That's not how the trolley problem works.

You don't understand the trolley problem.

Or she would be in court with him. LOL

Young people are just so self absorbed these days. Sad state of affairs if you ask me.

Said every older generation about the younger generation in all of recorded and unrecorded history.

You'd be able to provide proof but don't.

Well, this does give me a small glimmer of hope about our country, even most magats love dogs. I mean even cat lovers can appreciate a person's love for a dog. Hating dogs is one of those things I simply will never understand. I can understand not wanting to own one or being temporarily annoyed by a dog, but for christ's sake a dog is well a dog, how can one not love unconditional love.

BTW, just as an aside, since this "article" presents no facts or links to documents one can assume that this is an opinion piece of pure fiction. The only links are to advocates for sexual predators, so umm yeah, trash thread from trash poster

How come I knew this was a lying pos thread

So many questions/observations

1. NEVER train a dog with a shock collar, that is cruelty
2. How did the dog "escape" the truck? Why was the dog not crated or have a leash?
3. Why would you travel with an untrained dog, that you believe is out of control?
4. Hating a dog is a sign of psychopathy imho.
5. Why kill the dog when the dog could be put up for adoption?
6. Republican solution to a problem? kill it.
7. Her daughter was dropped off at a gravel pit? She essentially killed the family pet in a place where her daughter got off the bus, like right afterward? Was the dog's carcass lying there?

I said in January 2021 that Biden should arrest ------- and throw him in Gitmo with a bunch of his compadres and dare the republicans to do something about it. This SC would have approved that action.

"If the protestors actions succeed in getting Biden to pressure Israel to stop the war in Gaza saving 10's of thousands of children?"
----, fool, if stopping the bombing is the goal...Maybe the protesters should be pressing the Jihadists in the US who support Hamas to release the Israeli prisoners. Y'know...rather than siding with Hamas.

You're arguing America should negotiate with terrorists?

You are aware we have and continue to demand their release, right?

careful ------------, all that straw can be dangerous to your health.

My point is, the protesters aren't even CONSIDERING as much. It's not like they believe in equal rights; on the contrary, the smallest of their wants is more important than everything and everybody else.

Seems we have a version of the trolley problem.

Mad bummer is unaware of examples yet doesn't believe privilege exists

Google wage theft son

Were the armed service members who were required to perform multiple tours of duty in war zones exploited?

85% of Americans hate their jobs

Either work unpaid overtime or you're fired

Happens all the time

Alternative jobs often simply don't exist

Getting fired can make getting another job nigh on impossible

This is reality

You do realize that not understanding exploitation is a form of privilege right?

To put it another way (and you have recognized that exploitation exists) you do realize that there are people who do not have the opportunity to "find another job". And that by definition means someone who has those opportunities is more privileged than someone who does not

You get that right?

But maybe you are onto something, I did look it up.

I never criticize anyone for learning something.

Though in some cases it is too little too late.

So, iow you can't answer my question. You post an insult than can't back it up. You double down on it.

A serious person would post some supporting arguments to a conclusion, you chose otherwise.

You're a nonsense person.

@#53 ... I believe that the protests are having some effect in the administration's rhetoric towards Israel, which would be a start. You are aware that there is massive disagreement in congress over aid to Israel, right? ...
And that relates to this bill ... how?

Did you follow the thread? Very long argument with Censored. Miranda responded calling me a fantasist, I responded.

AB 2742, as introduced, Sanchez. Emergency vehicles: penalties.
Existing law requires, upon the immediate approach of an authorized emergency vehicle that is sounding a siren and has a lighted lamp exhibiting red light, that a driver of a vehicle yield the right-of-way to the emergency vehicle, that the operator of a street car immediately stop the street car, and that all pedestrians proceed to the nearest curb or place of safety and remain there until the authorized emergency vehicle has passed.
Existing law makes a violation of that provision an infraction, punishable by specified fines.
This bill would prohibit a person driving a vehicle upon a highway or a pedestrian from willfully obstructing a highway, including in the course of a protest, in any manner that interferes with the ability of an authorized emergency vehicle to pass and would make a violation of this provision punishable by specified fines. By creating a new crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
...

At this point, I have no issue with this bill.

Are there penalties for emergency vehicles (i.e. cop cars) running over people? I would consider that murder or attempted murder myself.

Could you be more specific? I believe that the protests are having some effect in the administration's rhetoric towards Israel, which would be a start. You are aware that there is massive disagreement in congress over aid to Israel, right? Biden's pressure has had a positive effect on Netanyahu. Following the killing of the aid workers, Biden said let more aid in or the US would reconsider it's aid. Within 24 hours Israel quadrupled the aid into Gaza. Biden is certainly under pressure from many different directions-the protests are just one of those.

I honestly think my scenario is grounded deeply in fact, though the final goal of the 2 state solution is likely too ambitious at this point.

Though, admittedly, it is very hard to push Netanyahu to act in accordance with our wishes since he wants ------- to win in November and ALSO needs the conflict to continue to keep his corrupt ass out of jail.

But, Biden trying to walk a line between supporting Israel and criticizing Israel will be impacted by the protests.

I weep for my children.

I am too old for the fight, I won't be on the front line, though I suspect that should ------- win I will receive a knock on my door by a pasty faced Pecksniff at some point. There will be no one too small to fall under his gaze.

But since the Court didn't stick to the case at hand and let Trump's attorney run wild, let's consider some of the "it's gonna be wild" crap he entertained:
Abby D. Phillip
@abbydphillip
For the record, Trump's attorney John Sauer argues before the Supreme Court that depending on the circumstances, assassinating a political rival could be considered an official act.
Alyssa Farah Griffin
@Alyssafarah
I was in the Oval Office with Trump when he said a WH staffer he believed leaked an embarrassing story about him should be executed.
We may want to take this line of argument from Trump's attorney extremely seriously.

Do they understand that if this is decided before January 20, 2025 that Biden could order ------- killed?
