ParticipantGet a dog, alarms are almost worthless. Here’s a study done in San Bernadino County on residential burglary alarms.
http://www.fontana.org/police/Verified_Response/formatted_falsealarm_report_April6_2007.pdf
I’ll save you time to read it all, it was mostly done for law enforcement agencies to determine how to minimize the impact of false alarms, which are a complete waste of resources. Here are the highlights of the 26 pages:
99% of alarm activations are false
0.08% of alarm activations result in an arrest
6% of all law enforcement calls are for false alarms.
This wasn’t in the report, alarms don’t bite.
In most areas of our lives, technology makes it better, in this case, technology is no match for the century old home protection recipe of a dog and a shotgun.

ParticipantThat was funny but after I watched it there was a link to a similar video and that one had me cracking up with regards to how wives can sometimes pressure men into buying homes

ParticipantThis is why people hate lawyers. Illegal? no. Unethical? debatable. Something to be ashamed of?
Yes.I guess it all depends on what your definition of “is” is. Sorry, didn’t mean to pull a lewinski, but where is the mention of right and wrong, business ethics and illegality aside, many of us still believe in that right and wrong crap, some of us choose to live by it, perhaps to our detriment, but it keeps us warm on cold nights.
It all boils down to people you want to drink with and people you dont want to drink with. People who’s funeral you will miss a playoff game to attend and people you wouldn’t miss a midseason clippers game to send off. The choice is yours, pick who you want to be, the law and your ethics class may give you a pass but i wont save you a seat at the bar. I’ll give you a pass if you cant uphold your obligation, but if you choose not to because it will benefit you, then you aren’t worth my time. Who doesn’t know a guy who pays his child support to be in compliance with the law but fails to parent his child.
Illegal? no. Unethical? debatable. Something to be ashamed of? Yes.
be a big boy and make your momma proud.

Participant[quote=patientrenter] “It’s OK if I steal a little, isn’t it”. My answer is No.[/quote]
That’s the crux of the issue, you only have to be accountable to you, don’t worry about everyone else. We will get through this and we will get through the next thing, but in the end, you only need to worry about how you feel about you.
Not paying your debts, breaking your promises, cheating on your taxes, having an abortion, cheating on your spouse, lying to your kids, faking erectile dysfuntion just to get a viagra prescription for sport, leaving the toilet seat up, whatever it is that you feel is ethical or unethical yet isn’t illegal, let it go, free yourself of the hall monitor duties and just worry about impressing yourself.
I’m more than halfway though my time on the planet and i’ll be damned if I am going to turn back now on the undefeated record for at least five of the eight aforementioned examples, some things define you and even if they cost you a little in getting ahead as far as money goes, once lost, principles cannot be reaquired.
This has been a viral e-mail, i’m sure you’ve all gotten it before but as a reminder
