Most modern tents are lined with thermal reflective coating,. you know, to keep the people warm inside!

Wow toy trolls do dig for ANYTHING ! Lame.

Censored,. or you don't know how to post? weak monkey.

If that's true, it's ridiculous. I agree - no thread should be deleted here unless it contains something obviously illegal (eg. kiddie porn), or something like hate speech (eg. all the antisemitic goofballs who keep popping up to vomit on themselves about zionism, or the trolls making racial slurs I've never even heard of to try to discredit the OWS, etc.). This was just an innocuous post about tents. Big deal. Censorship here is definitely hypocritical to the message of true democracy for all.

LOL! No, actually they're not. Points for a good BS attempt though.

To be fair and balanced (lol), here is another article refuting the thermal imaging articles: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2011/oct/26/occupy-london-tents-rubbish-science

military camo experts are basically saying the newspapers used the wrong settings...

dont knwo who is right, but would be interesting to see images from someone who knows how to operate the cameras

Heh, if it was, it seems silly. Who cares. Are they supposed to be in the tents at night? It's not like they're rallying against third shifters. Hehehe... good ol' fashioned muck rakers - you guys always crack me up. :)

Originally, i just went to the article to read it.. but went back to look for it later to see if other people commented but couldnt find it.

I find it more interesting that someone felt they had to go ahead and delete the thread..

[-] 1 points by e000 (371) 13 years ago

Yeah, that is interesting. To censor this thread is laughable - it's just a silly thing about tents, and people not wanting to wake up with their balls frozen together - but real censorship is complete bullshit here. If this was deleted by an admin, well, I'd have to say, first off, derp. Second, SHAME.

grin - friends, I make them in internet forums, heheh... ducks head as tomato whizzes past

[-] 1 points by armchairecon1 (169) 13 years ago

yea, found it by googling. linked it in the original message.

[-] 1 points by thebeastchasingitstail (1912) 13 years ago

You know what's not a good way to not get banned? Threatening to spam shit from Glenn Beck's rag.
