Holy shit, just, yes. That is (in essence) what you said:

Doubling down on the idiocy*, I see. You initiated this thread with a "constructed situation" - one that made no sense, even.

That is exactly what your original comment amounts to, as you offered what you personally feel makes the most sense as the preferred alternative for other people.

You are a complete and utter idiot*. YOU are the one who qualified proposals as "making uninformed decisions potentially based on a chemical imbalance" - I did not jam those words in your mouth.

...And...? How can asking someone if they want to get married become "outdated"? Even in your scenario, one person has to bring up the topic - i.e. propose the idea.

You need to clarify why you think that every single proposal ever made - or that ever will be made - is an "uninformed decision potentially based on a chemical imbalance". A proposal is not a decision, it is a proposal - and one does not need to be offered a proposal of marriage to make an "uninformed decision…

What the hell are you talking about?

If your point is that proposing marriage is akin to imposing human sacrifice or engaging in a duel (because of honor), your point is absurd.

Are you completely unfamiliar with the concept of "tradition"?

Dutch / Danish - same thing, right...?

I don't think Mr. White is the one who is looking childish / foolish here.

I was, and my statement holds true; that there were people taking photos does not mean those people were involved in the accident. If a celebrity tries to outrun paparazzi in a vehicle by speeding and driving irresponsibly, or other drivers are ignoring their responsibility as drivers and paying more attention to who…

Based on the photos, it appears much more likely that the Hummer was not in the turn lane. Given the weight difference (and whatever momentum the Hummer may have had behind it), do you seriously think the Lexus pushed the Hummer from the turn lane, across the left travel lane and into the right travel lane -…

Not true; there are ways to determine which car impacted the other first, and which driver bears what amount of responsibility.

Taking photos of an accident does not make one involved in the accident.

There is no evidence that the driver of the Hummer was negligent in any way.

Taking photographs of an event does not necessarily mean that the photographer is involved in the event.

"Following too closely" is definitely negligent, and can also be considered criminally negligent, depending on the case. Additionally, it frequently carries 100% of the contributory negligence in rear-end collisions (if no negligence on part of the leading vehicle's driver can be proven).

Drivers who rear-end vehicles in front of them are quite often (if not typically) found to be at fault, as it is their responsibility to follow at a safe distance in the event the car in front of them slows or stops quickly.

The fact that so many of these so-called judges refuse to do anything unless there is an explicit law stating exactly the thing happening = illegal is idiotic.
