    Sorry about reposting this so many times. My connection was messed up and every time i refreshed the screen it failed to come up so i didnt think it had gone through until suddenly they all appeared at once.

    You can then counter sue and get punitive damages. So, um, yes.

    I take it back. I followed the first link assuming it would be the primary story and it didn't say that. The last one (which is much longer) does.

    I dont care if she is innocent or guilty. I'm saying that the summary is quite biased and implies that she is innocent BECAUSE she is sick. That is very different than being innocent AND sick.

    And after I did RTFA (which it doesn't actually link too, it links to a link) there is nothing in there to really imply that she IS innocent. No denial of the charges nor claim of innocence. However there is a quote saying something about how little she makes and "What am I to do?" Well, genius, how about NOT BREAK THE LAW?

    I dont care if she is guilty or not. But the summary is quite biased to imply that she is innocent BECAUSE she is sick. That is entirely different than being innocent AND sick.

    Then it should have been a slam dunk for you to prove in court and counter sue. You win.

    how does her disease change her guilt? If she did download them, she is guilty. If not, then she is innocent. To say she is innocent because she is sick is simply stupid. There are plenty of terminally ill people who are horrible people and should face the consequences of their actions. Just having a terminal illness and/or being poor does not give you a get out of jail free card (however being a protected minority might...)

    You are a moron. Doctors have spent years learning about disease and microbiology. Parents get fancy articles in pretty magazines that use a lot of top 10 lists. Doctors do have the ability to determine EXACTLY what is causing the disease in the vast majority of cases. Symptoms are actually less important in diagnosis than signs. Parents get media scares written to induce them to buy the stupid magazine.

    Before you ask, yes I do work in health care.

    Might not be a bad idea, except that when you wanted to find it again you wouldnt have a clue. Okay, maybe YOU would. My mom and the zillion jillion other users like her wouldn't though. So its not just an issue of having enough space to save it, its also helping the user know where to look for it when they want it back next time.

  13. Re:Hypocritic Oath? on Prescription Handguns For the Elderly and Disabled · · Score: 1

    Granted they should be prosecuted for trying when they know they aren't legal. But that is an entirely different issue.

    It really is a matter of enforcing the hoops we already have instead of than adding more hoops for people to jump through.

    What really pisses me off is that gun crimes by definition are already illegal, and are commited with illegally obtained guns, so why more blame the gun? Granted accidents also happen, but are much less common than publicized and often the result of unfamiliarity/ignorance rather than true accidents. In that respect it would make more sense to educate people and get them around guns more so they can learn how to handle them correctly.

    Except those with criminal records are already barred from getting guns legally. That they still do so only shows the ineffectiveness of the current system of ban things so people dont have them (cause the bad guys still will)

    Also, there is plenty of data showing a decrease in violent crime in areas after concealed carry laws went into effect. It boils down to criminals not wanting to jump ol granny because she might be legally carrying. That said, this should be marketed to the public, not as a medical device.

    And yes I do carry on a regular basis.

    In my hometown, everyone has a PO box. The post office has no way of referencing po box to street address to individual. It really sucks because something is mailed to my street address it bounces back and I never see it even though the post office is 2 minutes away.

    Saying no PO boxes is just dumb. Way too many people that have to have them and no other option.

    At the very least held responsible for the damage caused not only in getting the copper, but also by its disappearance. For example, the tornado alarms that didn't go off. Had someone died from that then the thieves should also be charged with manslaughter.
