Out of Pod Experience

That's pretty bad. It's like a municipal code in Santa Monica, CA that makes it illegal to smoke cigarettes - in your own home.

However, what really bothers me is that our media, the news outlets and those who falsely claim to be journalists are allowing themselves to be the mouth-piece of the U.S. government. They blindly repeat the government line about Snowden being guilty of treason, and that he is guilty of being a traitor - but he hasn't been tried in court, yet. All this, while conveniently forgetting what started the hoopla in the first place. The fact that the NSA has bee spying on U.S. citizens illegally. ATT, Verizon, and other communications companies have been deputized to help the NSA spy on U.S. citizens, and THAT IS NOT BEING covered in the media.

After the fact, while the illegal activity was in progress, Congress has been trying very hard to pass a law that would make NSA's activities legal. CISPA is the acronym of that new law. But on several occasions U.S. citizens told congress NO to that law and the other variations of that law, but Congress would just repackage it and try to pass it again. Why isn't that abusive behaviro in Congress being covered in the news?

That is the real story, not that Snowden, the whistle blower that revealed all of that to us, is on the run. Why is the media simply repeating what the government says, like parrots, instead of putting the government's feet to the fire and inquiring about the abuses to U.S. citizens at the hands of our government and elected officials?

And little kids in North Korea don't even get water

I don't like that they gave him the permits, and then revoked them. Maybe he can call them "landscaping" and "decorative ponds" and it'll be O.K..... Laws are stupidly written like that. Big corporations and filthy rich people are always taking advantage of loopholes in many laws, so why not give that approach a try? (answer: Because he's not filthy rich, or a big corporation with the required pull to circumvent authority).

Pretty sure the EU will implode long before the US.

All countries and societies have stupid laws, corruption, oppression to some level. While in most cases this causes public outrage about ethics and demand for better conduct, what seperates the USA is that these corporate abuses and oppressions are actually celebrated and lauded as great archivements, and the psycopaths who pull them off become some sort of folk heroes, and rather than wanting less of it people actually want more and more of it.

So did he not have planning for the puddles or is this as daft as it sounds?

At least Americans get to eat healthy and nutritious snow!

I don't know but thinking as an eve player how to take advantage of this law and make isk ....I mean money.

He should have hid it better, but I will admit being here in the eve universe with all of you scum, cheaters, and haters has really made it easier to spot the same patterns in RL and just know what is ticking behind those faces.

How does that song go...smiling faces smiling faces they don't tell the truth, from motown.

Sadly this is true.

I myself am a gun owner and I support more strict rules for owning them....to many crazies in America with them.
