Interesting. I've heard of such situations, but have no first-hand experience with such scenarios (North Texas). Regardless, Zuruck's belief seems to be that the gov't will come looking for oil on your land and, if it is found, will kick you off your property and give you a couple of dollars to ease...

What you don't know is that if oil is found on your property, it won't be the gov't that found it. Living where I live, I don't know one property-owning person who hasn't commissioned a study to look for petroleum on their land, including my father, grandfathers, and numerous uncles/aunts and cousin...

Ahh. I only asked cuz the city of Dallas wanted to build a downtown park where a friend of my father has a building. They wanted to pay him about $500k, so he had a bunch of his friends sign leases on the property and did a bunch a clean-up work. Then the appraisal went up to about $3million and the...

Well, that just means the mall's owners don't care/don't know about it. Maybe the mall has different rules. I went to a private beach one time that allowed nudity. Does that mean I should be able to strip naked on an airplane? Does this mean that I have a case when they throw my tanned ass off the p...

I could never hate Canada. One of my personal meccas is absolutely full of Canadians. :) No. The average American would not blame Canada if a terrorist attack originated from there. The average knuckle-dragging, slack-jawed, mouth-breathing American may do so but, despite what you may have heard, th...

It is built along a line that encloses territory that Israel took by force of arms from admittedly antagonistic neighbouring countries. The Israeli claim to that land is simply that they want it and have force of arms to take it. Yes, they took it by force of arms because they wanted it. They wante...

Europe is just too different. We do many things differently here. We even put mayonaise on our fries (to use a cliché). Heh! I dip my Hooters wings in ketchup and get stares for it. So of course we point things out that differ. Belgium for instance, has about the best health care, the best educati...

I know that this situation the US law allows it, but there definitely is a paradox there. Selling drugs is illegal, but impersonating someone who sells drugs in order to arrest others is allowed by the law. Yup. That about sums it up. It's really nothing more than information gathering. Besides, no...

No need for sarcasm, Pebkac. I apologize Tri, that wasn't my intention. The majority of your post, as I interpreted it, dealt with the question of hunch vs. sure. I was saying that the whole of the evidence at the time was sufficient to convince the vast majority of the world's leaders that he had ...

If the media hadn't uncovered it, you would have covered it up once and for all, and continued your evil practise of running secret prisons in countries less scrupulous to torture prisoners and let them do the dirty work for your investigators. :roll: More unsubstantiated assertions drawn from thin...
