Just as luck favors the well-prepared, accidents happen less often, or tend to be less dire, for the companies with safe practices. Because they have reduced the opportunity for problems, and are prepared to react quickly and more likely right when they happen. So once we have an opportunity to see that it'll be closer to time to cast stones or sympathize. Wendy P. Companies are very reactionary in this though. They assign a dollar amount to a potential company risk and then calculate the cost to mitigate. All of the risks are grouped and the biggest potential ones receive funding and then continue down until the availble financing is used up. The only exception generally in regulatory. There are two solutions: More regulations or force companies to fix what they break, without "free" gov't assistance. I prefer the latter as it lets companies more clearly determine their acceptable risk and again take a proactive stance to issues, versus the endless cycle of getting new regulations and complying to them which stifles not only innovation but efficiency as well. "Sure it could cause billions in damage, but our share of that cleanup effort is projected to be only $750 million."

Is she paying a portion of her 5% directly or indirectly via "services" towards that mortgage? If not IMO she has not contributed therefore no buyout clause is needed. She's also better off not getting into a legal contract and instead putting aside some $$$ in case she needs to move out later. Putting her name on the mortgage or deed is a bad idea for both parties. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

Thanks for a clear definition. Finally. So would you support cops asking crime victims about their immigration status? Suppose a detective is investigating a murder, and is interviewing the victim's family for background information. On your definition, this certainly seems like "contact." Would you be in favor of the detective demanding to see the victim's mother's immigration papers, and detaining her if those papers were not in order? Or suppose it is a rape victim? Do you support the cops detaining the victim if she cannot produce the proper papers? That depends on if one thinks public paid services such as the police are intended for citizens amd legal immigrants only.

Sad they don't realize even an unlimited supply of money can't stop all social problems and ironically could make them much worse. Some things money can't fix. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

Maybe I'm in the minority here but my issues with illegals is more that they are not paying income taxes for the services they use which is one of the reasons why we are in such debt, A mandatory federal ID is not the solution either. Besides, we don't even need a new program to do it, just expand the passport program. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

you mean like "Odummy" (the judges will also accept "Obumble") or "Shrub" or "Ronnie Raygun" or "Clintwipe"? like those respectful titles? My fav was "Turd in chief" when referring to GWB. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

I agree, The corporations that make the mess should be responsible for not only cleaning it up but any damages they cause, not the government. Any assistance offered by the government to help should be paid back in full. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

One could argue that the majority of the devestation in the aftermath of Katrina was due "a man made mess", the levee system that wasn't adequately maintained. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

It's really both.

I could be wrong here, but I don't think he's justifying violence, merely explaining a possible reason why it occurs. Explanation is not justification.

Police AKA Law Enforcement Officers enforce the law, even the ones they may not agree with. That's their job. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

Dude that has got to be the single DUMBEST statement made on these boards EVER... _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Struck a nerve, eh? What did I say that isn't true? Cheers, Jon You imply that it is okay for a guy to hit his wife if the wife doesn't treat him right. Talk about blaming the victim. Violence is never okay.

That's because men, particularly white men are the only group it's univerally acceptable to make fun of. Make fun of any other group and you risk the screams of racism, sexism, etc. to come out.

I'd take the lump sum payout but offer to give every dime to charity if they gave me the full pretax ammount. Of course they wouldn't but would be fun to watch them squirm. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

+1. I view it sorta likes states that have seat belt laws but don't allow officers to pull someone over just for that. I wouldn't be surprised if North Carolina is next after Texas as we have tons of illegals as well. Alabama has a shit load of them too. Hmmm.... we have a republican governor, maybe he'll do something. But right now he's busy fighting bingo halls and gambling and keeping the lottery out. ALL of Alabama's neighboring states have state lotteries so you know where most of the money is going... out of state. Wow. I thought my state was the last to get the lottery.
