Somebody writes, ‘I hear it’s R-rated!’ And then everybody writes it up.”

The issue with Captain Marvel isn’t the film (which isn’t released yet and can’t be judged by its merits), but its marketing approach (marketing it as a feminist movie) and statements by its lead actress. If you browse a bit through popular comics and geek related channels on youtube that are critical of this…

Same way I make mine work when I tell people I was a tunnel rat in ‘Nam.

Rating it R would lock out a bunch of girls who might be excited to see it but are also not old enough to go see it if it were rated R. She can still kick ass in a PG-13 movie, see literally every movie she’s been in so far.

Civil forfeiture without a conviction for a related crime is theft. PERIOD!
All the officials involved should be prosecuted for larceny with resulting jail sentences if convicted. This must become the law in every state to end the abusive thefts from those not convicted of crimes.

Someone asked me if I thought this ruling might have an effect on the cash bail system and I said it might. You might be able to be use this opinion in arguments that any requirement for cash bail is an excessive fine and/or the amount of cash bail required is excessive for the nature of the crime.

I’m all for this program - as slong as no one is bringing their bullshit “therapy animal” with them.

Emily, you left some very important information out of this article. We distribute these passes through the USGS in partnership with the National Parks. You can mail the paper application OR purchase these passes very easily online through store.usgs.gov/access-pass. Please contact either the NPS or USGS Store to…

Btw, on the guy with the Land Rover. If he was under water on that car, they wouldn’t have taken it. When they take it, they’re responsible to pay off any liens.

It wasn’t split when this push started, and it doesn’t really matter that the governor is a Dem now since this has to start in the legislature. Republicans are pushing all across the country for asset foreiture reform to varying degrees.

So, asset foreiture has been one of the very few things that has become bipartisan at the state level.   Read up on it.  My state legislature (MI) is currently passing a bill that would require a conviction to seize assets, and it’s already made it through one of the GOP-controlled houses.

Honestly I believe this is one area where there is significant agreement between conservatives and liberals. I’m amazed there hasn’t been more legislative action on it...

Good. I don’t care so much if the profits of illegal activities are taken as part of an actual conviction, but just shaking people down on the legal theory that the property itself is guilty of the crime is a misrepresentation of the original problem - that is, when no one would acknowledge being the owner of a pirate…

no. that’s my point. As a nation we generate an insane amount of money in tax revenues every year and yet our federal government finds a way to waste it on bullshit projects.  

That’s why we pay taxes.  

“Because the parks want to incentivize people to come and buy things inside the parks.”

And if so, why isn’t my fat ass with type 2 considered disabled. Instead I have to work for a living and walk my fat ass from the back of the parking lot.

Because the parks want to incentivize people to come and buy things inside the parks. Lots of people with disabilities or a child who is disabled have low income due to the costs of all the treatments and therapies or from being unable to work. This is helpful and makes the parks more accessible to people who could…

How the fuck does Type 1 diabetes qualify as a disability? Disorder or disease yes, disability no.

I don’t think that just because you are disabled, physically, mentally, or sensorially, you should get free lifetime access to the NPS, including everyone you stuff in the same vehicle with you! Why? Why should someone with say Type 1 get free access? Or anyone else with some sort of disability? We all pay taxes and…
