Grammar is your enemy! - While being able to understand someone's sentences might seem like a good idea for a proper essay, complaining on a forum scarcely leaves time for such trivialities. Write fast! You're angry, grrr! Make that show, and forget about things like capital letters, punctuation, and verbs.

Does Cross-country sueing even work? You know whichever country the courts take place in is going to be biased :/

Hot damn. You can make Scrooge McDuck's money vault look like a piggy bank. People could take seven day luxery cruises in that much cash.

The national debt is 6 trillion-ish, I think.

So they're suing the three princes...because the princes sought to buy Bin Laden off from attacking their businesses. That's like punishing the store owner the Mob makes pay "Protection" Fees. I hope they have something more solid than that.

Let's see...Ah yes. Attack Bin Laden's family. The people who, by all accounts, disowned the dipshit a decade ago.

Looks like they're out to piss off a lot of people. Sue a bank for all the money it has and you screw the people who have money invested in the bank. Sue all the major players in Saudi Arabia and we don't get their help in the future.

This strikes me as a boneheaded "WE MUST DO SOMETHING TO PROVE WE MISS OUR LOVED ONES" play.

They're never going to get all that money. Ever. Even assuming you find an international court that'll try the case, they won't win it.

"Two San Diego children, Devin and Geeorn, have filed a lawsuit against the United States of America.

The suit names every single US citizen or resident with a Visa of some type.

Devin has been quoted as saying, 'My heart continues to ache and will ache for the rest of my life, not because of lost family members, but because of the emotional and mental trauma that has been thrust upon us by the groin of America's idiocy and negligence.'

The boys have filed for compensatory damages of over $11600000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000. They are also asking that all 600+ members in the "Sue the Ragheads!!!!!!!!" lawsuit get hit to the reproductive organs by a large sledgehammer."

$116,000,000,000,000/$4,000,000,000=$29,000

So the world population(I think there is 4 billion of us) would have to cough up 29 grand, each, to gather 116 trillion dollars. This is doomed.

If they really wanted to combat terrorism and make them bankrupt, they would give the money to the U.S. Military. 116 trillion can go... a damn long ways. But I highly doubt that's what they are planning to do.


edit: 1.6 trillion to 116 trillion.. what the fuck are they smoking?

He or she will probably walk into the courtroom, convulsing with laughter, and then will have to be carted out to the nearest hospital, as such an amount of laughter will surely make his or her nervous system go kaput, and they will go into cardiac arrest.

Last night on the over-night news they weren't saying 116 trillion. Was more like 1.16 trillion. Either CBS or CNN has it wrong. In any case that is a serious amount of dinars.

And I tend to agree with Azakias. First off...where are you going to find an unbiased court? And what about appeals? This isn't ever going to be paid. And you can't bankrupt terrorism because its currency is (largely) terror. Maximum fear for minimum expenditure. Look how little the 9/11 hijackers actually had to pay to get the piloting know how and box cutters to do their dirty deeds. You're not talking about a million-dollar operation.

Besides how are you going to make people pay up?
