Rule #3: "
Do not post a message on how you find a topic or user irrelevant, boring, childish or stupid."Quoting Usnseallt82 (Reply 74): Need some help calling that kettle black? I'd just be quiet and let someone have their own opinion. You seem to think you're royally entitled to yours. |
Of course people are entitled to having their own
opinion, but one thing is expressing an
opinion, another thing is misrepresenting the contents of an article. It's this misrepresenting which lead you to a conclusion which simply wasn't there. See my comment below on the alleged "
Spanish Customs officer who met the planes as they arrived".
Quoting Usnseallt82 (Reply 74): Other than that, there's a good chance that amidst your arrogance you might want to try and listen to some of the members who are from the same country as the Agency. Several might know a little more than you think. |
So far, only GDoole01 has posted anything of substance on this issue and he is from the same country as the agency, if I am not mistaken.
Quoting MDorBust (Reply 75): The Spanish governmetn knows who arrived on the plane, by name none the less. They know who left on the plane... again by name. They know where the people stayed in between the flight operations... by name again. But somehow, the CIA managed to smuggle people onto or off of that plane without the people who wrote lists A and B noticeing them? |
The "people who wrote" lists A and B, to use your expression, based their info on administrative data. They did not perform a check at the platform the moment the plane arrived. Having the names of the people who travelled on that plane on certain flights doesn't necessarily mean those were all people aboard that plane.
Quoting MDorBust (Reply 75): Some one did have to make those lists you know. That means someone, probably a Spanish customs officer met those planes. |
Re-read my original post, will you? If you wouldn't have used "selective quoting" a few posts back, you would have noticed what my first post said on this specific issue: "
The investigation happened after the flights occurred". This means that no Spanish customs officer met those planes as they arrived/departed!
Quoting MDorBust (Reply 75): Cram subject in the boot of a car, and drive them to a US military airfield... where there doesn't need to be a record of who goes on what plane. |
Perfectly possible, although there aren't too many all-US military airfields left in Europe and there's also the additional risk of getting discovered by local authorities while driving to such an airfield as cars would have to stop ocassionally to get gas, for sanitation, to eat, etc. Not to mention the risk of blowing their cover in case they are involved in an accident which potentially has some tremendous diplomatic implications.
Quoting MDorBust (Reply 75): Wow... I guess it was B744F that was going to make this statement... but I guess one tin foil beanie club member is just as good as another. |
If you are unable to maintain a civilized discussion, then I see no point is continueing this discussion with you. I am really getting sick and tired of this pathetic behaviour of some of the users in this and other threads. If you don't agree with me or another user, let's stick to the topic and refrain from taking cheap and childish shots at other users!
Quoting ANCFlyer (Reply 77): Your solution, Sir, is the magic Suggest Delete button . . . it appears to work rather well. |
I've already used that button quite a few times in this thread alone. But users like yourself should know by now how civilized discussions are supposed to be held and refrain from making these of-topic posts in the first place.
Quoting ANCFlyer (Reply 77): Now, as I was saying earlier in this thread . . . . first, only the real extreme peace-niks, blinded as to the real world, will give a hoot in hell whether the CIA has airplanes or not . . . since they've had them for decades, and done exactly what they're doing now with them, appears I'm right . . . only the real extreme peace-nik nut jobs have a hardon over the whole issue. |

Quoting ANCFlyer (Reply 77): As for what I think of the CIA Air Force . . . I don't. I could care less. Let them move who they want where they want . . . .if you're not a bad guy then I doubt you'll ever have to experience it. If you're a terrorists - in reality or theory - you might. In that light - too bad for you asshole.
If you're a country that supports and assists this activity, fine. If you don't, fine. Whan the terrorist assholes come creeping at your doorstep and you seek assistance - don't call us, we'll call you . . . |
And this is where we finally get to the core of the issue, of
your issue with this topic, that is. You could care less whether these flights occur or not because, deep down below, you actually support them. Why didn't you say so in your first reply? It sure would have saved us all alot of time.
This discussion is about whether these flights actually took place. Whether one approves them is a whole different subject. Up until now, you have desperately tried to avoid admitting your true opinion on these flights (you even concurred with the thread-started that torture is a bad thing and to me you responded that you do not condone it). In stead of admitting this in your first replies, you resorted to cheap name-calling stating this and other threads are for Conspiracy Theorists, a claim you still maintain even though you are aware these flights actually occur.
Quoting GDoole01 (Reply 78): What you see here is what serious boards are for: serious discussions of the topic the board advertises. So far, the thread remains and has a big following, and the advertising is not false, yet. |
I completely agree with you! Unfortunately, over and over again discussions on this board are 'hijacked' by users with completely off-topic replies, cheap name-calling and telling each other how good they think a certain off-topic post has been. It's getting pathetic. Sometimes I have the impression this is the Kindergarten-section of a.net.
Quoting ANCFlyer (Reply 79): but your constant sniveling is reallllly beginning to bore the shit out of us . . . . |
Who's this us???? Again, if you are soooo bored with this topic, refrain from replying. As simple as that!
