I'm sorry if you thought that it was childish. I think that the Team America World Police view of international laws and policies that you expressed bordered on insipid.

Sure, the USA/Israeli semi-religious, hemi-apocalyptic, demi-political, mutually sycophantic, sociopathy enabling relationship; and tacit acceptance of antagonism towards the Palestine and it's people does complicate the issue. But, it only does so insomuch as Israel might send in the Mossad, crack some skulls, and the US will say "You did a bad thing, Izzy. Here is another few billion dollars not to do it again."

But there you go expecting the Palestinians to extradite someone who is apparently bright and more over, reasonably minded to a country that gives 9x the annual aid to their unfriendly, oppressive neighbor. Seems that you are not understanding the realities of international justice and the treaties governing enforcement of international laws.

So, American laws now apply to foreign nationals who are not in America? That's awesome! U-S-A! U-S-A! Unless of course he's a foreign national outside the legal borders of America and therefore not subject to American laws. ...one of the two...

The Affordable Care Act, if it does end up being an unaffordable quagmire, is only in that state because it was done while trying to not hurt the for-profit medical insurance industry. We would have been better off with the single payer system kind of like the ones successfully used in every other functional first world country. The way we run our country is ludicrous. Everyone knows the rules, everyone agrees to fair play, then everyone cheats a little so no one actually gets ahead. That is until someone cheats a lot, and gets ahead... then everyone cheats a lot... and back to square one. We like to pretend that getting nickled and dimed is somehow more honorable than just paying the full value for the things which we need. This is only made possible when we fail to see the non-financial and practical value of our free time.

No no no no no, the ultra rich know that the less you give the working poor the more desperate they become. Desperate people work to survive, the brain in survival mode is not concerned with ethics, morals, or rebellion. The brain in survival mode is concerned with food, shelter and some semblance of homeostasis. The trick is to create just enough desperation within the working poor that a certain percentage are driven to criminal activity and the rest live in fear. And those remaining fearful workers will labor themselves to death in a futile attempt to escape the crime ridden ghettos in which they live.

I jumped on with Apple Retail in early 2008. As it stands, Apple Retail has one of the better compensation packages for both fulltime and parttime employees. Medical/Dental/Vision, Stock Options, Paid Vacation, Etc. Before Steve Jobs left the company for the last time, he mandated that EVERY Apple Employee be eligible for Health Insurance. More recently, Tim Cook re-adjusted all of the pay compensations nationwide to be more in line with the higher paying/higher cost of living regions (NYC/LA/SF). That said, employees were discouraged from bringing bags into work. However, when bag checks were nessesary the managers at my store would do them WHILE you were clocking out. But that may vary store by store, as a result of this suit though, I imagine that Retail Chain Management will mandate that bag checks be done before or at clock-out, not after. So, benefits, awesome. Pay, not bad. Stock options, yes. BTW, the managers check each other's bags.

It's over 9000!!
