Talk about greedy and heartless.

....Wow. That's all I can say....wow...and reading the whole article just makes me even angrier. Greedy and heartless are not strong enough adjectives. :evil: I really hope that whatever court takes this case throws it out immediately and then arrests this greedy businessman at least for speeding.

Yeah, what the heck happened to this guy because of his speeding almost double over the limit? Anything at all? He should be in jail because of speeding, manslaughter with a vehicle, and anything else the cops can think of to throw at him. And, his license should be revoked. This really turns my stomach.

And, what type of an insurance company only pays out that lowly sum to a deceased victim's survivors? I think the guys insuance company scammed the parents to.

And, I can't believe they found the victim guilty because he wasn't wearing reflective clothing! Now that really takes the cake.

They might get away with this in Spain, but I doubt it would pass here in the US.

*steals the guys car and puts in in the car smasher* Cool, reflective clothing! Sweet, I'd love to be required to wear armor in order to be safe from the law at night! LOL!
Everything has a pattern. Something set. Even random things. They aren't random at all, its complex mathematics. The trick is to find the pattern. Then you can exploit it.

People think things have a certain end. Taxes. Work. Due dates don't really exist. Trust me. When you put a band of world scholars in the same room, and set them on talking about anything, the most interesting topics come up. The existence of negative time. The probability of "random occurrence". The government's involvement in the media. And falsified due dates. They aren't real, trust me....

Here's a story that is kind of funny, in a weird sort of way: Man struggles to return from the dead

It's about a Polish fellow who was declared dead, but showed up quite alive and well. Now the government doesn't acknowledge his existence. :sweat:

Interesting story. Sounds like he will have to go through a lot of red tape to get that changed, if then. I wonder, if he doesn't have a lot of assets, etc., from his former life, if he can just change his name and go on from there?????

He is dead, I will make sure of it! lol I don't understand how they can really get that sort of thing mistaken. And if he is alive, why would they deny it?

thats the government for ya, whatever country it may be, although it makes no sence.. cause while they're focusing on this guy is dead or alive situation they're forgetting one thing.. the body in the ground isn't him, and somone else.. his family and friends do not know he's gone.. he's a unnamed person who's killer may still be out there.

The story about the guy being "dead" is just weird. Feel sorry for the fellow.

And what is the world coming to? Brawling at Chuck E. Cheese? Happened in the township near where I live, haha...

Even more surprising is that they have a liquor license. This, I didn't know about and I find it surprising, especially since it's a place for children.
