In any case the warning went out on a military frequency to the pilot of "Iranian F-14". Graham

I > guess the Brits are more fucked up than I gave them credit for. Your exact quote (which is now snipped from above but remains below) was: "Unless you are a terrorist, what are you worried about?" I am sure I can see the word terrorist there. I have nothing to hide. Because I have nothing to hide I object to people checking out things unless I choose to let them.

It seems I have to as your short attention span sends this conversation in circles. I dont mind doing it though - there is always the off chance that something will get through to you. I am impressed by how obvious you make it when you dont have a sensible answer. Talking (in the USENET) to you is similar to talking to a seven year old - except I know they will grow up. >> > Movements?

They keep changing > the city, but they still haven't got it right. I dont care. The issue this was about is the rights of people and the right to be presumed innocent. Because _you_ claim the IP address resolves differently through no fault of your own is fine in the good world. The bad one this debate is about gives you no latitude. There is doubt so you should be detained until every single detail of your life can be examined by people who have no reason to be subjected to public oversight. >> What are you trying to hide here? > > > I have nothing to hide.

I have also submitted to government vetting in the past. I have even been vetted by the US government at one point. I chose to apply for the job and volunteered the information. I realise you cant see the significance of that, which is a shame. Don't you have some circuit boards to play with? |
