Am I just getting old or has the world been turned inside out?

“The International Criminal Court was established in 2002 as a permanent tribunal to prosecute individuals for genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression”

Obama may need to pay these people off, or he could wind up in there

Well, there you have it. Planet Earth is now run by morons who thing they’re going to die by global warming. I hope there’s intelligent life in the universe that might come down and save us. It doesn’t appear that it’s going to be done by humans.

Can I file a class action suit against the USA for having (barely) more than 50% of our citizens (well, except for those non citizen voters like the illegals and the dead people) putting a manchild Marxist into the most powerful office in the world?

Let's sue on behalf of the untold millions slaughtered in the name of "a woman's right to choose."

Then sue on behalf of the victims of Marxism.

Then sue the Indians for reparations for lung cancer caused by tobacco.

Kyrie Eleison!

Speaking for myself, I think it’s both.

This is about trying to protect future generations of mankind, humankind ...

Nice cringing recovery from an almost fatal error.

A climate activist in Boston is currently mulling creating a lawsuit in the International Criminal Court (ICC) in the Hague, the Netherlands, asking for US$1 billion dollars in damages on behalf of future generations of human beings on Earth.

"Here's the plan. We get the warhead and we hold the world ransom for... ONE MILLION DOLLARS!"

Number Two: "Don't you think we should ask for *more* than a million dollars? A million dollars isn't exactly a lot of money these days"

One billion, divide among 10 generations, say average 10 billion/generation, everyone gets 1c each (and pie)

I propose to sue every state so that people who don’t own property can’t vote on increasing property taxes on those that do.

Since there is the relationship between “cause” and “effect,” and in recognition that there is a necessary lagtime between cause before effect can occur, is this lawsuit aimed at Clinton, Chirac, Trudeau and the other leaders who participated in the causal period? I’m sure that is the case.

At my advanced age (and medical condition), I’m enjoying all this stuff. I only have a few years left (at best) and have little influence on world events … so, as a bystander, I’m enjoying all that is occurring around me. Not feeling optimistic in regards to our young folk thou.

And I may file suit there as well for the lost jobs of future generations due to the stupidity and wackiness of this generation.

Tell the ICC to stuff it. They have no jurisdiction or means of enforcing their kangaroo court.

Likewise.

I never take the results personally. I've been on the losing side more than my share.

However, this is the first time I actually worried about the consequences of the result.

Well that’s fine, as long as they let the people who are doing REAL Science on the subject have their say.

It’s another attempt at big time fleecing of the world.
