Huh?
"I quit. There are better ways to waste time than pointing out what you simply cannot [or will not] comprehend." do you remember who posted this

or maybe you just don't know how to read . think about every word you read . one word does not mean as much as all the words in the sentence .
jack and jill went up the hill , who went up the hill . where did they go .
where did i say YOU where hung up on the spelling or anything else .
so i guess you are the one that got mad .
ok i will not talk any more because you want to control what i think and say . so what does the freedom of speech mean to you . really what does any freedom mean to you .
It doesn't mean freedom from any consequences.or maybe you just don't know how to read . think about every word you read . one word does not mean as much as all the words in the sentence .
Ah, but it can: did you see Layoutshooter's typo, where he typed 'our' when he meant 'your' [children]? That ONE word meant a world of difference!

If you said it anywhere, I missed it. Which was my point: if we don't understand what you're saying, all you've accomplished is confusion. If that's your goal, have at it - but if you participate to discuss issues, you need to be a bit more attentive to your words and the message.
so i guess you are the one that got mad .
You guessed wrong.
ok i will not talk any more because you want to control what i think and say .
Wrong again. What I said is that YOU control what you say. If you don't care to make it clear, that's your choice.
so what does the freedom of speech mean to you . really what does any freedom mean to you .
It means anyone can say almost anything - but there are rules, even so. What you say here may be challenged as to accuracy, or it may just be overlooked as not worth the effort involved in understanding or debating or responding.
What you've said so far puts you in the latter category, IMO.
LOL!! There is just NO WAY you could EVER stress me out Greg. There is NOTHING in these forums that could compare with the real stresses I have faced in my lifetime. This is just PLAY.
Typos occur because I type fast. The keyboard cannot respond fast enough to keep up. My typing has slowed down over the years since I no longer "type" for a living. I was REALLY fast when I copied code.
Stressed out, how funny is that?
Too funny for words - I'm speechless.LOL!! There is just NO WAY you could EVER stress me out Greg. There is NOTHING in these forums that could compare with the real stresses I have faced in my lifetime. This is just PLAY.

Let me see if I got this right: typos occur because you type fast, and you were REALLY fast when you typed code.
For the US military.
Dear God.
Stressed out, how funny is that?
Ah but Cheri, you have to cut him some slack, he has been all stressed out by my comments in another thread.
Nah, LOS has some kind of Teflon coating - everything just bounces off without making an impression, far as I can see. [I think I'm jealous, actually.]
Yeah, Cheri, it's funny. Life normally is. When copying code it was not out of the ordinary to exceed 100 wpm in short bursts. Bu then, how would I know that, I did that particular job for 5 or 6 years, NOT only in the military.
The first computer I ever used was an AG22. VERY slow keyboard. Everyone in the room could out type it. The old Underwood 5 "mill" was, and likely is, the fastest machine to type on.
Why is it that you have such a problem with understanding that life is what it is? I mean, really, your have no experience or background in my former business and yet you believe that every said is made up. How strange is that? I would not DREAM of doubting your stories about your work in the medical field. I might question things so as to learn but that would be it.
By the way, my DAD was a "dittybop" of sorts as well and could send AND receive code, BY HAND WITH A PENCIL at over 50 groups per minute. I have watched Japanese "dittybops" copy the SAME exact targets that I did with a pencil.

Whatever that means....
Whatever that means....
What ever what means?
I was a very accurate code collector. I still type fairly well. The typos are often caused by the keyboard not responding fast enough to my fingers.
One of the tricks to typing fast is typing "light". The keyboard I have needs to be "punched" more. It often skips letters that I type. I just seldom proof read.
Sorry, you may THINK you know things about my old business but you really don't. Phil does, so does "wimpy007" and one or two others, they were there. You were not. There is little accurate history on the subject to learn from. Most that has been written was either written by malcontents/failures in the business or by outsiders with an axe to grind. There is just no where for you to go to learn it.
The history of the the "business" and the "Cold War" has be so misrepresented it is beyond belief. I have yet to see a history book that gets even close. The higher the level, I.E. college vs. high school, the more lies and misinformation you find.
What a shame too. It was an extremely important part of our history that cost the lives of well over 100,000 Americans.
Every part of our history is important, IMO.What ever what means?

