You're not going to be looking at where you're going from 200 miles up when you get there, so why do you need to see it from that angle if the purpose is to get an idea of what it will look like from the ground?
I'm trying to land the space shuttle you insensitive clod!
Believe it or not, the examples you mention have all been considered, and catered for, in defamation law. You're not the first person it's occurred to.
Reporting crimes you witness to the police is an obvious (except to you) case of public interest. While I won't go so far as to say journalism is a 'meaningful profession', they too have special rules that give them a bit more freedom in their reporting, again on the grounds of public interest.
I understand you - but I think you've oversimplifying it with the "being nice to one-another" bit. There's a difference between that, and hurting one's reputation. That said, I don't entirely disagree with you either.
Not at all - the lawyer might only be implying he's been treated like a thief in this case, but never implied that the company accused him of such. She could say he visits his mother often and keeps a beautiful vegetable garden (assuming her case will gain something from saying so), it doesn't at all mean that someone's claimed the opposite.
Who, in their right minds, is going to take the sworn testimony of a cop needing to make up numbers seriously?
Since it's known the cop works for quota anyway, it's implicit that he and all the cops in the precinct needs to make up the numbers, week after week. Who, in their right minds, indeed.
Quota based policing: It'll find crime whether it exists or not.
Probably the same reason automobiles come with cigarette lighters^W^W generic power outlets. It's feasible and damn convenient, while not even vaguely related to the primary purpose.
Ah, thanks for reminding me! I'll be sure to mention when I return my device that my troubles all started with me using 30 year old van de graff generator!
No, I haven't seen the Mohave ads (I'm a New Zealander, as far as I can remeber I've only seen the I'm a Mac, I'm a PC ads). Thank you for explaining that.
Okay, so you've probably recently learned what a 'Strawman argument' is and are feeling very smart - but there really is no need to be so trigger happy with it. Go and learn some more fallacies, I'm sure there's one covering the describing of people who can't tell the difference between two (apparently identical) things* as 'generally clueless'.
If you're quick, you'll also see my Wiki article on the "Strawmanman" - one who automatically labels any thinking not aligned with his own as a Strawman Argument.
*Okay, your 'can't tell Vista from Vista' might actually mean something to you that it doesn't to me - but your assumption that everyone will "get it" is probably why you find people the way you do. After 10 years of retail experience, of course.

Those responsible deserve to be punished to the full extent of the law, and that does not include them being killed.
With respect,
African or European?
Man, your representation of dates and events make less and less sense the more it is explained!
Boy, now I'm sure glad I use MySQL to store noteworthy dates!
Shall we call it the "arc second"?
I nominate the first twelve days of every month: International Date Rape Awareness Day.

Uhhh, no?
Exactly, there's no malice in relieving the general public of crook politicians - it's entirely a move of good faith.

No - you went and looked up a definition of libel, which you then went on to misinterpret.
canajin56 is a possible nailer-up of "Possible Child Molester" posters!
No - now is when you say "Whooosh!"
Ha! Police!?! Keeping checks on themselves?!!. Ohhh, you're so cute.

Jeez, I sure hope all your pointless hair-splitting and knowledge-spewing made your dick bigger, because it sure added NOTHING to the discussion.

The future is where, friend?

Yes, and they just love it being done to them.
Geez, you two sound like a twisted pair.
