Quoting: -GLP-Christian- This is what you are doing OP? And the rest of you agree? What's this muslim murder central? I used the example of what was almost certainly a honeypot twitter account many of us here were following during the Nairobi Shopping Mall Massacre. Many GLPers are likely to recall it. A "good" (ethical, moral) honeypot operation serves to draw in people who are already dangerous, and who are actually plotting or commiting harm to others. A potential target is given endless opportunities to back out of actually committing a crime, and thus goes on his way unharmed. Only the truly dangerous are caught, cornered, and arrested. A greedy, immoral, misused honeypot operation preys upon the lonely, the emotional, the outcast who is just looking for fellowship, to be a part of something... and then further lures and guides him into stating or doing things he would have never considered stating or doing had he not been lured into it. Right now many Americans are angry, emotional, and fearful. Many GLPers are vulnerable to being drawn into such things. Whether we like or dislike the whole social engineering concept of internet forum honeypot operations, they are very real. People make money off of them. If someone is already dangerous -- actively plotting harm to others -- I for one would be happy for him to get caught up in an ethically operated honeypot. On the other hand, if someone is simply frustrated, lonely, fearful, and angry right now, I would not want him to get caught up in, and lured, and coerced, and guided into something terrible that he never would have dreamed of committing on his own.

If you dont think thats whats in play now you should be safe as you are to stupid to be any threat. In nature the stupid die first. Those looking for any comfortable solution will be disappointed since govt has legitimized your extermination and delegitimized any resistance or functional alternative.. In the end, no matter how peaceful and profitable it may once have been it always is sent for slaughter |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 48073165 United States 10/08/2013 01:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A "honeypot" is a trap. Quoting: goodmockingbird A "honeypot" is a sort of media enticement that is intended to incite susceptible individuals to incriminate themselves. We saw a great example with the Nairobi Mall Massacre twitter feed that was so full of lurid tweets about jihadi activities. Susceptible, outcast loner sorts could get caught up in the fever pitch to be part of something dramatic and exciting, to join a movement, and they could post things like "Yes, I will join you Brothers, and I will slay the infidels." Presto! Aspiring Jihadi gets to meet new friends, and gets invited into meetings, gets to meet somebody's uncle fresh back from the 'training camp'. He would be schooled on how to assemble dangerous, uh, things... and even get a free ride to the place to, uh, make the thing do something destructive. *'Hey, this thing's not working' * Handcuffs Right now here on GLP we are seeing a whole lot of foreign (and domestic) anonymous coward threads that are worded in such a way as to lure upset readers into incriminating themselves by posting intentions of violence. "When are you Americans going to do something..." is a typical sort of thread title. DON'T FALL for IT!!! The site owner and the moderators here have ZERO tolerance for posts either inciting others to violence, or threatening violence. Plus YOU as the reader do not want the potential headaches that could come your way if you were foolish enough to fall into such a trap. As you can see from the example about "When are you going to do something...", the threads titles and opening posts do not technically threaten violence. They lead and encourage you to post threats of violence. Practice discernment, and do not hesitate to hit the 'report abusive post button'. By doing so, you're not censoring or banning anyone. You're just asking the mods to take a look at something. Typical Fed tactics. This site is trolling ground for all kinds. Be careful and don't do or say anything stupid. |

You're just asking the mods to take a look at something. Well said, I always liked your posts. Although I have pointed out things about the American Government before, but I never ever said anything to incite violence, I don't support that, and I even said yesterday in a couple of threads that you guys must stay peaceful. So this is good that you say that. I see this sort of thing all the time here too where they try to incite youth on social media to become violent or extreme, because some want to start civil war or have escalations. Which in the end, just destroys your cause and plays into their hands. Good luck Americans! |

Why are there wild hogs? They are destructive and a nuisance. You see, hogs are pretty smart really. They learn to adapt. Also, there are so many that you can't kill them all. If our planet continues to evolve, the only thing that will stop the growing population of wild hogs is the availability of food. They can forage though and are quite good at using any opportunity for an easy meal. They can't get all of them no matter how hard they try. |
