Artful Dodger: Dad , the family wants to stage an intervention.When mom caught you alternately laughing and crying while poking your Obama voodoo doll up in the attic, she called everyone in tears
Iamon lyme: Your complaints about V's obfuscating, twisting, and subject changing are starting to convince me that you really are me! Now you really sound like me!
Interesting that a majority of people on this board all agree about that same thing. The only one who can't see it is V himself. Sad really.
(V): A real part of the law where? In the UK, in the US? Some laws here are federal, they apply to everyone... everyone in the US. Then there are laws that are different from state to state, and even local laws that may differ from state law due to special circumstances.
By the way, I was wrong about how many questions you were asking. You weren't just juggling apples and oranges, you were juggling apples oranges and bananas.
(V): I'll answer it, the answer is apples and oranges, your question involves liability, where your usual big business complaint involves pricing policies .
(V): I think the question has been asked enough times in a row. Please stop spamming the board with it. If someone chooses to answer it, they will. (and have)
(V): Iamon lyme: "You don't know!! Is that why you won't answer a simple question?"
"I don't know" was the answer to your simple question.
Figure it out. If I knew, that would mean I had paid for damaging merchandise. I don't go running through stores like a bull in a china shop, so it doesn't happen.
Iamon lyme: Please stop making a simple question hard
I also mentioned Contract law which starts at the moment you walk into a business. It's a simple rule that everyone should know!! You do know it I'm presuming, so lets cut to the chase....
If you buy faulty goods. For example a chain saw from a shop. It then when you use it malfunctions and causes you to lose an eye.
(V): "So in Conservative land.... If you buy faulty goods. For example a chain saw from a shop. It then when you use it malfunctions and causes you to lose an eye.
You'll just say "buyer beware"..
"It's a simple question."
Fair enough. I'll try to keep my answer simple.
No, you say "buyer beware" before you buy the chain saw. Not after.
Then, when you go to use the chain saw, anyone seeing you should run away very fast.
Iamon lyme: Lemon Lime, if you buy a new watch and it doesn't work because the battery was dead. And then you open the back to see what size the battery is, and because the back isn't properly fitted, the screwdriver you're holding slips and you stab yourself in your face. The screwdriver, now stuck in your face, because of the faulty watch, hurts and is bleeding like a sieve. The blood falls on the floor making it slippery. You get up to call 911 and slip on your blood from the wound caused by the screwdriver that you used to open the back of the watch that was new but didn't work because of the dead battery and you fall backwards. You fall hard on the back of your head and lay there in your own blood. Now you have a concision, a screwdriver stuck in your face, blood squirting out of the wound, and all because of a faulty fitting watch back. When you finally get to the phone, you are full of blood. The blood caused the key pads on the phone to stick and not work properly. You dial 911 but get directory assistance. Try as you might, you can't dial 911 because the blood is now all over the phone. You scream and a neighbor comes in to help but slips on the blood and hits his head. He's unconscious. But when he falls his phone falls out. Now the blood on your hands are dry and you're able to dial. But his phone is dead. YOu crawl to the street screaming for help. Rushed to the hospital, you nearly die.
Who should you sue? Will your neighbor sue you? Will you sue your neighbor? Will you have Cheerios for breakfast? If a dog barks like a seal, is it still a dog? Does any of this make sense?

题目: Re:It's a simple rule of thumb almost anyone can understand.
Iamon lyme: Not to mention that the lazy liberals in the US look for ways to sue so they can make money the easy way. It's really extortion via the courts. 2 million for spilling one's coffee. Seriously. The woman that won that award needed to be jailed for even bringing that suit.

(V): ".... Your not one for surrendering your rights are you? You just let businesses walk all over you if they mislead you!!"
You are missing the point. I don't let businesses walk all over or mislead me. That's the whole point of "let the buyer beware". I haven't had to exercise my right to sue because I don't let myself get ripped off.
I have better things to do than to keep myself busy getting justice for being ripped off after making stupid decisions. Another way of saying 'let the buyer beware' is let the buyer be aware.

Is that because of the morphine from the ER department??
(V): "Even those with no law degrees or just plain 'dumb'?"
Especially for those with no law degrees or just plain 'dumb'.
It's a simple rule of thumb almost anyone can understand. I say 'almost' because some don't want to understand it... personal responsibility is for other people, not for them.
Iamon lyme: That fact sheet was around for over 12 years and Obama never objected. Also he got student aid for being a student from a foreign country. It's being ignored by the liberal press and only picked up by the bloggers. Even Fox is keeping a distance. Cowards.
(V): It doesn't just mean you should read the fine print. The idea is that the buyer is expected to exercise at least a modicum of personal fiscal responsibility.
Artful Dodger: I know that a fact sheet in the front pages of one of his own books says he was born in another country. What's the lastest scoop on this.. as if after almost 4 years anyone really cares anymore.
... Regarding buyer beware. If a business sells you a car and it then 'breaks' .. eg the wheels fall off, or the engine blows up... it's not buyer beware. The business is expected to sell a roadworthy car. This is part of contract law, to sell a product that is fit for purpose.
Anytime someone complains about other's good fortunes (which is due to their hard work) you can bet the complainer is living off the government and has a thousand excuses why he/she can't work. "I hurt my big toe" or some other lame excuse. My liberal friends all complain and whine. My conservative friends all work hard and help others.
