Sneakylong The list is very long on what (good) protests have done for the country starting with the Boston Tea Party.
So right. I hardly ever pay taxes when I breathe fresh air....outside only, btw.
You cannot take a shit without paying taxes. Think about it. Unless you do it in the woods. And no one sees you.
Par4QC Where I live they turned to fees so they can remind us before elections, they lowered/did not raise taxes. Believe your example requires a fee--paid in advance. Thank you very much.
johnnydoom Agreed
Bravopilot Ahhh, yes. Big diff.....taxes vs. 'fees'. I forgot. Fees are why taxes are so low, makes perfect sense.
Sneakylong And btw, you do know what satire is, correct? 
johnnydoom Their own countries have no sanctions against the Saudi Arabia. Not sure why the golfers would, or should, be held to a higher standard than their own governments have. It's their right to protest though, and I'm sure they are being compensated in some way for it.
This exactly.
Eguller How long will it be before the 3000+ US citizens murdered, mostly by Saudi nationals
Maybe I'm just not remembering but is there ANY evidence that the Saudi state was involved in 911 and not just some of their citizens? I for one would not want to be held responsible for all the terrible things lone wolf Americans did all over the world.
And if there was proof we should have bombed the shit out of them and worrying about something as trivial as LIV wouldn't be an issue.
johnnydoom Well said

From all I can tell, not all of the investigation results into the event have been released and are classified. Currently,
it appears that 9/11 group and others are still trying to get the info released. Good luck with that.
Like other things the Saudis have done, they believe they helped fund, etc. their efforts in 9/11.
Eguller If the U.S. government is hiding incriminating evidence against a group that funded and/or organized terrorists that killed U.S. citizens, then the protesters have chosen the wrong entity to protest.

And we taught them how to fly!
garyt1957 I for one would not want to be held responsible for all the terrible things lone wolf Americans did all over the world.
And yet, a lot of times we are. I would never set foot outside the U.S. myself. I no longer gamble, esp. with my/on my life.
This states their case very well. From recently released documents, it appears the Saudis helped.
Eguller So, if you have some rogue employees that keep doing things you know absolutely nothing about, you are responsible for their actions? You gave them bonuses, and salary to spend.
What about that gal that was denied entry to the Rockettes? Maybe she was doing things 'on her own', for her company.
I'm not defending any damn foreign country, just saying things are written the way Americans want them written. Due diligence, please.
Eguller the Saudis helped
Correct...Saudis.....does not say 'Saudi gvt.' directly. If...I read it right.
Eguller This states their case very well.
The only thing that does is make me believe that the kooky conspiracy theories that the U.S. secretly organized the whole thing to gin up an excuse for wars to enrich the military industrial and government complex might possibly have had some merit.
Yup, know what satire is. Sometimes hard to decipher from nonsense. Lol
You can go outside of the U.S.. Just make sure it’s a country that is a democracy. Anyone who travels to a country that isn’t is taking a big chance.
That info came from the recently released, declassified FBI investigation, not some conspiracy theory.
Eguller It supports the conspiracy theory. Why would the U.S. Gov. suppress Saudi involvement? Saudis were asked to facilitate attack? Saudi money going to politicians? Saudis have photos of U.S. President cavorting with loose women? It certainly wouldn't be the oil. We could've sent the military in and took the oil for ourselves if we had the justification that they were funding the terrorists. Maybe I'm overlooking some other possibilities, but the first two seem to make the most sense if the incriminating evidence was available and deliberately suppressed.
