Is it a trick of the field of view, or is she incredibly thin?

I rolled my eyes so hard they got stuck.

Some of us want a World Court with new laws covering the protection of the environment and its people. Some of us want people charged with corruption, conspiracy and deliberately misleading the public. Some of us think that those who knowingly endanger all of us for their own gain should face the death sentence if found guilty. Some of us may not get what we want, but the alternatives are very dark indeed. Those who make their living through manipulation and lies should bare this in mind.

It wasn't that, it was that you believed the bullshit put out about what the person stood for. I was able to scratch that of my negatives list as facetious with basic research. Is it because you are not in this country you don't care about the accuracy of your facts? Sadly, people voting don't care about the accuracy of what they are voting on...

I didn't roll my eyes because of the statement, I rolled them because you believed it. It's like being told someone voted yey for kicking puppies because of a relaxing of animal safety regulations buried on page 500 of a 'must pass' bill between 300 other unrelated things. If you hear something bad about a politician, its probably wrong. You just let your heartstrings get pulled by exaggeration and lies.

(Many better articles, this was just the first that popped up for it in Google.)

Now, if the government doesn't like you, they can just taken your assets. They do not need to convict you are even try you of anything, nor do you have any recourse. Instead of being detained for being against the government like in authoritarian regimes, they can just make you an unimportant homeless man/woman.

The article didn't say what she stood for, it implied that she may be either and anarchist or an environmentalist. I don't know which is true and it doesn't really matter. She has been imprisoned for refusing to incriminate other people, if there was any real evidence of their guilt, this would not be necessary. It is a perversion of justice and a blatant misuse of anti-terror laws against Americans. Feel free to link to less biased articles.
As for Mitt, his bullshit came from his own mouth, he's going to burn "clean coal" to power America...Love to see some links describing in detail this technology because as far as I know it simply does not exist. Even if it did it would probably need to use more power than it generated to convert the co2 back into something very much like coal again. Mitt is going to burn dirty coal.

That would be a trick of the FOV, then.

Maybe a bit. But still skinny.

I feel for all the young people getting all tatted up. I'm not sure if they realize what they will look like in 20 years. Luckily by then, there may be tech to more easily remove the blurry patches.

[MrTwosheds]

She will probably get a few more while being banged up for having a political opinion and principles, another mistake the young tend to make.

I have no opinion on this. Just laying it here because it's silly.

You can always put something over it .. and make it bigger and darker ...

It's delicious to see the professional trolls outed.

Here's another sweet morsel.
