Given the existence of the euro for a bunch of those countries, while their "national currency" is fiat money the national government can't just print it on a whim.
Because clearly you have a better understanding of the ins and outs of the the constitutional grants of government power than a mere US District Judge.
If you can use a credit card to buy them then clearly someone else on the other end of that deal getting something they can buy groceries with.
It's just currency, it is inherently worthless just like all the other currencies we use today. If other people accept it in exchange for goods and services than it has a value, if they don't then it is worthless - just like other currencies.
Of course government backed currencies have the rather large benefit that the government forces their use (requiring taxes to paid in them, requiring local merchants to accept them). They have the downside that the government tends to print them faster than botnet operators manage.
Either you can't read, or you actually think that because Madoff stole billion of dollars it's OK if I just steak a few thousand from each of my neighbors.
Jury nullification was a reasonably big factor in ending prohibition. Jury nullification was used to not send escaped slaves back to their "owners". And, yes, it was also used by all-white juries to set free white people who were charged with killing black people (though jury selection should fix that particular problem).
It's a fundamental part of the concept that the power of the Government comes from the people and that the Government can't just do whatever it wants.
The bottle of milk in front of me (that was bought in a typical american supermarket) says, in the second largest letters on the label, and at the top of the label (their capitalization):
From Cows NOT Treated With ARTIFICIAL GROWTH HORMONES*
And then in the tinyest print on the label and at the very bottom:
*No significant difference has been shown between milk derived from rBST treated and non-rBST ttreated cows
Bought from the local supermarket in a typical American suburb.
Too bad people can't see this for what it is: a foreign national releasing illegally-obtained classified information in a coordinated effort to deliberately try to influence public opinion and US policy.
Other than your claim that Assange obtained the documents illegally, which I just showed to be a complete lie, that description applies equally well to Rupert Murdoch, but I don't see you calling for his arrest.
Well, except for that little minor detail that Murdoch isn't a foreign national.
Everything is a gamble. Gate could have written a billion dollar check to the Red Cross and seen it all embezzled away the next week.
That BP article is funny, oh dear they lost 1% of the paper value of their share portfolio in a few months (in a period of time at which multiple percent daily swings are common place). Also note that 6 months later and a third of that has come back already.
The DOW is essentially the same as it was 10 years ago, so the capital hasn't changed over that ten year period even with a "market crash". All the while paying out dividends.
And you're a moron is you think they counted it as "in the bag". They made their estimates and the numbers came in lower, so oh dear in a time when the Federal Reserve is trying to stave of deflation they could only increase their payouts by 10%.
And I'm sure some even consider working to keep their family and friends and countrymen a little safer from being overrun and losing all their freedoms a noble and worthwhile cause.

Of course it's a special kind of stupid that cares about following the letter that closely.
The treatment of immigrants has little to do with the left/right dynamic.
And those cuts in social benefits in European countries will still leave them with social benefits of the charts by US metrics.

Your about 3 orders of magnitude off. The solar wind is composed of charged particles, not photons.
I didn't lose, because I really couldn't care either way.
I don't have auto insurance, and yet I'm not in jail and I haven't paid a fine and they aren't docking me on my taxes.
So your entire premise is false. Before we even notice that "the government" is two completely separate entities you are pretending are the same.
Because clearly you have a better understanding of the ins and outs of the the constitutional grants of government power than a mere US District Judge.
Which is why the homes in Los Angeles and New York City have 1GB fiber to them, right?

Interac in Canada.
EFTPOS in Australia.
EFTPOS in New Zealand.
Dankort in Denmark.
Plus dozens of others you can find with google. Actually what country doesn't have a system that doesn't rely on America?
Your an idiot.
Either you can't read, or you actually think that because Madoff stole billion of dollars it's OK if I just steak a few thousand from each of my neighbors.
I'm not sure which is worse.
Sure if you ignore the meaning of "battery".
You believe what you read in a slashdot summary???
No the claim was "Heck, try marketing milk that is rGBH free" and behold the milk I buy is marketed exactly as that.
Jury nullification was a reasonably big factor in ending prohibition. Jury nullification was used to not send escaped slaves back to their "owners". And, yes, it was also used by all-white juries to set free white people who were charged with killing black people (though jury selection should fix that particular problem).

And the universe revolves around you too.
Who cares. Didn't stop them making the claim that the post I replied to said wasn't allowed at all.
Requiring crackpots to put "* out claims that eating out product cures cancer and AIDS are lies and not approved by the FDA" isn't all bad.
And yes the FDA isn't perfect and there are likely many cases in which they disallow stuff that isn't bad for you and allow stuff that is.

So you are full of shit.
Maybe you should try parsing that again.

How is oppresive tyranny worse? I assume you have some metrics to justify the claim?

And minus having a lunatic deciding dropping a nuke on you would be a good first move.

He was the first President after Bush. Which is apparently good enough.
