    EULAs

    Lg and Samsung's EULAs translated into common language:

    "This device is provided without warranty of any kind as to reliability, accuracy, existence or otherwise or fitness for any particular purpose and LG/Samsung specifically does not warrant, guarantee, imply or make any representations as to its merchantability for any particular purpose and furthermore shall have no liability for or responsibility to you or any other person, entity or diety with respect of any loss or damage whatsoever caused by this device or object or by any attempts to destroy it by hammering it against a wall or dropping it into a deep pit or any other means whatsoever and moreover asserts that you indicate your acceptance of this agreement or any other agreement that may be substituted at any time by coming within 5 miles of the product or observing it through large telescopes or by any other means because you are such an easily cowed moron who will happily accept arrogant and unilateral conditions on a piece of highly priced garbage that you would not dream of accepting on a bag of dog biscuits and is used solely at your own risk."

    I think that covers it. lol

    "The simple fact is that this man was doing his job, and this woman was being an obvious pest, deliberately. He could have gone about it better, sure, but in the same hand, he couldn't let this demonstrator undermine his authority either. After all, one person undermining a public official's authority becomes two. Two becomes four. You know the rest from there."

    60 years ago the Nazi's were just doing their job. Those Jews were being obvious pests, deliberately. The Nazis could of gone about it better, sure, but in the same hand, they couldn't let them undermine their authority either. After all, one person refusing to go to the camps becomes two. Two becomes four. You know the rest from there.

    Yes I think he was wrong in his actions. No I won't walk up to the next Police Officer I see. No more so than I would walk up to Crips, Bloods or Hell's Angels for the same reason. I choose to avoid contact with organized criminals. Especially the ones I can't defend against without being subjected to the angry monkey version of a fire ant attack.

    Peace, out.
