Florida implements system for people to call each other terrorists!

I wonder how many angry ex-wives and practical joke playing high schoolers it will take to put all of Florida in Guantanamo.

"Sheriffs in 13 Northeast Florida counties announced an online system Thursday for residents to report suspicious activity they think may be terrorism-related.

Individuals can make reports online to any one of the counties from Nassau to Alachua that are part of the iWATCH program.

The site provides examples of red flags to watch for, such as people with an unusual interest in building plans or who are purchasing materials useful in bomb making. Important places to watch include hobby stores and dive shops."

Cut Florida in half at Lake Okeechobee. The southern part, as goofy as it is, behaves better than those morons in North Florida.

How is this any different than calling 911? Remember the lady in MA or CT or somewhere around there that called the cops claiming her husband was going to go on a rampage with hopes he'd die in the standoff so she could get everything?

I see this as a good thing that could easily be abused and manipulated, much like many other gooberment programs.

Can we just use this anytime involving Florida?

Hey, at least we don't have face-eating zombies in Northern Florida! And we can function daily without being fluent in Spanish.

Now if you are talking about the non-coastal areas.....you may be onto something..... in the center of the State we've got some interesting folks....

Really we need to cut off D.C. first, followed by NY, NJ, California,etc....

And for the record, Florida hasn't gone south of Okeechobee in decades

Now if there was a national language, I could back that statement up. It's also surprising to see an associate publisher talk about language while starting a sentence with the word, "and."

Interestingly, English is the official language of Florida. And 27 other states.

But now I'm starting sentences with conjunctions just to berkeley with you.

It is okay to start a sentence with "and".

Because you can does not mean you should. And here is an example of such a case. You could berkeley your sister. But that is not socially acceptable. And so you shouldn't. So there.

My coworker has never seen Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

I think he's a terrorist.

And now how do we get to the Challenge?

You do know what boat stands for right?

My, this forum has gotten a bit formal these days. I wasn't aware that perfect syntax was necessary.

If you start your sentence with "And" you might be a terrorist. Or a "raycissss," which is worse. Is there a line for that too?

One part of the Federal Government tells you to prepare for emergencies. Another branch in the same department tells law enforcement that people that prepare for emergencies might be terrorists. Entrapment? Where's our lawyers?

You need this to prepare for an emergency!?

Brick dust is explosive. So, if you see anyone with a brick, or maybe in possession of a brick wall or house or something, should you be making that online report? "Over there, careful!! He has a brick!!!"

I'm surprised to see you use the word "that." In nearly every sentence, it is unnecessary filler.

"I wasn't aware perfect syntax was necessary."

Central Florida is best Florida, no one even bats an eye when you go out back start up your car without any emission controls, a hood, most of the body panels or glass (hey it's got seatbelts and turn signals), then shoot off some fireworks, load up your guns and shoot pigs out of the back of your pickup truck or Nissan Murano convertible if I recall the GRM use for it.

This is the Red Scare all over again. This time though the politicians have laid the groundwork in advance to get you detained for as long as they like rather than dealing with the legal ramifications later.

What are the words I'm looking for...... I believe they start with F and O.
