Was on my lunch break and went to EB Games to buy Pokemon Y in a nearby mall. After eating and taking care of a few errands, I had about 15 minutes left to make the purchase and get back to work, which was more than enough time.

Fair point. Though since this is a regulation spanning the entire state of California, aren’t state income taxes forwarded to a state authority (whereas the IRS handles federal matters), or does the IRS handle the state taxes as well? If it’s the former, then it might be easy to have that information readily…

I’m aware, but those trusts and LLCs also have tax returns of their own. The government is well aware of where you get other sources of income, if it’s through dividend income, income from trusts or wherever. They would also check for loans from LLCs for an interest benefit. The IRS will check your bank statements in…

That’s why a percentage-based fine would cause them to be much more cautious. If they have more money than sense, then we can make them part with a lot of it until they learn sense or until the state is rich enough to buy an ocean full of Evian.

Your income could be determined as a weighted average of your income stipulated in your filed tax returns.

Are the rival faction of cab drivers murderously hostile now?

People like her just put the cart before the horse. They already have their own sense of morality/selfishness, and they interpret doctrine to suit them.

Fine people based on a function of their income.

D3 Rift Guardians say, “sup.” LOL

What’s there to debate? People’s lives should be considered less dispensable compared to professional ethics.

She has every right not to want sex from her husband. That is always her right no matter the circumstance. At that point, I’d say she should definitely see if she can obtain any outside support if it’s available and weigh the circumstances of leaving vs. not leaving because the environment at home might be unsafe for…

Very true. It’s a risky endeavour.

That’s not what I was implying at all.

I don’t know what irks me more - the fact that these guys have such disregard for women, or that they’re so fucking obvious about it and are too goddamn stupid to realize that public backlash would be swift and scathing for such a boneheaded stunt.

You’re absolutely right.

The interesting thing I’m seeing through much of the comments is that no one is talking about the outcome of these ladies being a result of racial prejudice. It seems everyone is arguing back and forth about wine train etiquette!

Have you been on a wine train before? We don’t have them up here as far as I know. I’m genuinely curious as to what they’re like and how people are actually are like on those things.

Valid point. I guess what I was getting at was that you’d have to imagine a scenario already in place where spouse A wants sex (and has not cheated thus far), but spouse B does not and that aside from the sex issue, all is well in the marriage. So A goes to B and asks for a means to have sex, though fears that the…

Definitely agree with what you’re saying.

If he is coming to his partner with that request instead of cheating, then it’s technically still an honest and faithful marriage. No rules were broken. Cheating means breaking the agreed upon rules. We shouldn’t propagate a stigma of non-monogamous relationships. In such a scenario, no choice is being taken away from…
