Yes it can, but to make the statement that negligence and/or intentional tort are illegal would get a big spanking for a 1L.
That’s hot.
Good thing I’m not a 1L. Besides, the distinction is lost on laymen, especially idiot laymen. I’m not going to take the time to present a treatise on the various terms pertaining to legal culpability when “illegal” conveys to the layman just fine that yes, you have to pay for that vase you just drop kicked out the window.
So you bitch at Mr. Krebbs for his mention of “fine” and then make equally glaring errors yourself. That’s not very professional of you.
actually, that was me.
It seems that sparky did too, even quoting Black’s Law Dictionary.
For all practical top level discussions of right vs wrong and getting in trouble vs not IMnonlawyerO the loose definition of “illegal” is quite adequate…with “illegal” meaning you could well be paying fines handed out by the legal system or find youself in small claims or other court and the legal system telling you what to do should you be found “guilty”.
How about cars your company leased? Could one experiment, say to see how far an '81 Cutlass would fly after hitting a raised railroad crossing at speed?
Did anyone mention the fact that, currently, Diesel is just as costly as gasoline?
Only if you work for the Mythbusters.
I like to rent cars because they give me a quiet roomy place to indulge my electronics hobby. I used to practice on planes, but for some stupid reason they kick up an ignorant fuss when anyone with a brain can see that all my little wires and such are perfectly harmless.
You do have to consider if he rents the car to experiment, he may use other parts of the car less too than other renters such as mileage that others put on. Just like renting a motorcycle to jump over barrels for a prize, hey I put just 2 miles on it and the tank is still full and all that. A cross country trip would just have worn different parts down they would have to replace sooner.
There may be some value to him making a discovery that helps us to use less gas later too. I mean someone injected a sick person with old bread mold and hey it worked, discovered penicillin you know.
The whole point of his experiment, if it is to have any validity at all (and of course he is too fucking stupid to realize it really won’t) would be to put as many “piss in the fuel tank” miles on the doomed rental car under as many conditions as possible.
So, no, your point has virtually no validity, with perhaps thefpossibility that the back seat may suffer less mileage due to his lack of hiring hookers to ply their trade in the back seat.
Penicillin was discovered in a petri dish, not by direct injection.
When I read this I shrieked out loud, slammed my laptop shut, tied a chain around it and threw it right into the Ganges River. I then gouged my eyes out with a fork so I wouldn’t have to read anything like it ever again.
Has that fuckwad revealed which rental company he got the car from? Do we know his location? I would love to tip them off about what this criminal is doing.
You might be the stupidest person on this forum now. I just wanted you to know that.
I’m sorry Starving Artist. No one wears the crown forever.
what you talkin, willis? He’s doing the rental car company a favor. By screwing up the engine and nothing else, he’s given them a bunch of spare parts!
duuuuh.
No, but Bah…
He isnt going to even do it cause the panhandlers union aint going to be able to scrape up enough cash. And if he does do it most likely it won’t do any damage or it WILL and they WILL catch his ass.
I suppose there is a narrow range where it would do damage but he won’t get caught. But between the probablility of him never trying it and the low chance he will do damage but not get caught it aint worth going all internet CSI on his ass IMO.
Only (by request) because I have Westlaw and it’s easier to cut and paste from there.
Also because the stockboy was being dickish.
