You'd expect the secret service to be more discriminating when it comes to spending their time, there are quite a few presidents that you could have picked from.

I'd be a lot more worried about people that are not posting unspecific threats openly in nerdy forums. And if they would then 'watch' would be a much more appropriate response than 'alert to being noticed'.

"Secret service" apparently means do things without much secrecy.

For the record, I'm going to kill the president too. But to make it a bit harder I'm also not going to claim of which country.

Haha! It's not their time(money) so they don't give a shit. It's our money.


I also never claimed which country, and I didn't even capitalize the P.

If people were better at grammar, the taxpayers would have slightly more money :)


Hah, score one for the ambiguity of the English language, I meant 'also' as in 'just like jrockway'.
