    I remember when being punished as a child, you'd go to your room, and say stupid stuff along the lines of "i wish my mother fell off a cliff" or "i hope a bear mauls you dad". *with a hyperventilating voice*

    Never did i ever try to put my mother in jail for 9months. That's a little harsh :D
    Where’s the KABOOM?!?! There’s supposed to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!!!

    At least the judge had the sense to shut it down.

    If my dad had overheard me saying anything disparaging about my mom, he would have pushed me off of a cliff or gone out, rented a bear, and had it maul me.
    ..... there may have been some difficulty in renting a bear, so it probably would have been the cliff-toss thing. :)

    And that's the way it oughta be.

    NOTE: it would have been a friendly bear, though.

    Is there a business opportunity in rent-a-bears?

    I may have some resources available...

    Suing someone because they did something you didn't like? Sounds familiar.

    Mark, can I rent that Bear ? The x-wife is having a party....and I promise no harm will come to the Bear. ;)

    As far as this case goes....maybe the better question is, how the heck did they even agree to hear the case ? Talk about frivolous lawsuits....kid needs a smack upside the head.

    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    I think beatings need to come back. Kids these days are so damn soft.
    I didn't have to use that on my children as they never did anything to deserve it but I'm not against it. I grew up beatings first questions after the beatings where finished and I turned out just fine.
    Taking a phone away as punishment actually is a excellent move. Kids live on their phones so taking that is pretty harsh in their opinion. I know my kids damn near lost their minds when I used this. They didn't do what they lost their phone over ever again.

    Then they have to get back in line to get the new one...

    Why would anybody even find this worth posting.....lol.
    2 channel: Anthem 225 Integrated amp; Parasound Ztuner; TechnicsTT SL1350; Vincent PHO-8 phono pre; Marantz CD6005 spinner; Polk SDA2BTL's; LAT International speaker cables, ZU Mission IC's and power cables all into a PS Audio Dectet Power center.

    Other; M10 series II, M7C's, Hafler XL600 amp, RB-980BX, Parasound HCA-1500 amp , P5 preamp, all in storage. All vintage Polk have had crossover rebuilds and tweeter upgrades.

    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    Imagine making politics your entire personality.

    I simple illustration of how entitled the younger generations feel, but....not like we didn't know that already. Regardless, this is likely to dive straight down into the barrel of politics and should be closed.

    Sincerest apologies - I was simply trying to bring some humor and levity to the day. It won't happen again.

    Not a biggie, appreciate the effort. Only thing is politics is frowned on by management, so probably best to avoid anything that will stumble into it.
