Yes. There is a case like the example s/he gave. I can't think of the name, but it's discussed in law school criminal law classes. I believe there's also one involving a ladder (i.e. a crime occurred and the guy somehow fell off the ladder). I handled a felony murder case where a passenger of a vehicle was charged…

This isn't correct. A person can be charged when a police officer kills someone if they're responsible for the crime or aiding and abetting the person responsible for the crime.Anyone involved is responsible for all actions that occur and that were reasonably expected/anticipates to occur. For example, someone…

Local place. They were definitely crowded, but I think that's pretty standard for this restaurant due to it's location and it being 6:00-7:30 when we were there.

We got there at 6 & left by 7:30. I'd say we were there for about 25-30 minutes before we received our main course. We stayed there for about 15-20 minutes after eating, but we also ordered drinks & were finishing them up.

For those who worked in the food service industry...what's the standard amount of time you think people should stay at a table to enjoy their dinner & chat a bit? I was at a dinner a few weeks ago & felt like the wait staff was rushing us out of the restaurant as they sent 5 different people over to grab completely…

Articles like these are like a freaking bat call to the overly obsessed car seat people. Sheesh. It's amazing how some people become a parent and get their Ph.D. in Judgy Know-It-All. It's like they have Google Alerts set & a Word doc full of links to send people. Tone it down, folks. People don't listen to you when…

I dated a guy similar to this. He claimed he'd slept with about 200 women, and I 100% believe him. He always claimed it was due to his ultra high libido and "big penis." He also mentioned that he frequently went to prostitutes years ago, but he wrote that off as "military behavior." He had major issues with women and…

I find McDs coffee repulsive. It doesn't even taste like coffee. I heard someone else say, "McDs coffee is for people who don't really like coffee." I kind of agree. McDs is for the watered-down Folger's crowd. That's not saying Sbux is amazing; it's not. But, McDs? Nope.

I felt the same way. A friend told me it was "the most impactful thing she's ever seen." So, of course, I watched it. I wanted to scream! It's full of so much inaccuracy and so many logical fallacies.

I think "modest" means a 15-year-old should dress like a 15-year-old and not a grown adult. Has nothing to do with temptation and avoiding the male gaze. Also, the clothes she wears & picked out for her daughter are fairly standard with normal clothes. It's not unreasonable to want your child's ass cheeks covered up…

Here it is. 33 minutes of bullshit. FYI - it's an abortion is like the holocaust movie. I hate watched it & wanted to punch my computer screen.

She doesn't bother me either. She's not overbearing. I'm okay toward her. I don't have a problem with people voicing their views in a nice appropriate way. She hasn't gone full on cray. Also, I read this awhile back—a post she wrote about shopping for decent clothes for her teenage daughter—she says modest; I say…

Is that guy next to Kirk the same wack-job in that anti-abortion video that's promoted off every interstate in the Midwest & South? Something about 180 movie (possibly the name)? If so, that guy is an extra special kind of nuts.

I've read a few articles about this, and every time I've read "conscious" as "conspicuous." I have no idea why, and clearly this adds nothing to the conversation. But...I guess "conspicuous" still applies.

This isn't a customer story, but a waitress story. We were at some crappy buffet restaurant we found off the highway during a family roadtrip. My dad asked for coffee. The waitress replied, "Would you like cups, too?" My dad a tad shocked at first replied, "Naw...thought I'd chug it out of the pot." Then, I had an…

I wasn't able to let my guard down until I was done with the relationship. I spent so much time trying to figure out what was going on in his head, and it was exhausting. When we would start having serious conversations, I could see him shutdown further than he already was. It got to a point the last 4 months where…

This happened with my last boyfriend. After 8 months of trying, I eventually just ended it. We had this amazing instant spark. We had so much in common, we got along very well, amazing physical chemistry, and he treated me so well. About 4 months into the relationship, he pulled away. To this day I have no idea what…

Same here. I only kept watching it, b/c I felt like I wasn't getting something since it was critically acclaimed. I finally finished it. Still...just "eh."

I think these are just typical work place topics. I'm an educated person. I have a JD. I also had to look up one of the words you mentioned, because I have never in 30+ years heard it. When I was working in a place with no privacy (read: actual offices), I talked about the stupidest stuff (Dancing with the Stars, J.…

Glad I'm not alone. The movie seems all over the place, and I just don't care about the characters. When I don't care about the characters, I can never get into the movie. I've been pausing it & restarting it for about 8 hours now. Luckily, I only paid $3.99.
