Are foreigners "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States, just by being IN the United States (or its territory)?...The legal definition of jurisdiction is "the authority given by law to a court to try cases and rule on legal matters within a particular geographic area and/or over certain types of legal cases." According to this definition, if foreigners are NOT subject to the jurisdiction of the US then American police could not arrest them - and they could not be tried in American courts. This is the protection foreign diplomats get with "diplomatic immunity". If every foreigner had this protection, there would be no need for a special exemption for diplo... less

The whistles humans hear are specific and specialized to instill specific reactions of the selected targets. FEAR is the main emotion. Now here's the question. Why do more humans not hear those whistles at all while others hear them constantly? Different ear drums? Different DNA? Different what?

Of course it isn't as cool as actually BEING THERE. Like a boxing match when you're on the sidelines and can see the blood in glorious color. Well seats for the viewing up close would cost a lot more. I'm guessing none of them would stay empty. Just imagine watching a person you despised die in front of your very own eyes. How much pleasure that would give you and also the memories you could store up. Probably one day in the future of tomorrow it could happen. less
