Comment Re:I have very little sympathy (Score 1) 487

some people just go into denial if something like that (that is likely to kill you) happens

In other words, they lie to themselves.

others just completely get blocked mentally and don't dare to tell the truth because they know what will then happen.

In other words, they lie on purpose.

people don't always lie because they're evil masterminds bent on infecting the world.

No. They lie because they're selfish assholes who don't give a fuck about anyone else (including their own children in this case).

Nothing you've posted contradicts your parent. The man lied and endangered the lives of others in the process. All of that is a matter of fact. Why he did it is mostly irrelevant, but since you brought it up, I'm gonna go with the selfish prick theory.

Really? You don't think the people that want to get to the United States are going to travel somewhere else first and then simply go to the US from there?

That's already what they do because there are no direct flights between the region and the US. It's not that hard to check a passport before letting someone board a plane.

This just speaks to the idiocy of the entire security clearance system. It's nothing more than witch hunting.

When a create a system where the only people who get through are those who game it, then the only employee you will have will be the ones you don't want.

This of course explains a lot about the government security industry.

You've worked very hard to make that impossible. Your whole political position is based on the idea of giving people stuff. You give people free healthcare, free food, free housing, free education, free transport, free cell phones, free anything and everything.

You sure seem to know a lot about what everyone does and thinks and says. Do you work for the NSA or are you just full of shit?

What does this have to do with scientists conducting research? The bureaucrats handing out loans are completely different people. It's unlikely they even know each other exist except in the loosest sense (like I know people in Bangor exist, but I don't know a single person there).

Now you're going to sit there and attempt to be smug by claiming that the scientists are only doing their jobs and only pushing out the facts

Well, that is IN FACT what they're doing. I'm sorry if you find this unpleasant, but that's the reality of the situation.

That's fine. You're playing politics and it is in your political interest to make that point. I'm being honest, unlike you

Lay off the magic kool-aid buddy.
