Comment White collar or common thug? (Score 2, Funny) 143

I think the US government is genuinely confused. They aren't sure if these guys are more like Wall-Streeters that committed fraud on a massive scale thereby enriching themselves with billions, or common thugs who rob banks with guns. If it's the former, they're safe: too big to jail and one of the boys. If it's the latter, well, here comes pound-me-in-the-ass prison for life.

If only they would have made it simpler by either stealing a lot more, or a lot less.

Extensive surveillance is not just great for catching terrorists, but finding out who is a conservative and what they are doing you can use the keep them quiet.

Tell me, SuperKendall, why in the fuck would Obama want to keep conservatives quiet? Obama is more conservative than Reagan.

Really, it's not that complicated. Follow the money.

If you think about it a seven-foot rise in water is not very reasonable to predict - it has to come from somewhere and there is just not that much water locked up in ice anymore.

Really?! Are you even fucking trying anymore?

If all land ice melted, sea level would rise approximately 70 meters (230 feet) worldwide.

It will be the "Liberty" and "Justice" lanes.

Actually, this makes a lot of sense. The 'Liberty' lane will be for those with money because they have the liberty to do whatever they want, and the 'Justice' lane will be for "just us" fucking wage-slave morons who keep voting for them like they're our favorite team.

Overuse and over extension of resources, a desire to explore and 'conquer'...

You had better hope that aliens that show up here don't want to conquer us, because if they can travel interstellar distances with something resembling an invasion force... well, let's just say they aren't going to forget their raincoats.
I doubt anyone would know what was happening before they were dead.

I'll believe it's a problem when the people who are telling me it's a problem start acting like it's a problem. When the logistics problems go from caviar to videoconferencing bandwidth. When the President decides that golfing locally is a better idea than flying somewhere.

Your logic sucks ass. This is like saying that because there are rich people of power having feasts, there must be no starving people in the world. It's a non sequitur.

You're asking me to change my life and not accepting any changes in the way you live yours. Hypocrisy at its finest.

With a UID that low, I figure you've been around a bit. I'm actually fucking shocked that you haven't figured out yet that politicians are made of hypocrisy.

Would you want your highway/city traffic information management operated by competing corporations?

Would you want your city and state police run by competing corporations?

If you talk to many conservatives (at least the ones that comment on stories like this), this is exactly what they want. It fucking baffles me.

They want to privatize garbage collection, water, sewer, fire departments, police services, prisons, roads, etc., etc. ad fucking naseum. They want to have competing corporations vie to put out your house fire, remove your shit, etc.

House fire?! We got you covered. Just go to myfuckinghouseisonfire.com to shop and compare fire fighting rates, response times, and customer ratings.
