I'm skeptical of this. It sounds like bullshit.

So the hostage can escape.

That station wagon was probably heavy, slow, and built like a tank. And lucky.

They didn’t arrest “everybody.” I feel let down. But you’re right, it was superb writing.

Your second paragraph is stupid and doesn't meet the standard of good writing I've grown to expect from you.

Wouldn’t you be able to use a US embassy in Japan for any residency purposes, as it’s US soil?

Care to explain why this is insurance fraud?

Yeah. It’s not like he pulled a police association card out or had a law enforcement bumper sticker on the car, which is more of a disgusting attempt to weasel out of tickets. He didn’t say, “My friend/brother/uncle is a cop,” or something irrelevant like that.

A pet charity is the wrong place for a football auction, anyway. I think it would’ve gotten decent bids if it was on sale in a different setting.

Wow. What shitty penmanship.

How you know they're bad doesn't matter. You could be psychic, have had reviewed media coverage, or maybe they told you. In any case, you came to know they're bad guys. And I think we'd all be hesitant to do business with someone we considered bad.

Yes, you have to be willing to walk out on a bad deal. Too many people are scared of getting up. But it's really the most important thing in negotiating.

Let me play Devil's Advocate. Pretend you have a store selling widgets and a suspected murderer walks in. Do you do business and take his money or call up the Tip Hotline?

While you're generally correct about similar laws, you're specifically wrong about the Indiana version. That version has specific differences from the Federal and other states' versions, that explicitly allow Indiana businesses a "religious freedom" permission to discriminate. And since Indiana never gave gays civil…

Adults, especially those responsible for children, should know better. Shame on the nanny.

There's a word for people older than ten who pull pranks: assholes.

Necks as wide as heads, like neck tattoos, guarantee poor decision-making skills.

A neck as wide as the head is often a sign of poor decision-making abilities. Just like neck tattoos.

All experience is limited. That's the human condition, unfortunately. :)
