We Get Death Threats
From computer science PhD candidates who are stupid enough not to anonymize their emails:
I think youre a TERRORIST for no tinforming the people the right information, and educating them on whats right. You should be arrested and HUNG for treason. No worries though because in due time ALL secrets will be revealed. When that happens you will be the first to be decapitated, and be judged left to suffer the horrors of the coming of your god! Have a wonderful day. Thank you for your time, MAYA.
Hey, if I get hung or decapitated, this is the guy the police should be looking for:

observed and noted. Back it up, and send yourself an email with the photo in it, explaining that if you are found dead, this is the first guy they should question. Title the email - FOR THE POLICE IN THE EVENT OF MY MURDER.
The photo already looks like a mugshot.
Book 'em, Danno.
Cyber threats are as illegal as physical threats.
Decapitated, huh? Just like his terrorist masters do?
Does he have to remain anonymous?
Anyone else notice the perp has one green eye and one brown?
Wierd.
Anyway... I'd also have your attorney or executor of your estate hang on to the info. He'll know what to do if anything happens.
After giving a talk refuting a bunch of 9-11 claims this Sunday, I got harassed by some member of the local Denier group. He was like the reincarnation of Rasputin and freaking followed me around the room! I filed a complaint with the police.
JoanBasil, please note that we are not talking about creepy eBay sellers. We are talking about creepy members of your own little club who believe the same batshit things you do. If for some reason you ever break ranks with your little pals, they will turn on you.
I think they should hang this kook just for his misspellings.
As usual, a liberal without a brain.

Excuse me!? This fool making death threats is no liberal. I am a liberal, and I have a brain, thank you very much.
Let me say that I have no evidence he's a liberal, and indeed, I have some reason to suspect he may be somewhat conservative, without getting further into it. Yes, I did notice the different color eyes; it's fairly uncommon but not unheard of.
I think the fact he threatened you for the free flow of information is completely against liberalism.
John Stuart Mill
Although I'm a big fan about his quote on war, he was a socialist, so not himself the brightest bulb in the circuit.
I would rather mispellings than flowers, frills, granola, and smilies...any day.

Heh, I've got a little Computer Science lingo to tell that guy, "PWNED!"
not all conservatives are stupid; however, it is true that stupid people are usually conservative.-John Stuart Mill
1 billion failed commies say otherwise :)
Stupidity know no political boundaries. I know plenty of morons whose idea of a deep thought is "like, we shud hang Bush y0!". On the other hand, Nazynic and his ilk definitely fall on the right hand side of the spectrum. In general, from my experience, liberals tend to be more "educated" while conservatives have more life experience. As far as intelligence goes, I don't know any truly intelligent people would classify themselves as (or fall into the category of) either conservative or liberal.
liberals tend to be more "educated"
Let's be honest, most "liberals" today are not liberal (for instance, classlical liberalism gives a thumbs up to free-markets, nowadays most "liberals" are for more socialism, at least at my age).
And Bush and the big-government Republicans aren't really conservatives, either.

This is true. FDR and JFK were Liberals. Today’s Liberals are actually leftist or "progressive" and they all consider themselves highly educated. They are also the main believers of 911 CT. Almost nobody on the right believes in such nonsense. And contrary to popular belief, there are many very highly educated conservatives. They are the clear thinkers of today's society.

