****Deletion Request**** Democracy now in the hands of a select few (boneheads).

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

TB2000 is going downhill and the only thing that will "save" it is if Mommy Squire and her brood go forth in an all out offense to rid the forum of "suckiness".

After all, you sheople can't think for yourselves, the Sysops need to think for you...

The cult collapses in on itself now, no trust, no freedom... just brainwashing!!!!!!

( Doomers really do suck, unfortunatley they will now have a safe haven to suck and spread their stench into the hearts of newbies )

NO! Doesn't qualify!! Has take. Is Civil. Is reasonably on topic for TODAY, with the change over being announced. We SIMPLY disagree, which is NOT a delete criteria. Come on folks. I expected this type of response, why don't YOU? Besides, we really DO need to learn how to get over some minor disagreements and concentrate on what we SHOULD be doing. It's kind of an adult thing.

WHo is about to leave for work so won't be doing much responding until LATE tonight

Go ahead and leave this thread up. It just shows the folly of the pollys.

We do have more important things to worry about. Gary North is warning us about this

-- Butt Nugget (nugbuttet@better.mousetrap), August 02, 1999.

I say leave it up. Any connection between chicken little(sh*t) and this doomer that sucks?

-- y2k dave (xsdaa111@hotmail.com), August 02, 1999.

Sorry, I think this image is a fraud. And, though I consider myself no expert at anything, my comments are "professional" ones.

The image above looks like it's a few images of a white van in different views which have been cloned over and over again. If you understand perspective then you would see it immediately.

If you understand the capabilities of a program like Photoshop then you'd immediately see that a much better job could have been done : )

so much for Doomers@suck.com's resolutions to be more responsible

-- troll (bad habits@die.hard), August 02, 1999.

I think "Doomers" post is an opinion. His/her perspective on this forum and the "change of weather" that Chuck posted about today. No profanity, on topic, I agree. If unfavorable opinions begin being deleted folks, "sheeple" (despite the fact that we may "GI" to one degree or another)we have then become.

-- Barb (awaltrip@telepath.com), August 02, 1999.

Mike, I thought it was a fake when I first saw it. Then Dr. North linked to it, which vanquished all my doubts that this was a hoax. It's real folks. Besides, does it matter if it is 600 vehicles or only 6? They are painted UN white after all.

-- Butt Nugget (nugbuttet@better.mousetrap), August 02, 1999.

Oh, FYI and for what it's worth, about 2 months ago, my husband and I passed one of these white unmarked school buses, tinted windows, had US gov white/blue lettering plates, only lettering I could read on it was "bluebird." I believe on the lic. plates is sm. letters. We live in the midwest, great plains, this was on Sunday afternoon on a major interstate. We made a point of trying to get a better look. That's all. Not saying I believe in anything, just aware,FWIW And FYI.

-- Barb (awaltrip@telepath.com), August 02, 1999.

I vote we make Aug 5th 'International Warn Your Freinds and Neighbors About the White UN Vehicles Day'!!!!!!!!!!!!

-- Butt Nugget (nubuttet@better.mousetrap), August 02, 1999.


There isn't any point being responsible around here, it's obvious that there can be no free thought as long as this place is being constantly scrutinized by a select few people who call themselves "moderators", especially after the last thread (change in the weather).

Your just mad because you know it's not fair to treat the entire forum like they can't think for themselves about what is being posted. You talk about how it's a waste of thread space but that is bunk. All you have to do is click on the links at the bottom of the page and you got everything that has ever been posted.

No, your mad because you just don't like it when the "opposition" comes 'round your little doomer farm. But since you people can't possible help yoursleves from responding to trolls, then by all means, cry for your Moderators to come to the rescue.

Pathetic, absolutely and totally pathetic.

-- Over and Out (Doomers@suck.com), August 02, 1999.


Why should we do that,"Butt" when we have people like you who lead the way?

-- Barb (awaltrip@telepath.com), August 02, 1999.

