    No, they don't.

    In no way can a 9 year old 'own' or 'have' a software company. Mom or dad might, but a 9 year old can't. There are these things called laws, and contracts ... and no legal system on the planet lets 9 year olds sign the contracts required to 'have a software company'

    Really? I've done it plenty of times. I've seen plenty of women do it. And vagina jokes, and sex jokes, and all kinds of stuff.

    Adult behavior includes not having your head so far up your ultra liberal ass as to not realize your tastes and preferences do not represent the entire world.

    Get over yourself. A joke is a joke. If it bothers you that much, sounds like something is wrong with you, not them. Get some therapy or life is going to be a real bitch.

    I don't know which one is ACTUALLY more expensive, but thats irrelevant, what matters is trendiness and perception.

    Being a member of the press doesn't actually grant you magical get out jail cards, and never has. This has nothing to do with the first amendment, and the first amendment doesn't give you a right to silence.

    Unless you are on trial, you can not be incriminated by your own testimony at someone else's trial. You can not plead the 5th unless you are on trial yourself.

    If your testimony makes it clear you are guilty, there will be another trial, at which, you can plead the 5th.

    Its not about giving people an easy way out of getting caught for their crimes, which is what you seem to think it is. Its about not trumping up additional charges and making it worse for someone who would lie under oath anyway.

    They are always bound by the UCMJ first, which in the US means you're also bound by US laws unless overridden by certain situations (9/11/2001 as an example of where the military was allowed to break US laws in order to operate as needed in defense of the country ...i.e. breaking the sound barrier and such). Out side of the US you are bound by the UCMJ first, US laws second (by order of the UCMJ) and local laws last, unless during a military operation, then the rules of the action may override local laws (such as killing your enemy).

    Unless told by your commanders beforehand, you honor the laws in that order. Meaning that while it might be legal to have sex with 12 year old in Thailand, its still illegal for a US soldier to do so.

    Because slashdot is such an important part of the world to bother with them trolling it? Seriously?

    I'm sorry, but any down voting is just that, normal '-1 disagree' on slashdot from someone who ... disagrees. Go figure.

    Slashdot, while popular among a limited selection of minor geeks, is hardly important in the grand scheme of things. Very few high level geeks have anything to do with slashdot, its mostly people wanting to pretend they are more than they are so the vote swings are nothing more than your typical 'I agree/I disagree' crap.

    You of course inject some silly statement and everyones drooling to bitch about the NSA and you get voted up ... then down ... oh look, same thing.

    Instead of disrupting shit, why don't we just fix it?

    If people ACTUALLY cared, and I don't just mean you and I, 'the people' of this country ... if they actually cared, fixing this problem is literally only 4 years away, and you can do a MASSIVE amount of change in only 2 years.

    First off, stop voting for the president. He is REALLY NOT IMPORTANT. He isn't. The American ignorance of how our government works and too much red vs blue and only listening to campaign speeches and what the 'liberals' or 'conservatives' do is the problem.

    We can fix these issues by voting people OUT of congress. Destroy lifetime politicians for a start. Stop allowing congress to judge other congressmen when crimes are committed. Do we let the prisoners of Shawshank judge the prisoners of Shawshank ... everyone is innocent in here, remember? Sure, there was one innocent guy, and one guilty guy who admitted it, but the system as a whole is not fit to judge itself.

    OUR JOB is to judge these bastards and put them in their places.

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not try to disrupt the government first. First we put some actual effort into fixing it.

    Unless someone shows me wide scale voting fraud (and I don't mean the silly bullshit like Bush had, that was crap to distract us from reality), then the way we fix our country is by using our country to fix itself.

    When we vote out every member of congress, and they don't go or have a coup ... THEN we disrupt the government in every possible way.

    We're not there yet. People won't even pay attention to who they vote for, theres no way they are going to do anything effective against this crap. Too much apathy.

    PLEASE VOTE! And don't for the Bloods or the Crips, I'm sorry, Republicans or Democrats (funny they share colors, don'tcha think?).

    Vote for people who you have bothered to look into their background. No normal US citizen should EVER cast a vote for EVERY position on the ballot. You don't have enough time in your life to be qualified to know enough to effectively vote on all those positions. Look at the histories of the people you're voting on. Look at their record in congress on issues you care about. If you don't know about a position DON'T VOTE ON IT.

    VOTE WITH YOUR HEAD AND KNOWLEDGE ... don't vote for 'CHANGE!' and retarded campaign slogans. Don't vote based on skin color. Crusty old black men, hispanics and whites are ALL THE SAME when they get to congress. So are the crusty old women. As the saying goes, we're ALL warm and pink on the inside (yes, I know thats not what the term is normally applied to, but it certainly fits)

    I vote for people I've looked into. My last ballot had votes for democrats, republicans and the less parties and even a couple local independents (who won!). PLEASE consider doing the same before we insight the beginnings of the revolution. We're not there, YET.

    Remember:

    Boxes in the defense of liberty: Soap box, ballot box, ammo box. In that order. We're at #2 right now.

In theory anyone, obviously, in practice we're fucked until we get rid of congress and the supreme court and replace them with people who are actually afraid of the public and the consequences of their actions coming back to haunt them.
