What if they claimed not to be responsible because it was the work of the devil?
Or if he tried a shotgun lawsuit against the Catholics, Baptists, Unitarians, Muslims, etc? In that case none of the defendants would risk trying to get out of the case, because whoever's god was responsible is the true religion.
Ah, but how do you value jail time? If I had $40,000, I'd gladly pay it to expunge my criminal record and not spend a few years in prison. Therefore, the certain threat of amassing a criminal record and spending time in jail > $100,000, and a 40% chance of amassing a criminal record and spending time in jail > $40,000.
I'm not sure how much money I'd spend to avoid jail, but I think it's safe to say that the penalties for bank robbery are of greater value than $40,000.
Parole. Convicts, with good behavior, are paroled after a certain part of their sentence. So if you give someone 25 years, with good behavior he can be out in 10. Give him 250 years, with good behavior he can be out in 100.
back in the not so distant past
when I would need a quick repast
or a temporary break from my agenda
off to the bedroom I would head
pull out the playboy beneath the bed
and sneak a peek at all the pictures of pudenda
my alternatives were slim
if I tried to find another source for sin
I'd have to hang out with the losers in the back room
of my local video store
but last month I finally made the call
I got a brand new cable modem installed
and I opened up the floodgates on a whole new universe
of internet porn
In China recently a censor let through a tribute to the June 4 martyrs because he didn't realize that was referring to Tianamen Square because he'd never heard of the massacre there.
So yes, indoctrination works well on the young and unlearned.
There will be an increase in people buying monitors and keyboards for home use, but the guts of the system will be laptops. They unplug everything and use the laptop screen and keyboard on the road, then come home to their shiny, shiny peripherals.
I don't think this will happen--desktops will be cheap enough that people who care about shiny peripherals will just buy both a desktop and a laptop--but the existence of shiny peripherals won't be enough by itself to preserve the desktop.
Real snail mail spammers send it 3rd class and it costs them under 20 cents. 41 cents means they're sending stuff first class, which is at best highly-targeted spam.

Where have you been living for the past 12 years? The right wing's just as bad as the left now on cultural content.
Wombs are only free if space within your abdominal cavity is worth nothing.
A few? Most women are content with just one. Where would you fit the second?
Also, it's expensive. A womb is free, artificial implantation is not.
Wait, he was arrested after -not- showing up at the sting? WTF?

So when do we sue God for collapsing the bridge?
Parthenogenesis is how they built that temple in Athens.
I'm not sure how much money I'd spend to avoid jail, but I think it's safe to say that the penalties for bank robbery are of greater value than $40,000.
So the punishment for stealing $100,000 should be returning the $100,000 plus some other penalties valued, on average, at less than $100,000.
I'm not sure I agree with the GP, but your argument is really silly.

I, for one, welcome our new artificial skeletal overlords.
Laws passed because something needs to be done, or because there oughtta be a law, or the like, generally work very poorly.
What about girl on girl on girl on girl on girl on guy on sheep? (not a link to any pictures)
If I watch one more stupid repairman story, I -will- plotz, that's for sure!

And were they not spelled "pores."
I'd have liked to see a definition of invasive. Did they strip-search her? Poke around in her bags? How invasive was this anyway?
Lebensraum. "Liebenstraum" sounds like a misspelling of (lieber + traum) free dream or something.
No, it means that '70s rock music sucks.

Not the Fifth. The Fourth. These are unreasonable searches and seizures, not efforts at self-incrimination.
It's the grammar Waffen SS!
