SF doesn't speak "legalese" fluently (or at all for that matter) enough to contribute to a debate on this topic, but my first thought is that the user should be the one that assumes all risk when using a product. Except that when a consumer uses a product in the legal manner it was intended and designed for, then the factory warranty would apply and liability would stem from there.

Last week and through the weekend most of the media played the "Trump rhetoric fueled the NZ shooter and white nationalists" card as hard as they could, totally ignoring the shooter's own manifesto where he somewhat supported Trump "BUT" https://thehill.com/policy/international/434238-new-zealand-suspect-wrote-in-manifesto-he-supported-trump-as-a-symbol-of “As a symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose? Sure. As a policy maker and leader? Dear god no.” .......Now the idea floated that Chelsea Clinton is somehow responsible: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/03/16/new-zealand-shooting-chelsea-clinton-blamed-attack/3184870002/ indicates to SF that New Zealand is pretty surprised by the backlash stemming from the immigration policies of the past decade and is looking to place blame anywhere else but themselves......And the US media in all it's anti-Trump rage is very eager to oblige...... SF is struck how in the recent past 5 years or so of the Muslim (ISIS or others) terrorist attacks that happen so frequently are largely ignored.....

1) Do not equate the actions of the lord to the actions of the US Government. 2) Actually, Jesus was able to take 5 loaves of bread and 2 fishes and fed 5,000 people that he was preaching to.........It's what the bible calls a "MIRACLE".....Not a government handout....... 3) Prime example of why SF doesn't discuss the bible with an atheist...... 4) Yeah I know - it's just a meme........but.....

You seem to forget the "fauxahontas" scandal.......Had something to do with college.....Not a big deal - that's the joke.......HAGW as well sir.....

Gonzo - THIS: is a JOKE......

Actually NZ has MUCH stricter gun laws than the US. BTW - SF wasn't aware the NRA even exists in NZ.......

You mean like the guy whose YACHT that Lori Loughlin's daughter was on when mom got arrested? The poor USC guy? That guy?

And it gets even more outrageous...... https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/lori-loughlins-daughter-was-in-usc-officials-yacht-when-mother-was-charged Lori Loughlin's daughter Olivia Jade Giannulli was spending spring break on a University of Southern California official's yacht when her mother was accused Tuesday of involvement in a college admissions scheme, reports said. Giannulli, 19, was on Rick Caruso's luxury yacht Invictus in the Bahamas, a report said. Caruso is chairman of USC's Board of Trustees. "Once we became aware of the investigation, the young woman decided it would be in her best interests to return home." — Rick Caruso, chairman of USC's Board of Trustees Ya think???

A video of Oprah interviewing a young Donald Trump. Sounds like the same message as today......Back when Dukakis was running...... https://www.youtube.com/embed/MOKi5YeNtRI?fbclid=IwAR2ufTN9q6TRC9TvQLF273WnCVtJ9MXcK4aSvc27miOLxcrKI9-6dnoS9B0

Wouldn't it be racist for someone to consider me (a white male) supreme, or privileged just because of the color of my skin and not how I treat other human beings??

https://www.investigativeproject.org/7847/sarsour-and-her-islamist-entourage-protect Anti-Semitic activist Linda Sarsour on Wednesday ordered people associated with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) to physically block former Wall Street Journal journalist and Muslim Reform Movement leader Asra Nomani from entering U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib's (D-Mich) office. Nomani, a longtime CAIR critic, posted video of the encounter. Sarsour is overheard in Arabic telling her crew to block Nomani's entry. "Don't let her [Nomani] be one of the first ones in. Do you all hear me? Come stand here. Don't let her be one of the first ones in." The video shows Sarsour with CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad, Ahmed Bedier – former director of CAIR's Tampa chapter – and CAIR's Government Affairs Director, Robert McCaw. The group was on Capitol Hill to lobby against a resolution condemning anti-Semitic statements from Tlaib's colleague, U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar even though the resolution does not name Omar. From its creation, CAIR was part of a Hamas-support network called the Palestine Committee. Awad was featured on a list of Palestine Committee officials whose mission, the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found, was to "support Hamas from abroad." Sarsour has espoused anti-Semitic smearsworse than Omar's and advocates for one-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict – meaning Israel would be eliminated. Rejecting Israel's existence is a form of anti-Jewish bigotry according to the State Department's definition of anti-Semitism. "I am an unapologetic pro-BDS, one-state solution supporting resistance supporter here in the U.S.," Sarsour told an audience at the Islamic Society of North America's (ISNA) annual convention in September, the Investigative Project on Terrorism exclusively reported. These are the types of characters who meet privately with Rashida Tlaib to defend Ilhan Omar. Criticism and condemnation rained down last month on Omar, a Minnesota Democrat, after she tweeted, "It's all about the Benjamins baby" to explain why she and fellow Tlaib draw attention for their "criticisms of Israel." Who is the source of this popular reference to cash? "AIPAC!" Omar added, referring to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. Facing serious backlash from many in her party, Omar issued a caveated apology. Omar has since doubled down on purveying anti-Semitic tropes, by depicting support for Israel as a form of dual allegiance. From the outset, Omar and Tlaib's Islamist backers immediately came to their defense. Wednesday's footage shows these radical supporters will not back down. Yeah, she's not anti-semantic......She's just debating......That's what HAMAS and CAIR are really all about.....Getting along.....

