Im guessing you have not purchased a used car from a private owner before?
you dont just walk up to a random shady dude and say "Nice car, here is cash, ill take the keys, Kthxbi!"
and yes, Torvald is one of our more racist members here at subsim based on what i have read... He loves to start most of these sorts of threads with jabs at conservative white guys for some reason
something tells me if i had started multiple threads out with
"Bet the ghetto ass black folks would be mad about this!" i would get the ban hammer in about 10 seconds flat. The guy is an instigator. Period
anyhow, yeah, you buy stolen property, you ARE guilty by the letter of the law of trafficking stolen goods.
a lot of what you buy, and the circumstances under which you bought it has to do with the extend to which you are punished, but its the same as being "guilty by association"
for example: hop in a car with your friend, your friend stops and the bank, and comes running out with all their money and drives off... guess what my friend, in the law's eyes you are an accessory to armed bank robbery
sucks, but **** happens.
as far as "giving Texas back to the Mexicans" comments
why dont we give America Back to the British so the British can give it back to the Native Americans and so on and so on and so on.
you really could say this garbage about any state / nation / country / continent except maybe Antarctica.
I have had to (yes as a whitey cracker honky) prove my citizenship to the authorities before.
it took about 30 seconds, and ended with "Thank you sir, have a nice day."
anyone who cant handle this is a real nancy boy
EDIT:
On another note, Texas is not the issue here dude... CALIFORNIA is the issue.
California is a perfect scale model as to what unchecked illegal immigration can do to a nation.
I say give California back to mexico... oh wait, they already took it back
