    Bzzzzt wrong, they have the right to search on entrance, but not on exit. Again you can't sign your rights away, they cannot legally detain you period end of story.

    Even with wholesale clubs, the most they can do is cancel your membership and in the case of costco return a portion of your membership fee according to their own membership rules. You cannot sign your constitutional rights away. Period end of story. I've done it at costco and just walked out. They tried to stop me until I threatened to call the police, I complained to coperate and then the manager apologized to me. They didn't cancel my membership.

    There will be a lawsuit about this. It's just a matter of when. It looked like it's the employer doing the fining not the insurance company, which I know in my state if an employer holds back any part of your paycheck, you can get back 3 times the amount.

    BTW how many weapons out there have gamepads attached them them? Seems to me that to be actually training to kill cops, you'd at least need a gun based game controller. This guy should be dis-barred.

    This doesn't make a lot of sense to me, since the current Intel processors are still 32bit, and the latest PPC processors are 64 bit. I would think that going with the Athlon 64 would have made much more sense. Now they're going to go backwards?

  24. Re:Americans need to get themselves straight.. on Grand Theft Auto Led Teen to Kill · · Score: 1

    Absolutely brilliant, so you want just criminals to be able to have guns. Here's a clue for you, there are already lots of guns out there. Logic would dictate, that if we banned all guns right now, well all those guns out there wouldn't just go away all of a sudden. Guess what now you have a bunch of un-registered firearms in the hands of criminals. No way to trace them, because you banned all guns, so if someone get's shot, there is now no way to possibly trace the weapon. I nominate you for a darwin award.
