Over 1000 posts and I'm still a newbie

I guess it was because I didn't arrive till March 2004, but I feel like I've missed a whole bunch of stuff. There's SBP and his thread about stalking (thanks for scaring the living piss out of me, :P) there's the spats that went on during the primaries that I missed, and most of all I always feel like there's an inside joke that I'm not in on.

Fill me in!

1. First off, when someone stalks you, don't go hiding in the closet

and don't threaten to put on body armor and taser them! Holy shit, you scared me!

And, I'm not stalking you, btw. I just happened to have followed you in here :7

2. HA!

Even if you were, I wouldn't care. BTW, I was kidding before, but as I said, not EXACTLY prime stalking target. :bounce:

EDIT: I am the freakin king of not getting subtle humor.

3. Then hang out with SBP some more - he's the king of subtle

(and sometimes not so subtle) humor - he'll teach you a thing or two!

4. Please read I'm new too. This is my theory.........

This is odd. Say you wanted to rig an election. How would one do it? What would be the easiest way to do it, without involving too many people? A good old fashioned "crisis." Scare people away from the crime scene so the dirty business can be done. Everyone knows that if Kerry was going to win he would need OHIO or FLORIDA or both. Those are the only two that would need to be messed with to assure victory for either side. In Ohio there was the famous "Warren County Lockdown" because of "terror" threats. What about the less infamous "Bomb Threat" at the State Elections Office in Tallahassee the day before the election. I guess my point is this....... The only two places that needed to "fixed" (Ohio& Florida) both had a scare tactic applied to a government building the day of, or the day before the election. If they both had the same "crisis" on the same day it would look odd even to people who are not avid news watchers.
The State Elections Office in Tallahassee holds what? The main tabulating computers. It would actually be easier to hack in the main tabulating computers before the actual election because you can place "kernels" in place and never have to mess with it again, and you would still get what looks like "actual" results. The Warren County Courthouse holds what? The optical scan equipment that can be hacked into and votes can be messed with from as low as the local level and as far as the state and national level. By doing it this way you would actually have control before and after the election and you run a smaller chance in getting caught because your using to different modes at two different times.
To get this done all you would need is 2 or 3 people in Ohio and Florida to get this done. Not an army of computer hackers. Does anyone else besides me notice that there were means, opprotunity, and motive here? This even explains the exit polls......

Thank you,

5. you have almost 1500 posts since march

not to shabby! the best way to figure out things is to send some money to get a star. if i remember you can`t use search and that would really help you figure out whats gone on. i started here when there were about 10,000 members now it`s 50,000+ . oh yes there are some inside jokes that you`re not in on,but don`t worry, alot of us still haven`t figured out what the joke is.
