ParticipantWhereas I’d cheer if an 8.5 quake hit Mountain View.
ParticipantNot sure if giving a company whose business is privacy-rape and sale of data about people access to ALL of your browsing habits is a good idea.
ParticipantI paid $2500 for a car that has had under $1000 in repairs over the past two years, and which I can easily re-sell for same price. Hwy mpg is in the mid to high 30s if you drive judiciously.
CL and the local papers are where it’s at. Besides, not supporting Detroit and dealer parasites is fun!!
ParticipantYou fail to see that he thinks the general population are rock dumb stupid.
The average American is rock-dumb stupid, or at least so uneducated as to reasonable approximate that status. Sorry to say, wish it were different.
ParticipantExcept by definition all housing purchases are public records.
Technically, but no need to make names so easy to get. You want price and mortgage records? You should be able to get them on the Internet. Full names? You should have to schlepp to the county clerk’s office.
ParticipantBasketball players are extremes. “Fat Americans” represents an average.
ParticipantStalkah!
I have mixed feelings. If someone with an uncommon name buys a house or apt in NYC, then their address is exposed to all who search. Perhaps records should be available on the ‘net, but with peoples’ last names blanked out.
This isn’t a question of transparency as much as making it easy to invade random citizens’ privacy.
ParticipantAgreed 100%. NYC has a system called ACRIS that shows most sales from the 90s, and some back to 1966. Sales, transfers, transfer tax paid, mortgages, co-op loans, co-op underlying mortgages. Pretty awesome, easy to use, and all of the data are free.
ParticipantCheaper and more functional isn’t always “better.” I think a certain large segment of the market will always be brainwashed into buying Apple crippleware.
This being said, iOS vs Android is just replacing a gimped OS with a less gimped, but still crippled OS. At least Android is easier to root, and doesn’t prevent sideloading by default.
ParticipantAgreed: cops should be held to higher standards. With power and a demand for the public’s respect should come responsibility that’s enforced by law. Screw up, go to jail for 2x the “civilian” term. Kill someone in line of duty without a damn good reason, face a firing squad on the courthouse lawn.
ParticipantForm a business, but on equal terms, not as some friends being employees.
July 23, 2012 at 12:54 PM in reply to: Can I ask rental applicants old landlord if he paid rent ontime? legal? #748799ParticipantAsk for their last – not current – landlord. The current landlord might say anything just to have them get out and MOVE already.
ParticipantYou have to ask yourself what happpened with that and if they did, why didn’t the theatre security respond?
Not all business establishments have their own security guards, nor should they be required to. Furthermore, security guards in businesses aren’t allowed to be armed in a lot of states.
The victims’ families are entitled to these answers and they no doubt will get them … in one way or another…
The only people who should answer to anyone are the criminal himself, and maybe the university, his family, and the gun dealer. The theatre was the victim here, not an involved party.
ParticipantWhat is most troubling to me is that Holmes entered the theatre as an unarmed regular customer and no alarm was set off when Holmes exited the emergency exit to get his body armour and weapons. Had there been, it would have likely alerted theatre security to the door and he would have never made it back in to do the shooting. I think this issue could end up being a cause of action in civil proceedings against the owners of the theatre.
Absurd. The theatre had no way of knowing that a madman would attack, nor reason of planning for that attack. Sometimes s**t happens, and no one other than the person doing the s**tting is to blame.
Yeah, we could attempt to totally eliminate one-in-a-million crime, but that would lead to a totally controlled world that’s not much fun to live in. Any litigation against the theatre would be money grubbing, plain and simple.
