How did the whole tin foil thing get started? Was it from the mel gibson movie signs?

I think so. Now it is a fun way to draw attention to conspiracy theorists.

Only children restort to profanity. Your profane accusations are typical of adult children and are not relevant in a logical reply. Please tell us how the British did not do step one - then did not do step two. Somehow you completely ignored that most relevant point.

Do you only want to argue. Do you advocate more schoolyard massacres? Or did you run out of coffee?
Answer the fucking question, liar.

TheMercenary denies that numerous FBI investigations to avert 11 September attackers were suspended and stifled by the George Jr administration. One of those investigations in MN resulted in the lady FBI agent being featured on national press covers. Another quashing investigation resulted in America's #1 anti-terrorism investigator being driven from the FBI. He died as chief of security in the WTC collapse because he took a job where he expected the next terrorist attack to occur. That knowledge is why John O'Neill took the job AND was force out by the George Jr administration.

TheMercenary lives in a world where a political agenda (including pre-emption) justifies "Mission Accomplished" and his contempt for American soldiers. When TheMercenary cannot deny that his wacko extremists are intentionally subverting America, then he avoids the indefensible by looking totally foolish in aluminum foil.

TheMercenary approves of George Jr actions that created hundred of thousands of dead of Iraqis. TheMercenary does not dare deny it. So he posts silly pictures.

Deception in honor of Jack Abramoff, Skilling, Ralph Reed, and Alberto Gonzales is how TheMercenary must deflect anything that he could not otherwise deny. Previously listed were the many FBI investigations that could have averted 11 September. TheMercenary cannot deny this. Aluminum foil so that you will foget this reality.

One solution was provided AND provided quite clearly. Why is this difficult? Britain had no problem eliminating school yard massacres quickly by (step one) acknowledging the problem, and then (step two) solving the problem. Where is that answer so difficult? This answer provided three times now.

What have we done in the US? We don't even acknowledge a problem exists. Show me a consensus that even defines a problem? All we have is deadlock as the many 'special interests' subvert and distort a problem. Total response. Even make assault weapons legal. Make sure hollow point bullets are available. That clearly solves problems because the Chinese may invade any day now.

So jinx, if what I have posted is not an answer, then you can tell me step one: the problem is clearly defined? You tell me. What is this obvious problem? Where does consensus says America is even the most violent western industrial nation?

If I did not answer the question, then you can tell me what the problem is? If I have not answered his question, then clearly step one exists. What is it? It does not exist. America has no interest - will not even discuss in government - step one.

In another thread, Urbane Guerrilla reposts a standard myth by posting half facts about Switzerland. How many times is that half fact exposed for what it is? Even in The Cellar, active denial of 'step one' is widespread.

This nation's real response to 32 dead in Virginia? We lowered American flags. That's it. Well we did that for the dead in Nam. But today, we don't even do that for the dead in "Mission Accomplished". Death has now become that routine. Step one is not possible because we don't even acknowledge a problem exists. You might. But we (including you) deny a problem exists. Some have now said violence is what makes Americans American.

Duck Duck demonstrated a serious problem. America is the most violent western industrial nation. None come close. Instead of acknowledging the problem, she is attacked quite aggressively for posting a fact. You tell me. Does that mean we have acknowledged a problem? Of course not.

Step one: acknowledge a problem. America does not even do that. Shooting of Amish kids in PA - yawn. So many angry demonstrations because these things only happen in America? Instead our actions are inaction – deny a problem even exists – to even attack Duck Duck as if naïve – including responses that said challenge "go back from where you came". Another classic response called denial. This same answer that xoxoxoBruce now has three times over. Situation normal (SNAFU).

Why is an answer posted days ago so difficult to comprehend? Maybe because denial of a problem is that deep and that widespread? Answer comes complete with examples of success. How many schoolyard massacres occurred in Britain after they did step one and step two? Zero.

so are you saying that what the average citizen can do is..... to realize that there is a problem? And that the problem is that we have guns?


is that what you're tryng to force out of your quivering, undulating, and insanity fogged brain and cucumber stained fingers?

You tell me. Do we have a problem? You tell me? Demonstrate that step one - acknowledging the problem exists. You posted because you have an opinion. So tell me. Does a problem exist and what is it?

yes.....the problem is that people can't face the reality that we're still subject to the 'survival of the fittest' effect. It's something that we like to tell our selves that we've moved past as a society.....but we haven't.

SoLimberjim completely ignored the question. The question was not about survival of the fittest. The question is whether America even has a problem - such as created schooyard massacres.

Lumberjim's evasive answer demonstrates my point exactly. First thing they did in Britain was to not do what Lumberjim has done. Americans will not even do step one. Columibine - yawn. Students are massacred in VA - one bullet every 3 seconds for nine minutes - and Lumberjim will not even acknowledge a problem exists let alone tell us what that problem is.

Someone be so violently armed as to fire a round every three seconds for nine minutes - and the outcry is how loud? Crickets.
