Because it's not rape by any english language definition.

It's rape by the legal definition of the country charging him, which as far as I'm aware, is all that's necessary.

And what's this "english language definition" jingoistic crap? What does that have to do with anything? Are non-english speakers somehow incapable of deciding what the definition of rape is in their legal system?

Quotes are appropriate.

Bullshit.

The scare quotes are propaganda, designed to make people question the veracity of the accuser's claims.

Stop giving cover to that kind of nonsense.

Here in the UK, you are despised for an extradition agreement which allows you to successfully have someone sent over for prosecution who has committed no crime under UK law and never even entered the US.

So you're saying people in the UK are stupid and blame others for legislation the people THEY CHOSE TO ELECT implemented?

Taking pride from something you had no part in

Well, it's a good thing I have a part in America every single day.

So, if you are proud to be an American you are either an immigrant or a psychotic.

OR not an AC troll who is ill informed enough to make a poorly thought out post about how Americans apparently have no part in America somehow...

Seriously, did you actually think your troll made sense?

"you are the government "

No I'm not. No more than I'm the CEO of companies I own stock in.

"You can't just execute every bothersome politician. And it wouldn't do much good any way.

Wait wait wait, you actually ASKED FOR A CITATION to demonstrate that we, as citizens, can't execute every bothersome politician?

YOU ACTUALLY ASKED FOR A CITATION FOR THAT, AND EXPECT US NOT TO DISMISS YOU AS THE NUTJOB TROLL YOU OBVIOUSLY ARE?

"Without government the country is just landmass."

Full of PEOPLE, who form a SOCIETY.

" Landmass is nothing to be proud of."

PEOPLE and a SOCIETY are.

"Pride is one's country is pride in one's government"

Stupid and nonsensical, I can be proud of the PEOPLE in my COUNTRY, and their INDIVIDUAL and COLLECTIVE achievements, without supporting the government at all.

Society is NOT government. Stop your lazy thinking.

" the rest of the world really despises us"

I hate that people like you think "we" did this, I didn't have anything to do with this.

Stop giving these thugs legitimacy in your attempt to soothe your guilt over being American, they're not fulfilling any mandate from the American people and don't deserve the cover people like you give them.

" That is all that matters."

That is incorrect, the Commerce Clause was limited in this decision, specifically, the activity/inactivity distinction was recognized as valid and upheld.

"On that question, the Court held that the provision is constitutional"

That is also grossly incorrect, it is currently UN-Constitutional as written. I don't know why she decided to emphasize it that way.

"The main problem with comics on a screen (any screen) these days is that humans can focus in close on a printed page fairly easily, but readers suck at zooming and moving around a large image. So you can either see the page art then zoom in to actually read the text (repeated), or you can read panels at a time (zooming in to see, say, 1/6th of the page) and miss the full impact of the occasional full-page or two-page spread."

I really have no idea what you're talking about, I have a 22 inch monitor and I can do both of those quite nicely at the same time, no compromise required.

Whoever modded you up obviously doesn't actually read comics on a monitor, and I'm guessing neither do you.

WHICH alternative?

You realize there's more than one?

And your excuse is why the country is in this mess, voting for a known bad actor instead of a third party.

So don't vote for Romney. Vote third party. Or stop pretending you want to make things better.

"We should all just work for free"

No, THAT is exactly what the AC was saying. I have no idea why you think anything I said in any way was "exactly what the Ac was saying", can you read?

Why is it acceptable for companies to spout bullshit like "We can't find good employees," but the second a worker brings up needing to be paid a living wage, they're scorned as some entitled prick?

What does any of that have to do with the AC lie about someone claiming you should work for free?

Good for you. But clearly you've not paid attention to anything that's been said, either in the news or in this discussion.

You're right, I paid attention to reality where I got a job, and didn't sit around making excuses for why I couldn't or wouldn't on a web board.

That's difficult, mainly because companies are making it difficult.

OH MY GOD!!! GETTING A JOB IS SOOOOOO DIFFICULT!!!

I'VE TURNED INTO A RAPE-KILLER BECAUSE COMPANIES MAKE GETTING THE EXACT JOB I LIKE SOOOOOOO HARD

Nothing in the discussion, which I've paid very close attention to, in any way supports your points.

The Tea Party was supposedly "libertarian"

Nope. The left labeled them that way, which isn't nearly them same. The best you get is that some of the "Tea Party" had libertarian leanings, but so do members of every party.

You DO realize there is AN ACTUAL LIBERTARIAN PARTY don't you? Why are you asking about the Tea Party instead of the Libertarian Party?
