I just don’t understand drinking and driving

@OmSigDAVID,

I’m Anthony. CS is hostile towards Morgan because he has a crush on him and has for over a year. He thought Morgan felt the same way when Morgan helped him out, Morgan was just being a nice guy, which he is.

Thank u, Anthony.
It gets kinda ruff here too, sometimes -- its not just CS.
Some people have left because of social disharmony,
especially about differences of political opinion.
There r a few (not many) members here who are known for being
chronically impolite and hostile; u can Ignore them if u wanna.
( One of them loves to say: "idiot" and "hi-lar-i-ous". )

I can 't claim to be entirely free of guilt, in that regard,
tho I'm mostly mellow n congenial, when not provoked.

Remember that u r free to start any threads that u wanna,
on any subject. U can see the profiles of any member
by clicking on his avatar or on his screename.

The most important thing to remember is to HAVE FUN !

How can you disagree with that? It's a statement I made about myself, what I feel.

You know better than I do whether I'm generally paranoid about talking to the police?
In asserting your question
or objection, u left out significant CONTEXT.
If u look, u'll see that I agreed with your reasoning.
That agreement referred to your justification of privacy.

On re-consideration, I chose to declare my non-support
of your absence of paranoia qua talking to the police.
I was expressing dissent from your judgment
in failing to be paranoid qua talking to the police.
I was not denying that u hold that point of vu.
( In other words, I did not want my expression of agreement
with u to be understood to be an endorsement of talking to the police,
a terrible and unnecessarily dangerous idea, devoutly to be avoided.)

Talking to the police can bring bad luck; (guilt and innocence are irrelevant).
Perhaps u did not see these videos from a Law Professor ex-criminal defense attorney
and from a senior Police Officer that were posted:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8z7NC5sgik

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08fZQWjDVKE

If u HAVE watched them, and if u disagree with their content,
will u inform us of your rationale?

I know that u r an admirably competent lawyer,
but on this point, it seems to me that
u have fallen into egregious error, with all respect.
I hope that u will not advise that to your clients.

David

Firefly, I am earnestly curious
as to whether u a remain in dissent regarding the wisdom of being paranoid
in reference to making statements to the police. In other words, I'll be very interested to know
if u found flaws in the reasoning of Law Professor James Duane
Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8z7NC5sgik

or of Officer George Bruch, of the Virginia Beach Police Dept.
Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08fZQWjDVKE

Will u reveal your rationale in rejecting their advice ?

Thay address a very serious matter concerning America's system of criminal litigation.

Of course, if u assert your individual, autonomous right
to refuse to look at the videos, citing lack of time or of desire to do so
(or no justification at all) I will respect your sovereign right to not learn.

@firefly,

I would truly encourage you "Bill" to totally "hear that" not just read it and baffle on as you do.

Regarding Firefly's post...to you.

You are obsessed with things in life, and you have to win, don't you? It's her fault, it's the law as I see it, no I can prove it, "well not there is this" , well yes there is that too and so on... And, you talk in another thread or risks, and fear, and negatives more than positives, such as "wow" a trip away, yay.... to you is " will the plane crash or not" .. So if not fear, it is everything has to be scientific but not logical, gambling is not logical.

You don't know who I am either but "I" am not arguing with you:) A comment here, one there, it's not important though... I am not the threat, I am not the one that you need "need" to prove wrong... so, I am a Newby:) Just heard that a few days ago somewhere else Smile

What is that? "You haven't worked me out yet?" Smile

What you need to see, is "someone" wasn't sarcastic or proving or in your eyes trying to score.

Someone... Just told you exactly how the feel over what you are doing.

"Outside of the debate" that is my take.... Be interesting to me on your reply for once...if you can stop being OCD and have the desire to win.

You lose if you go down that path....

David, English speaking is not confined to the few square miles of NYC where you live. I think Newbie is correct as it fits in with other words like freebie, techie etc.

Geografical references to the contrary notwithstanding:
be refers to existence; re-iterating, the concept is to be new.

To distort the verb of existence with additional letters
introduces unnecessary confusion. Do u see my point ?

@OmSigDAVID,

I do, but you're trying to apply the rules of logic to an area where it's not appropriate. Many phrases are completely illogical, the suffix bie on newbie freebie etc, has nothing to do with the verb to be. It just turns an adjective into a noun.

Logic is simply sound reasoning,
such as asserting that 3 x 4 = 12.

Is there an "area where" it is "appropriate" to assert that
3 x 4 = 13.7 ??
Of that, I remain skeptical -- very skeptical.

It was by the use of accurate logic with competent weapons
that we rose to the top of the food chain (arguably better than some places)
and by use of logic that we got to the Moon.

Your statement suggests someone arising from bed one morning
and declaring: " I shall make a mistake today! "

Will u bless us with the source

I am aware of no reason that spelling the verb of existence: be
is inferior to rendering it "bie" for that purpose.

I re-iterate my suggestion of spelling the noun newbe.
(That also omits a useless letter.)

It will be interesting to hear the outcome once Thom goes to trial. Everyone is keeping quiet and not talking these days. I wonder how long before the trail begins? I suppose a good lawyer can pospond it for quite a while.

Why do you think this case will have the unusual result of a trial?

What's wrong with that? I must make at least one mistake every day. Usually it's something mundane, like forgetting to buy toothpaste at the supermarket.

I figured it out using reasoning and logic.

@OmSigDAVID,

The other problem with your spelling of newbe, is that it does not help with pronunciation. It could be pronounced 'newb' or 'newbee,' with newbie there is no such ambiguity.

Yes; I 'm sure that 's true, Marco.
Clearly everyone posting to this thread cares about it
and is in suspense about it, all over America.

I 've been in quite a few collisions with drunken drivers.
The last time it happened, a 70 old lady totaled out one of my cars; sideswiped.
I liked that car, but I bear her no ill will; her car was badly damaged too.
I did not desire vengeance; I wonder whether Barry did.

Its kind of dramatic how fast things can CHANGE!
She was removed from the scene in handcuffs,
returning from dinner in a restaurant with her husband, in upstate NY.

I can 't say much about the criminal justice system of Florida.
I 've never been admitted to practice there.
I 've only been there for vacations. I 've been to DisneyWorld several times.
Have u been there ?

With everything considered (Barry's demise),
do u wish Thom well in his forthcoming legal adventure ?

In my personal vu, its sad, unfortunate, and undesirable
to put one of our fellow citizens thru hell for an accident,
even tho he erred in not taking a cab, or walking home.

In my vu of the world: I like to see my fellow citizens experience JOY and beauty.
The more joy & beauty there r in the world, the better it is,
unless we r confronted with a situation of malice.
That 's different, but Thom was not malicious, only negligent.

How do we pronounce his name? Is it like Tom or like thread?

David
