In criminal law, entrapment is conduct by a law enforcement agent inducing a person to commit an offense that the person would otherwise have been unlikely to commit.[1] In many jurisdictions, entrapment is a possible defense against criminal liability. However, there is no entrapment where a person is ready and willing to break the law and the government agents merely provide what appears to be a favorable opportunity for the person to commit the crime. For example, it is not entrapment for a government agent to pretend to be someone else and to offer, either directly or through an informant or other decoy, to engage in an unlawful transaction with the person (see sting operation). So, a person would not be a victim of entrapment if the person was ready, willing and able to commit the crime charged in the indictment whenever opportunity was afforded, and that government officers or their agents did no more than offer an opportunity.
Yes, spelling and grammar errors may distract from the matters at hand, but do they distract more than those who complain about them? Also grammar and spelling correctors tend to be very rude about it.
It's not like people are asking "Did you mean this or that? I can't tell from your post.". It is people saying "Hey, you dumbshit, you made a minor mistake in your post. I still understood what you meant, but you are dumb for making that mistake."
In my last car the wheel wouldn't even fit in the boot unless the rear seats where put down. I guess I'm supposed to just dump my rear passengers (and their stuff in the boot to make room for the wheel) on the side of the road.
Which vehicle was it that you couldn't put a full size spare in the back without putting the seats down? That sounds like one hell of a design flaw since where are you suppose to put the flat tire after you put on the doughnut?
I used to get a lot of punctures because the street where I lived was basically a tip strewn with rubbish
I haven't used Slime, but from what I have read it is pretty much made for that type of situation. I don't know why I used to get so many punctures at one of the places I used to live, but if I was in that situation again I would give it a shot.
My current car did not come with a spare here in the US, but I can order one from Canada.
Anyway, in the 18 years or so I've been driving I can't recall ever changing a tire on the side of the road. I've aired up my fair share of tires on the side of the road, but I have never had to actually change the tire.
The manufacturer of my car did include a small air-compressor, some Slime and roadside assistance for the next 60 months. I have added to that kit a tire plugging kit and a jack so although I don't have a spare, I do have the means of repairing a flat on the side of the road.
For six times a year it would be cheaper to rent a vehicle for those times than it would be to own a separate vehicle.
Also, a car that gets 30mpg is not considered a car that gets good mileage, if going for an economy car you're looking at 40-50 mpg, that might change your equation a little, but not enough of a change for your specific situation.
- The towing capacity of the average modern car is about 1000 lbs (many actually explicitly state NO towing WHATSOEVER). This means that families owning a house, where every couple of months you want to haul a large item home will need to oftentimes rent another vehicle for that purpose.
It is cheaper to have it delivered than drive around with an extra ton or two of vehicle everyday.
- They stopped making the Crown Vic, that means 3 child families must use SUVs and Vans
Minivans are a better option than a full size van or an SUV. Better seating, more flexible, easier to drive and better mileage.
- Modern cars have small engines. This is great around the town, but on the highway, mileage suffers horribly. SUVs get much better highway mileage (not better than cars, but not all that far away) because they often put an appropriately sized engine in them.
Yes, I had an underpowered car once and yes it got horrible mileage, but is not the norm for a car to have an underpowered engine in it.
- It sucks ass getting a flat in a car on a long trip, since most modern cars have a toy tire, or worse, tire goop and an inflator ("clown shoes" as I like to call it). Many SUVs offer a full size spare--extremely handy!
One can purchase a full size spare and doing so is cheaper than buying an SUV for the option of a full size spare.
-
Now there is a good argument to make regarding SUV's and that is at full capacity it gets pretty good mileage per passenger.
A car is a better aerodynamic shape. My generation never had SUVs (not invented yet),
The Suburban has been around since the 1930's.
Nobody needs an SUV unless they own a carpentry business and carry stuff with them all day long.
Actually mini-vans are a better choice than an SUV for most trades such as carpenters. Better mileage, big flat floor to lay out full sheets of plywood/drywall, and big side sliding doors for easy access.
Corporations are composed of people therefor it is individuals living their lives in such a way and it is much of why the world is miserable.
There is no difference between an individual and that same individual at work, it is still the same person. That individual made a decision to push the law to it's limits, just because that person did it for money doesn't mean that the person didn't do it.
There is no group of non-player characters running around doing these things, it is people. There is not a faceless "them", each of those people making decisions has a face and a name.
Am I am right in assuming they can be summed up as "benefits society gives me"?
I see that you are a republican since you think everyone is after a handout.
I was thinking more along the lines of being in a committed relationship, knowing that the person you are with will be with you till the end, that kind of thing.
I didn't include making the families happy since you would probably put that in the "benefits society gives me" column.
See, I had always assumed getting married was saying "I intend to make this work", not "We'll just see how it goes." I had thought the latter was distinctly pre-marriage / pre-engagement.
Sometimes the harder you try to hold something, the more it slips between your fingers.
Trying too hard can be worse than not trying at all.
Granted Im a christian and bring that perspective to it, but Im not seeing why, if youre not having kids, or intending it to be long term, or taking a christian perspective, youre getting married. Is it all just for the tax and legal benefits? That seems counter-romantic.
If you remove the "not intending it to be long term" then I can give you plenty of reasons.
At the time of the anti-trust trials that would have been warranted and by breaking them up the different sections may have grown greater than it's current state.
Breaking up Microsoft at this point would not be done to punish Microsoft, but instead to diversify and free the various segments of Microsoft from it's current mismanagement.
I hate the stupid pop culture idea that marriage is supposed to be misery and pain. IT's a crock. I blame dumb ass shows like "Everyone loves Raymond", "Home improvement", etc...
For some reason some people think there is a significant difference between shacking up and getting married. The law may look at the two differently, but on the relationship level it should be the same. So lots of people go from a perfectly fine relationship where everyone is nice and happy to a miserable relationship where no one is happy because they have these expectations of what you are suppose to do when you grow up and get married.
My wife and I got our relationship off on the right foot. It was purely sexual for the first 6 years or so, we broke up briefly, and when we got back together we decided to make it permanent and we got officially married. We have now been married 4 or 5 years and we have sex almost every night. (It helps us get to sleep)

It is not entrapment.
I can't find the tutorial on entrapment that is set up as comics, so wikipedia will have to do.

Being for education is different from people complaining about grammar.
Really how much would I be adding to the conversation if I replied complaining about your double use of the question mark?
Complaining about grammar in a forum, unless truly heinous, only distracts from the matters at hand.
So they aren't including the on-demand channels also?
Or does DirectTV not do that? Ie: have free on demand channels for the channels you have.

And apparently you are just too damn stupid to figure out what to do in that type of situation.
There are a lot of things that can be fixed, but unfortunately for you stupid can't be fixed.

When you think about the current situation with Nokia is there a face and a name that pops up in your head about who is at fault?
At this point a court decision is not proof of anything except having a good legal team.
Well in that case, there have been plenty of shaming punishments here in the US, but the person can decide shaming or jail time.
This was the first one to pop up on google.

The Arctic Cooling MX-4 compound he is mentioning does not contain silver.
On newegg there is a review who mentions that he messed up and got some of this stuff into an LGA 775, and it still worked.
