Doesn’t seem like enough to risk what they risked.

So go fuck a tailpipe if you love cars so much.

Ahh Velour! When posh was brought to the working man in the 80’s. It made a french whorehouse out of the lowliest Caprice Classic or Delta 88.

It’s long and skinny. I haven’t been down the length myself, but (and this is only conjecture), I would imagine that if you knew when a ship was moving through and where you could probably break through a perimeter with a focussed attack and sink the thing in the canal. You wouldn’t have to hold your position to cause…

They’re going to be used to guard the newly-expanded Suez against ISIS and ISIS backed (and other miscellaneous) militias which are now engaged in open warfare frightenenly close to the trade chokepoint between Asia and Europe. These will give them the ability to saturate the area with fast-attack helicopters, and…

$7.2 billion won’t be near enough. I know it’s a preliminary number they said “for this quarter, alone” but that won’t be enough to get a handle on this.

Wow. I didn’t know that there were that many candidates. As if life needed more ambiguities.

Wait. It’s not James Taylor? I’ve always thought it was common knowledge that it was James Taylor. Is this something I need to be wondering about now?

Well, she’s not dead yet, so it’s not too late to start.

I like how you manage to attack both weed and men. Know your audience. I’ll have to say this is one of the more prudish comment-threads I’ve read in a long, long time (and Jez specializes in backhanded prudishness). You people need to loosen up. Maybe get high.

How many people have acted nuts and killed their spouse after drinking too much liquor? I’m not sure if there’s anything important or constructive in stirring up “reefer madness” paranoia. But, hey, I guess if you don’t have anything better to talk about....

Goddammit! I cut and pasted from Westlaw from a fucking supreme court opinion! That’s legal research that people normally pay me for! There is no higher authority on the matter. The fucking bill of rights is called the “Bill of Rights” and does nothing but lay out protections of individuals against the federal (and by…

The fucking Supreme Court wrote them you simpleton! I’m quoting from the U.S. friggin’ reporter! Gah! You have effectively trolled me. I have actually spent emotional energy on this. You win. You’re wrong and don’t know what you’re talking about, but fine. You win. Except you’re wrong. Gah!

I was just thinking that - There’s not much for protection there. Mobility, I guess?

So aliens do have the right to free speech, including political speech, don’t they?

The supreme court disagrees with you, they cite it exactly for that proposition. I don’t think you’re reading the case, I think you’re looking at a couple of lines of wikipedia then acting like you think you know what you’re talking about. I assure you that you don’t:

I can’t begin to unravel the knots of mistatements in your argument. It’s really depressing, but I’ll give it a shot:

Who said that anyone could break the law without reprecussion? Wouldn’t be much of a law if that was the case. The argument was about not allowing free speech to aliens - specifically deporting this person because he said “Fuck America”. The constitution protects the free speech of non-citizens, like this guy.

BTW, you’re wrong on the ‘persons’ thing, too. Slaves weren’t thought of as non-citizen persons, either. Remember the whole 3/5ths compromise? No, of course not. The Constitution doesn’t consider slavery at all one way or the other except for the 13th amendment, which abolished the institution.

Wow. Complete denial. Dude, you’re flat wrong and making things up. The bill of rights, the fourteenth amendment, and almost any provision which doesn’t explicitly provide that it applies to ‘citizens’ applies to everyone on american soil. Please see U.S. v. Verdugo-Uriquez 494 U.S. 259 (1990), if you want to learn…
