The righteous are generally annoying, whether they are right or wrong.

I didn't write an entire list of reasons why you shouldn't take a baby to a bar because I assumed it was common sense. And you also apparently failed to read my initial post where I distinguished between restaurants which have bars vs. an establishment that is just a bar. But, I'm happy to give you a list of…

Well, in a lot of states, it's actually illegal for anyone under 21 to be in a bar. That would include babies. So, I guess that if you really want something to point to, you could look at the laws. But, other than that, I can't believe I'm actually having a conversation with someone who thinks it's appropriate to…

Just because I did not go through the entire negligence analysis to actually determine whether the university would ultimately be found liable in court does not mean that there is not a basis for this woman to sue. She may not win in the end, but there is law at least supporting her claim. And it didn't get…

I think that's a good analysis. You walked through the requirements of liability, and there's a good chance that the university wins in courts according to your analysis. But my point is that surely you can understand why the woman sued. It is something that occurred on university property. It's not an off-campus…

It's not a good analogy. An analogy would be if a stranger assaulted someone in Safeway after Safeway had been told that strangers were assaulting people regularly in Safeway. Yes, generally, there is no liability for the act of a third party. But if you know that third parties have committed the same crime…

I am a lawyer. I'm a civil defense lawyer. Are you?

Whether they have police is not the issue here. They are property owners who are aware of a hazardous situation on their property. They have failed to fix it and they absolutely could foresee the fact that women were going to get drugged and raped as a result. You could change the scenario however you want (there's…

I read "campus parties" to mean "on-campus" parties. In that sense, the university is going to be liable just like any other property owner. If it knows about a danger and has failed to do something about it, then it's going to be partly at fault. Just as any property owner would be. As for off-campus parties, I…

If there is a problem with women getting drugged and raped at on-campus parties, then the university has a duty to try to stop it. It's the same as saying that any property owner has a duty to try to protect people on its property. It's a simple solution: ban on-campus parties if you cannot police them. The…

You realize that they have campus police right? Who patrol the university? And I absolutely disagree with you that if there is a problem with on-campus parties, the university is absolutely responsible. The solution is simple here: if there is a problem with women getting drugged and raped at on-campus parties,…

I think your point is somewhat valid. But, a university is required to enforce the law. And I think here the point is that the university knew illegal activities were taking place, enough so to warn people about said activities, but did nothing to prevent the activities. It's like saying that the university knows…

Stories like this make me so happy to live in the state with the most liberal assisted suicide laws. No affidavit required. No record required. Just a decision between you and your physician. People have the right to privacy and that includes the right to die.

Are you kidding me? No, I don't do a lot of day-drinking. But when I am in a bar, typically at night, I should not have to deal with babies or children. Is it that hard of a concept to understand? Bringing babies to a bar is inappropriate. I try to be conscious of people and situations around me, which is why I…

I appreciate the distinction at the end in the sense that there are restaurants which have a bar area. So long as the baby is not in the bar area, I see no reason why a baby can't be at the restaurant. But, I'm sorry, I do not think a baby should ever be in a bar. And it's not because I think people are bad parents…

To be fair, an anti-discrimination law is extremely dangerous to his bigoted view of the world. Halp! You're endangering my right to be an asshole!

People who zealously practice their religion are always the first ones who cry "religious freedom" when others want to practice a different religion or choose not to practice any religion. Religious freedom does not mean that the state only recognizes and supports your religion. It applies to everyone, asshats.

Yeah, he's more concerned about the fact that his rules were broken than the effect of his daughter's actions or the effect of his punishment. I mean, for example, the fact that she was dating an older boy is a big red flag and he should be concerned about what has occurred with said boy (including whether the boy…

Also, I failed to address this in my other comment, but you don't have to prove "inconvenience" to prove a violation of rights. Involuntary detainment is always inconvenient. I don't know how you could argue that it's not. She's literally sitting in a tent all day without freedom to leave. If I lock you up in a…

According to this article, she has a "portable" toilet but no shower. I guess that's humane? In any case, she has also tested negative twice for Ebola. I get that your point is she could still get sick. Which is why I have no problem with them having a mandatory self-imposed quarantine, which is what was originally…
