| #4zombie_babiesMay 18, 2011 9:40:10 | Move along, no corruption to see here. |
| #5calronmoonflowerMay 19, 2011 0:44:33 | Move along, no corruption to see here. No kidding, I added this update to the OP. [update] |
| #6lokiareMay 19, 2011 15:39:35 | I'm trying to decide if I want to move to Canada or Mexico (where I could live like a king after selling my TV and other electronics), cuz the U.S. ain't free anymore... |

That is the single most ignorant statement I have seen all day, but to be fair I haven't been out of bed very long. |
| #8EscefMay 19, 2011 17:28:36 | The article's title is somewhat misleading. It's only 20% of the ones approved for the month of April. It is not 20% of the grand total. As for information about denied and pending applications, it would be nice to at least know quantity. |

I'm sorry, I'm thinking 1990's economics. The dollar is much closer to the peso now... I'd be middle class... Just so you know police can enter your homes and arrest you with absolutely no due process. The government can assassinate you without any due process. They can detain you indefinitely and torture you (in a different country) by simply labeling you a terrorist. What part is free. Personally I'm waiting for them to start rigging the voting by arresting people on voting day and then going "Oops, my bad" and letting them go afterward... |
| #10toastedamphibianMay 20, 2011 3:24:58 | Yep. You know who else can do thoes things? Me. And your neighbor. And your mum. |
| #11lokiareMay 20, 2011 8:28:48 | Yep. You know who else can do thoes things? Me. And your neighbor. And your mum. Yeah, except you'd be breaking laws wheras they would only be violating the constitution and bill of rights, but not the laws... |
| #12zombie_babiesMay 20, 2011 8:39:33 | I don't think whether or not laws were broken matters so much after your skull is broken. To you, anyway. |
| #13lokiareMay 20, 2011 10:59:44 | I don't think whether or not laws were broken matters so much after your skull is broken. To you, anyway. The problem with suing them afterwards is that you can't do it. In order to sue the police or other government agency you have to get permission from the sate or federal government. This will never happen because the laws say they can do this. You would have to get it past all of this in order to get it into a federal supreme court where you could actually address the un-constitutionality of it... Really the baseball bat is your only recourse... |
| #14TimmehMay 20, 2011 11:06:31 | Lokaire, just so you're aware, the "Off-Topic Tavern" is meant to be discussing non-D&D things; not a forum where the goal is to get really off topic. On that note, Look! Jews! |

I couldn't tell that the goal was not to get really off topic...its hard to tell with the kinds of posts that go on around here... |

Really the baseball bat is your only recourse... Er, the point, I think, was that it doesn't matter where you go or what rules are in place there, there will always be someone that may violate them. Changing location doesn't change realities - or something. So, if you're dead it doesn't matter much - to you - whether or not you were made that way in a legal fashion. Lokaire, just so you're aware, the "Off-Topic Tavern" is meant to be discussing non-D&D things; not a forum where the goal is to get really off topic. To be fair, it happens all the time. Everybody's doin' it, man! ![]() |
