Things That Should Be Illegal

[thenammagazine]

You got me. Call the Hague. I bet they know, and if they don't I'm sure they'd be happy to make up a number for you.

OUCH!

It is pretty vague though:

...any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

— Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, Article II

This could be anything from a KKK member murdering blacks, a serial rapist targeting exclusively white women, to Chicano gang members targeting Mexican immigrant gangs.

That's not just vague. It doesn't even make sense.

Wouldn't Genocide be a sub-catagory of mass muder?

Apparently not since, based on the description, genocide doesn't necessarily have to be murder.

When it comes to smoking in bars pretty much all bars are smoke free now. I was surprised to find out last year that some bars outside city limits allow smoking. Last year l went dirtbiking on the way back to town we stopped at a Red Neck bar and all these chicks wiith big ****s and a couple missing teeth were smoking and hitting on me. l ate my burger and got the hell out of there, damn red necks.

They should ban the 'occupation' of Wall St. Or at the least, start charging those bums rent.

Though I have no problem with people protesting, that's their right, but I'm not really sure in this case what good it's going to do or what they are wanting to accomplish.


Damn hippies!

 

[devilof76]

I don't think that 'good' is what they're trying to accomplish.

I have no issue with people protesting either. I do have an issue with people thinking that wherever they walk is public property, or that they have a right to force the fact of their presence on anyone. People have just as much a right to ignore them as they have a right to express themselves. They're reaching Westboro Baptist Church heights right now, and I don't think their attitude is all that different. Replace 'corporate profit' with 'homosexuality' and I think you've got a match.

I generally don't take issue with protesting, but when they interfere with the lives and livelihood of those who have nothing to do with it, I get pissed.

 

[The Ween]

But what exactly do they want to happen?

But what exactly do they want to happen?

If it's anything but get clubbed by an angry New Yorker for causing them to be late to work, I don't know.

So far, I've heard they want a $20/hr minimum wage, immediate forgiveness of all debt, free college tuition, a maximum wage, censorship of private news organizations, elimination of profit...

Get the picture?

You forgot "interest at 14% for NRDs paid and refunded."

 

[devilof76]

I was trying to forget it.

And how do they expect to get paid $20 an hour with the elimination of profit.

 

[devilof76]

That's not their problem. It's the corporations' problem. That's what business is for: to give them high paying jobs.

They've actually said they should receive that minimum wage regardless of whether or not they have a job.
