  8. Re:Aquisition of evidence on Judge Demands Email and Facebook Passwords From Women In Sexual Harassment Case · · Score: 1

    This is the defense trying to get evidence that contradicts the plaintiffs allegations.

  24. This is a concept, not a product on Gadget Allows You to Keep Bees In Your Apartment · · Score: 1

    Why is everyone bashing this thing as if it's something available in the real world?