https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/11/politics/donald-trump-daylight-saving-time/index.html Washington (CNN)After losing an hour of executive time to "springing forward" his clock an hour over the weekend, President Donald Trump voiced his support Monday to eliminate states' legal requirement of "falling back" an hour each year. "Making Daylight Saving Time permanent is O.K. with me!" Trump tweeted. One of the most common justifications for the time switch is the presumption that by extending summer daylight later into the evening, Americans use less energy. It was the reason Congress used in enacting Daylight Saving Time during World War I and again after the United States joined WWII, according to author David Prerau, who wrote a book which traced the history of the shift on Daylight Saving Time. The President supports making DST permanent (never change clocks again) - Which means it will never happen.......

Because he's black and gay? Or more likely because he STAGED A FAKE CRIME and wasted a lot the CPD's time after lying repeatedly to their faces....... Smollett serves a minute in jail after conviction or confession (whichever happens first) I'll be very surprised....... Manafort was a tax evader, and a bank fraud expert (white collar crimes) and a money launderer.......And should have got more time......

SF doesn't recall there being any guns in this altercation......And that deaf chick is vicious with that slingshot......

Apples / Oranges......

IMHO - If he would have just apologized and come clean right off the bat, maybe would have been able to strike a deal. That's gonna be a little harder now. Not impossible, but certainly more costly, especially having lost his job.......

Sure would, especially if the cities that already have a wall don't want them anymore - would save the rest of us some money..... and most likely prove a point......that walls work.....

https://www.wgrz.com/article/life/family/ive-always-wanted-to-be-a-father-san-antonio-transgender-man-gives-birth/71-599378114 Stephan Gaeth and Wyley Simpson say they met online and their relationship quickly grew. "His happiness, his love and care and respect and acceptance," Simpson said of the qualities that drew him to Gaeth. "Wyley's honesty and kindness, overwhelmingly kind and amazing," Gaeth said of Wyley. Still, they didn't expect a family to come so quickly. Wyley Simpson was taking testosterone while transitioning and hadn't had a menstrual cycle in years when he met Gaeth. But when a week of feeling nauseous turned to full blown morning sickness, he says he learned something he never expected. "There's no way possible, but I guess I could be. And of course, after four pregnancy tests, they were all positive," Simpson said. Simpson searched inside himself to decide whether pregnancy was something he wanted. "For me, personally, especially being on testosterone for six years, I would have to stop treatment if I wanted to continue the pregnancy," Simpson explained. "So that was my main scare, especially after being on it for so long. How it would affect me mentally, that was my main concern." But his dreams of being a parent and his relationship with Gaeth were strong. "I've always wanted to be a father. And even though it happened this way and wasn't planned, I was like, ‘let's do it,’" Simpson said. Gaeth says that he hadn't planned to be a parent so soon but did everything he could to prepare. "At first, I was very unsure. And I just, it felt right, and it felt better as we talked about it," Gaeth said. "We did a lot of talking, a lot of preparing. We went to prenatal yoga together, we watched a lot of videos online, and figured out our birth plan together." The couple says that Rowan Fox is an easygoing baby who likes to eat a lot. They've looked to other parents as they start the next stage of their journey. "The amount of support has been tremendous," Gaeth said. "That has helped me have confidence in parenthood, [and learn to] rely on help when needed." Now, in their tiny home, with their tiny bundle of joy, the vet tech and dancer plan to visit family then travel the country, still not knowing exactly what's next, but excited for every minute of it. "There's no way possible" - a male and female? Think again cupcake, gender identification doesn't trump biology........"How it would affect me mentally?" I think that bridge should have been crossed six years ago.....or at least before having heterosexual sex.......

Drama......SF called it when they didn't show him hit the bottom of the shaft and die......
