  2. 7 drunks caught at DUI checkpoints in Hilliard

    Posted · Edited by JRMMiii

    If you're swerving, he/she has probable cause to believe you've been drinking.

    Since this lacks specificity, the 'probable cause' wording is ripe for subjectivity. Anything that's a subjective measure is an open invitation / loophole to violate your 4th Amendment rights.

    So you're correct, but try and stop them from pulling you over for "weaving" when you weren't. Your word vs. theirs.

    It's easy to put a number on it when it doesn't hit close to home. I'm sure there are plenty of people who would pay much more than that to get a loved one back.

    I agree, but everything has a cost associated with it, and as a society we have to determine if we should bear that cost as an extension of our government branches.

    Callous as it is, putting the emotions aside, it's a cost-benefit analysis - just not all the costs are tangible.

    Not bad, as long as you don't mind having a what looks like a stolen bike and only being able to ride it on the track.

    There are consequences to having high debt, yes, but you have to look at it relatively. Debt only becomes an issue when your investors don't think you'll be able to pay your bills. The US bonds and their rates are still the threshold for setting the baseline (I.e. The risk-free rate of return) because 'investors' still haven't lost faith in our gov'ts ability to pay it's bills.

    We had a surplus prior to Bush, and after chasing Bin Laden for a decade with nothing to show for it, along with bailing out Wall Street so they don't fall on their asses without their golden parachutes, we ARE in a period of financial pain and on a path of an unsustainable financial future. Changes will need to be made, for sure, but this is akin to you getting rocked with unplanned medical expenses one year and having trouble paying your 30yr mortgage. You'll adjust, get your finances back on track, and pay your mortgage company - they know it's just a temporary issue.

    What is so different?

    Do I need to google it for you? I'm sure you can do your own research on it.

    But, just one right off the top of my head that I remember from Econ is that there is an unlimited amount of time to pay off debt on a macro scale. You, as a person, have all your debts cleared when you die (if your estate doesn't cover them, they can't go after your family for your debt) -- when does a country die? You think America will die? I think we'll have an indefinite period to pay off this debt. So that's one of the bigger issues that changes things.

    i was going to build a PC (since my last build was like 6 years ago, which means it won't run fucking MS Paint anymore) but then I heard Crysis 2 was coming out so I just gave up. I'll build once the next giant leap in processor, vid card, and ram technology is inevitably released in order to be able to run that game semi-smoothly.

    Ninja plz, I'm running a 10yr old rig. Single core 2.0Ghz P4, 512MB RAM, nVidia GeForce3 vid card, Soundblaster 128. I actually had to install a PCI ethernet card, and a TV tuner card.

    Pretty much proof that people are short-sighted idiots. This really has nothing to do with Kasich or Strickland, just that people ebb and flow like the wind, typically on one or two issues and when they don't see immediate results, they start switching directions. :nono: Educated populace fail.

    Kasich very unpopular, would lose do-over to Strickland by 15

    http://sherrodbrown.com/news/articles/kasich_very_unpopular_would_lose_do_over_to_strickland_by_15/

    PPP - Raleigh, N.C. – Scott Walker’s actions in Wisconsin have elicited more publicity than John Kasich’s in Ohio, but PPP’s latest survey of the Buckeye State shows that Governor Kasich is the one in greater trouble with voters. He beat Ted Strickland by two points last fall, but if voters could do it over, they would have Strickland back in a heartbeat.

    Strickland went out of office with a -5 net job approval margin, and Walker had a -6 in PPP’s Wisconsin poll a few weeks ago, but Kasich is now three or four times worse off, with only 35% approvaing and 54% disapproving of his performance so far. That puts him in the company of a lot of the governors who retired or were defeated for re-election last fall.

    Along those lines, Strickland would win a re-do election right now by 15 points, 55-40. The poll’s respondents report voting for Strickland over Kasich by three points and Barack Obama over John McCain also by three (Obama won the state by four), reflecting a return to an electorate more like 2008’s than 2010’s heavy Republican turnout. 13% of Kasich’s voters would cast their ballot for Strickland today instead, and those who did not vote favor Strickland by a whopping 57-13. Independents heavily favored Kasich in November, but they now just as strongly back Strickland, 56-36.

    This has been discussed before.

    Your personal budget and the economics that go along with that is NOT equivalent to the macroeconomic theories that drive gov't spending and budgeting. You're using the wrong analogy and evaluation tools through the OPs "simple math".

    Kasich forbids broadcast of budget announcement

    http://www.mansfieldnewsjournal.com/article/20110314/NEWS01/110314017/1002/news01/Kasich-forbids-broadcast-budget-announcement

    COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Reporters have been told they will not be

    allowed to broadcast sound and images from the Tuesday release of Ohio

    Gov. John Kasich's budget plan.Spokeswoman

    Connie Wehrkamp says journalists can bring only pens, notepads and tape

    recorders to the afternoon briefing, where Kasich is to announce the

    first details of his state spending blueprint for the next two years.

    She says videos and photos will be prohibited and the audio may not be

    used for anything but checking accuracy.Members of the

    Statehouse press corps registered complaints with the governor's office

    on the matter. They noted a lack of precedent for such limits on their

    ability to cover a governor's budget release. An invitation-only town

    hall meeting later Tuesday will be broadcast on government television.

    Emphasis mine... hmm, wonder why?

    Drivers report speeding motorcycle without driver on I-20 in Arlington

    http://www.wfaa.com/news/local/Drivers-report-speeding-motorcycle-without-driver-on--117779293.html

    ARLINGTON - Drivers on Interstate 20 reported a motorcycle without a rider flying by them at 100 mph Thursday night between Matlock Road and New York Avenue in Arlington. Part of the interstate eastbound was shut down as police search for the driver.

    As of 10 p.m., authorities said the search turned up a watch, a helmet and a visor. However, the motorcycle's driver was still missing.

    While authorities were able to match the motorcycle to an owner's name, they haven't been able to determine yet if that was the same person on the bike Thursday night.
