: Gas Station To Offer 'Terror-Free' Oil
: February Grand Opening Planned

:
: OMAHA, Neb. -- Area drivers will soon be able to fill up with
gasoline
: made from "terror-free oil."
:
: KETV in Omaha reports that a gas station is about to open near
129th
: and Q streets named Terror Free Oil, and the idea is to offer
: consumers petroleum products from countries that do not sponsor
: terror.
:
: The gas station is associated with the Terror-Free Oil
Initiative.
The
: group's objective is to encourage Americans to buy gasoline that
: originated from countries that do not export or finance
terrorism.
A
: representative said that Omaha's will be the first of several
: terror-free oil gas stations to open across the country.
:
: "The terror-free oil initiative is dedicated to encouraging
Americans
: to buy gasoline that originated from countries that do not
export
or
: finance terrorism," according to the group's Web site.
:
: Chris Decker, professor of economics with the University of
: Nebraska-Omaha, said the idea may make for good marketing.
:
: "From a business perspective, it's kind of a neat way to
differentiate
: yourself from the competition. To me, that sounds an awful lot
like
: what we in environmental economics refer to as eco-labeling.
Like,
: when you purchase a can of tuna with a symbol that there was no
harm
: to dolphins to catch the tuna," Decker said.
:
: Will drivers make a special trip? Mary Ann Buscher said the
station
: got her attention, with its bright red, white and blue
advertising,
: but she isn't sure when or if she'll stop there.
:
: "I wouldn't go out of my way to go there, probably. No, I
wouldn't,"
: she said.
:
: The grand opening is Feb. 12.
:
: Survey says.
:
: Would you buy your gasoline from a station that receives its
inventory
: from countries that don't sponsor terrorism?
wouldn't that rule out buying any petroleum products from USA or
UK
companies?
or is "Shock and Awe" in some way different from terrorism?
According to DemocraticUnderground.com
(see
http://www.democraticunderground.com.../31_shock.html )
"They can call it "Shock And Awe" if they want; but - by the
Pentagon's
own admission - we've already got a name for this kind of thing,
and
it
is
'terrorism.' "
The definition for "shock and awe" follows:
"The battle plan is based on a concept developed at the National
Defense
University. It's called 'Shock and Awe' and it focuses on the
psychological destruction of the enemy's will to fight rather than
the
physical destruction of his military forces."
The definition for terrorism follows:
"defined by the US Department of Defense as "the unlawful use of --
or
threatened use of -- force or violence against individuals or
property
to
coerce or intimidate governments or societies, often to achieve
political,
religious, or ideological objectives."
I can't see much difference.
So can netkkopping be considered a form of terrorism?
I am not sure about that.. try reposting your post.. 21 times in a
row..
seperate post.. all saying the same thing... and we can sit back.. and
wait
to see if the netkkkops
get you toss'd.. make sure you add a the same website in each post..
and
change the subject line.. so it says the same thing only with a slight
twist
.. make it appear to be spam...
... and I will sit back.. and see what happens..
Only then.. will I be able to give you my opinion on this subject.
Bwaah! Ya, PowerPost is yer friend.
Once, long long ago, I got something like 39 complaints in *one*day*
from
some idiot hamster froup. Got TOSd, of course. Damn.. it was worth it.

You guys are full of great suggestions and very handy tips! I also
noticed
that the more you pay and ISP the less likely they will toss you. I'm
really
looking to push the frontiers of how to deal with a netkkkop but in no
way
do I have the vast experience as you guys in Flonkland do.
We're from the nest, not the flonk. Not that we don't love teh flonk..
I'm a pretty good
learner and can do things with a creative and ironic twist. My first
goal is
to get various means to deal with the netkkkop, so I am accruing a vast
warchest of ISP's of multifarous sort. That internet problem provider
Dizum
seems to be a handy tool to use. Do you recommend them?
They're anonymous. Nobody takes anybody who posts anonymously seriously.
You wind up with the nym "Noman Nescio" (which is "necessary name" in some
language)
My hope is to use
the free providers as an ablative shield and then strike with iron clad
kinetic pile driver. In the past you guys were instrumental in
castigating
the same netkkkop and even provided a guiding light to those in the
future
that would have to deal with this person. I plan to build upon your good
example and I can only hope to do you proud. So please, any pointers,
tips,
suggestions and links on tools, methods etc to deal with netkkkops is
greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Remember, when you're using a free provider, they show your IP number,
thereby giving your netkkkop your ISP to complain to. You could wind up
losing not only your news account, but your whole internet account. Now, I
haven't bothered to look at where you're from, but I know there are some
areas where, if you lose your ISP, you're through. There's only one. So
think carefully before doing that. My best suggestion would be to find one
(newsserver) that's troll-friendly. They won't TOS you.
Road runner is very troll friendly.. they let you get away with everything.
