Yeah, but if you have to get caught, would you rather be John Hinkley or Goldfinger?
If and when I commit an assassination, I won't consider resorting to a lowly shooting. Doomsday device? Floating lump of anti-matter in the Vatican? Nuclear supermonsters? Hell, yeah!
It's about being an inspiration to the young, future, evil geniuses. You've got to give a little back, you know? You just can't put a price on that.
So focussed on America, these guys dont consider rest of the world to be world. First off 50% of the world movies are not produced in America. India makes more movies.
Singapore is the piracy capital for Tamil/Telugu movies. Dubai is the palce to go to get Bollywood movies.
Dude, have you been to Canada!? It is Bollywood: lithe, lean, sexy brown people in elaborate, flashy costumes, dancing and singing in an indescribable display of passion and emotion. Always a party, always exciting, never a dull moment and a beacon of daring!
You can keep your "rest of the world," I've got it all represented right here! White, French, English, French-English, Scandihoovian, Newfie, English -- there are even still a few Eskimo left! Oh, Canada!
It's true, and a very good point. I'm wondering if there should be allowance for motive, though. I mean, risking your life for a Nintendo should certainly score you more Darwin Award points than the same act performed in the name of science.
He didn't get labeled a sex offender for showing a Playboy. It isn't a "sex crime." A child showing porn (no matter how lame) to other children is illegal, to the extent that children smoking cigarettes is illegal in many countries. It's the "lesser charge" to which he made a plea down.
Australia has some pretty ridiculous laws against porn -- which is why so many Australian porn sites moved *to* USAmerica to beat the censorship laws imposed ~2000.
All the white world has its share of backwood, podunk conservatives, and I'm always amazed people from Oz can knock the US with a straight face. Knock American politics all you want (I do) but since when is Australia the beacon of liberal, progressive thought and intellectualism? Your Prime Minister has been Bush's faithful cheerleader through every, mucky step of the Iraq war, and can't seem to get enough of Moral Values invading policy.
1. What hardware store have you been going to? I've been looking everywhere for fissionable materials and my crappy Home Depot is all, "we just ran out, but try the pharmacy next door." And then the pharmacy's all like, "Radioactive isotopes of heavy elements? Have you tried the hardware store?"
2. What community do you live in? I'd like to move there. I'm surrounded by absolute morons who can't even build a *simple* nuclear reactor, let alone a *massive* one. I'm delighted to know there exists a place where anyone can build the weapons to which entire nations don't have access.
3. Hot fusion still isn't working for us, let alone cold fusion. But, either way, cold fusion is not used in nukes.
4. The CIA and the U.S. government have never, ever, ever, stood in the way of researches trying to find new and creative ways to kill lots of people. Quite the opposite: military research is usually the last to have its budget cut.
I'm also wondering why, in climates favorable to soy and other complete protein vegetation, they aren't just moving toward a more-efficient form of agriculture. Importing giant, meaty animals seems like a wrong way of doing things, particularly in a place where meat is seen as a luxury.
General Motors, for example, and while they may be inefficient, they do not leave millions of their own starving to death or subject to a high likelihood of torture or death. Equating the two is beyond wrong, it's flat out irresponsible.
Right. Because of decentralization...if GM tortured people, or merely left them to starve, people would go work somewhere else. (Like, for example, because of massive lay-offs for which massive bureaucracies are infamous.) Because they're only one of many corporations, rather than the sole, centralized authority.
Or are you arguing that if GM were the government, they wouldn't leave people out in the cold? Or that North Koreans should just use their other government? What the hell is your point? Did you read the post you're responding to, or just use it as a launchpad to offer your opinions? Stating that the results are different doesn't mean the initial conditions aren't similar. It only reinforces the original point, in this case.
Finally, please don't use attending an "open to the public" city council meeting as a credit to your "expertise". Or at least, if that's the extent of your credentials, don't be such a pompous, arrogant, condescending jerk to other/. posters. Humility is a sign of confidence. Having the tone of a self-important and intolerant ass is a sign of uncertainty.

Now if someone could just explain why Rush concert tshirts always shrink.

I can't tell if you're kidding or not...
