So how many acquisitions is that for Bears this season? That being said, will any of them help the bears actually win something this year?

Law/Legal Thread
QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Mar 7, 2015 -> 11:13 AM) I am an attorney, but do corporate/real estate, not litigation. Another problem is whether the lawsuit is worth the time and energy. Obviously, litigation is expensive and if the STD is curable then the damages might not be big enough to even warrant a lawsuit. It would be tough to convince a good attorney to take a case in which he or she might spend a good chunk of time only to have a judgment or settlement of say $1000. His or her cut would generally be about 33% of that, so only $333. There are just a lot of variables with the situation presented. It's a non curable STD. I feel bad for her. We all take a risks with sex in this promiscuous ass world. I'm going home next week and if I run into this guy he's pretty much done for.

Law/Legal Thread
QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Mar 7, 2015 -> 07:43 AM) Maybe. Was the person wearing protection? If the person with the STD took steps to not spread the disease, then maybe not, because they wouldn't be negligent. If no protection was involved, then there probably is a cause for negligence. Some states also have statutes on point. There's also damages issues. If you do not get the STD, you may not have true damages, although you might have mental pain/suffering, thinking you did have an STD. I hope you are asking for a friend... I'm just asking but are you a lawyer? No I'm not asking for myself, I'm asking for my sister. I might need a criminal defense lawyer at some point myself.

If you have consensual sex with someone and they do not disclose they have an STD, do you have grounds for civil negligence?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 3, 2015 -> 04:26 PM) It's not really a question of laziness, it's just another requirement that would replace an existing requirement that should be preventing the (rare) tragedies you're seeking to prevent. If you're worried about kids, only moronic, irresponsible and criminal parents let their kids get to their guns. They should locked up and unloaded. That's the law. Criminals. Well, they're criminals. I'm sure they'd totally abide by new laws, because they follow the existing ones! There's no way they'd try to get around the "smart" feature of the gun or use false applications and whatnot to become a registered user! And you've got millions and millions of guns out there. They'd simply get one of those guns, not the smart ones. So again, you're just punishing lawful gun owners to make a dent in a relatively small number of crimes that will occur anyway. It's just another pointless restriction. I could maybe support this restriction on cops, assuming it works flawlessly (i'd be concerned about how long it would take to verify you are the one that can use the gun), so that some perp can't go after a cops gun and use it. It's not like those guns can be shared with family/friends or passed down anyway. It's a service weapon only to be used by that cop. But given all the other s*** local communities have to pay for, not sure that extra perk is really in the budget or on the priority list for most departments/communities. Should have used green. That's my bad.

The next argument could be that if a smart gun has a glitch in which is doesn't respond to the owner when he needs it. That could be detrimental.
