I'm waiting. I'm waiting for some criminal to make an argument or a legal defense claiming he/she (may also apply to a corporation) can't be charged with a crime because their lawyer told them it was (technically) legal. They'll call it the Bush Doctrine Defense. After-all there hasn't been any SCOTUS decision separating it out and saying it only applies to the US government, just this one time and only for this special circumstance.
I'd like for the many many attorneys on this site to tackle this one. How would it look if someone really wanted to use this type of argument to cover their ass when they want to do something they know should be illegal, but they get their lawyers to construct a method to "make it legal".
Maybe we don't have to wait for it to happen in real life. We have creative minds here. Some associated with ongoing television shows. Maybe they could make it a major part of one of their shows with maybe a multi-episode or a cross episode using two or more shows to get the point across.
But what the hell do I know. IANAL and I sure as hell am not a writer or producer of a television show. I don't know how this stuff works. I just know we need the American people to GET IT!
I don't know. It's just an idea that's been mulling around in my head for awhile. Let's let the legal minds have at it.
On with the games!!
Mojo Friday Guidelines
Disclaimer; Kinda like the Pirates Code, they're just guidelines, meant for fun. They aren't hard and fast rules.
1) If you comment you have to recommend all comments. (in order to receive mojo you have to give mojo. It's only good mojo manners.)
2) Everything you say may be taken as a joke (so if you ask a question, expect a silly answer)
3) You must recommend the diary (and pimp it unapologetically)
4) You don't have to comment to recommend.
5) You can't steal my idea (right, like that ain't goin' to happen. It has in numerous forms, I'm flattered!)
6) Mojo mojo mojo mojo, mojo mojo mojo.
7) TexDem (that's me) is not bound by the guidelines. Neither are you
Mojo Friday Goals
Disclaimer; These are mostly here for nostalgia, the site has changed so much and the servers have been upgraded to the point I don't think we could fuck with the site with 1000 people participating. 2007 it ain't.
A. At least 300 different commenters and 1000 comments by 1:30 PM EST and 1500 by 5:00 PM EST Friday Night that it's posted.
B. 100 recommends for each comment, at least.
C. Stay on Recommend List at least five hours (this requires some strategic planning by you guys, refer to guideline #3)
D. At least 200 diary recommends. 300 would be better, spread the word.
E. And always, fun fun fun.
F. Have at least 75% average participation rate as seen here in the Mojo Friday Postgame Show by Woodtick and bjedward.
G. (New) Have at least 30 kossacks over 90% participation (see here for some tips).
H. Overload the servers with recommends, not to mention dominate Top Comments Mojo list. (we do tend to mess with the site with all of our recommends at one time)(also, to dominate the Top Comments Top Mojo we need at least 50 comments with over 200 recommends, see guideline B)
I. That's enough for now. (Have a suggestion? Post it.)
MKinTN posted a diary to help everyone achieve greater success called How to Succeed at Mojo Friday Without Really Trying.
