Seinfeld's Good Samaritan Law Now Reality?

e3m4n writes "The fictitious 'good samaritan' law from the final episode of Seinfeld (the one that landed them in jail for a year) appears to be headed toward reality for California residents after the house passed this bill. There are some differences, such as direct action is not required, but the concept of guilt by association for not doing the right thing is still on the face of the bill."

    The great thing about robbing a fat guy is it's an easy getaway. You know, they can't really chase you!

    That is the stupidest fucking thing I have read all day. And I just got done reading newspaper bulletin boards, so that's quite an accomplishment.

    One armed fat guy and your spree is over.

    Are they more dangerous than fat guys with two arms?

    if you don't think you can call 911, grow a set of nuts and attack the perp. he can't fight very well with his pants down and his dick out. grab something heavy and bash him over the head or something sharp and run him through.

    Of course they're more dangerous, with less weight they can run faster.

    Right, so you read the questions through while following no instructions. That means you do not follow instruction 5, start the test from the beginning, and perform tasks 2 to 4, as you have not performed the action of instruction 5. Acting upon instruction 5 negates instruction 1, as you are no longer reading but have started acting upon the instructions.

    I had this argument with my science teacher. She firstly took me out of the science lesson for being disruptive (I was quite adamant I was right) so I walked down to the Head of Science and explained the situation. He made the teacher apologise to me.

    Unfortunately, this course of action did not get me any tail.

    Actually, not passing it would make you insane. Passing it means you filled in 1 and 2, you turned the page and found out you could not do 3 and end up with 66% correct. Not passing it means you skipped 1 and 2 according to the instruction of 3, ending up with 33% correct and failing.
