Not everyone is born with a brain.

SAUCE

Then again, maybe his "friend" knew his password, planted the rings and framed him in some act of ingenious vengeance. The satisfaction would have been endless.

 

Oh, wow.

"I'm taking this lamp, this TV, the xbox, and I think I'll poke Dave while I'm here."

 

*exasperated sigh* God, the retardation of the human race continues.

 

Not the entirety, mind you, just the dimwits who use facebook/myspace/some other homo-erotic social site and think that not checking it twice a day is a cardinal sin.

Bit like me and these forums, really. But atleast I'm not a fucking idiot about it like that bloke.

 

You now, if that happened here in America (did it happen here?), there would be more to the story.
The home owner would be held liable for entrapment.
1) for having diamond rings so easily accessible.
2) for having a computer with online access that could be used to temp the offender into logging on to his social network site.
Gods! Sometimes I HATE our legal system.
No. Not the system. The liberal fucktards that are so far to the left they’re not even on the planet anymore that make the decisions in the legal system. They are what I hate about it.

 

Last time I checked, Pennsylvania was part of the US.

But you're right puppy, the legal system is a little fucked up. Like the thief who cuts himself on a knife while breaking into somebody's home, sues the homeowners and wins.

Frivolous Lawsuits

#4 on that list is pure win. And the one about suing over a killer whale killing somebody... it's right there in the name geniuses!

Thief robs, then sues store for shooting at him

 

Papa_Dog: Considering people who are on the radical left-wing of the political spectrum are opposed to capitalism and the economy we live in, I don't think they're the ones creating laws that allow us to sue others. Your government is also pretty far to the right compared to most other nations, as well. Come on, guys, if we're supposed to be a forum full of intellectuals, let's stop acting like rednecks.

While I don't understand how your rant actually relates to the topic (not that it matters on TA, anyways) I agree. The American legal system is plagued with a number of frivolous lawsuits. In Canada, this is still an occasional problem, though it is somewhat deflected by a maximum payoff of around $300,000 for pain & suffering (pain & suffering just isn't enough to retire these days). However, I have heard of some pretty bullshit cases.

In one, a burglar tripped on a broom that was laid out across the basement doorway of somebody's house. He became a quadriplegic. He sued for several million dollars (to support himself on a disability).

In another, two thirteen year olds were trespassing on a construction site on a hill, and going at reckless speeds. Some kid on the sidewalk was going slowly, trying to get used to bicycling. One of the thirteen year olds hit him, became a quadriplegic, and managed to win several million for the kid's recklessly slow driving.


I liked magikot's post about the frivolous lawsuits. Though killer whales are actually known as 'Orcas' and are not known for killing humans. This one being involved in two deaths seems to indicate it's a bit vicious, however. And who jumps in a tank with a huge whale anyway?

EDIT: I would probably sue Subway if I found a knife in my sandwich too, though. Especially if it was baked into the bread. And whoever in the kitchen should be charged with criminal negligence. D:

 

I once made the mistake of eating at a Huddle House (look it up if you don't know) very early in the morning. They had just sharpened their knives; I know this because there were metal shavings on my toast, which I was fortunate enough to notice before taking a bite. I got up, set my plate next to the register and said "Take a close look at the toast." Then left without paying. In hindsight, I see that I should have eaten half the toast, saved half as evidence and sued the fuck out of them.

 

While I know the real name is Orca, any animal, even those not known for killing humans, will do so if they feel they, or their territory is threatened. Being in one of those tiny tanks I can assume the whale felt as such and attacked the intruder.

Or the way the guy was swimming made the whale think it was a big fish. Regardless, trespassing and jumping into a tank with a wild animal is stupid. Reminds me of something I read years ago about some guy's family in NYC suing the NYC zoo because he was mauled to death by a lion after he jumped over the fence and climbed down 15 or so feet of concrete to pet the lions. Apparently there wasn't enough safety precautions to keep an idiot at bay.

 

They don't make the laws per say. That's built into the system. They make the rulings that award the fools in magikot's list the huge sums of money. And if you don't sue for it yourself, there's whole organizations full of bleeding hearts that'll do it on your behalf.

 

Who the hell takes up scatology as a profession?

 

People such as this gentleman.

 

...never again.

 

I clicked the link...why did I click it? Overwhelming curiosity? A mistaken view of Muro's decency? I'll never know.

I'm a horrible husband. Strawberry ice cream is my wifes favorite and the first thing that came to mind is "I'm going to have so much fun telling her to eat shit.".
"PETA Vs Division of Fish and Wildlife" They never cease to amaze and sicken me.

 

Its so pathetic. Next we're going to have facebook serial killers. This generation needs a holocaust.
Old syle serial killers sometimes left clues to make themselves well know by all and make the Yorkshire police look like fumbling idiots. Now they were the real deal. Dont get me wrong, im not a fan of mindless killing, but if there's a nice level of thought gone into it and a fun mystery attached, well it makes for good news in my book.

 

*slams head against her desk, repeatedly*

Goddammit. I'll never be able to eat ANY kind of icecream again, now I know that. Fucking oath... whatever happened to putting actual strawberries in strawberry-flavoured products?

As if I needed more proof of my theory that humanity is fucking retarded.
