OT: Bins with other people's wrong stuff in them

[James Wilkinson Sword]

In that case the law is really f***ed up. If a close friend of mine hit me, I'd probably forgive him. If a complete stranger did it, I'd want him arrested.

[James Wilkinson Sword]

What? Jurors should be paid a wage fitting with what they're being asked to do.

I gather it's fun to give them $5.35 to pay for $3.35 of food, then they tell you you've given them too much.

Seatbelts are uncomfortable, and a nuisance when you stop at a junction and they lock as you try to lean forwards to look both ways, and a big nuisance if you're doing deliveries etc and getting out of your car 100 times a day.

Defeating it is easy, you short the connector in the latch, or buy one of these, or if it's just a warning light like mine, paint over it.

You can open your beer with them while driving too.

Seatbelts don't save lives. They can actually take them away. They prevent escape.

And the most important thing, it's YOUR life you're risking. Nobody's business but yours.

I'm not a Pizza Hut delivery driver. Are you?

The state has a traveling exhibition promoting the use of seat belts. It's a frame mounted sled on a steep track. You get in, fasten the belt, and they release the sled to slam into the stops at the bottom of the ramp. They let you figure out where you'd be without the belt.

Anyway, they hand out free pads similar to this. They help where the belt crosses your collarbone.

[rbowman]

Oh, you meant the jurors should get paid more. It's your civic duty and you should be happy to do it for free. The money you get is for transportation not serving on the jury.

It may be different for the volunteer army but back in the day when they rounded you up to perform that civic duty they weren't offering competitive wages either. The only people who get rich serving their country are politicians.

[rbowman]

Never been married, have you? When people call their wives Honey it's short for Honey Badger.

"One particularly vicious tactic the animals use on larger prey is to castrate them and then wait for the animal to weaken from bleeding"

[James Wilkinson Sword]

Similar.

It's my life, I'll choose if I want it protected.

[James Wilkinson Sword]

If you love someone you'd allow a little violence.

ical transport vans have seatbelts of a sort. The vans have tiedowns for= wheelchairs similar to what's used for cargo transport. The floors have= tracks for the tiedowns so they can accommodate one or more wheelchairs= at a time. =E3=83=BD(=E3=83=85)=E3=83=8E

Why are you such a pessimist?

-- =

TV takes over your life when you could be doing useful things like smoki= ng crack and stealing car stereos.

So if your wife hit you you'd not forgive her? Surely you wouldn't be as annoyed as if a random stranger hit you.

"When I saw my baby cry I knew that he loved me That was some great victory He cried because of me He hit me with his belt But his tears were all I felt When I saw my baby cry I knew he loved me"

The feminists drummed Chrissie out of the corps after that one. Then she really finished the job:

I always had a soft spot for her although I've questioned her sanity. A vegan restaurant in Akron OH? Really?

[James Wilkinson Sword]

The feminists are out of their minds. If she says it's her fault, it's her fault.

[James Wilkinson Sword]

Can't you get away with murder by saying Hail Marys anyway?

[rbowman]

Yeah, and you even have a rosary to keep track of them all.

[James Wilkinson Sword]

A rosary sounds like a an impenetrable shield around a castle with unbelievably sharp thorns.

[rbowman]

That's why nuns wear rosaries clipped to their belts rather than a Glock..

[James Wilkinson Sword]

I reckon nuns are naughty behind closed doors. There's no way someone could have no sex drive.
