Re: Texas Woman Jailed for Overdue Library Books

Have you worked in retail, Norade? Most places press charges because they want to make an example of each and every single shoplifter. They don't have to worry about the cost since the state is the one prosecuting. They hand over the security camera footage, maybe get some sworn statements from the...

Re: Saudi party full of sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll

Ajnabi is foreigner in Saudi/MSA (transliterating Arabic isn't fun), but they do have like 6 words for everything that include slight nuance, and dialects just make me want to cry.

Re: Movies that didn't suck, even you thought they would

The Town was a pretty good movie, though I'll never watch it again for being tied to a really bad memory, but on its own, it was fairly good.

Re: NHL 2010-2011 Season

Using the Campbell hit proves my point. Thanks. Yes, because getting a misconduct and tossed from a game confirms your belief that he's a clean player. :wanker: Because it was a mostly clean hit(it was a little bit from behind, but Campbell turned his back to the hit which is irresponsible and stup...

Re: NHL 2010-2011 Season

You REALLY have no idea what you're talking about. Ovechkin is about as clean as it gets. He plays physically and aggressively, or used to until the NHL went after him last year for being Russian, which leads to hits that sometimes have unfortunate effects. The guy NEVER takes cheapshots with his st...

Even if Oregon loses I consider them the national champion.

Based on the fact that there's been threads to that effect when the Russians were accused of assassinating someone and when the Chinese were accused of hacking, and the general response to the worm in Iran's nuclear site.

Apologies, I meant on foreign soil. I thought by saying that if the servers aren't US based I was making that distinction already. If the servers are not US-based the USA has no legal right to interfere except in the most strenous of circumstances. True, but this is one of those things that every g...

Re: US diplomatic cables released

As far as I know the constitution is for US citizens, not a guide on how to deal with foreign ones. I have heard this reasoning several times now and I'm curious, wouldn't that mean that any tourist coming to the US would have no protection under the law and could be abused at will? FYI, it's spell...

Re: Frago 242 - order condoning war crimes

If you turn people over to forces who are known to kill or torture prisoners, that is a war crime. If you do not act on trustworthy sources (which seeing it with your own eyes count), you are guilty of a war crime. If you offcially put in place policies whose aim it is to stop the investigations of...

If this site isn't a US based one run by US citizens, how exactly would it be protected under free speech anyways? As far as I know the constitution is for US citizens, not a guide on how to deal with foreign ones.

How exactly are they war criminals? The Iraqis are their own seperate chain of command, are in their own country and have their own laws. Knowing about it and not stopping it is not a good thing, but it doesn't make them war criminals, especially if it was reported to someone higher in the Iraqi cha...

As covered it's not warrant for his arrest for rape but just to bring him in for questioning. Assange is needless to say highly hesitant to turn himself over with major US politico's calling for his death and under the belief if he does surrender himself to questioning he will be arrested and extra...

Re: Black Firday: Lessons Learned, Dangers Still Present.

I honestly don't get the root of the problem to begin with, how do these people whip themselves into such a frenzy over saving a little money? And in the grand scheme of things it is very little money. I just don't get it.
