"During the anti-Soviet jihad Bin Laden and his fighters received American and Saudi funding. Some analysts believe Bin Laden himself had security training from the CIA. "

I wish I had some mod points for you

The constitution give US citizens free speech. Corporation are not US citizens (despite what the supreme court says)

If you are immortal, and can be in multiple distant geographic locations simultaneously, you are not even human, let alone a US citizen

Considering that Al Qaeda itself was a false-flag operation (Trained and armed by the US military, supposedly to fight the Russians) which lead to a massive budget increase for military and law enforcement, I wouldn't put it past the Secret Service to copy the same trick (on a smaller scale) now that they have seen how effective the technique is.

It depends on how commonplace the event is.

A few hundred years ago, if you saw someone jump from a great height you would assume they died on impact (even if you don't see the impact).

Now you see people jumping off cliffs all the time, and you just assume the backpack they are wearing is a parachute, and they will land safely.

Once teleportation becomes somewhat common (or atleast common knowledge) people will just assume that the person they saw getting vaporized is still alive in some distant location.

That was the point I was trying to get at. The shear number and complexity of laws means that laws get broken all the time without anyone even knowing it.

The only thing that has saved us from this problem so far is that it's not (currently) possible to enforce 100% of the laws 100% of the time.

Red light cameras made it possible to achieve 100% enforcement of only a single law, and look at the mess that created.

The fact that it's possible to make a profit from catching crimes (for governments and contractors) only makes the problem worse, because it provides an incentive to make it easier for people to accidentally break the law (by shortening the yellow lights for example), in order to extract more value from their investment.

Yes, that's exactly how the police see it: If you are black, you are automatically guilty and can be shot on the spot, if you are white, you are probably innocent

I don't know about Georgia, but in some states, if the cop who pulled you over ISN'T the the same cop that actually measured you speed, (one cop on an overpass, one cop on the road, for example) and only the ticket-writing cop shows up to court, you can get the ticket thrown out as hear-say

(Because the ticket-writing cop who showed up to court up isn't the person who actually measured your speed, he can't testify how fast you were going, he can only testify how fast he was TOLD that you were going.)

Every year, the ability for law enforcement to detect crimes and enforce laws gets better, but the laws themselves don't change.
Perfect enforcement of imperfect laws is a recipe for disaster.

The Islamist terrorist groups perform attacks in order to limit free speech, and in response, these counties help the terrorists along by limiting speech even further?

Who's side are these guys on anyway?

I was making a joke too (at Sony's expense)

I doubt anyone has forgotten.

A stubbed toe can be more important than a war, when it's YOUR toe that's been stubbed.

In related news, home rental is increasing, while home ownership is decreasing, despite the fact that a mortgage is cheaper than rent.

If there was a companion video game to go along with the movie, there would be some mention of it in the leaked Sony emails.

Warm, dry, clean, well-fed, not being hunted, sex partners shipped in from all over the world....

Sounds like a luxury hotel when compared to a rainforest.
