NBC reported it first? That surprises me. As I’ve seen folks comment on this blog before: “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.” I wouldn’t want to be Ms. Stone about right now.

You’d think the nuns would have beaten his knuckles bloody for all the atrocious spelling, but I’m sure they had plenty of other reasons to do that first, right Master Chief?

Wow, little Lindsey must be thinking of the words of Fred Thompson:

“This business will get out of control! It will get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it!”

malclave:

What is Crome?
Simply put, Crome is an OBD1 Honda ROM Editor which lets you edit and add extra features to your stock ECU. This gives the ability for one to run a Honda B/D/H series engine with forced induction systems (ie. turbo, supercharger) or individual throttle bodies. Find out more by continuing to the product information page.

Not sure that’s what Kilo was referring to, though. (smile)

NHSparky: possibly – especially if they ate a really spicy plate of curry or Tex-Mex first. Then you’d arguably have Burning Crome. (smile)

Gibson’s Burning Chrome is a great story if you’ve never read it, by the way; 30 years old this year and eerily prophetic. It’s available from multiple locations free in text or PDF formats.

I’m a huge fan of Gibson, Mona Lisa Overdrive, Neuromancer, Virtual Light…all good stuff. Sterling is very good too. Then, of course, is the current Magnus Opum of cyberpunk, Snow Crash. Best pizza delivery scene ever. Been meaning to read Cryptonomicon, but haven’t gotten around to it.

NHSparky: yep. July 1982.

That story marks the first use of the term “cyberspace” as well as originates the phrase “the street finds its own uses for things”.

One day I’m gonna have to get around to reading Gibson’s Sprawl trilogy.

If all that is true, it’s clear she doesn’t care about how she impacts other people. I took a quick glance at that page. Very self-serving of her to put up a “Hire Lindsey Stone” page and much as I suspected…she doesn’t think she did anything wrong. Her apology is a lie.

Here’s a little quote from her “hire lindsey stone” facebook page:

‘Well this has been fun guys, but all this hate and bitterness and anger is making me sleepy. You guys will have to drip-feed your vengeance into each other for a while. But I’ll be up bright and breezy in the AM to see how much anger can be posted onto a single FB page! Don’t disappoint me now!!’

Obviously, she’s enjoying the attention she’s getting, or she would not continue this crass behavior.

You all are pathetic. Yes, she did something stupid, but let it go. People do stupid things all the time but you dont see it getting on the news, and people starting hate pages on facebook.
She was simply being the exact opposite of a sign. Its like when people pose next to statues or signs like this:

Children you are.

How about you and Lindsey go join one of the services.

Immature kids.

Shes not my friend, I just can tell the difference between someone being malicious and someone being stupid. She was stupid, thats all. Dont ruin her life because she made a stupid decision. Its like you all are mad about your dtupid decisions in life, like joining the military

@38.

Joining the military was stupid?

Wow.

And what did you do exactly?

We gave something.

You appear to justify yourself on the moral high ground. Exactly what have you given?

Now think before you respond, child.

Better, yet. I have a suggestion…

Why don’t Lindsey and her “partner” volunteer at the Caisson and shovel shit, wash the horses, talk to them (at Parade Rest, because they outrank her) and then….

Take 10-12 sections for and on “Flags In” and Flags Out”. Just the two of them. No gloves, no coin assistance.

Discipline by virtue of pain and humiliation works wonders. (and this approach is light)

She strikes me as a Theory Y sort of child; maybe she should learn Theory X.

Shout to you, Ex-PH2.

#38- People ruin their lives with stupid decisions all the time. Would you be just as quick to defend a man sexually harassing a female coworker? Would Lindsey be as worthy of your defense had she, “in jest”, been caught mocking the residence of LIFE by calling them “retards”? Would the internet counterattack from that be as disturbing to you?

Probably not, as neither the military, or those who died are Politically Correct.

@ 38-SL. With your last sentence you just proved yourself. There’s a saying popular with the troops, “All gave some, some gave all”. What have you given? Those of us that have served have earned things you can’t begin to fathom. Pride, honor, commitment. Sit down little girl, adults are talking here.

ex-PH2, it’s the parents. We were raised by old school Mexican parents that didn’t play games. Dad, a truck driver, used to tell us when we were out, “You embarrass me and I’ll embarrass you”. Mom, a custodian, would say, “Wait ’til we get home”. It was a different time, if one of your friend’s mom saw you doing something wrong not only would she let you have it but then she’d call mom to tell her what you were doing. Then you got it again when you got home and when dad got home you got it AGAIN!?! You didn’t do too much stupid stuff. Dad was “Sir” and mom was “Ma’am”. A different time.

My kids were shocked when their Anglo friends got in trouble, they were sent to their room. My kids got their buts busted! Now-a-days, when kids get in trouble, they get a “time-out”!? My grandkids get in trouble and they get a swat on the bottom.

Red Ghost Says:

@38, joining the military was, for about 20 years, the best decision I ever made. It was superseded by two decisions that came about because of my service: I married my wife (cousin of a fellow soldier) and became a Christian, because of my wife. As a Guardsman, the contacts I made in the Guard lead to 3 jobs, including the one I’ve have for the last 13 years. That job is now my career. Had I not joined when I was 20, I’m not sure where I would be in life, but I can’t see how it could be better, and I can see how it could be so much worse. No regrets, and so much to be Thankful for. From Kabul, Happy Thanksgiving America!

Oh, I see! It’s the difference between parents who give a damn about their kids and parents who are drek.

That explains a bodacious lot of drek reality shows and drek at protests and demonstrations, as well as drek posters who make clear that they had drek for subject matter in school.

Thanks!

RB325 and SL, you can stop making excuses for Ms. Stone any time. What part of “this stuff follows you forever if it’s on the internet” do you NOT UNDERSTAND?
