Sorry I believe this overweight person has 0 self control, and as you mentioned, lazy as well. Fine if you think different. The guy has a gastric bypass, and he's still big as a house. His appearance tells his story. If your OK with him rock on RW.

Quote from: "Twenty Dollars"Look I'm not mocking the person that a few pounds over a perceived weight bassd on height. We have all been there. I'm talking about a person that knows better, is a public servant, and who has had medical help, and still is way over weight. I'd say he need to lose 180 pounds. My friend Bob was that big. Poor dude couldn't pass up a plate of Fettechini Alfredo. Didn't make it passed 61.

Quote from: "Twenty Dollars"Sounds like more of a symptom of New Jersey than anything else. You seem to represent it fairly well. As for my worldliness, I've been around, and I'm not talking about Disney Land. Tit for tat.

That's a the markings of an eating disorder.  When you're 5'9" and 106lbs people are all concerned about your physical and mental health.  When you're 5'6" and 306lbs, you're just a fat lazy slob with no self control.  It's the same problem.  People eat or don't eat for all sorts of reasons and for you to think you know what those reasons are is ignorant.



Walk a mile asshole.

Have it your way. He's an Obease slob with no self control a proud public servant. You walk a mile hon. Something tells me you don't get out much either. If he had a shred of class, he'd shape up.

That sorta thing might net a guy 4 or 5 years tops in Canada (released early on good behavior).



And if the judge was gay, he'd probably give that guy in the video community service & invites up to his penthouse.

Yeah, but that's why if given a choice to be sentenced in the US or Canada, most convicts would choose the latter. Canada is a slap on the wrist compared with the US. Y'know, I know someone who spent 5 years in a Texas prison where you live, K. I sure wouldn't wanna be him. The years in one of your state prisons had taken their toll on the poor guy. But that's what its like in America, which has the largest prison population in the world. And stiff sentences. I know that Texas is one of the most severe. Florida is pretty harsh too.



Anyways, the guy in that video would've gotten less time in Canada. Maybe 5 years or less with good behavior? Certainly not 14 years as he did in the video.

Quote from: "kiebers" :oeudC:  :dash1:

Thank you for educating me about my criminal justice system. Canadians are lucky they get time off for good behavior. The way you are talking the US obviously makes criminals serve the full time given. No time off for good behavior. And your friend that served time in Texas...tough shit. He did the crime and did the time, or did he get time off for good behavior? Oh wait...you are implying that doesn't happen here...my bad.



Where is that sarcasm font when you need it????



Now you want to put police in all the bar parking lots....hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha  

Who has the resources to pay for that. Trust me, there will not be enough revenue generated to pay for that. Not to mention the amount of people that will be in jail from that. Crowd that justice system up, eh J0E...overload an already overloaded system, eh J0E.  



Hey I know....put a breathalyzer in all the vehicles instead. Create jobs and make the streets safer.



And not everyone gets drunk at a bar, some get drunk and drive from company functions, home and other places as well.



Knock Knock

QuoteRICHMOND I The B.C. Court of Appeal has upheld a lower court ruling that in March last year found a Richmond bar owner 50-per-cent liable for a car accident involving a drunken patron.



No financial damages have been awarded in the case but at the time it was reported as the most severe apportionment of blame against a drinking establishment in Canadian history.



The Appeal Court decision came down Thursday following a two-day hearing in Vancouver before Madam Justice Anne Rowles, Madam Justice Catherine Anne Ryan, and Mr. Justice Kenneth Mackenzie.



The hearing was convened after counsel for the Steveston Hotel appealed the March 2005 B.C. Supreme Court ruling that split the liability of the accident evenly between the drunk driver and the bar.



The decision to quash that appeal now paves the way for plaintiffs in the case to seek damages, lawyer Jim McNeney said in an interview Friday.



McNeney represents four of the five men injured outside the Steveston Hotel in the early morning hours of June 12, 1999.



His most seriously injured client, Eric Tremblay, remains unable to live on his own and suffers from orthopedic and brain injuries resulting from the accident, McNeney said.



A hearing to determine damages is scheduled next year in B.C. Supreme Court, McNeney said. He declined to specify how much money he will be seeking on behalf of his clients.



In an interview last March, however, McNeney told The Sun that Tremblay's injuries were similar to those of Natalia Spehar, who was awarded $7.5 million in damages in 2003 after she was injured in a crash.



When told about Thursday's ruling, McNeney said Tremblay was "very, very happy."



Counsel for the Steveston Hotel could not be contacted for comment Friday.



The hotel owners still have the option of applying to the Supreme Court of Canada to hear an appeal of the case.



The crash that injured the five men took place about two blocks from the Steveston Hotel.



Tests would later show that Harry McWilliams, the 21-year-old driver who was involved in the crash, had a blood-alcohol count of more than twice the legal limit. McWilliams had been drinking in the hotel pub prior to getting into his vehicle. After driving away from the bar, McWilliams tried to pull around a pickup truck that was stopped on the road. In doing so, he drove into a crowd of people, mainly teenagers, hitting five of them.



McWilliams pleaded guilty to impaired driving causing bodily harm in August 2000 and received a 14-month conditional sentence.

No police state for me. Muslims I am okay with, but not me.

Quote from: "JOE"I got into an argument with someone today about this very issue of liability.

He said that if he invited some friends over for drinks, he felt that it was his responsibility to make sure thathey get home safely. So he either let them stay over at his place, or he acts as the desgnated driver to take them home. He said that the law would find him negligent if allowed them to drink and drive. But I see it differently - that middle aged men ought to be grown up and experienced enough to know their limit. And if they don't they're irresponsible. There's a point in ones life when they have to be men as opposed to teenagers & take responsibility for their actions. We in Canada seem to live this nanny state where numerous individuals delegate blame to someone else when in fact their own fault.

It is very difficult in Canada to get a successful case against a social host in Canada..



It is different for commercial hosts and employers.

Quote from: "Renee"
It's not a matter of difficulty....Social Host Laws do exist and under certain circumstances a privat citizens can end up in court and be persecuted in connection with a guest's DUI.



So JOE's "friend" :001_rolleyes: is right. If you have a drunken party guest, it is in your best legal interest not to let them drive until they are sober enough to do so.

Quote from: "Twenty Dollars"Expensive is an understatement. My friend ordered a double grey goose and tonic at the 4 Seasons at Papagayo. It was $60. Imported booze here is taxed heavily. I believe it's $35. at Bevmore. $67. at the Auto mercado here. I can get it at the Nica Frontera at duty free for $37. I do like it, a tad pricy to drink every day. Who here likes Grey Goose?

What is Guaro?

Quote from: "Renee"Could never understand why someone would buy "expensive vodka" (the concept alone is ridiculous) and then dump it in tomato juice or tonic water.



I don't drink vodka that often, I usually stick with Absolute or sometimes Finlandia.



I'm a bourbon drinker.....Gentlemen Jack or Jim Beam Devil's cut......IMHO the Jack is better. It's cleaner , smoother and the fragrance is outstanding. The Devil's cut tends to be rougher and syrupy.
