Where's the evidence that its a "bullshit" alert?? This is only the second time in a year and a half that its been raised to orange pal. I also think that if they really wanted to scare people they'd goto red.

Yeah we're so scared. Got anymore Anti-American one-liners fish. You've been full of them for the last year. Too bad I've never seen anything of substance come off your keyboard.

What? You just seem to snap at her for absolutely no reason...
First of all, she has a valid point. It could just be "fear tactics". They have actually been very commonly used in government as a form of control. If you can get the masses to believe that they're in danger, they will become dependent on the government for a sense of safety and security.

First of all she said it like it was a fact. Second of all I seem to remember an arguement where she said something to the effect of "The US deserved 9/11" last summer. Third no one is cowering in fear because of a heightened terror alert. Most of the public knows that theres not necessarily any attacks comming. The threat alert system is used to make the public aware that there are threats. That way no one blames the government for not warning people like they did with 9/11. Please research stuff before you make asinine comments. If you would rather I attack Canada and their world renowned government let me know. Theres a ton of mud I can sling when it comes to that.

For fucks sake, no one's "attacking" the US in this disscussion. People are making points about their opinions. Remember that, OPINIONS.
And why do you keep bringing up her past points from other arguments? They have absolutely no relevance.
Oh, and I'm sorry I forgot about your years and years of study into EVERY topic you argue about. I guess that gives you the right to attack other people because their opinions differ from the "facts" that you offer, because you are so highly educated...
