Yes, you haven't watched a lot of US TV lately, have you?

Quite frankly, if the average action movie would have to come with the same kind of "action" that the average romance movie has to do with, people would run around pointing their index fingers at each other while screaming "bang bang!"

Sadly I don't have the skill to draw good cartoons. Trust me, I have enough ideas that I would have loved to do, sadly I wouldn't be able to draw anything legibly enough to piss off anyone.

Great. Install it in every politician's car.

No need for concern, right? Or... got anything to hide?

Personally, every time someone comes up with some "no need for concern" bull, I say let the politicians in charge be the first to use it. No need to be concerned about the power plant? Great, have the town council move in next to it. No need to be concerned about food? Great, put it on the menu for them. No need to be concerned about surveillance? Great, move politicians to the front row to be under scrutiny.

If it was required to be used on them first, I'm pretty sure we'd have a lot fewer things not to be concerned about.

I know, it didn't just happen in the US, and while I can't talk about the US, it certainly was outlawed in pretty much any part of Europe I know of.

Our countries don't like the idea that anyone but they themselves hands out legal tender.

Well, you have to admit the NSA can't simply bomb some civilians to breed terrorists, we can't do at home what we do in Iraq.

All it takes is that the same telemarketer calls you and Boomsday-Ali...

I can only choose between the NSA and the terrorists winning?

*shrug* I don't care, shooting or hanging... not that much of a difference, is it?

Because in all those professions you can kill people (directly or indirectly) if you screw up because you don't know jack about your profession.

Erh... yes? Who wouldn't?

No, that's from BA degrees.

Who says they don't? They might just also have the capabilities to not get caught with their fingers in the cookie jar.

with no terrorist connections?

SOME?

When you intercept millions of phone calls, I'd rather expect that the majority of them are not placed by terrorists, else terrorists have the phone habits of the average western teenager.

You have no idea how much the morale went up in 1793 after the blade came down.

A fine example of leadership with the whip instead of the incentive.

Should he ever be unable to make even as little as one payment, people are gone. You get what you give, especially when it comes to loyalty. My boss can expect me (and I'd wager pretty much everyone working there) to pull through if for whatever reason he should be unable to pay our wages for a month. Because we know that he'll do whatever he can to make sure that not only he can pay us again but we also want the company to survive.

With Zuckerberg it's probably more akin to "Ok, Marc, it's payday. You now spit out 30 Benjamins or 30 teeth, your call, but I get them damn right now".

Reminds me of that joke.

A drunk climbs in a bus and yells out "All the people on the right are MORONS. And all the people on the left are SOCIALISTS."

One guy on the left gets up and yells back "Hey! I'm no socialist!"

The drunk points to the right "Then you belong over there"
