That’s ok. If you don’t want your kids to be spies in the future, just say some stuff online that the agencies will dislike but which is not illegal to say. Hopefully that will discourage them from recruiting your children in the future. After all, who would want to hire the sons and daughters of a person who raised them with views that run so obviously counter to the opinions of the agencies. Edward Snowden is a hum…
Doing that is a great way to get you on a list, and not necessarily the good ones.

Re: Spy Kids
#62Those look like fun activities. The list can be expanded and made a lot more fun: * See if you can make your sibling confess to eating an extra scoop of ice-cream: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senate_Intelligence_Committee_... * Slip some substances in your parents drinks and see if they'll tell you the password to the bank account so you can buy whatever you want: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MKUltra * Jealous how…
I mean if you know your sibling has just placed bombs on 42 ice cream trucks in order to shut down nationwide ice cream distribution (they don’t want you to have any) then I think it would be reasonable to use enhanced investigation
Exactly! Extra bonus points if you can avoid leaving traces or your work and manage to plausibly deny the methods you used when questioned by parents. Hint: it's not "waterboarding" if you don't use water. What other liquids might you use? What does your gas station sell?.

So many choices! coffeeboarding, mountaindewboarding, windshieldwiperfluidboarding... not sure if slurpeeboarding would be more or less effective.

I think it's your english that is at issue here today. Try a little harder. :)
So I need to pay the price for your poor communication skills? No.
No. You need pay nothing nor indeed take part in intellectual life at all.
But at least your abuse made for a change from the usual "this is Markov chain authored" in response when someone rightly abuses the CIA which really seems to need reform. That might well be coincidence, of course.

So if someone says they can’t understand your English, and then you’re rude, and they then say you have poor communication skills, you’re being abused, is that right?
And if anyone disagrees they're just missing out on your brilliance?

You're pretty new at HN judging by your account. It's clear to me in numbers that other people understood that post I wrote in plain english, as they have what I write for years here. You didn't? And you were pretty rude about it. I've noticed this exact pattern happens often when someone picks up on smears of Snowden, or Assange or criticizes the CIA, NSA & FBI. Maybe that is simply a coincidence.
Disagree all you like, that is encouraged around here. Make pretend Snowden is a crook with zero evidence to back it, you'll get picked up on the point. Enough of us have followed the story.
Best of luck.

Sorry for my very late reply! I was super busy, and your reply was late so I missed it.
So basically the only conclusion from following the story is the one you've reached?
And an offer to understand your native language is rude?
I see no shame in English not as a first language. However, you think I should be punished for your mistaking it as rude?
No.
