    apparently there was a shooting at the white house today
    what's that you say?
    haven't heard about it?
    well that's probably because it's being covered up as best as possible
    not a damn mention of it anywhere - not cnn not anywhere
    but here
    a NEW ZEALAND paper

    how'd ya like them apples?

    :rolleyes:

    The story ran in the SF Chronicle and was on the AP wire. An accidental discharge by a Secret Service Agent doesn't seem very newsworthy to me.

    Compared to the recent shooting: Not comparable.... however, I didn't see it on the news today! (well I didn't have time to see the news...) we'll see how far this spreads..

    I heard about it and read about it. It is in the news, but it is not page one news. Rightly so.

    More importantly it is not particularly newsworthy, especially on the heals of a real shooting.

    As for it being "covered up", that is just just a joke.

    This is a small news compared to that in Virginia Tech. So sad to see so many innocent people died in the shooting. Luckily he is not a muslim or else it will be branded as 'suicide shooter'

    Interesting, but like others have said...pale in comparison to recent events

    though it makes me wonder...did this agent possible what to get his 15 mins of fame and actually did it on purpose?

    is he still and agent now?...lol

    browntwn,
    you've got it out for me don't ya babe?
    after that last whatchamacallit thread

    :rolleyes:

    oh well.

    (btw it's HEELS not heals)

    are those pulled from rss feeds?
    I did a google search and not ONE result popped up
    THAT was my concern

    I know it pales in comparison to the other shootings
    that was not being contested at all

    I have nothing out for you Vanessa. It so happens your posts in several threads needed correcting, please don't take it personally. (I sure didn't take your red rep in the proxy thread that way!)

    As for my spelling you are correct, my bad. I often sacrifice my spelling on the altar of speed.

    Seriously, I read the story when I arrived at work this morning. Your post was innocent enough until you made over the top by claiming the story was being covered up... there was no basis for that little aside.

    The list was just copied and pasted from Google News search.

    well I for one think it IS newsworthy
    I DO like to know what is going on elsewhere in the world
    and I sure do like to know when a secret service agent SHOOTS someone by ACCIDENT
    that's just not very kosher, ya know?

    and just so you know, I don't think I ever participated in a proxy thread
    and I have never given out a red rep here.... yet.

    I prefer to banter it all out in the open
    that's more my style

    if you ever DO get a red rep from me, you will know

    :p


    vanessa.

    eta: I just realized you're referring to the proxify thread

    Here is the proxy thread you posted on.

    As for the rep, I just assumed it was from you as it was for a comment made about your post. Since I had received greens for that post, and one red that stood out, I just assumed it was from you. If you say it wasn't, that's cool. It really makes no difference to me - even when I thought it was you!

    I edited my post to reflect that I misunderstood the first time
    I do not deal with proxies so I know I haven't posted in any thread about them
    I did however post in the proxify thread pertaining to trademarks
    so yes, you're correct

    however, you do know what they say about assuming things don't you?
    if you ASSume you make an A$$ out of u and me

    and once again, no - it was not me
    it takes an AWFUL lot to get me riled up
    that thread was very mild in comparison

    I actually do believe people have to the right to disagree and move on
    I don't care much for baggage

    ;)

    Fortunately, no one was critically wounded, but otherwise who cares?
