So I ask you some serious questions about your statements, and you refuse to engage in conversation and answer them, because of my...ego?
Brilliant! xxx
No, he refused to answer your questions because of all the negativity, emotional baiting, ego diminishment, shaming - it was just too much of a murky swamp to wade through. I don't blame someone who does not want to subject themselves to that, trying to separate the few valid questions you may have had from all the crud, it is kind of like dealing with an emotionally overwrought teenager, they may be listening but they won't truly hear you - and sorry if that sounds like judgement - it is just meant to be an observation.
Why don't you try rephrasing your questions and removing all the ego, which is anything negative.

Let's see how many we can find from my list above:
Yep, keep living in your little bubble of doom and gloom.
Anger, ego diminishment, personal attack, passive aggression
You all seem to will it on, and jump on anything that might be construed as evidence of such, whilst ignoring all the rest of the evidence that counters it.
exaggeration, blaming the victim
It's just a case of people believing what they want to believe, despite being presented with facts and evidence, even from those whom were directly involved in the proceedings since Monday.
exaggeration, generalization
Embarrassing. I'm really questioning whether I should remain a member of this forum. It used to be a place where people could think outside the box, look at evidence for what it is, and actually put some though into their posts.
shaming, anger, passive aggression
Where people don't even read the thread before spouting an uneducated opinion on proceedings.
intimidation, personal attack, anger, emotional triggering, ego diminishment
Like I said, embarrassing and sickening at the same time.
shaming, guilt, anger, passive aggressive, emotional triggers, ego diminishment etc etc
Here are all the questions you needed to ask, they were vaild with no ego or negativity:
You all seem to think that the Government of the USA wants to spread terror throughout the populace, but to what end? What is the motive? What's in it for them?
I mean, if they really really wanted to spread terror throughout the populace, why bring it a resolution of sorts after very little time? Why not allow the terrorists to continue their little reign of terror some more?

Awesome post, Sky is using emotionally baited rhetoric and seeking out as much attention as possible to detract from logical discourse.

I would like the moderators to note this post. I will be posting a new thread today and do not want this individual trolling it. Clearly here he threatens to object and belittle my opinions before even reading them. This is in clear violation of the site's ethos. I strongly encourage preventing this person from derailing future discussions. Thank you for your time.

This has been an operation process building over a 60 year period of time in which several previous false flags have already occurred (9/11) , Oklahoma bombing, etc.

Who says they are not going to continue further attacks using other terrorists, numb the public, and perfect their martial law techniques?
In the aftermath of tragic events or amid heightened global tensions, it’s hardly unusual for lawmakers to make emotive appeals in pursuit of new national security powers. Public opinion in the aftermath of a distressing terror attack in particular can sway citizens in favor of handing the authorities more intrusive surveillance powers, as occurred in most Western democracies in the aftermath of 9/11 (the Patriot Act being just one example). In the case of CISPA, however, it is tenuous in the extreme to draw sweeping links between cyberattacks and pressure-cooker bombs tearing through a Boston street, or cyberattacks and WikiLeaks, or cyberattacks and whatever else is agitating U.S. lawmakers on a given day

Please, apply those same criteria to Cottonwoodsandys first post on this page.
I didn't notice any of those tactics in her post on this page, but they may have occurred in another post, I'm somewhat skeptical given her calm and basically egoless responses to you over the last couple of pages, if you are going to make accusations like that you should be more specific as I was picking apart your post, I'm not trying to attack you so please don't take it personally, I just don't like to see someone emotionally or verbally abused (or of course physically which wouldn't happen on here), and I believe you are just as bad as the abuser if you do nothing when seeing such abuse.

I just hate how sheep we've become as masses. So sheep at the point that we cheer and applaud when our liberties are being squeezed and taken away. So basically we give our consent to be raped morally, mentally and spiritually. I was just right in my line of thinking. Boston bombing was just the prelude of what is about to come.

While the attention of the american people and the whole world is focused on what was happening at Boston Marathon and West Texas few days later, House of Representative passes in total silence the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, known otherwise as CISPA.This notorious bill undermines the privacy of millions of internet users. Welcome to the new Age of Control and shrinking of civil liberties under the guise of security. New World Order just sucks!!!
