Scruit

Ich werde "brechen" meine Frau in den Arsch, wenn sie nach Hause kommt heute Abend.

The Church should not tell the government how to define marriage. The government should not tell the church how to define marriage. I am all for same-sex marriage (all the state benefits of marriage) when done in a secular setting. I don't think any religion should be forced to marry people if they don't want to, so in order for same-sex couples to receive any religious benefits/responsibilities of marriage over and above the secular benefits/responsibilities they will have to find a religion willing to do it. But if that religion is willing to do it, the govt should not stop them.

So he randomly shot some innocent dude for grins, and then he turned himself in? Some f*cked up psychology going on there.

Not for Mormons.

Ich habe mein arsch gebrochen!

But now girls will marry girls and the planet will spin uncontrollably into the sun...?

The Federal Appeals Court in New York (2nd circuit?) joins Boston in ruling DOMA 1996 Sec.3 unconstitutional. Supreme Court is next. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2012/10/18/ny-appeals-court-nixes-defense-of-marriage-act/1641557/

Wake me up when they have an auto-start and auto-stop feature (vibration based, if they can't have a wire connect to it due to the need for a waterproof housing). Oh, and a cycle-record option would be great too.

You sure it's a joke?

I don't get it... EDIT: OK, I get it now.

At least he used a rubber.

Back to our regularly scheduled program: Stillwagon waived his hearing and was bound-over to the Common Pleas court. I guess no Grand Jury then. Still just the Felonious Assault charge. Nothing new in the paperwork except that they are going for the 3-year gun specification (Brandishing/using), not the 5-year "Drive-by" (shooting from a vehicle) specification. So, if convicted an sentenced to the minimum of 2 years for the felonious assault charge then he will serve 5 years (2+GunSpec). If they throw the book at him it will be 11 years (8+GunSpec).

When I got my first bike at age 30 (clean license, no accidents) the insurance on a Suzuki Volusia was $180/yr. The Hyabusa quote was $3k+ Bad idea for a first bike.

Wrong thread. This is the "stolen" car thread.

I'm not saying what they did was right - just wondering out loud how they would motivate the sales guys to spend weeks chasing him. Yes, I would agree it was a false police report report, however a prosecution is unlikely unless the can prove the person filing the report did so knowing it was false - the filer could plead ignorance and say he "thought the circumstances amounted to theft but thank you Mr.Officer for clarifying the law for me, sorry to waste your time." I have worked a couple of jobs running a cash register. If the register is short, *I* had to pay them back. (Although I never got to keep overages, huh...) I wonder if the manager threatened the same concept (rightly or wrongly - not many folks would argue anything the dealership did was "right!")

The reasons people choose phones are as varied as the reasons people choose cars. Fashion, popularity, technical specifications, ease of use, reliability, crowd acceptance, marketing success, functionality, practicality, utility and so on. Just as most cars do some things better than others and not as well as some, phones are the same. There is no best phone for everyone, otherwise there would only be one phone on the market as there would be no reason to manufacture any other phone.

They probably told the staff responsible that they get the buyer to couch up the difference or THEY had to repay the money that was lost.... $5k on a $40k car could go either way - some might argue that it is clearly a mistake and some would say it's just a damn good deal... Still, reporting the car stolen is bad - I wonder if they explained the exact circumstances to the police or if they just said it was "stolen"...

Don't forget unintended targets. What if the device goes off in traffic, or when you take the car for an oil change etc.

A reasonable response would be a full inspection by another dealership, replacement of any parts obviously damaged by the abuse (clutch/tires etc), and an absolute 100% drive train warranty (from the engine to wheel bearing) to 100k miles. If the abuse didn't mess anything else up then the dealership pays nothing. If latent problems emerge later, the dealership pays it. If the dealership buys the car back they will sell it on (latent defects and all) to someone without disclosing the abuse to the new owner - therefore any buyback should be under the lemon law so the title is branded.

If the contract has wording to the effect that inaccuracies may be corrected then that's fine. Math mistakes etc are correctable. If the buyer just has remorse because he agreed to too high a price, or the dealership has remorse because they mistakenly agreed to too low a price then those are not errors, and would not be correctable unless both parties agreed to the correction. There's no cooling off period, either side.

Don't do anything that can possibly ever hurt someone. Flashbangs, razor blades or electrocution could get YOU into more trouble that the burglar.

Pillock.

I'd go to jail for that.

Obama said mostly the same thing too. So why is the NRA fawning over Romney if he said that? Don't forget the NRA went schitz over the UN trade agreement that they are either intentionally or negligently representing as a ban on US domestic ownership of guns...
