  I did read it for you. It wasn't even a salad, it was goulash of bullshit, horseshit, camelshit, and whaleshit (they had to drag it up from the bottom of the ocean, that's how low it was), all mashed together in and extreme effort to prove exactly how correct the NYT report is.

  Deevers is a pastor? What happened to separation of Church and State? Wasn't that doctrine the very reason for preventing the making of laws like this?

  Just think ow [sic] what the cops could do with such a law, as using a phone to record their actions is using digital technology.

  Or look at it from the other direction. Think about how:

  • Body cameras won't be worn any more, because they're digital.
  • No more fax machines, they're all digital now.
  • Ditto for printers!
  • Wanted posters will once again be hand-drawn for manual distribution.
  • Wire-tap recordings will once again be tape recorded in analog, not with digital means.
  • A resurgence in film and paper will come about, because long-distance surveillance will require analog cameras - nothing digital will be allowed.

  And that's just off the top of my head, there are probably way more limits on the police using digital tech to definitively describe a "suspect" than I can come up with in just a few moments. Of course, if I can see this, then so can others in a position to insert an amendment to exclude law enforcement activities from this particular steaming pile of bullshit.

  The answer is Yes. Yes, Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar and Rep. Madeleine Dean are, by definition and example both AI's masquerading as humans. Q.E.D.

  The fact that it says about me is that I support freedom of speech.

  You can't support freedom of speech if you are attempting to bully a property owner into submission that he/she must carry your speech. That's a direct example of a dichotomy. Further, you continually exhibit an ignorance that defies all rational thinking. Even after more than 90 posts to this thread alone, you either don't see and understand, or you are being willfully ignorant about the fact that speech is not the issue here, free or otherwise. It's all about association, and until you "get it", you are going to continually be flagged for your ignorance. Plan on it. Claims of censorship were always a Republican/Conservative screeching point, because none of them paid attention in class when the subject of the day was The Constitution. They all thought they heard "prostitution", and said that's a good idea, let's skip out of class and go bang a whore. Thats why this country in in a world of shit right now, because some people's kids .... Oh, Christ, why am I even trying to talk sense to you. I need a bath and a shower both to clean the crud off my body, after dealing with the like of you. To quote Charles Dickens, I devote thee to the devil.

  No one is required to give charity, for example, but that doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t.

  Woah! Stop right there, asshole! Who died and elected you to tell other people how to spend their money? You may not've said "you will", but you sure as hell implied it, laying out a guilt trip that would shame a grandmother. You come around here again with that shit, and I'll start flagging you automatically and continuously. You've been warned.

  You would have less of the “Nazi bar” nonsense that the site owner here likes to complain about

  Mike doesn't "complain" about Nazi bars so much as he points them out for others to take note and avoid. He then renders his personal opinion of those who welcome Nazi's onto their property. I need not repeat or quote any of his statements. Now to the real jist of conversations like this: As Strawb points out, this whole brew-ha-ha is NOT about free speech rights - it NEVER was. It's about 1A's fifth clause, the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and that's all it's ever been, the right to associate with whomever one might please. For those of you making like poster boys for post-natal abortion ever since #45 came to the fore, the corollary is that you are permitted to deny someone from attempting to associate with you. If an "owner" of some property deems a person to be an asshole, and does not wish to associate with said asshole, there's no amount of law the entire land that force that owner to let the asshole onto his property, period. Do notice that no words of any kind ever need to be spoken, it's all about association, not speech. All of you "free speech shouldn't be censored by anybody" clowns are whining because you can't even read the First Amendment, let alone understand what it says. And the rest of us, those of us who paid attention in school, we do understand what 1A says, and it says in plain language that we can tell you to fuck right off with your happy horseshit. I think you need to start buying better drugs. Let me suggest carbolic acid, that'll work wonders for your attitude.

  I don’t think many lemon laws mandate a refund before it’s been explicitly requested.

  Actually, it's not the dealer's fault, nor the law, but the lending institutions and the insurance companies. They want all of the i's dotted, etc. Things like VIN, options on the vehicle (increase or decrease the value), that sort of stuff. Sorry if I was unclear on that point.

  Boiled down to two words: ostracize them. Always a good plan, but as noted above, zombie robot slaves reproduce ad nauseum, giving us the sad fact that the ratio between ZRS and Intelligent People is skewing further and further away from rationality.

  I just remembered that autocracy invariably collapses violently or in genocide

  Cue the movie RollerBall, either version. (But Rebecca Roman makes the first version a lot easier on the eyes!)

  This whole thing is much more devious than spoken of so far. Using the word "you" in a contract describing a purchase implies a permanence of transfer of assets. That's basic contract law, and has been upheld in courts for more than 233 years. (Though not formalized until the UCC was drafted in 1892.) But here, what we're seeing is not an attempt to redefine the word "you" in a purchase contact, it is an attempt to redefine the character of the agreement itself. Fortunately, the covering subterfuge didn't work for a minute, we all see it for what it is - a steaming pile of bullshit. Failure to recognize this lack of success by not changing this wording to something like "you, the renter" (meaning, specifically describing the status of one of the parties) will cause judges to pause as they deliberate the true meaning of such agreements. Other things like specifying a duration of the rental period, and/or conditions surrounding termination will also come into consideration. This is gonna be a tough nut to crack. It ain't gonna happen overnight, I can prognosticate that much.

  How long will it take before the politicians finally realise that they need to extend all consumer protections to include all rentals, leases and subscriptions too?

  In some states, a leased car is also covered under the so-called "lemon law". If the dealer can't fix the same issue in three tries, they have to take it back and refund whatever money you've already paid. Offering a fresh vehicle in 'trade' and continuing the same lease is not an option, at least not under the lemon laws I've seen. So far, I've not seen anything covering rentals, but why should I? A rental is already an agreement that you don't own the item, the rentor does. The same probably applies to subscriptions, but that's a really gray area just now. It'll take several court cases to determine which way the wind should blows.
