Any Member may ask for a vote to impeach the Supreme Adjudicator. In 30 days, a vote will be held to determine whether or not the Supreme Adjudicator should stay in his/her role.

If the vote is unanimous, the Supreme Adjudicator will be removed immediately and the Member who launched the impeachment motion will be installed as the Interim Supreme Adjudicator. Members including the deposed Supreme Adjudicator will have 14 days to declare their candidacy for Supreme Adjudicator in Board Announcements. 30 days after the deadline for announcement of candidacy, an election will be held.

If no member declares his/her candidacy, the Interim Supreme Adjudicator will assume the position of Supreme Adjudicator at the expiration of 30 days after the deadline for candidacy. He/she will be Supreme Adjudicator for a term of one year. If the motion to impeach fails, the Member who launched the motion will be suspended for a period of 120 days for causing undue instability to the Board and for damaging the reputation of the Supreme Adjudicator. Any Member who invokes Rule 12 may withdraw his/her invocation at any time before the day of the scheduled impeachment vote at no penalty. 16. No member may change his/her Member Name more than ONE time per year up to a maximum of THREE name changes. Name changes will be approved or denied by the discretion of the Supreme Adjudicator or Interim Supreme Adjudicator if applicable. 17.

A third violation will result in a 10,000 day suspension from Chatterb0x. A fourth violation will result in a 25,000 day suspension from Chatterb0x. 18. Under exceptional times of threats (internal and/or external), and backed by a simple majority vote of Members, the Supreme Adjudicator may declare martial law whereby all rules will be immediately suspended.

Craziness with that Boston Marathon bombing. My thoughts go out to the families and I'm looking forward to things being a little clearer tomorrow with regard to news reporting. I also hate to sound insensitive but.... I'm tired of seeing it over and over on every channel I flip to. |

I have a friend who lives for disaster news. He gets in front of the tv with snacks and it's his favorite thing to watch. |

I'm more surprised that this is the first terrorist attack on American soil in over 11 and a half years. It shows that the FBI, Homeland Security, and others have done a very good job in preventing other attacks. Terrible event though. |

I think it shows that unless we start profiling, we are going to have more and more terrorist acts. Whether it's Islamists or domestic terrorists, you can usually tell someone who is acting weird or looks weird. We are going to have to get over being afraid of hurting people's feelings and stop being fearful of being accused of "racism." |

The Federal government has been behind every outrage from Jonestown, to Ruby-ridge, Waco, Oklahoma, 9/11, Sandy Hook, and now this Boston Business. YOU are the enemy not foreign bogeymen. |

Oh, and as much as I would love to blame Obama for this, I think I will leave the government-did-it theory to you wise members of the "Keepers Of Odd Knowledge Society." |

That is what your arch and unmerciless enemy wants you to think LG. YOU are their enemy! A small elite has ruled America since the earliest days. They know that resources are finite and they want them all to themselves. There is a problem though, they are less than 2% of the population and they need to keep the other 98% so fearful so terrified* that they'll never think "hey we outnumber them 48:1 lets take our share from those ravenous greedy sociopaths!" The Federal government can't come out and start falsely imprisoning people and torturing them - not just yet. So government/corporate elite pump out death, murder, suicide, murder-suicide, shootings, torture, earthquake, tsunami, misery, despair, alcoholism, drug addiction, unemployment, long-term unemployment, redundencies, 'the underclasses', illegal immigrants, blacks, crazed Arabs, narco-terrorists, communists, witches, ghetto street gangs, rape, false accusations of rape, failing schools and endless nameless threats. All these things drummed into your head daily for years keeps you in a constant state of fear. At a level just below the conscious mind everyone is thinking: "Please leave me and my family alone. I'll be good! I won't say or do a thing. You can crank up the work hours, cut my salary, make me do more with less and tell me that I'll be a pauper in old age. Please, please, please I'll put up with living in 'survival mode', I won't say a thing about the steady erosion of my rights and especially my right to privacy. Tell me what you want to know and I'll tell you everything?! I won't hold back anything I promise, I swear on the lives of my children!! I'll sit at home every night watching television and I'll believe everything your media tells me without question. I'll chant 'USA,USA,USA' when ever you invade another country and murder and main innocent people. I'll believe you completely when you tell me that you only invaded 'Iraq, Afganhistan etc' to keep me and my fellow citizens safe. I swear that I'll get angry and dismissive if anyone ever dares to question what you say or your motives for doing anything. So please, please leave me alone!!" * They want you deeply scared and fearful, but not too fearful that you'll not want to leave your own house. That would be terrible for their profits! That is why these 'terrorist attacks' are infrequent. They occur every so often just to remind you that you need to give more and more of your rights away just to feel secure. |

What I meant was that the corporate media jump upon any disaster natural or human and shown endless pictures of the devastation NOT for humanitarian reasons BUT to frighten their own population. Corporate Media: Look look the world is a terrible place full of misery and suffering. Mindless Citizen: Oh my God the world is demonic. I best be as passive as a mouse and follow all instructions from the grown-ups(government). |
