I have, thankfully, never been hounded by debt collectors but I know someone who does do it for a living. Telling them not to call YOU doesn't mean that they stop. They call your friends, your family, your boss, your co-workers, your babysitters, anyone...
If they have no business relationship with those people, they really can't do that. You can't tell them to stop contacting you either, at least not without some sort of payment schedule. You can demand that they conduct all business in writing. However, most of this doesn't apply if they're the actual creditor.
That's a silly attitude. The addition of a third dimension also adds a lot more room to avoid other vehicles.
How often do you inspect your car? What happens if you break down at 500'? What happens when some guy runs out of gas or loses all his oil while airborne? I can't see personal aircraft that get maintained on the same schedule as a Boston beater.
The Amish would most likely adjust, and they would improve their ability to provide their own medical care, even if their medical care remained below the level of a modern hospital.
Except for the genetic disorders brought about by an overly restricted gene pool.
Well, thats only paradoxical if you conflate technological "primitiveness" with moral, spiritual and intellectual "primitiveness".
Well, Amish communities aren't exactly hotbeds of intellectual activity. Also consider that, should you choose 'English ways', you will be forever shunned by those who raised you. Some choice, huh?
Maybe he meant that 'Contract violation is a tort offense, not a criminal offense.', which would imply that you have to sue for relief. (So not a lawyer)
ow about when Ford released the Ford Asshole in North American markets before realizing that Asshole is actually a slang word for anus.
If I were willing to buy a Ford in the first place, I might just buy an asshole, if only for the novelty. Of course, it'd have to be a good car first, which is why I don't like Ford.
Well, you didn't. Of course we were discussing legal roadblocks used to abuse various groups of people when you showed up with your christian morality.
If you are sending this from the future please send me the specs on how to send messages back in time. I have some interesting algorhitms I want to test.
Yes, I too have some questions regarding probability theory that I wish to test.
All of us are predisposed to certain kinds of wrong behavior
See, this is the problem: you define homosexual acts as wrong (based on your religion), then expect that everyone agree with that. Being gay and screwing other guys is perfectly ok. If you don't like it, you are free to find a nice catholic girl. In the meantime, please realize that legality and morality are two different things.
If its the former, then you're racist; fine. If it's the latter, however, one could argue that, seing as it was this nation's fault for creating the situation, we should do something to fix it.
So maybe we should fund public universities enough that anyone with the will to succeed (grades/test scores) can attend. The alternative is to write a large check, which just won't work - witness the majority of poor lottery winners: BK within 5 years.
Oxygen itself isn't flammable. Fire requires oxygen, and bathing a flame in oxygen will make it burn bigger/hotter/faster, but you can't just burn oxygen. You need fuel to go with it.
How about the in flight magazine? A lot of merely flammable objects become explosive when soaked on oxygen.
Some people do try that. However, odometers are designed in such a way that it obvious to see when the number has been reversed (the gears have assymmetric shaped teeth that allow the odometer to count upwards). Odometers which have been "clocked back" usually have numbers that are misaligned like certain styles of web page counter.
How do you detect a replaced instrument cluster? I'm looking at getting a car and replacing the cluster, and a biggish part of the process will be setting the mileage to match the old cluster.

And in South Africa, White Out is NOT called White Out.
Forget exactly what it is called though.
Correction fluid?
Lubricants and "Faster, Longer Lasting hard drives."
Seeing as how a lot of them will be stuffed full of porn, it seems somehow appropriate.
Dude, just right click on him and select "Hide." It's not hard.
I tried that. Clippy came back some time later, due to some other Office app, so I deleted his directory. Clippy ain't coming back now.
it's happened more than once that someone I recognize cuts me off or drives rudely around me - then they recognize me and their face changes.
Might I direct your attention to the greater Internet Fuckwad theory?

Is the airforce going to displatch an F-16 to "intercept" the red Toyota Hover 2012 and knock it off with a 3 million dollar missile?
No, use the guns. It's not like Toyotas have a very good flight envelope. Mitsubishis, on the other hand...
wouldnt this 'rich' person be in massive debt?
Jacko, is that you?

A billionare could easily have 10000x the average US wealth.
Isn't the mean net worth around $1000? That would make the average billionaire worth 1e6 times the average.
I guess maybe this would be most appropriate for fancy (expensive) things anyway, like maybe a nice bottle (er, can?) of white wine. :)
Good point. There's not much that's more recyclable than a glass bottle.

Congratulations! It's not often that a submission has the potential to ignite a metric vs imperial debate on both sides of the spectrum!
Eh, they're probably British. Gas by the Litre, speed limits in MPH, beer by the pint, and weight by the stone. God I love those guys!
I do know that Kashmir is a disputed zone between Pakistan and India,
Last I heard, China is also claiming parts of that region. Of course, this is China - they still view Korea as a subject state.
Toyota MR2 was a problem in French speaking countrys. MR2 sounds like merde (sp?), which stands for shit in French.
Irony of ironies, the French MR2 gets a 6 speed manual and we don't. Oh, and the hardtop is noce, too.

Look up the definition of apocryphal.

why should I pay $600/yr for car insurance that I never make a claim against?
Because it's a risk pool. You also pay taxes even though you've never been invaded.
