From: someone ... I've spoken with Secret Service agents in a class I took in High School and they investigate EVERY threat they hear about, joking or no. I'm swayed as an SS agent would never oversimplify for an advanced high school class or have reason to self-aggrandize a bit. Just how many agents would it take to investigate say 2 million members of MoveOn.org. Remember, the definition of "threat" has changed a tad over the last 4 years. And no, I'm not a member.

From: Hank Ramos We all perceive Bush as ingnorant. That couldn't be further from the truth. Dont understimate Bush. He's on a mission from God, and has a plan up his sleeves that we may not want to admit is there because we are making fun of the man. He's carrying a big stick, and isn't afraid to use it. To the detriment of Americans everywhere. Unfortunately, ignorant and manipulative aren't mutually exclusive. The man thumbs his nose at hard science and turns instead to religion-based morality. He admits that he doesn't care to read. He doesn't watch or read the news. He is not only ignorant, he is willfully ignorant, which is worse.

No, actually, it was an advanced class. And they do investigate each and every threat. As for your ridiculous MoveOn statement, I would like to see where the group endorses violence. Though, I'm sure a number of the members were investigated; hardly the 2 million you imply.

From: Kris Ritter Cool. Will they come to the UK to see us especially? I could do with a laugh, and doing it at the expense of paranoid Merican assholes is good enough for me! So what did you say, Charlotte? I wanna know! Edit it back! (I'm pretty damned sure you're safe from the Secret Service in Crewe  ) /waves to Secret Service. Hello! I'm a terrorist! I'm gonna, um, drive a milk float packed with C4 into the White House and blow that stoopid moron up! Yeah, thats it. My plan is already in action (I'm unloading the milk from the milk float as I write). *waits to see how long it is til someone says they called the Secret Service on me* No, someone at Secret Service calls someone in John Scarlett's office at SIS/MI6, then they come and take you to Ft Monkton and grill you for six hours or so with a US Secret Service agent from our Embassy in London in attendance. I'm not kidding, this has happened.

I'm not kidding, this has happened. I have no problem with that. I have nothing better to do, and poking fun at uber-paranoid Merican stooges seems like fun to me. The milk float is ready! I'm shipping it off to Washington today! When I get there and pick up the C4, you've had it, Bush, you bastard! (Anyone in the Washington area know of a store that sells C4 btw?)

From: Hiro Pendragon I nominate Kris Ritter for the Darwin Awards Honorable Mention this year. Why? Because I don't respect that fucktard 52% of your nation voted into office? He aint my fucking Commander in Chief. It isn't that I'm politically on one side or another or anything... I couldn't give a shit which side ru(i)ns your country. But imo that man is a fucking joke. So sue me! Or is it because I'm not scared of threats of visitations from your pathetic Homeland Security or Secret Service knee jerk brigade? Man, if they really want to waste their time coming to see me for threatening to kill Bush with a milkfloat, bring it on so I can laugh in their faces!

And not 52% of my nation. 52% of eligible voters who went to the polls. So, more like... 20%? 18%?

Man, if they really want to waste their time coming to see me for threatening to kill Bush with a milkfloat, bring it on so I can laugh in their faces! Why don't you just e-mail that directly to them? See how big your mouth is then.

I was waiting for someone to, as I said in the first post. You're the one BSing about the fact they're going to come get me! I'm just saying 'uh, no. they're really not'.

And yeah, they're probably not reading the Second Life forums, but I've heard of weirder things happening... why take the chance? I'm just surprised that you would risk, at the very least, a ruined day in an interviewing room and a smear on your permanent record all just to brag how much you're not scared of them.

Why take the chance? Why risk it? Because it would be funny as HELL if it happened! What, really, do I have to be scared of? A couple of stern looking SS men trying to keep a straight face while they accuse me of hatching a plot to dash across the Whitehouse lawn at 10mph in an electric vehicle packed with plastique with a view to killing Dubya? I really dont think it's much of a risk, Hiro. And frankly this was more about making fun of you for being so straight laced about it than it was about believing it'd happen for a second. I still don't think even the US government are quite that pathetic yet. But hey! I'm always willing to be proven wrong about just how pathetic the US are

http://www.rabble.ca/babble/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=002060&p=Here's an example of just how extreme they take every "threat". http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a95349.htmHere's another, where they investigated a report made by a woman who overheard two guys joking about clinton in a coffee shop. "The Secret Service has a mandate to take every threat seriously and we do investigate every threat," said Lisa Risley, a Washington, D.C., spokeswoman for the Secret Service. So, yeah.

I'm just surprised that you would risk, at the very least, a ruined day in an interviewing room and a smear on your permanent record all just to brag how much you're not scared of them. Oh, for gods sake, the LDS monitor virtually everything on the internet, just to make sure that no insults to Mormons go unanswered, so I have little doubt that some type of federal filtering program quantifies things said here for their content, just like everywhere else. Even so, there just aren't enough people or minutes in the day to check into everything, but they sure do try to get to the genuine seeming ones. Now as for the C4, that just complicates life; much better to arrange a shipping container full of ammonium nitrate fertiliser, which is a lot easier to obtain, and will give you an explosion 40 times greater than the one in Oklahoma City. A dirty bomb, created with my son's dirty laundry could possibly be much more lethal than that!
