What country you're from may or may not make a difference. So what country are you from?

Subjects like you are like an inexhaustible pallet.

I need more facts. Do you or do you not want them to come back in the future?

Dear Toolbox & Regulator: This is now the third thread this month in which you've made yourselves look thilly over this polling issue. It's kind of cute.

This is Schrodinger's Cat. This is Schrodinger's Cat after being shaved by Hanlon's Razor. Any questions?

Not me; I'd shoot a Moozlim. Sigh. OK, an evil Moozlim.

Yes; we're not discussing; we're just swapping shop-worn slogans, now.

It doesn't. In certain cases, crossing state lines to commit a crime turns it--legitimately--into a federal crime. For example, both kidnapping and violation of a protection order are generally state crimes, but can be charged federally if someone crosses state lines in committing the crime. I don't know if a similar principle would apply to any of this guy's crimes. Crossing state lines to commit a crime, as an element of a federal offense, is irrelevant to residency. Nope; the one has no bearing on the other, except possibly as a "likelihood" factual issue for a jury to decide. Oh, BTW, looks like the low-grade explosives probably used in the bombs were derived from powerful fireworks Older Brother crossed into New Hampshire to buy, and then crossed back into MA to be used in the bombs. And, of course, those acts by Older Bro are imputed to Younger Bro via Conspiracy. Ergo, Federal crime. Now stop stretching already.

Hm, somehow that seems circular to me.

Well, there is, for other purposes - but it has absolutely no bearing on criminal law generally, or this case in particular. It doesn't.

The same people who would tell women what to do with their bodies and force them to impale themselves with coat-hangers in back alleys, would make women wear burkas and shoot them in the head if they don't behave. OK, your turn.

You already got thumped in the last thread over that.

And they've already done the beta testing!

Ooh, good. Let's see who pounces on that one.

Of course it was. Take the correction gracefully and just move on.

Is this a good place to make a joke about "either way, you can suck it out with a straw, and either way, it's a pretty big gulp"? OK, no.

True dat....it's another truthful spear to throw at him. Thinly-veiled spear-chucker reference?

Well, not me particularly but yes, I concur otherwise. Matter of fact it's happening already as a result of Obammerjammer's politics: "We're going to cut your hours so that we can claim you are a part-time employee." Keeping employees at just-under full time hours, to avoid having to give them benefits, is an age-old tactic employed long before President CatDog ever hit the scene.

I'm no more or less responsible for reproach of misbehaving lawyers than you are for reproach of skydiving instructors who still teach the 45-degree rule, like the one I linked in post #41 here. Sometimes silence is complicity.

Here, you want something we'll agree on? Look at THIS.

Nonsense. The "corporate social responsibility" I discuss in post #18 means that it's wrong for First World corporations to hide behind the corruption and ineptitude of Third World governments and absolve themselves of responsibility for unsafe and inhumane conditions existing in Third World plants that produce their products, simply because those plants are (mostly) beyond the jurisdiction of First World laws and regulations. Name-calling is not discussion; it's just name-calling, poopie-head.

w00t! Gun thread in 3 posts! Wheee!

What's with the 45-degree rule? I know what it is, but what is the problem and why is it dead? The 45 degree rule does not work! And everybody should know this.
