::::::: Gas Station To Offer 'Terror-Free' Oil
::::::: February Grand Opening Planned
:::::::
::::::: POSTED: 3:29 pm EST January 22, 2007
::::::: UPDATED: 7:08 pm EST January 22, 2007
:::::::
::::::: 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.

: 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. 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? 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!

teh dark arts of "borrowing" NSPs are not spoken of these days.
which is probably a good thing considering the damage I used to cause
back when I was evul.


I want to know, Sir: what prompted this change of heart?