I would argue that the moderate Republicans and Democrats are the highly intelligent free thinkers. I really can't stand this left/right stuff. It's not like 99% of Dems in congress believe 9/11 was an inside job. The number of crazy far left Dems that ruin it for the rest of the Democratic party is about the same as the number of racist pricks within the Republican Party.
EVERONE'S s%!T stinks up on Capital Hill. Your best bet is to wade through the crap and find the moderate individual who agree's with what you think and back them up. The only reason that our government is so polarized right now is because in a way people want it. If we stopped flipping out about these hot button issues polititians would stop "marketing" that part of their platform and stick with the moderate stuff that actually matters. In a group of individuals concerned about tax reform or global warming your not going to find anyone that votes for someone because their platform is "Them gays are tryin to get married!"
"Them gays are tryin to get married!"
Hey, we let them get married here in Massachusetts.
I am much more concerned with having unelected judges redefining marriage then with the non-issue of global warming. That said, I agree that politicians are mostly worthless. Once you get outside of politics though you have quite a few clear thinkers on the right. For example you have Thomas Sowell. Who does the left have? Howard Zin? Please!
Yeah it is pretty sad that Howard Zinn's "history" of America is forced on loads of college students. Holocaust deniers almost have a better grasp of objective history than Zinn, and that's scary.
This fool making death threats
I didn't see any death threats there only "the wrath of YOUR god and the people" type of line. That is simply wishful thinking..
A death threat looks like this..
"I will hunt you down and pump a few slugs through your brain"..
See the difference? This guy looks like some kind of bible thumper/patriot that seems to have taken the truther cause and you stepped on his toes. Nothing here, move on..
Cyber threats are as illegal as physical threats.
Yep! There's federal laws on the book for physical threats and I believe the FBI cyber crimes unit take it up.
You know, I thought pretty much the same thing when I first saw that word in his post, but then 5 seconds later thought "naw..." and moved on. Now, seing it put down in such a clear and concise manner, I think you may be on to something. I for one will deffinitely be using those words in the future :)
elc, I added "tinformation" to Urban Dictionary - I pretty much quoted your definition. I hope that's OK.
Wow, I'll bet you feel important now.
Why did Western capitalist nations need to enact all sorts of socialist programs such as SS, legal trade unions, welfare, etc.? All that money and effort spent combatting and ideology that supposedly "just doesn't work"?
Welfare and social security don't work. Might want to use better examples.
Our taxes don't increase enough for social security to last forever, especially because of our retirement age and how long we live now. Back when it was created it worked because people didn't live much longer than 65 (if they lived that long at all). I'll probably never get money out of social security.
Welfare doesn't work because it makes people dependant. It's quite possibly the most broken institution in the United States.
clearly it is not primarily a matter of inherent flaws.
Even when Stalin was around Communism didn't work. He had to go to the world market to get grain because they weren't making enough (and his fail planned caused famines).
Look at China, they're pretty much capitalist, just retaining the autocracy of Communism.
North Korea's probably the best example though. One of the most backward countries on the planet - but nearly completely in the mold of Communism.
If Communism is simply a "failed ideology", why did the Western countries have to spend trillions of dollars combatting and undermining the Communist Bloc, even when opportunist elements were already reversing the ideology post-Stalin?
Because it wasn't communism we were battling, but the militant spread of the USSR's idea of communism. The fear was always that too many nations would come under their control, at which point we might not be able to stand up to them either economically or militarily. See, for most people the failure of Communism was a given. The only unknown quantity was whether or not it would take the rest of us down first.
Why did Western capitalist nations need to enact all sorts of socialist programs such as SS, legal trade unions, welfare, etc.?
That's a red herring. They didn't NEED to do any of that. They did it because they were democratic nations, and people voted for the individuals who promised to do something for the people. That's the way it always works - the masses will generally be favorable to anyone who promises to "look after the workers". That's why communism was possible, and that's why it took so long to fall - because the common people genuinely believed that they'd be better off under a communist government, and once the government took control they could excuse ANY measure by saying it was being done "for the good of the workers". Look at Castro if you want an excellent example of that at work. The guy was quite popular when he took power because he promised to make things better for the poor. Once he got in power he declared that he didn't need elections any more because "the people had spoken". He became a tyrant, and destroyed Cuba. Yet there are STILL people (especially in the west) who will claim that he's doing good things for Cuba, and ensuring equality amongst it's people.
The point is, that if you must struggle against something with such massive effort, only to see it finally collapse when traitors deliberatly dimantle it from within- clearly it is not primarily a matter of inherent flaws.
Bullshit. Gangs are inherently flawed in that they invariably end up killing off their own members, and harming the societies in which they operate. Yet we must expend enormous amounts of money and effort in order to combat them.
Or think about the Cane Toad population in Australia. It's inherently flawed in that, since they don't have any predators, the cane toads will eventually over breed and destroy their own food supply, thereby wiping themselves out. But the Australian people don't really give a shit that it's a self correcting problem - they need to spend inordinate amounts of money combating it anyway because otherwise the toads will destroy the human food supply too.
Just because a system is flawed, and will eventually self destruct, doesn't mean we don't need to fight it. What's important is how much damage it will do to us BEFORE it self-destructs.
You know the ignorance inside your head will tell you that that is a death threat. The truth is that is actually just a statement true to to the vengence of God for such monstrosities as creating and spreading this act of "Another Pearl Harbor." At least I would hope any God of mine would do the same.