That doesn't seem obvious from the statements: "When I type fast, I make typos. I typed code very fast" does it? It's a very simple conclusion to WHAT YOU SAID.

Duh. One of the tricks to clear communication in writing is proofreading - please don't blame others for your lack of attention to what you typed.
Sorry, you may THINK you know things about my old business but you really don't.
If I gave that impression, it's wrong - what I know about the subject would fit in a flea's ear. But I do know that in matters of 'security', the truth is not for public consumption, so there's not much point in trying to learn it.

No insiders with an axe, huh? I'm just asking from curiosity - it's not something I have any real interest in, precisely because the 'truth' is impossible to ascertain.

More curiosity: exactly how many books have you checked?

Yes,EVERY part of our history is important.
I once TRIED to give a SLIGHT brief history in here about my Dad's involvement in China with the Chicoms. When the "Cold War" REALLY started, while WWII was still being fought. I was attempting to connect that to Vietnam, (since that is where my Dad was when he got the message that the war ended) when I was rudely told that I was talking about "pseudo" (from the Greek lying or false) history. So I gave up, no point, they learned it in school. It HAS to be right.
Just for your information the first "official" recognized U.S. death during the Cold War was Army Air Force Capt John Birch, OSS operative, killed by the Chicoms on August 25, 1945 IN CHINA. (link below) But my version of history is "pseudo". My Dad made it up to be sure.
The ONLY axe I have to grind is to get the reality out. THEN people would be able to make up their minds on fact rather than fiction. Keep in mind that the Soviets started infiltrating U.S colleges in the 1920's. I know, that is "pseudo" too.

Your personal history creates an interest that I don't share, which does not mean I don't believe what you say, just that the subject doesn't interest me because I am under no illusions that what I read will be factual, no matter who wrote it.
How about responding to the questions I asked, though?

I am sorry. I was NOT posting my "personal history". I was posting history. Most people DON"T care what happened in the Cold War, you are not alone.
Which questions. Please post them in order, without the quotes. Your purple font is VERY hard to read.

so answer my question. what does freedom mean to you
and there are rules who makes the rules .
lot of the challenges is because the one that is doing the challenging is to lasy to look for the answer and it does not matter how much proof the one that is being challenged has you still wont believe them BECAUSE YOU WILL ONLY BELIEVE WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE , OR HEAR . .
"Ah, but it can: did you see Layoutshooter's typo, where he typed 'our' when he meant 'your' [children]? That ONE word meant a world of difference! "
why didnt you say something the first time you read it . because you knew what he was saying .
you simply cannot and will not comprehend. and you dont want to .
Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.
United, the American people are unstoppable. Divided, this plutocracy continues.

Forget it - you wouldn't answer them anyhow, because you never have yet, you just go off on another tangent. Which is why these threads rival the Energizer bunny, right?
I quit - I'm bored now.
Already answered, with post 24. Have not changed my mind or answer since then.

The "code" that I copied was morse code. Sent by the "bad" guys. The Soviets for the most part.
I am not sure what question I did not answer.
I make typos on a "slow" keyboard. I type faster than some are able to keep up with. LOTS of typists have that problem. I have less of a problem on a better, full size keyboard.
I an NOT trying to NOT answer, I just don't understand the questions.
"Secret" military, covert stuff WAS a good bit of the Cold War. The story cannot be told without going into it. I guess maybe your idea of the "Cold War" is just soooo different that mine that we are not able to speak about it. That war lasted a bit longer than 40 years and I worked the last 20.
The only wars I have any interest in are the American Revolution and the Civil War - and I don't know beans about them, really, but I do read a bit here & there.The "code" that I copied was morse code. Sent by the "bad" guys. The Soviets for the most part.
I am not sure what question I did not answer.
Here's one: you said that most books were written by malcontents or failures in the business, or outsiders with an axe to grind. How do you know that the 'malcontents' were, [malcontent] or that their view was wrong?
And part of the business involves discrediting an enemy, so how can you be sure it wasn't done to some of the people on 'our' side?
And how many of the books [textbooks] you say are wrong have you seen?

Smart people proofread to avoid embarrassment, ok?
