What kind of drivel are you spouting? It's not like you know anything about history. 250 years ago the'd have hung the bastard for sure. No one likes a traitor who runs off to another country to spread animosity for his homeland. If he'd gone to the Times or something I'd call him a whistleblower. Going to China and then Putin? We need to hang his sorry ass.

The fourth amendment covers "unreasonable" search and seizure. What's reasonable is decided by the courts, not traitors like Snowden.

I spent 3 years in Germany from 85-88. Great beer and I drank many different varieties. I've had Czech beer also, in fact the best beer I ever had was from the Czech Republic. I mostly drank a german beer called Muenster Brau or some such. I used to get a case or so delivered to my door every week where I lived near Mainz. It came in a brown heavy bottle with a white flip top. The wines there were off the chain as well. I enjoyed many a winefest. Man I enjoyed those 3 years, I highly recommend Germany to anyone. Lots of history and really nice people. Clean and beautiful and some great food. So you see I speak from experience.

Fuck him. He's a traitor and I hope they bring his ass home and hang him.

Piss is a step up from Budwieser.

I imagine they at least run it through a filter before it hits the pipes.

I damn sure don't want any piss in my facets. That's even worse than piss coming through my faucets.

Does Portland even have conservatives? Surely not in Portland anyway.

Well water in my area is awesome. Some places I've been it had a nasty taste to it but it really depends on the area.

Imagine what they'd have thought of a chemistry set from the 50's! Oh man, they'd shit bricks.

This is one of the more insightful and reasoned comments I've read on /. in a long while. Sadly I have no mod points.

I always thought Windows OS was their favorite vulnerability?

Only 114 dead. Compared to a falling skyscraper it's nothing. Bad but not bad enough to generate the hysteria neccessary for a lynching.

You ignore the fact that he can be held criminally liable. Let a skyscraper fall and you're talking casualties in the 5 digit range. There is no way to stop that avalanche of outrage. In fact, I'd be surprised if the engineer didn't have to be taken into protective custody for his own safety. The people responsible for building safety will catch hell too. Catastrophic destruction gets catastrophic response.

I tried explaing to one of my coworkers in that same situation how he was working for less than minimum wage. We sat down, figured up what it cost him to go to work in gas and such and other expenses and he was basically working for about 4 dollars an hour. He retired a month later. Turns out we didn't figure it right, his taxes dropped a lot and he ended up only losing about 150 dollars a month. He had a craft business going on the side and he started doing that real heavy and now makes about twice what he did when he worked with me and he banks his retirement check.
