  Re: Re: Sounds more like...

  Or here's a unique concept... work on the 'best interest model' for the child and determine what the child needs NOT what the parents need and make it an order that they BOTH need to obey.

  Re: Re: Conflicted

  I'm thinking Kickstart it.. absolutely flood the process and then show with proof that these bogus patents were allowed and then the onus is on the US Patent office to basically either say they are incompetent or stupid or both. it's a LOSE-LOSE for them.
  
  I'm sure a whole lot of people would pay 70-280 per pop for the chance to destroy your current idiotic system. Just make sure they state in writing that all patents will be Common Property afterwards (Public Domain)

  Re: Re: Re: Google is so great, but I am not biased

  Seeing as an ad-hominem is a specific statement of facts that the other side knows or thinks about an individual/group instead of a question asking if something is correct or not it means you are either conflating the issue since you have some psychological disposition, most likely to there being a grain of truth... or you are just another wannabee troll who wont stand by facts or any verifiable sources and just makes wild ass guesses and assumptions based on some perceived ideal that they (you) think is correct when instead they are just showing their ignorance, inability to be questioned, and lack of decorum.

  Do the tinfoil hats interfere with your Conspiracy theorist meetings much? or do you all just debate maths without talking?

  In response to Josh's question on how to fix it, or start to fix it, as someone who is outside the USA looking in I can see two main areas that have to be looked at
  
  Firstly Consumer law:
  * make warranties to be a minimum statutorily in both timeframe (12months at minimum.. reasonable life of product at best) and if warranty is required for the consumer to decide whether they want a Repair, replacement or refund at THEIR choice not manufacturers.
  
  * Make the point of sale the ONLY requirement for customers to deal with. ie: if you buy an item at X store, X store has to do all the legwork etc for that item at the stores expense (recouped by the store from the distributor and/or manufacturer). The consumer should never have any call to deal with a distributor or manufacturer EVER.
  
  * if any of the above, including misleading practices, unenforceability, unconscionable behaviour and other fine points of contract law dealing with goods and/or services are allegedly breached by a seller/distributor/manufacturer then an UNBIASED authority (tribunal based works best) should decide what should be done.. Not some arbitrary arbrtation system that is payed for and beholden to the manufacturer. Transparency and Equity demand that the your Federal govt needs to do this only. If a breach is found the user is NOT payed money (though is just compensated for by either Refund, repair, replacement) and instead the corporation is FINED publicly.
  
  
  Secondly, TORT REFORM:
  This is normally a dirty evil blasphemous phrase for any attorneys in the USA who work for BigLaw and there are numerous ideas, theories, etc of what it involves etc. Though a good starting point is LOSER PAYS!
  In other words if someone(thing) gets taken to court and loses the winning party MUST pay all legal costs unless an appeal on the legalities of the case is granted.

  Re: Piece of Sh!t

  Living in a country where defamation of a company is actually lawful and the company has no way of taking action since a corporation cannot be defamed under the tort.
  
  AGIS is absolutely a SHITTY Company and their attorney is most definitely a piece of shit and highly ethically challenged for allowing this bogus claim.

  Re: sheilding law breakers?

  I'm sorry I am trying to see the similarities between investigating, compiling, then reporting on events that someone else has given you and OPENLY doing it and intercepting and/or accessing information by unauthorised and ILLEGAL means PERSONALLY!
  
  
  Oh wait.. that's because there is not any similarities and they are totally dissimilar in any legal, ethical or any other way.

  Sadly this is not sarcasm and more true than hypothetical.
