[Flag Pole Pear]

thanks gheto.

orange sounds quite, uh... risky... :S

hopefully nothing will happen.

 

[Elvis Presley]

sorry for my pissy attitude but im sick of the color coded warning levels,
I think they should always set it high to cover thier asses if something happens and the level of awareness will be up......

im not trying to take this lightly, just sick of being told to live in fear......

 

[nbcrusader]

If you thng about it, living in ignorance is always easier..... at least at first....

I'm tired of hearing about this kind of thing. I hate watching the news, it's informative in all the wrong ways- just a week ago they were talking about how open our subway systems are in New York or discussing the military strategy for war in Iraq... then there was the report on Michael Jackson yesterday evening, that time could've been spent informing people of this code orange warning. But, no, I like waking up to hearing about terrorist warnings because I just love living in fear while not only riding the train system that is so open to any kind of terroristic act but also going into a city with tall buildings that may be the target of more terrorist activity.

It's snowing outside and that's cooler than terrorists.

As of 12:00 PM EST Feb. 7th we are now on a code orange alert.

 

[ouizy]

word Princess - I am watching the snow right now

 

[meegannie]

I'm glad today's a snow day. If I were at work, I'd be freaking out. I'm so tired of all this shit.

Same here.

Call me ignorant, but I'm not going to give it a second thought. I can't. Me worrying about it will not change what happens.

i would rather watch snow than ari fleischer. he bugs me in a big way.

 

[nbcrusader]

What do you wear on a Level Orange day??

 

[ghetofabu]

A t-shirt that say "Fuck the color system" on the front and "I will not live in fear" on the back.

 

[diamond]

oh the smugness of the thankless regnat populus..:

 

[Lilly]

are we at orange or canary?



can't even come up with two different colors?

 

[ouizy]

Tangerine actually

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

i was just talking about this shit with my co-worker. this does not comfort me at all since i start flying next week for the next 3 mths.

 

[zonelistener]

Notify me when we get to Fuschia. That's when I get scared.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I'm sick of listening to people complain about this. Right after 9/11, everyone complained about the government not comming forward with what the intelligence they had gathered, and how if they had come forward we could have stopped what happened. Now, a year and a half removed, they have a warning system in place that lets the American people they are hearing more things without jeopardizing their intel sources, and everyones complaining. We live in a different world now people. The color system may not be the best plan, but it is something. It's not meant to strike fear. It's meant as something to make you more aware of your surroundings, more alert for something that shouldn't be. Anyone who lives around the New York area has been living under an Orange Threat level since September 12, 2001. There's extra security at all the bridges and tunnels, armed guards with M-16s greet me when I get to Penn Station. Things move a little slower, there's extra security measures taken everywhere, but my life really hasn't been adversly effected. I don't live in fear. I'm not pissed 'cause there's national guard everywhere, I'm glad that the government is doing what they can to try and keep me safe.

Great point Headache. Collectively, the nation has a very short memory.
