Originally Posted by reefraff If you have your original ticket read it. You agree to appear in court or pay a fine in lieu of. If you don't appear it automatically goes to warrant as far as I know. It should say that right on the ticket. This was 15 years ago. There is no law requiring that...

It's certainly an indication. I used to be a huge proponent of tort reform. Trouble is that if the law were actually adjusted so as to hold people accountable for their own stupidity, corporations would be exonorated from deceiving them. As a consumer, you have a responsibility to determine the...

Originally Posted by reefraff If they crack you on a traffic warrant they don't have to show or tell you jack. I was sorta cracked on a traffic warrant, but here's the rub: I had no outstanding warrant or tickets according to the State. I was also not busted in public. It was on private...

In an office situation, whoever is in charge of purchasing the gift should be letting you know what's appropriate on some level. It's then up to you to decide whether your contribution is adequate. As reef stated, however, 5-10 bucks should be way more than enough.

Originally Posted by T316 No, I'm not defining the word as strickly gay or homo, rather odd, confused, one who publicly exhibits non-typical conforming behavior. mmm - of course - conformity is, therefore, obviously the correct form of behaviour. The only remaining question would be...

Originally Posted by reefraff So if the cops decide you look like a drug dealer they can just walk in and toss your house based on that alone. I've been "arrested" for less. Bear with me, this is a long story. The last time I visited my former state of residence (WI) I was hauled out of my...

Originally Posted by reefraff So what does that have to do with regulations? Investigating criminal activity is a completely different situation from meddling in day to day operations. It has everything to do with it. Government is the sole determinator of what is criminal in the first place.

Originally Posted by reefraff I am not pro life politically speaking so dumping abortion from the platform is a no brainer for me. Illegal immigration is a whole other story. I really don't understand why people oppose removing people from the country who came in illegally. I grew up in a...

Originally Posted by reefraff There is a huge difference between opposing immigration and illegal immigration. There are a few crack pots that think any immigration is bad but that isn't what I have seen to be a mainstream conservative view. The mainstream conservatives are having a tough time...

Originally Posted by stdreb27 I'm not going to argue that it isn't a fiat system. I might argue that faith has value... That could be a fun paper... There's no question that faith has value. If the value of a given currency can be equivocated to God, so much the better. Oh that reminds me...

Originally Posted by stdreb27 What is that 100 dollars worth anyways? Just represents faith... Uhhhhhhhhmmmmphphphphph.... Have you and I not had this argument before? Except you were arguing the reverse of that illusory coin, whereas I argued precisely the obverse which you're promulgating...

Originally Posted by reefraff I am not saying the government shouldn't regulate, I am saying they need to get their noses out of the internal workings of corporations but given the choice less is better than more. If it's not to determine what is or isn't criminal behaviour, what is the...

Originally Posted by reefraff As long as there is more than one plantation owner there will always be competition. "As long as" is a HUGE caveat. The ultimate goal of Capitalism is Monopoly (hence the popularity of the game.) "Competion is a sin." John D. Rockefeller. Only way to absorb all...

Originally Posted by T316 Still avoided the question, so I'm assuming you are a queer. Non-sequitur. (Just in case you don't understand the term, lemme give you a leg up. It means that your two statements do not compose a logical argument because they are unrelatable.) Not only that, but...

Originally Posted by T316 You avoided the question. I'm sorry, there were multiple questions and both your syntax and logical application were poor. Let me attempt to address them specifically as I understand them: Q:"What don't you understand?" A:The necessity to be a bigot. Q:"Are you a...

Originally Posted by T316 What don't you understand? Are you a queer and offended, or what? I never said anything about being "classy". No, I'm a "right out there, tell it like I see it" kind of guy.... edit... And if I have to think things out, then it's not "intelligent", just not me. Be...
