They would have to weigh that bad boy of a petition. Given the number of signatures it's likely to get I bet it weighs in at nearly a stone.

It is revenge for Canada sending him south. 
Now they will have to put up with him again. 
The best part of him being deported will be that he will not be allowed into the US for many years.

See, this is where being very careful with your words really matters.
The foolish petitioners stated: "the dangerous, reckless, destructive and drug-abusing Justin Bieber".
Now, even a very stupid lawyer could drag out the case for decades, requiring that each of the adjectives be proven to apply to the Justin Bieber that everyone thinks the petition refers to.
If they'd said "Canadian singer Justin Bieber who released a pop song entitled <enter song title here> on <enter release date here>", it would have identified him well enough that there couldn't be much argument -- and then they could have added that he's dangerous, reckless, destructive and drug-abusing.
I think it's a plot by his manager, to ensure that he'll never be kicked out.

They can ship out also Lindsay Lohan, Lady Gaga, all the Kardashiand and... well, almost every celebrity out there that has done "real" TV shows. But we will keep Charlie Sheen, do NOT touch the Sheen.

We don't want him back.
Wasn't NASA looking for people to send to Mars?

Maybe, but I'm more interested in using him as a pumpkin in the annual trebuchet pumpkin toss 
I do have to laugh though. I saw the "drag race" he was in with his buddy. They never went above 55 mph. The way the media reported it, I would have expected to see cars drifting through curves. As far as the dui, drugs, etc - that's cool. Lock him up with Bubba, or better yet, Lindsey.

There is one of those near my home in Washington. Yes, I would pay very good money to see how far Bieber could be tossed.

That is the United States in a nutshell. We cannot be bothered to stand up against poverty, or severe underfunding of education, or gun violence, or hunger, or homelessness, or corporate poisoning of our water or air. But we WILL unite and speak strongly against an arrogant celebrity troublemaker that everyone hates anyway.

Troll. You must be a troll. I'm just not going to touch this...
And the only reason people are uniting is because the guy is so pathetic, and the current bozo in chief thought it would be funny to let the people petition the White House.
If you really want to know what's wrong with the country, start with the massive ignorance of the Constitutional crisis staring us in the face.

I'm a programmer, that's pretty much all I've ever done.
I live in America, a country with great national parks, wonderful bookstores and libraries, well organized sports teams, and hey!, this is where the internet was invented (even if it wasn't invented by a foolish man from Tennessee.)
But ah, how does one sell software these days? Years ago, ah, early '90s I think, I tried to do business with MS, they made the right noises for a while but, no, turns out they were just kicking the tires. And really, I'm just not a Microsoft kind of guy.
(My tastes are much closer to UNIX and Linux.)
So my question, how does one sell software these days? I've been doing research for a lab for the past 15-20 years or so, and the group is getting back into financial apps and I just don't want to do that anymore. I have some programs that do some pretty unusual things.
But I have no idea how to sell my goods.

My past experiences:
1. big consulting company, commercial did their thing, god knows how
2. small hardware shop, talking to customer identifying need, provide a software for stock taking (related to their business!)
3. mind mapping app: the guy loved that, made an app for mac, sold it online, I made the windows version
4. work for farmers. my boss had contact in the industry (he was a long time "soil scientist"), knew their needs, provided for it
5. now. my boss went to the government website, apply to tenders, got some jobs

One doesn't. Software is meant to be free.

I'm new here, I don't want to be banned, so I am left unable to say what I feel as I consider your remark...
However I note that even your screen name contains the word "consult."
In sum, my programs will be free when I can go to the store and don't have to pay.

Don't take it personal, it was probably meant as a joke.
You have posted in the Lounge where jokes are the norm even on serious topics.
Also, you may want to remove your email from your original post before you get too much spam.
You have enabled Email replies to your post, so anyone that wishes to go that route can.

If you go behind the store you will find all manner of free food in the dumpster.

Apart from the obvious (or not so obvious?) joke, consulting doesn't mean selling software, it means making people pay for using free free software! 
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

I've spent the last ten years, a little longer actually, researching two topics. These are subjects in Computer Science.
Now I have a product. It's not productized in the way the programs on my Android are, but the program is on two laptops I never put on the 'net.
I live in the US and here patents, most especially technology patents just aren't respected. I consulted for twenty years, I have a wife who needs me and since I'm old now, I'd rather not run around consulting.
I'm going to try to execute simultaneous product delivery based on a selling time frame of three to six months. People will want what I have,
I'm not good at marketing, but I've got to make a move.
thank you folks for your contributions, I asked, wondering and wanted to see exactly what answers I got.
Thank you!

Maybe we consultants may sell our expertise and charge for it and give out the resulting software for free

Pah. Liberal hippy. The Free Market just called to say it's going to crush you.
