Looking for a mid-size domestic car recommendation

You know, that post reminds me of a lawyer couple that were trying to figure
out how to stop moss from growing on their sidewalk permanently (it lives on
the side that gets no sunlight). Then they asked about making it so they
could never have ice on the sidewalk.

There's a point where if people keep going on with these stupid lawsuits
that they should just be thrown in jail to think about it. "Hi, I did
something stupid so I'm going to sue you now!"

When the stock crashed, he would be worse off while anyone who wished to
purchase the stock would be better off. Net result for society = zero.

Remember, when the stock crashed, nothing of real physical value was
lost, only the price put on it. It was terrible for the employees but
beneficial for society as a whole.

Ok, which am I, idiot or moron? Can't be both, numbnuts.

 

there was a local lawyer who feel into the shark infested waters while
fishing..... news reports say that no sharks were injured in this
mishap.

 

Then why did you say:

Does that mean you believe that if one keeps their money under
their mattress, rather placing it where it earns dividends or
interest, nothing is created of any value and the economy will
not be effected? Are you for real? Do you really believe, that
the net wealth of the nation is not increased by those type of
earnings? If indeed you do, then one is wasting their time
trying to enlighten you on this subject. Bye!


mike hunt

 

If that is what your really believe, you could be a poster boy
for convoluted thinking what our liberal schools and colleges are
producing today. What a sad state of affairs.

Sorry but there is one thing worse than inflation and it is deflation. Tons
of people holding expensive debt with collateral worth half and assets being
sold off. Happened in Japan.

 

When I worked for Kodak in Rochester, NY some entrances had heated
sidewalks.

 

I'm waiting to hear of the first case were some shark
sues an individual on behalf of another because he
did NOT sue the guy that ran into the back of his car
at a traffic light... Think of the mental anguish he would
suffer waiting for the guy he hit to start litigation. "Were you
NOT sued by the other person involved in you recant auto
accident? Call the lawyers at Dewy Cheatem and Howe. The call is
free
and you pay nothing until we collect the money you deserve."
LOL

That was kind of my point. The response to there being too many lawsuits
and such being that McDonalds would still be serving hot coffee just begs
the question that if its ok to sue a company for having hot coffee then we
might as well go all the way and sue every homeowner that has coffee that
someone might deem too hot and we might spill on ourselves. Just the whole
ridiculous loop of stupidity it would create. But I agree, throw people in
jail for wasting the taxpayers money for frivolous lawsuits.

 

As far as I know Corning hasn't went out of business. And I have a
pretty good reason for knowing!

Typical nanny government mentality. McDonalds didn't burn anyone. The
people that spilled hot coffee on themselves burned someone. Now if a
McDonalds counter persone spilled coffee on you and burned you, then
maybe you could rightfully claim that McDonalds burned you.

Except that asbestos was considered safe for many years. I assum the
Corning reference is actually meant to be Dow Corning and, in that case,
silicone implants have still not been indicated as unsafe in the MANY
studies done since the initial suits were filed.

Matt

 

I never said it would and I'm not saying it now. Breaking something so
you can fix it is simply wasteful. However, if the shop owner took that
money and loaned it to another person to start up a new business, then
the money is now serving a useful purpose. That was my point. Idle
money is like a pile of iron ore. It is potentially useful, but just
sitting there doesn nothing at all. Turning the ore into a car creates
something useful. Taking idle money and putting it to use doesn likewise.

I still don't see where you keep getting this argument about destroying
something. Riddle me that!


Matt

 

Even having such a concept as inherently dangerous (which implies that
there are inherently safe goods), is inherently stupid. Then again,
nobody ever accused our legal system of being inherently smart!


Matt

 

You are absolutely correct. Now that you mention it, I particularly
remember getting the impression from the landlording forums that Boston
is a city that you definitely do not want to be a landlord in. The
funny thing about all this is that when the court systems in a given
place become landlord hostile to punish landlords for past sins, rental
housing becomes scarce, rents go up, and the only landlords left are
going to be real jerks. And then when things get even tighter to inflict
further punishment, and they force rent freezes and lead abatement,
things get really scarce (people just simply get out of the business).
The people who are supposedly being protected (low income renters) are
the ones that get hurt the worst - unintentional consequences as a
result of idiot politicians who can't think past their noses.

 

You are correct, Corning recovered from Chapter 11 bankruptcy.


mike hunt

 

Keep trying. Corning (GLW) has never been in Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Dow Corning has, but not Corning Incorporated, commonly known simply as
Corning.

I was responding to your response to BT in which he (BT) said:
"Transferring money from one person or group to another person or group
does *not* spur the economy. True wealth can only be created by the
sweat of one's brow, both personally and nation-wide. Paper shuffles do
not do anything of benefit to the economy as a whole."
and you replied, in part, that "Sure it can...Someone who just hoards
their money under a mattress does nothing to increase wealth. So moving
money from a place where it isn't working to a place where it can work,
definitely benefits the economy as a whole." There are some people who
would take that to mean, and who actually think about the economy in
terms of, property damage actually creating wealth (they equate
stimulating the economy with creating wealth) even though you may not
have actually said that. In fact, in economics, this type of fallacious
thinking has a name that is given to it - I forget it exactly, but, in
the field of economics, it's commonly referred to as the "shop keeper's
broken window" or the "jewelry store owner's broken window" (or some
similar phrasing) mentallity, and is used to illustrate the fallacy of
certain false principles.

Sorry if I insulted you by insinuating that you might think that way. I
was just waving off others who might misinterpret what you were saying
and falling into the common misconception which only seems to be the
same as what you were saying but in fact is not. 8^)

The problem is not that lawsuits are out of control, it's that the
substandard doctors and nurses are not reported to their state boards
and hospitals do not let each other know about these problem doctors and
nurses.

If they can get rid of problem attorneys and CPAs, why not doctors?
