Secret Service is on to us!
« on: June 04, 2014, 12:19:48 PM »
http://www.nextgov.com/defense/2014/06/secret-service-software-will-detect-sarcasm-social-media-users/85633/

So, the secret service is buying a software package to track and analyze social media.

Among it's capabilities is detecting sarcasm. I can only hope the program comes across this forum first...

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I really think that's a great idea.

I have no doubt that this will work as efficiently as all other government enterprises.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

The people on this forum are very intelligent, yet sarcasm often goes over the heads of some. How would a government-run software program do better?

I for one welcome our omnipresent elected rulers and all their efforts to protect us.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Examine your premise... or was it meant to be sarcastic?

Maybe it went over my head.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Personally, I do not understand how a bunch of people demanding a bigger govt can call themselves anarchist.
