I hereby fine Société Générale 8,000 bitcoins for violating the American constitution (never mind jurisdiction since they don't care for it either), notice duly served by posting this comment in a public forum and witnessed by whoever happens to read this.

- TallGuyShort 13y agoHereby notarized by a third-party.
- ebbv 13y agoWhy stop there? I fine them all of France. I now own France and they need to get off my lawn.

- protomyth 13y agoYou can practice your Navajo by watching Star Wars in Navajo. Darth Vader sounds particularly scary. http://www.npr.org/2013/06/20/193496493/translated-into-navajo-star-wars-will-be http://www.npr.org/2013/06/20/193496493/translated-into-nava...
- Tloewald 13y agoYeah the United States never does anything outside its jurisdiction that anyone else finds annoying. That said, the level of institutionalized corruption in France is pretty outrageous. If I recall correctly, the president of France receives a truck load of cash every year which can be used with zero accountability (and that's legal). Of course the French (and pretty much any democratic country) can look at our electoral system and laugh.
- cobrausn 13y agoYeah the United States never does anything outside its jurisdiction that anyone else finds annoying. Except we aren't talking about the US right now, we are talking about one particularly boneheaded action by France. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism
- fizz_and_buzz 13y agoWell to be fair, the parent comment brought up the US not the one you are quoting.
- cobrausn 13y agoHe only brought it up to show the absurdity of it - the poster is probably from the US. Any other nation's constitution / body of laws could have been used as the example.
- Tloewald 13y agoThis is what appears to me to be an American (or USian to be more precise) complaining about France fining a US Blogger, so a direct comparison of the US to France is highly apropos.
- PhasmaFelis 13y agoExcept that Mike Shedlock is not personally America and has no control of the actions of the American government. Also, there's only one nation in the world called "America," so it's plenty precise. The continents are "North America" and "South America," or jointly "the Americas." Posturing aside, I don't believe that a reasonable person is likely to confuse them.

- rdtsc 13y agoThat's cute. You need one thing -- someone to enforce that for you. A court they would listen to, an army, your buddy Louie with a baseball bat, ready to break their CEO's knees. Societe Generale is in a better standing than you here. Some courts in some countries (France) using their enforcement agencies will most likely do their bidding for them. In other words I can fine everyone millions of dollars. Look I fined you and everyone here $1B. Guess what chance I have of collecting that? Disregard other things, deep down that is what it boils down to.
