The average citizen unknowingly commits three felonies a day you say?

Normally I'd say [citation needed] but I did once when someone (probably the same goober) made that assertion and he pointed to a web page of people who were arrested for such things as importing stuff without paying duties, importing illegal shit like ivory, etc. NOT anything the average American could be charged with, and all of them laws that make sense (like ivory).

So instead I'll just say, what three felonies could I have committed today? Jaywalking and spitting on the sidewalk don't count, they're not even misdemeanors, let alone felonies.

William Shatner is Canadian, but James T. Kirk is from Iowa. Sheesh, you never watched any Star Trek movies? Besides, Captain James Kirk is now captain of the USS Zumwalt, a navy destroyer that has a cloaking device! TFA: "When its begins missions, the Zumwalt will be the largest stealth ship in the Navy."

Two words, Philadelphia Experiment.

The story is thought to be a hoax.[1][2][3] The U.S. Navy maintains that no such experiment was ever conducted, and details of the story contradict well-established facts about the Eldridge itself, as well as commonly accepted physics.[4]

You can't scatter one beam of light with another one!

No, but you can cancel light out with more light. And this does make an object invisible, if tuned to the wavelength you want it to be invisible in.

The trouble is, you could tune it to work in visible light but only if that light were coherent (as in, comes out of a laser). You can't get incoherent light out of phase with itself because it's a wide range of frequencies and all completely incoherent, like snow on an analog TV.

Kudos for not selling out to Facebook! That took a lot of balls to walk away, leaving all that money on the table.

Balls? More like stupidity. It isn't like he refused because he realized his gizmo was evil, he refused because more money than anyone could ever spend in a lifetime thinking he could get even more. I hope he goes broke, the greedy little fuckwit.

Im thinking the death toll has more to do with the quality of healthcare in Saudi Arabia than to the severity of the disese.

The Saudis have single-payer health care and are a rich country, so I seriously doubt that's the case.

Indeed, three BILLION dollars and he turned it down?? How fucking greedy can a human (and I use that term loosely) get? Jesus, I'd have taken the three billion, sent 2/3rds to help those poor fuckers in the Philippines and still had enough cash for me and everyone I know to live in luxury the rest of our lives.

I hope the stupid kid goes broke.

It's important to that chapter, and I'm still waiting to break even on the one I just published. 24 words? I won't publish. TPB has it if anyone wants to read it.

You mean like sane nations like Canada and the European and UK country have? This is America, that's crazy talk!

We LIKE our lowered life expectancy, high infant mortality, and (YAY 'MERICA) the HIGHEST COST! If it ain't expensive it ain't shit, right? Screw them damned liberals! Oh, and Obama suxxorz. YEE HAW!!!

Ah, I hadn't noticed that he'd tried to make a Latin plural. My bad.

24 words out of 50,000 is worth 5%? You suck at math.

My congressman surprised the hell out of me. I registered as a Republican last primary just so I could vote against him twice if I needed to, he's a tea party nutball and part of the faction that shut the government down. Anti-environment, anti-union, anti-WORKER, vehemently against any health care reform, the whole nine yards. His campaign consisted solely of attack ads.

He surprised me; the TV news today said he introduced a bill in the house that actually makes sense and what's more bails Obama out of the "pants on fire" mess. It would grandfather in everyone who has insurance for a year or two. The news crew spoke to a local small business whose employee insurance will go up from $1900 a month to $4600. Nobody in that shop was happy with Obama...
