    Do the real estate developers live in a vacuum? Does the money put towards development just disappear?

    Actually, what happens is a bunch of construction workers get work rehabbing, or building housing, many people are able to buy houses, and the real estate developers make some money. Many people are employed by that money, as well as the housing being added into the pool causing more people to be able to afford houses. It all adds up.

    Blaming the rich for all the world's problems is pretty short sighted. The rich are the ones who create jobs for others to work.

    Now, what did I miss exactly? As that is only a reason being given for the right to keep and bear arms. Its saying "we need this" so "this shall be true". The "we need this" is just a reason, not the whole sentence as you are trying to imply.

    I was highlighting a specific portion of the sentence, the rest of the sentence does not modify that section. You could in fact drop off the first section of the sentence, and it has the exact same meaning. Unless you don't speak English.

    I am pointing out that as these people are enemy combatants, and not criminals, asking what laws they broke is disingenuous, and trying to claim to KNOW that these people have done nothing wrong when most of the information is classified says either AC is lying, or he is breaking federal law.

    If you want to fix it, protest it and elect leaders that vow to correct it. Oh wait, wasn't that one of Obama's promises? I think he said he would close Guantanamo Bay, but yet it is still open 6 years later. Interesting.

    When the text of the amendment reads as such:

    the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

    it really makes you wonder when people then try to claim it is perfectly acceptable to infringe on the rights of gun owners. How would you feel if I was campegning to take away the right of everyone to speak out against the federal government? After all, many countries today feel it is perfectly acceptable to take this right from their people, so it must be the one and only path to true enlightenment.

    Feel free to call the constitutional convention, just don't be surprised when your amendments fail.

    Perhaps if that is your feeling, you should call a constitutional convention to have the constitution amended to correct the error of our forefathers. Either that or shut the fuck up and stop trying to take other's rights away from them because you don't agree with them.

    I believe what the AC is talking about is the propaganda photos where they forget to remove the metadata from the picture where it has coordinates from the phone's GPS, thereby giving the Air Force a target for a bomb. This has happened a couple of times, and it is pretty funny when ISIS's main recruiting tactic is being used to target them for some energetic gifts.

    You have read the Top Secret intelligence on the people held in Guantanamo and assessed the cases against these enemy combatants? If you have access to the Top Secret information, I would recommend you not comment on it as it is a Felony to disclose classified information to someone who does not have the correct access to the information.

    According to Rei (who seems to have pretty valid points), in order to extradite from Sweden, UKs approval would be needed anyways, so it doesn't help anything to send him to Sweden first.

    It seems that the argument from that site amounts to that he is safer in the Ecuadorian embassy, but this totally misses the point that that isn't what is being argued, and what is being argued is that it would be easier to extradite from the UK compared to extraditing him to Sweden, then from Sweden (which requires UKs approval anyways). Why involve Sweden at all when the UK MI6 likely would just hand him over to the US without any fuss at all and no extradition hearing.

    Do you often expect captured enemy combatants to have broken laws? None of us know what laws any of them may or may not have broken, but why would breaking laws matter? They are enemy soldiers captured on the battlefield, not criminals captured by police.

    I would also point out, that the fear of extradition to the US is a little baseless, he hasn't actually broken any US laws. If the US wanted to extradite him anyways, why work through Sweden which isn't a strong ally instead of the UK which is a Five Eyes partner and nearly the US's closest ally.

    I guess you just had to bash the US, rather than understanding what is being said. Crimes are considered Felony or Misdemeanor depending on the damage done to society (etc), crimes that are classified as a felony are considered to be severe crimes which cause great harm, and are therefore punishable with jail time. Felonies also carry more punishments such as loss of certain rights (vote, own guns, some privacy).

    Taking what I said and turning it into what you said requires some significant twisting, but go ahead and continue bashing on the US, I hope it makes you feel better about wherever it is you live.
