That can all be applied to the USA. So unless you feel other nations would be within their rights to invade the US I think you need to sit down and work this out.

The timing of the invasion was wrong, the info was wrong the only thing about it was right was the target. That is DoJ style thinking and is certainly not a valid argument for the invasion being legal.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/18345423136/doj-dept-education-to-colleges-start-restricting-free-speech-campus-kiss-your-federal-funding-goodbye.shtml#c549 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:46:56 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/18345423136/doj-dept-education-to-colleges-start-restricting-free-speech-campus-kiss-your-federal-funding-goodbye.shtml#c549

They will be indebted to a system that made them worse off and I'm sure that a lot of people will be angry that they were used to subsidize the irresponsible behavior of a government that didn't help them out with high student loans and few houses.

It makes no sense... These types of conditions are sure to bring about the worst in people by prodding them with sticks until they hit back in considerable numbers.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/18345423136/doj-dept-education-to-colleges-start-restricting-free-speech-campus-kiss-your-federal-funding-goodbye.shtml#c526 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:43:48 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/18345423136/doj-dept-education-to-colleges-start-restricting-free-speech-campus-kiss-your-federal-funding-goodbye.shtml#c526 Free Speech Movement of 1964-65 - what was political censorship is now sexual censorship.

yes.

"and there's a possibility that the nuclear fuel mixture could change, and the particle accelerator could be altered to change with it?
"

yes.

"So maybe these fancy new reactors could use thorium or plutonium or uranium... and help us destroy our weapons-grade stockpiles without needed a whole new reactor design?"

yes, and yes.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/18345423136/doj-dept-education-to-colleges-start-restricting-free-speech-campus-kiss-your-federal-funding-goodbye.shtml#c523 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:43:05 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/18345423136/doj-dept-education-to-colleges-start-restricting-free-speech-campus-kiss-your-federal-funding-goodbye.shtml#c523 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/18345423136/doj-dept-education-to-colleges-start-restricting-free-speech-campus-kiss-your-federal-funding-goodbye.shtml#c499 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:40:26 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/18345423136/doj-dept-education-to-colleges-start-restricting-free-speech-campus-kiss-your-federal-funding-goodbye.shtml#c499

He was being facetious, of course, but it was evident that he was disturbed by the accusation. It hurt him that this thing he'd made that had entertained several generations of kids and adults was being used as a prop in some idiot's game. This latest iteration is the same old, same old. Let's point an accusing finger at everything and anything; anything to distract from the conversation we need to have about gun control. I wonder what this retired light colonel's stake in the fear is.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/18345423136/doj-dept-education-to-colleges-start-restricting-free-speech-campus-kiss-your-federal-funding-goodbye.shtml#c461 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:36:41 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/18345423136/doj-dept-education-to-colleges-start-restricting-free-speech-campus-kiss-your-federal-funding-goodbye.shtml#c461 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130516/18383623114/your-word-against-ours-how-fbis-no-electronic-recording-policy-rigs-game-destroys-its-credibility.shtml#c482 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:35:12 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130516/18383623114/your-word-against-ours-how-fbis-no-electronic-recording-policy-rigs-game-destroys-its-credibility.shtml#c482
now, would you mind telling *WHEN*/*WHERE* kops, persecutors (sic), or other -you know- officers of the court are ACTUALLY, ever prosecuted for 'lying' ? ? ?



(short answer: practically, relatively speaking, NO ONE, ever...)

now, tell me the times mere, puny citizens have been persecuted for mere lying of no consequence and put in the gaol ? ? ?

ALL THE FUCKING TIME...

yes, it IS lop-sided, at EVERY stage of The System; it is *MEANT* to be lop-sided, NOT as some sort of checks and balances, BUT AS A MEANS TO SUBJUGATE US 99%...

if you are poor and/or brown, The System will chew you up and shit you out, over NOTHING; if you are the annointed ones, you can loot the world's economy, commit war krimes, torture, illegally wiretap, collude, and essentially break any/all laws with impunity...

THAT is the upside-down world we live in now...

That's not the problem, vary few people are going to be that whiny five year old. The big problem comes from the college administration. They're going to be so worried about someone being offended and losing their government money (or even worse, them getting sued) that they'll go above and beyond to avoid it. If anything overheard by staff can be taken as offensive (even if you have to bang your head against the wall to do it), they'll react as if their lives were destroyed by it.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/18345423136/doj-dept-education-to-colleges-start-restricting-free-speech-campus-kiss-your-federal-funding-goodbye.shtml#c418 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:31:40 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/18345423136/doj-dept-education-to-colleges-start-restricting-free-speech-campus-kiss-your-federal-funding-goodbye.shtml#c418 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/13573923121/retired-lt-col-violent-media-has-bred-generation-killers.shtml#c539 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:29:51 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/13573923121/retired-lt-col-violent-media-has-bred-generation-killers.shtml#c539
Incorrect. For a country to lost its sovereignty in the international community, it must break all FOUR:

1. Engage in wars of aggression
2. Commit genocide
3. Harbor international terrorists/gangsters
4. Be in non-compliance with the UN WMD regulations

The US has certainly NOT violated all four of those. Iraq, on the other hand, was guilty of all four on multiple accounts each....]]>
