I always found the journal model to be one of the best scams there is. Buy our journal. Written by you. Edited by you. Referreed by you. Based on research paid for with public money. The journal contribution is to sell the paper back to the people who provide their content.

Injuries take longer to heal when you are >30 and even more when >40. Learning to skateboard means a lot of injuries... Just sayin'

My train of thought...

"How is that going to fit on your wrist? I mean I guess it could but would be really heavy and uncomfortable. Oh wait, those are headphones so it's even bigger than I thought. Ah wait, 'watch' not 'watch'. Dumbass"

Because you are a kid and you don't know but are pretending to be an adult. Nice try!

Except then the ordinary workers who did nothing wrong are made to suffer. Either they don't get paid or they lose their jobs. IMHO you make the CEO personally liable. They have the power to change the company attitude and policy. They need to have their personal fortune hit as well as jail time.

The problem with this type of thing is intent.

How do we prove intent to deceive?

Lying is not simply stating incorrect information. It is intending to deceive by knowingly stating incorrect information. It is not easy to prove what someone knew.

What if they were misinformed by a third party that may or may not have an agenda? Under these circumstances the politician is not lying and believes they are telling the truth even though the information they uttered is wrong. Do you go after the third party? Does this then give the politician a mechanism to evade charges using fall guys?

I absolutely believe that people like Bojo should be held to account. In his case there was plenty of evidence. It should also be acceptable for the opposition to state that they were lying in the commons without facing repercussions.

On the religion side the last picture should be the same as the first.

The article covered that. This is designed to be cheaper apparently....

"Politics of me" beats "politics of we" once again.

Why is it OK for an American company to headquarter in one state then cherry pick another in which to file a lawsuit? Surely a company should be governed by the laws of the state in which they are based. It seems weird to choose the set of laws you want to be judged by when the defendant cannot do the same.

So Heather thinks that no one talked about it because it simply hadn't occurred to anyone rather than being afraid?

Or is Heather saying she preferred it when they suffered in silence?
