the only thing that does is make sure the team with the most money is the only one that wins.

I’m a staunch privacy advocate in all cases because for every seemingly harmless app like this one, we get nutbags like the public safety advocate who wrote into one of our local papers advocating that everyone should have to share the contents of their car’s data recorder every day to determine whether they should be…

Why not? How is that different than me changing the station on my touch screen radio or scrolling the map on my touch screen navigation?

That’s cutting off your nose to spite your face. This will not do any more to prevent texting than MAKING IT ILLEGAL does.

There’s also the idea that any type of wreck could allow authorities to access information from drivers’ phones. Lieberman told the AP that he doesn’t want to be responsible for proposing privacy-infringing legislation, but that he also “[doesn’t] want to bury another child.”

No pictures? An article about detailed artwork with no pictures?????

and not take a chance at winning a NICE car for only $1500?

Much ado about nothing. Raffle is held, lady purchases a ticket, she wins the car. Doesn’t really matter who she is, as she stepped up with the money for the tickets.

She bought tickets, same as everyone. They could have drawn the number on the 6 o’clock news (with her ticket taped to the bottom of the bowl) and there would still be a thousand butthurt losers. Whatever. Get over it. She still gets the car. The “center” got their money like the donor intended, at least. That was the…

I used to belong to a local rotary club, that did a big raffle every year. Top prize was a choice between $15,000, a boat, or a 3 year lease on a BMW. We sold 2,000 @ $20 each. Each member was required to sell 10 tickets, with the rest usually sold at a local festival we sponsor. Many members, rather than push the…

And the Anonymous People of the Internets get outraged, outraged!, upon taking a first glance at the situation and expressing themselves to be the shitty people they are. You mean companies do good for their communities? Impossible! We all know companies are evil entities which steal from hard working people like…

I don’t care who wins the car as long as it was done so without any dishonest tactics. Nothing was mentioned but having the wife of the General owner does raise some eyebrows.

In a court of law, they are entirely relevant. Victim blaming is when you blame someone who is blameless. For instance a woman who was raped and someone mentions what she was wearing (because wearing something doesn’t cause rape). Walking onto a hot race track can result in your death and you should know this.

It absolutely matters if he was high, and it has nothing to do with what he “deserved.” If he’s high that speaks to recklessness as well as unpredictability.

“It doesn’t matter if Ward should have been out of his car (he shouldn’t have been) and it doesn’t matter if he was high out of his mind. Neither of those infractions would seem to justify or excuse Tony Stewart running him over.”

“I’m not sure I understand why the presence of marijuana would be relevant even if there was enough to cause impairment. Being high does not mean one deserves to get run over.”

What good does it do you to carry an unloaded gun?

1) firing a firearm into the air is illegal. even in the great state of texas.

<calls entire country stupid while using poor/lazy grammar and questionably cohesive sentences>

I’m not going to get in to whether this as a whole was a safe or reasonable approach but of all the potential pitfalls, an airport miles away is not even close to the top of that list.
