We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
Wait, who are the terrorists again...?
Scary
This is a very sick person.
what is on the back?
just as delusional about his/her ability to accomplish these goals as our current government. if this person is militia, he or she is much further down the mental health ladder as the others in his/her organization.
Bush's "to-do" list? ;)
With some artistic detail...
Pray for the USA, thou shall not Kill
Ye gods! Some peoples' mental processes are just frightening.
The "kill green card" is the most disturbing thing in there IMO.
"Kill Anthrax N' Arafat"
Sounds like another metal/rap band mix...
this is so disturbing
Why itemize? Just kill.
After all, isn't that what happened in 9-11? People were killed, so now let's kill everyone else. I'm more concerned that the Clinton's are targeted by this decree of mental illness.
I shouldn't get too concerned, it's just a welcome note for our sailors.
Yeah, sounds like a Marine. kill, kill, kill
Discerning readers would note by the use of the phrase "homicide-bomber" that this is a FoxNews viewer.
That's it. I'm moving to Canada.
What is this, a to-do list for the Angel of Death? Wow, Fleet Week brings out all the nasties, don't it?
Kill... Brain Cells to write this list.
There is a heading on the reverse side that reads "passover." Maybe a hard-core Zionist/ Fox News enthusiast?
thousands of times more terrifying than the taliban.
What's Fleet Week?
Everything else makes perfect sense.
I'm I the only one that took this as an ironic look at the Bush administration's agenda and the war on "terror"?
Did anybody notice that this is on the back of what appears to be the bulletin from a Passover service? I have to wonder if that's intentional.

Wow, I sure am glad to live in Canada...
Does anyone see a contradiction?
Hey, I don't see what's so bad about this paper. How can you not agree with most of the things on here?
I said most, not all. I see only three things I disagree with.
I don't agree because the writer sees killing as the solution to everything. Sure, there are things on the list that I don't like, but a killing spree won't fix anything. That's how terrorists do things.
sorry guys, but this attitude is why most of the world hates americans! I know that's a generalisation, but there it is...
Woohoo for xenophobia!
Geeze...sicko! Why does he want to kill bill n hillary exactly???
The very same reason I want to kill Bill n Hillery, of course. *shifty eyes*
Be glad we have those sailors & marines for fleet week. You people talking smack about servicemembers would be the first ones dragged out of bed in the middle of the night taken down to the football field and put to death if the radical muslims had their way!
Slick Willie is why our country is now defended by mercenaries as much as military.
He decimated the ranks of the military...too bad he wasn't in the twin towers!
Did you write it, yodler66? You sure do have the right attitude
Kill yourself,man! You are the problem!
this breaks my little heart : (
This is truly disgusting, first of all how people can write this and second of all how people are fighting now on here. I bet the person who wrote this wanted this to happen, have people fight over it.
Doctor Germ sounds like a villain from a cheesy children's educational comic about hygiene.
And I find it amusing that this person felt they needed to distinguish between shoe-bombers and briefcase-bombers. All others hiding bombs in their accessories are fine, however.
I'm glad he ran out of room before he could add Democrats and Atheists.
Hey, Liz. What are you doing at Berkeley???
yes, lets kill homicide.
for sure.
because it makes a lot of sense.
right?
what the fuck?
I like how Islam itself is seen as the main problem. Not militant, radical Islam.
And at least they haven't gotten around to killing anything on the list yet, I don't think we have to worry about Bill and Hillary any time soon.
Please dont view this as every american's thoughts, this is just some over-patriotic trigger happy bastard.
You are all taking this literally. It think the author means it figuratively. One can't really 'kill' a green card. Or anthrax. Or terror. Only three of the items are actual people. But they are people who represent something. I think the author wants these *things* wiped out and, frankly, I see nothing wrong with wanting the death of terror and evil and germs and kidnappers and carjackers, etc. I may not agree 100%, but for the most part ...
first umm this person is VERY narrow minded and obviously extremely sick. But I'm from new york city and I was as close to 9/11 as anyone. It was scary but i don't blame it on Islam. I see it more as the radical interpretations of a religion. If you think about it, all religions...if interpreted TOO literally and TOO radically can potentially lead people to do incredibly horrible things. I mean...look at the crusades way back when...that was a "holy war". Who says that all but one religion should be abolished? crazy people.
Kill IGNORANCE, like yours. Dumbass.
I'm so glad that killing is the only way that we can get things done in this country.
Perhaps he meant to write, "Welcome Fleet Enema," and the rest is what he is hoping to discharge.
This is probablly making fun of Bush and the fact that our Jesus freak president has us fighting an unjust war. Consider that and calm down.
I'm disappointed everyone is so angry! I thought this was hilarious!
i agree with elspeth in belfast. i kinda chuckled in the way i chuckle at team america. it's a little too poetic, i think. kill homicide-bomber/ kill shoe-bomber/ kill anthrax n' arafat/ kill al queda/ kill traitor oath breaker
of course it's despicable if it's serious.
if it is satire, i'm delighted. i dunno who wrote this and why, but neither do you.
wow,this is a sick person, whoever wrote this needs to get a life.that is so rude oh my god
Yeah! Whats the worst they could do? Kill me-
Bush needs to stop losing his homework. Cheney is sure getting steamed. But his spelling is getting better.
You know something? As horrible and racist as this note is, there is something good come out of it. Reading over all the comments on this board makes me realize how many people are against this kind of hatred. It's heartwarming to see that.
...My two cents anyway.
Kill for the love of killing!
Kill as you'll all be killed yourselves!
Kill for the love of Kali!
Kill! Kill! Kill!
Ok, ok... you all most likely have it all wrong. Think about it for a second like this... Marines (and on the rare occasion, the Navy folk) are running around every morning around 0530 for about an hour all sounding off to running cadence led by the guy up front. That guy will then call out someone else to lead in cadence. It sometimes rhymes and goes along a set pattern of shouts almost like lyrics to a song or lines of a poem. This looks to me like a list of things to add to a cadence... you know, the variables. It was probably one Jarhead's notes of what to add to a cadence he learned. At least that's what it seems to an ex-Jarhead like me.
Many of you take it much too seriously, but mostly because you don't understand the context. There are a lot of disturbing military cadences out there that are seen as funny by the runners when they are made to repeat it just because its so ridiculous. It seems to me to poke fun at certain mindsets.
Perhaps we should have terrorists of our own to fight terrorism and bring the soldiers home. I like the entire list ! No I am not a marine.
rock......you're an idiot.......
my initial reaction = :(
But then I got to reading this board and all the comments and well, at least we're all thinking and having the converations of how we feel about these issues. That's a positive thing.
yodler66 no one is talking smack about service members. You are a gun slinging, right winger moron! BTW my husband is currently deployed so don't even try to talk to me about pride in our servicemembers. Some of my closest friends and family members are serving right now and have served. I am extremely thankful for all who have served and sacrificed for this country. I realize freedom isn't free but leave Bill and Hill alone!!! (and Britany too lol). OH, and kiss my ass too! I find this note disturbing but I guess it could be a cadence although it is a little extreme. Phil from DC you're pretty funny. Write for Leno much? All I can say is defending our country and freedom is a good thing. Perpetuating the U.S. war monger stereotype is a bad thing. HOOAH!
brain not working at the moment:(
I think I found a note by this same writer on the 6 train! I will have to see if I can find it. It was about 9-11 and had a list of people to bless... I immediately thought of Found!
this is definitely satirical, written by a new yorker and intentionally left on the train for servicemen to find.
Kill Dr. Germ????????
You see, this is why Bush isn't allowed to write his own speeches.
Dr Germ is a nickname given to Dr. Rihab Rashid Taha al-Azawi who was an Iraqi microbiologist working for Saddam Husseins chemical weapons program. She was detained, and was the reason why Kenneth Bigley was beheaded (insurgents called for the release of women from Abu Ghraib or else they would kill him). She was eventually released though w/o charge. I find it interesting considering that the Iraq war was based on removing a WMD threat that they would release a woman charged for being part of the so called Iraqs WMD program.
whichever point of view it's coming from I think it's a very interesting note. What's more important than the note is the discussion here, there seem to be a few of us who have gotten carried away, shouldn't we all be able to talk about our opinions without jumping on each other? Isn't that what free speech is all about.
I compliment this note for how it has made the people who have seen it think.
Wow!
cute
Can we all go back to watching reality TV my brain so tired from thinking. Maybe I go to walmart to calm down.
WHAT?! So you are sad, angry, and shocked that some of us posters are sick of working our asses off and/or dying for the groups listed? Boo hoo! YES, please DO go to Canada...
We are at the top of all of their hit lists. At best they want to take advantage of us, at worst they want to kill us. The groups on the list WANT TO KILL US, PEOPLE-don't you get that?
And the person who wrote this list is "sick", and "narrow minded"??
Reading through all these comments makes me glad I don't live in the US. It must really suck.
Thata right, Aroha. It's terrible here. Hear that world, stop comong to the US! Thank you!
and to think the rest of the world hates us... I bet this person eats "Freedom Fries" all the time as well.
Do you know what really bothers me about this? Look at the writing, it's not really someone who is forming ideas of their own, it seems like this is being fed to them. YA THINK? Thank you Fox News and all the other mindless media outlets that help propagate the Bush agenda! Thank GOD for election '08!
The first thing I'd like to point out is, um, hi... this is evidence and should be turned over to somebody... somewhere.
I'm not a big "Clinton" fan, but I'm pretty sure any paper with that line written on it would like to be examined by, well, somebody that is paid to determine the validity of such things.
My own opinion is teetering.
The prose suggests something anthem-ish... such as a speech, poem, lyrics, etc... which could easily be pushed off as satirical.
However, the flag is what immediately draws my eye. (After the kill, kill, kill, ad infinitum.)
Short story: I'm an artist and I used to read G.I. Joe comics (The Baroness is hot, yo). I used to participate in the forums of the current publisher of said comic. Over the matter of a week I watched a single thread grow bigger, and bigger, and bigger. Initially I didn't read the thread because its topic was something I found extremely lame. But as the posts grew out of control curiosity set in and I began reading it. Somebody was EXTREMELY angry that in the comics, the U.S. Flags in the background were "inaccurately depicted". you see, they didn't have the correct number of stripes... stars... nor bars. Well, it turns out that A LOT of nut-jobs were EXTREMELY upset over this. As an artist, this blew my mind. Artists "depict" things, they don't draw technical schematics, k? Especially fantasy artists, which is what comic art is mostly comprised of: an abstract on realism. Anyway, it was at this point that I first learned (and have since "verified") that serious people depict serious flags.
Artists typically care about accurately portraying the shape of the flag... getting that perfect rectangle... "Patriots, ex-military, etc... etc...", on the other hand, tend to care more about what's *on* the flag.
With that said, this flag is nearly square... it's misshapen, yet the stripes are exactly as they are supposed to be. The stars, if you observe the left side of the blue, were attempted "correctly" - (5 along the border - a 6th, along the top, is offset, which would have been the first of 4 going down). At some point this person realized they weren't going to be able to accurately cram the 50 in there correctly so they washed over it.
Which makes me lean more towards the "this is legitimate and 'serious'" side of what we're seeing.
While I can't stand an "over-policed" society, The Patriot Act, and most of our Orwellian Social realities... this thing should definitely be turned in to *somebody*.
It doesn't just list groups... it lists two names. Two very prominent names. One of which happens to be a living ex-president... the other of which happens to be a living Presidential front-runner.
It's been awhile since this was posted... was it ever shown to somebody with "credentials"?
There are soooo many things wrong here (most of them already covered).
Kill Evil........Kill Terror
That just cracks me up. Sweet Irony...
Um to diapointed in disbeleif, i dont think bill and hillary and green cards are gonna come kill u any time soon. Maybe YOU need to leave the states for a bit and get a diffrent perspective
Wow. This person did the exact opposite of killing evil.......and terror.
Jeez.
Impressive...HA. this is great. u enjoy the kill the clintons hahaha i very much enjoyed this. and all this dissing of bush..get real all you young demoncrats just follow the crowd and barley can back up the reason one why you are democrats. if we werent in iraq killing them we'd all be dead...PEACE right? well you would defiently have it, with a bomb lodged in ur brain as soon as we let the terriist into the US. President Bush i do apologize for the mindeless idiots out there, mayb we should just send them to iraq to make peace....and see if they ever make it back to the USA? then if they dont ill laugh and say theres one less vote for the democratic party!!
You're all wrong. This is how a Liberal imagines a conservative thinks. <--- large L, small c. A conservative would never write that. Period. However, a Liberal would. It's called projection and I see it all the time on the internet. Just visit the most Liberal websites, Huffington Post, Daily Kos, etc. then visit the most conservative sites, Michelle Malkin, Ace of Spades, LGF, and compare writing styles. Check out the comments made to articles and judge for yourselves how people's minds work. Only liberals get this worked up. The comments here pretty much prove my point. You all imagine yourselves to be so lovely and anybody affiliated politically differently than yourselves must be completely opposite your own total loveliness. Ha ha ha ha. What a bunch of dunces. This was written by a person with a bug up their butt about the military and about conservatives in general who they imagine all military personnel to be, a person who attended Fleet Week to agitate.
Then again, I could be wrong, but I doubt it.
I don't think someone who comes up with phrases like "KILL Germ doctor" is capable of sophisticated lampooning of the type bour3 suggests. It looks to me like the sort of prose written by a brain addled with a massive overdose of testosterone and professional wrestling....and look at the writing style, heavy block letters that scream out the barely supressed rage of a troglodyte!
check out find # 2322 and #2438
that's all i can say.
Yes! I immediately thought of #2322 & #2438
when I saw the "9" in "9-11" though I was slightly disappointed that the "11" wasn't the same. Nevertheless it's just as eerie.
I think it's definitely by the same person.
I wonder if we're going to see anymore?
They've obviously cooled their jets since 2002.
++ It has the repetitive thing going just like in "Precious" with the "kill..."
Hey Bridgette in Seattle..... English and spelling much?!?!?!
