Heatlamps will probably know better, but... In many states, (and I only know WA and MD, so) there is the concept of ‘contributory negligence’, which is exactly what you are asking about. If a plaintiff sues for negligence, but it comes to light that plaintiff contributed 51% or more to the liability of the accident,…

I hear you, Fellow Law Person.

Yeah that’s why it’s called vehicular homicide in a lot of states. Yes, someone died, and that is a tragedy; but when there is no intent it’s pretty awful to label someone a ‘killer’. No decent person involved with a vehicular ever really gets over that, I would think.

Okay I really don’t understand this. This is not rocket surgery. For me, the N word is just...not my word to use, for lack of a better phrase.

Laughing at that comment is not something I’m proud of I’m afraid. And I’m not sure which comment you are referring to as ‘low-grade concern troll’, but if it came off that way it wasn’t intended. I try to be sincere, supportive, or at least funny around here, but some times I miss the mark. Sorry I offended you.

Bryan Lourd is Billie’s father, who came out of the closet years ago and is now happily married. Debbie Reynolds, Billie’s grandmother, dated Tab Hunter way back in the day. Hunter was a very popular actor, in a slick blonde beach guy kind of way. That was when leading men absolutely could not come out (studios would…

Yeah, and I think he is hella conservative too. He had a gig near Seattle in the Navy town of Bremerton (a conservative town), where even there his conservative rants made the local papers.

I think this is really fast but only because I wanted to date him, so.

I absolutely laughed right out at this comment, startling the cat and totally making my day.

Hey now - let’s just hold up. Back in 1975 I lived with my grandma in Small Town, Texas and I clearly remember her telling me, “In my day, ladies didn’t show their shoulders, and only cheap women wore open-toed shoes.” SO THERE. If it was good enough in the 1930s it should be good enough now.

Xactly.

Not asshole-ish at all. I’d be shocked if the rest of the world WASN’T laughing at us. It’s mortifying.

I myself wouldn’t mind seeing Chuck Schumer cavorting.

Or include links to such, so we can contribute somehow. I’d like to see Jezebel do that too. We read so many ethically/morally/legally outrageous posts regarding the state of the country on these sites, but left with no outlet to do some good. Just my extra two cents.

SIGH. Yeah I hate to dump on these kids. We need all the hope and positive action (even if a little naive) we can get right now in this fucked up country.

This is accurate.

Yeah will probs be rough to finally earn that kind of dosh, after a long lifetime of work, and then be too old to enjoy it. Sad face.

That’s good to hear. I hope he will give back in some way - that’s an insane amount of money.

One being he LIED about his bisexuality, not that he WAS bisexual. That’s how I read it.

Yes, they are worth it. It may take some time to find the right RX and dosage, but they can be lifesaving. You just have to be patient while they ramp up to efficacy, and watch for side effects.
