RULES:
- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Bribery happened before it was legal constantly, to think that making it illegal again would stop it from happening is just silly.
the elected officals, kings, queens and what have you of the world aren't the ones who run everything. The people who REALLY control everything are totally unknown to the common man
Making it illegal let's you do something about it when people are caught making and collecting bribes.
It was happening long before it was made legal and nothing was ever done to stop it.
Loads of politicians went to prison.
Making it illegal limits how much it happens. It doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
Because everyone knows, if it was allowed to happen in the past, we're not allowed to ever stop it from happening in the future ...
