...I'm tying the noose right now.


Sick bastard.

[Reaves]

This is purely disgusting.

He should be sacked from his position as a judge and forced to pay for the dry cleaners legal fees plus the obvious emotional stress it would have caused.

The fact he is a judge only makes it worse. He should know better and is obviously insane.

...I'm tying the noose right now.
May I suggest you use his pants for the noose???:yep:

It shows that this juge has lost his grip on reality. To first sue someone for that much over a pair of trousers, and then to encourage others to do so:stare::nope:

The fact that he wants to claim $15000 for the hire of a car to use new dry cleaner shows how loopy he is, what wrong with his own car, or useing a cab?:hmm:

Wo es nicht im Einklang mit dem Einen ist,

Da wird gelebt Sittlichkeit und Rechtschaffenheit.

Wo Klugheit ist und Wissen,

Da wird getan List und Heuchelei.


Wo die Familie uneins ist,
Da wird gedacht Kindespflicht und Elternliebe.
Wo das Land in Unordnung ist,
Da wird geschaffen das Gesetz der Beamten.






57



Sei gerecht und wahrhaftig,
Verzichte auf Zwang und überflüssige Gewalt,
Handle ohne Vorsatz und Absicht,
Und du gewinnst die Welt.

Das ist darum:

Je mehr Verbote, desto mehr Armut.
Je mehr Reichtum an Gütern, desto mehr Verfall der Werte.
Je mehr geschicktes Denken, desto mehr Verwirrung.
Je mehr Gesetze, desto mehr Gauner und Diebe.

Darum der Weise:

Er handelt ohne Absicht,
Und die Menschen bewirken von selbst.
Er redet und belehrt wenig,
Und die Menschen werden von selbst rechtschaffen.
Er meidet Zwang und Regsamkeit,
Und die Menschen werden reich.
Er ist ohne Begehren nach dem Vielen,
Und sie sehen es und erkennen des Wesens Weise.

LaoTse: TaoTeKing

Where it is not in harmony with the One,
There they live morality and uprightness.
Where there is cleverness and knowledge,
There they do ruse and hypocrisy.

Where family is not united,
There they think children's duty and parental love.
Where the land is in disorder,
There is created the law of the civil servants.

...
The more prohibitions, the more poverty.
the more wealth, the more decline in values.
The more skillful thinking, the more confusion.
The more laws, the more rogues and thiefs.

Well, he's certainly trying to take the Chungs to the 'cleaners' :lol:

[P_Funk]

The sick irony is that after this the Chungs could sue him for emotional distress and public slander over this. I mean really. I'm sure that their hearts have lost a few years of life over this stress.

Bloody hell. He's a judge. Wheres his car? He should be dismissed from his profession on the basis of defaming the position and the robes that he wears. The stupid thing is that this case can't just be laughed out of court, they let it go through.

I've never been more secure in my beliefs.:shifty:

As The Donald would say.....You're fired!

Some Logic at last! Now they need to throw the case out!:yep:

So everybody here who has read the new has thought simply "Fire him. He is an idiot"?

Some weeks ago there was a thread here about a 2 years old kid getting a weapons license. Everybody agreed in the stupid system with holes that allow getting that license. Yet nobody commented about the man who asked for (And got) this license for his son: "What an idiot. Fire him"

Nobody has thought about the nonesense of a system that allows you suing a laundry for 54M $ over some lost pants?

The US legal system of civil actions is well known for having been used to get incredible amounts of money as compensations with very questionable sues. Could it be that this man is not an idiot but is trying to show the nonesense of the system? Probably not, but anyway he is doing it....

:hmm:

[The Avon Lady]

Could it be that this man is not an idiot but is trying to show the nonesense of the system?
Or simply attempting to get pants and a matching suit?!

:p

I thoight about that possebility as well, when making my first posting here. However, one cannot know until he has won his case - and refuses to accept his 54 million dollars. Also, he does damage to the couple whom he is sueing. If he wants to demonstrate something, than his method is morally questionably, at least. what is a demonstration for him, costs them a lot of nerves, and puts existential fears onto their shoulders.

So the greater chances currently are that man is an immoral a$$h0le. Even if he wins and gives back the money and says it was a demonstration - that he accepted to do that at the cost of such immense stress and fear for that couple (as long as they do not know about it) at least makes him guilty of making highly questionable choices concerning the ways and tools by which he conducted his demonstration.

[Hitman]

Yes of course you are right in that he could have chosen better ways for his purpose in that case. But as I said before, even if this was not his purpose (And he just wants the money) he is involuntarily highlighting some serious deficiencies in the system. It is simply ridiculous that a whole trial has to be done, with all the costs and time it implies, on the basis of a temeraire action. A mechanism for simply rejecting such actions already in the moment of their presentation should exist. That's the main conclussion I draw from the whole thing :hmm: .

[Skybird]

Oh, wrong path I was on. now I see your point.
