Wow, just wow. All I can say.

[Katsumoto]

I mean come on, that is just beyond ridicilousness.

Africa, I bloody well love you.

[motiv-8]

This has nothing to do with "Africa."

Really,



As this poorly edited image shows, Liberia is part of Africa, the continent which if kind of retarded, coup-de-ta, massive corruption, political nonsense happens all the time, so frequent the UN has infact been petitioned to rename Africa 'nonsenseland' or 'retardia'.

In no other part of the world, would a judge steal a the one copy of a nations law.

So, He wants to be paid for binding Liberia's laws?

What nerve!

[motiv-8]

Looks like he already has, to the tune of $400K. Thank you, Justice Department!

I wonder if there's some kind of historical precedent for this.

[Sidmen]

400k didn't cover his costs.

Which I believe, since law books are huge and many.

Oh, excuse me. You were being sarcastic. Apologies.

[ShADoW]

LOL

[Surgeon]

Since they don't have the books they should just torture him until he gives them up, then claim that they didn't know it was illegal because they couldn't look up the laws on it

[Del Valle]

This is the most retarded thing ever. Why doesn't the government just send some soldiers to get him to cooperate and give the laws?

[ShADoW]

I think it'd be against the law

[Sidmen]

Because they're trying to get out of the barbaric civil war thing - which is pretty much exactly what was happening back then.

Also, they should have just NOT been stupid as crap and not release laws on pamphlets. Its far easier for them to just demand their 400k back - as a breach of contract - and re-write their laws. They are the Legislature, they have that power.

[Armenum]

oh God....

[motiv-8]

Ah, so you have discovered the (non)logic of the association fallacy. Bravo.

"Hurr, hurr, let's blame all of America for Mexico's drug war, because Mexico is in North America."

[Sidmen]

To be fair, you really should blame all of America for Mexico's Drug War. That was probably the worst example you could've used.

In no other part of the world, would a judge steal a the one copy of a nations law.

He didn't Steal anything. Its legally his, he made it, and won't give it to the government till they pay his expenses in doing so.

I and everyone around me have -all to do with Mexico's problems, thanks.

But whatever, let's blame Canada while we're at it. Also North American.

[Farnan]

Its steal contract violation. He was paid $400,000 to bind the laws and turn them over. If the expenses ran higher, its his own fault. Legally he has to either turn over the laws or the money, because right now he has truly stole the law.

[Sidmen]

Contract Violation =/= Theft

Also, we don't have a copy of the actual contract (if there even was one), so we can't say if he has a right to request more funds or not.