Butt,

I do think that this was a real image which showed white vans. The fact that it has been "enhanced" to make it appear more dramatic is why I say it is a fraud.

Perhaps we just disagree on what constitutes a fraudulent image?

However, from my perspective, taking an image and making enhancements to it in order to increase the dramatic effect means that the image wasn't viewed to be compelling enough on it's own.

Could someone please get a photo of the 5,000+ vehicles parked near and under the Carquinez Bridge in Benicia, CA? I am sure Gary North could use the photos. I would but I live 3,000 miles from there.

-- travelinggal (travelinggal@travelinggal.com), August 02, 1999.

HOLY JUMPING JUDAS! THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT NOW?

Yes, there is a branch of the govt. service that uses white busses and vans with blue lettering. And if you want to see a whole bunch of them just go to Morganfield, KY and feast your eyes. IT IS CALLED JOB CORPS.

Morganfield has the BIGGEST Job Corps installation in the country. It is on the back side of the old former army base there. And you can see those busses running in and out any day of the week as they take the students to and from various places. I have been in there a bunch of times as my wife was the director of the JACS office there a few years back.

Good Lord!

-- Paul Davis (davisp1953@yahoo.com), August 02, 1999.


Mr. Davis

Are you saying they're on a "Search and Employ" mission?

Mr. Suck

Don't give up yet. I was starting to enjoy the New You and the contribution you were making.

watch six and keep your...

-- eyes_open (best@wishes.net), August 02, 1999.


Is civil, Chuck? Gimme a break. Delete and delete doomers@suck too.

-- sue (deco100@aol.com), August 02, 1999.

I know for a fact that the US Navy uses white vans, busses and sedans, and have for 10 years or better (They used to be grey or black). I suspect that might just be a plain vanilla government standard vehicle. What the photos may show is a supply depot where gov't vehicles are delivered, then dispersed out to whatever department or service paid for them.

Don't tell me everyones gonna freak out every time you see a white vehicle now?

-- Retired Squid (me@here.net), August 02, 1999.


I only freak out when I see white coats coming.

-- please not again (straight jackets@butterfly.net), August 02, 1999.

Diversity is what makes things interesting. I don't think this is a pointless thread, I think it has its place like everything else. It's the thought police around here who get on my nerves. For me, there is not only one perspective on anything. As to judgements of value about posts, we make that for ourselves, I would hope, unless under the veil of "talking the talk" some really are sheeple in drag.

-- Barb (awaltrip@telepath.com), August 02, 1999.

Whoever reposted my post from the last sadman thread, I think you have good taste! HA! HA!

-- Barb (awaltrip@telepath.com), August 02, 1999.

Those vehicles parked near the Carquinez Bridge are imported automobiles, in storage until delivery to dealerships. Most are from Toyota or Honda or Nissan. They have been using these lots for years. They arrive by ship, depart by truck or rail. No big deal. Nothing to be paranoid about.

-- (Living.near@by.bridge), August 02, 1999.

No, SUCK, we're just tired of YOU!

Chuck, if you don't delete this type of thread, what is the point? There won't be any REAL change!

-- (getting@sick.of trolls), August 02, 1999.


I am very concerned regarding the photo of the White Bus Fleet. Why didn't we win that sweet contract for delivery. You can find fleet stock of all kinds such as this in many locations throughout the country. To consider this to be some sort of dark agenda activity is to display one's narrow scope of knowledge. Get out of the house once in awhile, there's a big wide world out there.

-- For (your@info.com), August 02, 1999.

As I said above, reread the full set of forum criteria. While I may agree or disagree with the sentiments expressed, they are expressed in more or less civil manner, they are id'd as opinion, and have NOT earned a delete. As some may have noticed, I am NOT hesitant to "fix" portions of threads that have degenerated into no-thought-ness..

Chuck

Besides, having driven past the home of Bluebird, in Olean, NY I can attest to the fact that they have NO white buses in view from Rt 17.

I respectfully disagree with you Chuck. The post from Doomers@suck is NOT about opinion, it is a personal attack, pure and simple:
