Thanks TrainNut for including the link. (I should have done it), and like you I have signed the petition, and donated as well.

This country certainly needs Ben Carson during these times of terrible decline under Obama's and his willing liberal ilk.

I fell sorry for you. You are a sick individual

Before you feel sorry for people and call them names, you may want to know I was being sarcastic...and you have trouble picking that up, huh?

So you just go around shooting your troops because you're also a highly trained medical professional who would make the judgement that even if he was suffering from PTSD that it's still your duty to shoot him instead of getting him medical treatment?

Your sarcasm does not show.

U.S. SEEKS SOFTWARE TO DETECT SARCASM ON SOCIAL MEDIA


Secret Service eyes traffic on Twitter

THE WASHINGTON POST

The Secret Service is looking to buy software that can spot sarcasm on social media.

The agency wants to buy software that, among other things, has the ability to “detect sarcasm” and language that may mean something different than it appears on first glance.

Government agencies and corporations have long used social media to try to influence the public and get their messages out, while law enforcement agencies increasingly monitor such sites for signs of trouble.

But getting a computer to detect sarcasm and its linguistic complexities can be difficult — and some experts worry at the prospect of attempts to parse speech by a government agency that has the power to arrest people for posting alleged threats online.

“It does appear that it’s going to be a pretty broad monitoring program. It will likely sweep in some First Amendment protected expression,” said Ginger Mc-Call, associate director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center.

The Secret Service request asks for a long list of specific tools, including the ability to identify influential figures on social media, analyze data streams in real time, access old Twitter data and use heat maps.

Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan said the request would allow the agency to create its own system for monitoring Twitter — both its own presence in social media and important issues that are trending on the social network. Detecting sarcasm is just a small feature of the effort, he said.

“Our objective is to automate our social media monitoring process,” Donovan said. “Twitter is what we analyze. This is real-time stream analysis. The ability to detect sarcasm and false positives is just one of 16 or 18 things we are looking at.”

Peter Eckersley, technology projects director for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, said, “There is a reason why they want to do this. There have been regular, tragically documented instances where a human being whose crime is being too funny winds up with a pile of agents pointing guns at them and arresting them because they made a joke.”

It is easy to call the prez a POS. Look at the mess he has made of this country. It is also easy to call you a pitiful, old skanky POS after your snarky replies with absolutely no substance or truth to most of your comments.
