The new law makes it a crime to be involved in terrorist activities on American soil, and is punishable by up to 30 days in jail and up to a $1,500 fine.

Well that Bin Laden better watch out, that's a pretty hefty sentence.
Define 'terrorist' and don't give me no dictionary crap

Dude, what are you talking about?


EVERYONE! This was a hoax, a joke, a waste of time.

Dont you people read the news links?

Seeing as people (mods even) were fooled by this, I think the OP should be banned from posting news articles.

I dont surf news sites, I get my news from ATS. There are members here who get off on posting news for us, and I take advantage of that.

Should I stop paying attention to BAN, ATS?

Phew! What a relief! Now that people know that terrorism is illegal, they wont do it anymore.

And all this time, they were protected under the notion that the law is ok with terrorism.

Think of John Locke's philosophy of natural terrorism.

No kidding. I guess NOBODY clicked on the link, or it would have been blatanly obvious. Surprised nobody freaked out because Cheney broke away from the US and formed Cheneyvania. I'm SO surprised this made it so far without being moved...

The only reason I even clicked the link was because it sounded silly.

What is amazing is that a quarter of the posts have been notifications of the hoax, yet people STILL comment as if it is real. I understand one or two people not having time to research every thread they post in, but this crazy.

I know, crazy. It's a really funny site though, made me laugh.

For those who STILL think it's real news, here's more from the story...

In less than 24 hours since the law went into effect, Homeland Security officials say they're seeing a huge drop in the amount of chatter between sleeper cells in the United States. Early reports are that embedded terrorists are packing up and leaving the country by the hundreds, if not thousands.

"Listen, I am a religious zealot, not a criminal," said terrorist Mohmar il-Abdullah as he boarded a plane at Boston's Logan Airport, bound for Cairo, Egypt. "Your government obviously is caring about you very much. I will go now, bye-bye."

I wonder if people are just reading thread topics and posting without even reading the contents of the post. The original quote from the article gave it away as a fake immediately. Either that or I am overestimating the intelligence of ATS members

OK, youre creeping me out.

First I was gonna post the part of the story you just did, Then I was gonna post the Chenny story.

I need my tin foil hat.

I guess great minds think alike, and I agree with what you said earlier, the poster who started this knew it was crap.

Anyway, the MAJORITY who bought it should be ashamed, lol.

May it be a lesson to always verify your sources. Buying into sensationalist headlines does not make you knowledgeable..

Still though, any such bill would be all over CNN.

reply to post by Vipassana


Yeah, it would be all over CNN, if not for anything more than how ridiculously lenient the punishment was. That alone should have given pause to all those here who put wasted thought into it and linked it to future GITMO trips for us all, lol. Oh well, and I STILL can't believe it hasn't been moved yet. This is NOT news people!!!!

Maybe we should stop throwing points at the OP for a hoax by responding?

reply to post by cavscout


Yeah, I guess you're right.

OOPS.

Last points the hoaxer gets from me, lol.

Yes, good choice.

OOPS!

People, let it go. It says fake advertisement above the obviously...well, fake advertisement.

And the logo is an obvious parody of CBS.

To be honest, I read it kind of quick and just posted it. No I did not know it was fake until I read all over your guy's post.

Learn not to do that; I've made that mistake a few times in the past and similar mistakes.

I've learned from it.
