Hell you can retire anytime you want. You might have to make some small spending adjustments but you're way loaded compared to me.  It all depends on what you think is important in life.  I don't see you ever retiring though.  You have it too good.  You post on the shroomery all day long so you obviously don't have to do much now for your bucks and you have a rich successful ol lady. The kids are out of the house.  I don't know how you do it but nice job. :thumbup:

Everything is overrated.  My friend used to say "survival is overrated".:lol: The older I get the more pain I have the less I can do that is fun the more I agree with him. 

Kratom makes things a lot better but the cost is an addiction. But frankly at my age it's worth it.  It will likely shorten my time here but the days I have are better days so it's worth it. 

Just don't hire anyone go drag me into rehab.  Pretty please.  :minigun:  :rockets:  :laser:  :machinegun:  :matrix2:  :n00bslayer:  :fishsmack:

Looks like the parents have had run-ins with the law too. I hope the civil suits ruin those people.

4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.

It's not likely.  They're not personally responsible as far as I can see.  The truck was owned by the family business, but if it's incorporated, the family will not be liable.

I'm sure they'll settle it, though.

your kidding right?

having been wildly rich for the first 40 yrs of my life,
and now , being relatively poor, i can assure you as of 2014, that the rich essentially are immune from most law ,
and the poor are hunted with dog and helicopter and swat teams...... for any minor infraction.

thats one of the things i miss about my lost fortunes.
the outlandish lawlessness....

these days, anyone making less than 100k , is assumed to be a derelict crackhead or homeless nusiance,
and is subject to being arrested, and possibly shot on sight..........

you should read the news sometime enlil......

Sure.  There are far more poor than rich in the world.  As a result, there is more crime committed by poor than rich.  This would be true even if poverty had no influence on one's likelihood of committing crimes.  Poverty's influence makes this even more true.

The sad reality is that many crimes go unpunished.  Since most crimes are committed by the poor, most criminals that go unpunished are poor.

That doesnt even mention the point that is being discussed.

Which is the impact wealth has on sentencing when a crime is committed.

So if you want to give up your bs cheap lawyer tactics, then we can have an actual discussion.

Your reading comprehension is so poor, dude.  Let me walk you through it:

If that isn't enough, maybe you should read very closely and carefully.  Assuming you're not a complete moron, you'll realize that my statement was a direct response to the post above it.

Now, if you want to piss, moan, and cry about something, feel free.  I'm just trying to help you figure out the language and how to use/understand it.  Once you've learned that, maybe we can try to have an "actual discussion."

I don't know if that's true or not.  I know you're more likely to hear about it when a rich person is charged with a crime, and more likely to hear about it when they are acquitted. 

I've seen, and personally helped, many poor people avoid prosecution and/or conviction of crimes of which they were clearly guilty.  Of course, anecdotal evidence isn't particularly probative. 

Unless/until good stats are gathered, I doubt we'll ever know.  Good stats are unlikely to every be gathered because it would require knowing whether or not people were actually guilty of what they were charged.

If you are claiming you post was directed at spore babys post, why did you quote mine later on and respond to it?

So enough with the shit, why not respond on topic?

Because you quoted mine and asked me a question.  Am I supposed to ignore your questions?

And I don't "claim" my post was directed at spore baby.  It says so right on the subject line of my post where it says "Re: spore baby."  If you can't be bothered to look at such things, maybe you're not ready for the internet just yet.
