And, I don't have anything against Snowden, except that he's a narcissistic self-righteous goober like I said. And people worship him as some kind of hero when he didn't actually reveal any info that was useful and/or not already widely known while at the same time compromising ongoing intelligence gathering. All in the service of his own ego, imho. Then he came out as a giant hypocrite by fleeing to China and Russia, not exactly known bastions of civil liberty, to save himself from facing the consequences of his own reckless and ill-considered actions, all the while giving speeches trying to paint himself as the martyr while simultaneously campaigning for asylum at some beach resort. Other than all that I'm sure he's a good guy.
The music, in this case, would likely have been life in prison, or possibly something more extreme.
I'll admit, I don't know if anything he shared about surveillance capabilities was previously unknown or not. I do remember being shocked at the breadth of the government's ability to track information.

I think that's kind of the point, that because we don't know the details, and because of the way the law is written, Zimmerman had to be acquitted, which is a shame to some/many.
Yes, according to the law, Zimmerman did not murder anyone. But... the language of the law may be the most embarrassing part of the whole story.
Wait. That date belongs in "Embarrassing chapters in HUMAN history". Sorry.
and.... go!

yes, you have so totally and thoroughly defeated me, you amazing specimen of a man. You are so brilliant and so powerful and of course we know this because you told everyone. How could I ever hope to compete? You've left me broken, humbled, and humiliated.. so invested was I in this exchange with a complete and total stranger who has never addressed me before, and so allegedly superior you are to me in intellect and machismo... how could it have possibly ended any other way? You win the Internet. Your congratulatory cookie is in the mail.
Unbelievably, you've actually managed to take a step down from pathetic, baseless juvenile insults to paper thin sarcasm. I never believed even you could be this useless.
And it's not possible to "win the Internet" retard, but it's easy to bury the most asinine person on it. As I have easily proved here. Anyway, this is beneath me. Pray you don't encounter me again as you are completely out of your depth. As Wikipedia can't help you now :D. Go back to making your pathetic quizzes for nine year olds.
So... which way exactly is this politically biased? Are you in favor of Jim Crow? Are you pro child marriage? Are you anti-science? Or are you just an idiot?
