Originally posted by TrapsterClearly you've never spend the 4th in the US. Trust me, this entire week, random explosions and gunfire into the air are normal if not expected. The police have much better things to do than checking out explosions on the 4th of July. Besides, they're going to be buzy dealing with people who end up setting their properties on fire. PS: I live in the middle of the forest, over 10 miles from the nearest police presence anyway. (edited by ||bass on 07-03-06 08:53 PM)

Good. You aren't a true American unless you blow stuff up today. |

A true patriot will say fuck the rain and grill and blow shit up anyway.

Rain? Pft. I set a good 2/3 of that collection off anyway.

I actually haven't figured out how to safely launch the big rocket without blowing myself up yet. I'm still working on it. The rest of the fireworks went off perfectly. |

I'm against anything that interferes with letting buisness alone. The government's job is not to play mommy and daddy for the net. Read the wiki article on net neutraility. Most of the arguements AGAINST net neutrality are more convincing than the ones in favor. |

I really am eventually going to finish www.acmlm.org/beta/.

Once I missed the July 4 deadline I had set, I just decided I'm going to take it at a more casual pace.

Ok... this is now an international poll since doing it for just states is clearly pointless. |

Actually, in many cases like this, the US government has no choice in the matter. Congress, in many cases, obligates the executive branch to enforce US law everywhere, even outside of the US. This is in accordance with the wording of several Supreme Court decisions that state that US law applies everywhere (even on, say, Mars) and that the executive branch is required to enforce the laws.
|
Another example of this type of legislation is a law passed a few years ago by congress that states that the government MUST use any means necissary (including military force) to prevent any American from being tried by the International Criminal Court. In short, the people who are causing this issue have no choice, failure to uphold the law is a crime itself and they could be charged with deriliction of duty, and since the Supreme Court holds that US law is universal, the goverment has no choice but to make certain that these lawbreakers are prosecuted. If they didn't, they would be breaking the law here.

Yes. We do have a law that says exactally that. Take another example of the man from russia who broke the encryption on adobe e-book files. This act was done by a russian citazen while he was in russia at the time. What he did was also legal in russia.
|
He then took a vacation to the US where he was promptly arrested by the FBI and held in prison for several months until he reached an agreement with adobe. There is no choice in this matter, if the FBI did not arrest him, the refusing FBI agents would themselves be arrested and replaced with people more willing to follow the law. Laws exist to be obeyed and upheled, not ignored.
