Someone should argue that every arrest made by undercover officers pretending to be prostitutes should be thrown out under this.

Just because you said yes, or even paid, doesn't mean you would have actually had sex, so you in reality could have just paid to "test" if the prostitute would actually agree.

Laws are written in such a way that they don't allow the jury to decide if what the person did was right or wrong, just if they did or did not do what was said.

Do you agree they had a pipe in their possession? Yes - jail.

Do you agree they had the drug on them?

Yes -jail.

The jury doesn't get to decide if they think it was okay for them to have the pipe/drug on them. A lawyer does their best to spin it in a way that maybe makes it appear the officer illegally made a search to make all subsequent findings inadmissable and invalid for charging. Or that the possession was not actually the person. But usually it comes down to, we found this on your person... And conviction of possession.

We punish people for DUI's harshly because they COULD cause harm. They get charges beyond the DUI when someone IS harmed. This is like saying a person drove a car at parade full speed but ran into a baracade. "I was just testing the baracade to make sure the people in the parade would be safe."

I'm still mad we are giving them typewriters instead of keyboards. Think of the arthritis! Ergonomics please!

See a lot of people think he shit his pants, I tend to believe he is just so full of shit he actually smells like it.

If you want to hear a really dumb but interesting one. A while back I joked about a reality TV show where government figures participated and we got retired presidents/governors/advisors to go on and give situations/lectures where they collected how the participants would react in the situations, then reviewed what real life events it actually correlated to and what response(s) were actually taken, and discuss why they were good/bad ideas. Thus actually educating the up and coming members with real life scenarios and letting the public slowly learn more about the cause/effects of each members actions while also showing what decisions the members would want to take if ever elected.

Many would lie obviously as they would lean pro populous on the show, and end up still being pro corporations when elected though, so it wouldn't end up being so good in practice.

...but it would be the first ever reality TV show I would want to watch. Also gives an opportunity for retired officials to make income post office so they don't have to assume once out of office they have no hire-ability, making a bribe in office less life changing.

Imagine hiring a president or governor at your local anything... It can't really happen.

Traitorous Court. As with most jokes, I'm sure my explaining it made it not as comical, haha

Imagine if we banned parties. Made lobbying illegal and funded all of the campaigns for qualified members paid for by the government. Encouraging government figures to campaign less as it saves taxes for their constituates.

The SC fell to TC years ago. They are traitorous to the people of the U.S.

Thanks for that, I'll have a ganter. Need to spin up a new VM soon and figure out a new distro to play with. Been slacking on exploring new things. Mostly only played with Yellow dog (small enough to dual boot on a PS3 with 512mb of ram back in the day), Ubuntu, Debian for other things. Likely will look for something that will work well for a media server.

Is the 9 pertaining to permissions like chmod uses them? I'll have to look it up sometime. Been awhile since I've ever actually needed to force quit something in a Linux os
