True but if the carbon tax people get their way, these people are
going to be moving anyway.

That'd be Malfoy Manor, and you shouldn't try to act stupid, as if you
don't know what he means. You know what he means, and you don't have
to try. You're very convincing.

I'm done with you again, until I'm not.

Eight days in hospital, with skin grafts, hot.

When you are 70 years old, and a coffee drinker, you should have
learned coffee is hot. And not be so stupid as to take off the
protective lid and place the cup in your crotch as your son drives over
the curb leaving McD's. And the $24million was reduced to about 1.4
million. After medical and legal costs, I bet she had enough to buy a
senior coffee at McD's.

We're all eternally grateful that you're not in the legal profession, a
judge, or qualified to sit on a jury.

Unlike you, I am qualified to sit on a jury, and have a couple times.

Unlike me? There's no bar for an attorney to sit on a jury. Feel free to
prove otherwise.

What Bilious is saying here is that if you put a mirror in front of his
mouth, he might be able to fog it...and thus qualify for jury duty.

I suspect that if he were called for jury duty and the case involved
anything during the voir dire about his ability to be objective, say
because the defendent was a minority, he would get booted.

So you are racist also. Have served on armed robbery case. Minority. Have
served on a couple civil cases, one was minority. Hell, the minority group
got screwed by the attorney's. Both sides. Was a legal malpractice case.
The Attorneys settled without the plaintiff. A minority church group.
Screwed originally by their attorney giving bad advice, and then by the next
attorney making a deal with the former attorney. Been called for 3 murder 1
cases. Defense excused me because I figured that those using a gun in a
crime should spend a long time in jail, ala Richmond, VA. Black judge liked
me and I liked him. As to racism. I figure you and Harry never associate
with minorities in a friendly enviroment.

Better than you who probably uses their belly.

I think you're going to have to explain how someone uses a belly to "hold"
a cup of coffee. I could see trying to balance a cup of coffee that way,
but even my stomach muscles aren't developed enough to hold the cup.
Perhaps you can get Arnold to hold it that way? Try again Mr. MaGoo!

Nope, you hold the coffee and steer with your belly. Probably sticks out

I saw Thunder's post and he is guessing too.
Somebody show me a side by side test with a regular cheap aluminum
prop (not even some special high performance SS) and I will be
convinced.
My bet, at least a 10% decrease in performance on a barge like mine
and probably more like 25% a performance boat. There is no accident
props are made like they are. This is a century old technology and
they improve them every year, basically by doing the opposite of what
this guy is doing. (thinner blades, sharper edges) That is why people
spend the money for stainless steel. It is hard enough to hold that
edge. Guys spend $50-100 bucks to get them cleaned up when they get
tiny dings in them.

I am not even convinced that if you actually hit someone in the water
it would make that much difference. It is a lot easier to knock the
arm out of the way, from the side, in free air. Would you try it? None
of this would affect going straight into the prop.


But, you're not guessing... no way. You have the FACTS. Sure.

I am not guessing about why props are made the way they are or the
fact that things don't move out of the way as easy in water as they do
in air. We are really only guessing about how well you would survive a
real world strike from this prop in the water.
The inventor sure isn't demonstrating that or even presenting some
kind of anecdotal evidence.


I was discussing the difference in performance. I don't think anyone would
do well getting hit by a propeller.

So now what, will this become a safety standard of the industry that
props should have guards?

The blame is partly with the insurance industry. They have frequently
taken the short sighted view that it is cheaper to settle some of
these claims than it is to fight them. That's probably true for any
one case but the long term effect is to set expensive precedents.

Yep. But also begets higher rates and more profit.

Mystifies me how they could lose this case. Even dumb as nails jury
can't
be this stupid.

Brunswick shoul counter sue the driver and the swimer. Make their lives
hell.

And now, straight from Rush/Beck's sitcom, we have nucknuck who doesn't
like
the jury system.

I think competance has something to do with it. Minimum reading skills,
college or university...

Would not want to be a innocent defendant facing a jury that could only
think of fried chicken and your skin color (either way).

Why don't we have a literacy test at the polling place. How about a poll tax
to ensure they are true capitalists. Or, how about you can only vote if
you're a landowner.

I guess all the voters who elected Mr. Obama were only thinking about his
skin color (the black voters), since the Republican party has made such
great strides in race relations of late.

We would be talking about H.R. 2454 (the cap and tax bill) that just
passed the house and is sitting in the senate as we speak.

There are lots of things in there that will get people who think the
government is out of control mad.
Coal miners will be out of work fairly quickly, taxed out of the
market. but there is also an interesting thing floating around the
internet. You will have to get an energy star label for your house
before you can sell or refinance it (inspections and 30 more pages of
bureaucracy I haven't waded through yet)
The internet story is you can't sell your house without being
certified but I don't see that language yet

If you want some light reading take a peek

I couldn't get the link to work... I seriously doubt one's home would be
required to have an energy star label like my fridge does.

I have never been called for a criminal trial but one time I got
called for a malpractice case. They asked me how I felt about torts. I
was under oath, what else could I say. I said
"Lawyers doctors and Insurance Companies are a financial perpetual
motion machine that raises the cost of everything we buy and restricts
everything we do."
I was out in the car a few minutes later. There was a motion to pull
in a new jury pool as I was leaving.
It probably had to do with the number of people either nodding or
laughing and clapping.
I haven't been called back.

Thanks for not lying. Another way to get out of jury duty is to compliment
one or the other attorneys about their clothes, e.g., a tie.
