And you’ve been on the SDMB since 1999? Heavens to Murgatroyd…
LOL, good point.
I never gloated about how smart I was. I just actually know what I’m talking about. I know that’s a foreign concept to a lot of people here but that’s really how it’s supposed to work. That’s how all this started, with people talking out of their ass about things they know nothing about. You know, like stupid people do. Like you seem to be doing.
Still a moron with nothing else huh? You never seem to quite get to actual evidence that anything I’ve said is wrong (it’s not) or admit how you were completely wrong (you were). Instead like the moron you are you throw around terms like “projection” without realizing the irony. We are discussing a legal case you fucking moron. I have the relevant degree and experience. You do not. That’s the key fucking difference you seem to keep ignoring. I have no need to “project” anything, my degree is real, my knowledge is real. You on the other hand have neither but still insist you’re right and I’m wrong without even coming close to citing a single logical reason why. Guess what they call that? Go on, guess
Yes. From the link in the OP:
So, yes, Fox could be in a world of hurt if someone was allowed to proceed to trial on defamation claims that were based on allegations that had no basis in reality.
The court has ruled that before you can sue “for defamatory accusations of taunting and physical assault” there have to actually be accusations of taunting and physical assault. A different ruling would hurt all media. Is anyone arguing otherwise?
You are right. That’s how this all started. The first sentence of your first post in this thread was…
So, right out of the gate talking out of your ass about things you know nothing about.
Projection. It’s not just a river in Egypt.
I’d pay good money to watch.
It’s ALWAYS the Left’s fault. Even when it isn’t.
Don’t hold your breath.
Ya know, there IS a thing called “picking your fights”.
Some things are worth it, and some are just fucking stupid.
Good!!!
Exactly.
Well shit. It was bullshit the FIRST time around. When the little fucker loses, he and his mommy should be forced to bear ALL the court costs and ALL the lawyer bills (for BOTH sides).
I see what you did there. BTW, I knew what was being discussed here just from the name of the thread. IE: “Smirkey McDouchebag”=Sandman.
That’s a common request for tort reform in the US, to make the loser liable to pay the other side’s legal fees. That is especially called for when discussing frivolous lawsuits.
The reason why it isn’t done is that it makes corporations and other large organizations even more powerful. It’s great legislation if you enjoy the idea of a total corporate takeover of society. People will really be intimidated not to go up against big business if they know they are liable for so much if they lose.
Yes, and yet we NEED some way to stop frivolous “spite work” lawsuits.
Dim lightbulb moment : couldn’t a percentage-of-total-wealth penalty system work, possibly coupled with an incremental percentage by median income similar to progressive taxation ? That way the poor actually get to launch effective cases against the powerful, while the powerful are discouraged from threatening extortionate suits against “little people” ? And at the same time also possibly discouraging the “lawsuits factored in as cost of doing business” models of various toxic corporate practices ?
(I preempitvely decline responsibility for that post if it turns out to be completely stupid, on account of I’m pretty drunk)
Congratulations. You have registered your support for white supremacy. Someone give this worthless piece of shit a participation trophy.
In your world, simply updating a thread with current events is supporting white supremacy. I don’t know Projammer from a hole-in-the-wall, but his only post in this thread was to provide, without comment, updated information on the thread’s subject.
