Thread: Local news on Covid 19

I would think an animal where would not see a problem paying for the damage their pet done. If mine wrecked someone’s car I would feel it’s my animal so I should have kept better control over it. It’s not a matter of should or will, that scenario is just plain the fact. Your responsible. Maybe a better example would be , I have a right to trash and burn a flag, but should I?

Yeah I get that but who is hurt by burning a flag? I think.you suck for it but I'm not injured by it. I guess my point is that if it is someone's pet, even though they are liable I can choose to see that they are damaged also so maybe I can forego my right and endure some damage myself

A better example is your 13 year old kid trashes someone's car and is caught. Should you pay for the damage?

In some places you are responsible but in most you're not and you can't sue a child.

Maybe not the best example in the world but take for instance this scenario. You're driving down the road and some kids dog gets off the leash and runs out in front of your car killing the dog and denting your fender? In Florida at least you have the right as a motorist to require the owner of the dog to repair your car but should you? I know I wouldn't. The problem with law or constitutional freedom is that we very often lose sight of the fact that it is intended to prevent oppression not so that we can think more about ourselves than others.

I have a plastic chain strung between two logs at the entrance to my drive.

The reason is that:

1) last year the yard waste guys took my logs so now it is obvious that the logs are there on purpose.
2) my drive is just dirt at the end and cars (or more often trucks) turn around in my drive, it wouldn't matter but after the rain my drive is very soft and i don't want tire tracks in it so I have to spend all my time raking to try and get it smooth again.

I might be completely wrong but, I have been led to believe that if someone decided to play jump my plastic chain and landed badly on my property hurting themselves. I could be held responsible for the injured trespasser and end up compensating him!

I heard a story about a burglar that fell through someones skylight while trying to break in, he sued the homeowner. Surely that must be rubbish, please tell me it's rubbish.

It might or might not be rubbish.

Did you see the newest study from Stanford ???

No you didn't because not ONE MSM source picked it up

Shhhhhh Don't tell anyone

Quick deny that science

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7680614/


I posted the study first rather than the link to any article because I am sure the articles will be attacked hehehehe

Funny Fact, this was what all the tests showed BEFORE 1/1/20 also

That is the best description of a Totalitarian Government I have seen in some time, thank you for making the Nanny State attitude so clear

That was really interesting and very useful but, consider this before you decide whether you even want to be protected:


In 20 years our countries could be in the hands of someone that was home-schooled by a day drinker

Thank you for that useful Wikipedia piece Bob.

It sounds like I could be responsible if my chain looks like fun to a kid, but if an adult is stupid enough to try to jump it, it's his lookout.

But what would happen if say in the dark an adult coming to my house legitimately tripped over it (it's only 18" high)?

Would that be my problem, if so how can anyone do anything to their property for fear of someone suing you?

Can I even have my house and yard sprayed for spiders, a dog might sniff my grass and get ill, even with signs out is it still my problem?

You are welcome. Funny what one recalls from a high school class over 50 years ago but can't remember what you had for breakfast. I'm not a lawyer or a judge so have no answers at all. Nobody can be fault proof but all you can do is try the best you can. With that and some luck most of us will never have to worry about it.
