    I like Jimmy V, and agree with him often. :) And I don't have a problem with how he's carry on his conversation .... I just don't approve of the idea that people should leave America rather than protesting wrong doings.

    Thanks. Please know that at no point have I ever suggested anyone should leave America rather than protest anything. Despite the "paraphrase". ;)

    Exactly. Not only is it trolling, but it's very fucking boring.

    The target of my post is prejudice and the ideology it breeds. There has been much back and forth, yes, but I have not been posting alone in a vacuum.

    but the target of your posts are off topic and aimed at one or two people on the board, not the topic itself.

    ok ... let's move on shall we?

    i tried my best ... if one or many members on this board discount my views because they feel i am biased or hold prejudice ... there isn't much I can do about that ... so, be it ... i kinda knew this would happen and i did fall for his bait early in this thread which i knew would derail the topic ... i'll take full responsibility ...

    as was the case in the boston explosion thread - the issue of civil liberties is critical and i think once we, as a society, give them up so freely ... it only leads to bad things ...

    No, the target of your posts is certain members of the board who you've decided to label 'prejudiced' - though without managing to supply any evidence whatsoever to support your little fantasy (grudge) - and to then derail a thread by attempting to hammer your lame duck argument home.

    The topic was intended to be provocative and as a consequence the discussion went in a direction the OP had not planned on, sure. I don't think that is trolling.

    And the issue I am talking about is much larger than just one or two people.

    Sorry if you have become the poster boy for this. I did know you would jump in and roughly what you would say, and hopefully we can disagree on it again in the future. :D But I do hope no one reads this thread and thinks that this is uniquely a Polaris X-ian problem. It s not.

    no need to apologize ... i'm not too concerned what people on this forum perceive me to be ...

    i only jumped in because i knew you were referring to me (and you dropped the bait) ... i only jumped in to try and show you that your perceptions are way off base ... but i can only do so much for someone who's made up their mind ... but i do understand why you believe what you believe ... it's sad but i understand ...

    again - my recommendation would be to add me as a foe ... no one should be subjected to prejudicial hatred ... free yourself from it ...

    The topic of this thread is government intrusion and the erosion of civil liberties. Everyone reading this board understands that. But you decided to derail the thread by insulting particular members of the board who you have a problem with, based on a lame fantasy that you harbour in your head. You then spent 12 pages trolling, all the while pretending to disguise your personal attacks behind some alleged moral crusade against 'prejudice'.

    Though what's even funnier is that you actually think you're fooling anyone.

    The topic of this thread was not government intrusion and the erosion of civil rights. If it was you would not have gone with the snide "Is America Really The Land Of The Free" subject, nor followed that up with

    Well, that backfired on me I guess.

    This thread is awesome.

    People just going at it and in the meantime Chadwick is desperately trying to stay the course with his submissions.

    Nice job at trying to pretend to know what I think, and what my motivations are. Are you 'God'?

    You clearly have a problem/grudge with me and are frothing at the mouth to try and provoke me. If I didn't find your lame gibberish so amusing I'd probably fall for the bait and tell you what I really think of you.

    In the meantime, this thread is about government intrusion and the erosion of civil liberties. I don't think America is free, and I have many reasons for doing so.

    Now stop derailing this thread. Your bullshit became boring a long time ago,

    how to disable the RFID chip in credit/debit cards

    I also heard of nuking your driver's license in the microwave for a few seconds, it is believed that cops can't swipe your card through their computer system with a fried magnetic strip. obviously they can manually type your shit in.

    I don't know you. I don't particularly care for the way you carry yourself on this board sometimes, but I don't have a problem with you. I have a problem with your ideas. Not the same thing.
