Snowden, "famously paranoid" [View all] ProSense Aug 2013 OP

It's the regime that's acting paranoid. Pursuing scary whistle blowers and threatening them. Tierra_y_Libertad Aug 2013 #1

Yes, that typically character-assassinating headline was hilarious from an "irony" villager Aug 2013 #2

His words. Are you suggesting he's not helping his case? n/t ProSense Aug 2013 #4

...taken entirely out of context, by you. As usual. villager Aug 2013 #6

What context is needed for "famously paranoid"? ProSense Aug 2013 #10

Your OP falsely insinuates it's some kind of third-party diagnosis. villager Aug 2013 #18

What the hell are you talking about? They're his words. n/t ProSense Aug 2013 #27

"What the hell are you talking about?" Indeed. villager Aug 2013 #29

The usual, villager... MrMickeysMom Aug 2013 #176

picking those two words out of the entire article and using it as a headline Mojorabbit Aug 2013 #140

Nah Mojorabbit Aug 2013 #150

I don't even know what this OP is supposed to be about. NuclearDem Aug 2013 #151

And perhaps your history has you reading more into it than is there. Just Saying Aug 2013 #156

Except there's a difference between the colloquial definition of paranoid and the clinical NuclearDem Aug 2013 #164

what's to worry? bigtree Aug 2013 #13

Thanks for posting this davidpdx Aug 2013 #195

Pursuing people entrusted with classified documents who steal thousands of them, pnwmom Aug 2013 #34

Wow! A whole list of scary bogeymem. So, who's paranoid? Tierra_y_Libertad Aug 2013 #58

Well, we know Snowden is paranoid, because he said he was famous for being paranoid . . . pnwmom Aug 2013 #61

So, you and he agree that the world is very dangerous and we should all duck? Tierra_y_Libertad Aug 2013 #72

Not duck. Igel Aug 2013 #96

Got a link to Obama saying that? ProSense Aug 2013 #7

He has as much context as you do, for your fake headline villager Aug 2013 #20

Clearly, the OP is upsetting to you, but that's not my problem. ProSense Aug 2013 #26

Clearly, the responses are upsetting you, but that's not my problem. villager Aug 2013 #31

LOL! ProSense Aug 2013 #36

I agree the thread is rapidly become bizarre, ProSense villager Aug 2013 #37

Abandoning all pretense now that you've admitted to focusing on my "track record"? ProSense Aug 2013 #40

Ah yes, and now the lapse into the psychoanalysis of the responses... villager Aug 2013 #42

Wait, ProSense Aug 2013 #44

I guess that's why you and others rushed to this thread, huh? n/t ProSense Aug 2013 #48

I rushed to this because I don't take kindly to perceived mental illness being exploited NuclearDem Aug 2013 #51
