Don't have any idea what the benefit of marriage would be in that situation. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

Gardisil is approved for men under 25? something like that, not sure of the exact age. Only makes sense to treat both disease vectors. Wonder if the doctors would use it off-label for older people? "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

You must be totally different in real life from your online personna. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

You have always had to close a second time to take somebody's name off of the loan. There have always been fees involved with that. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

You really won't be jumping with anybody on Saturday except for your tandem master and maybe a camera guy (if you choose). Good luck Saturday. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

The issue is exactly the terms of the lending. For your current lender they want $3000 to pay off the old loan and grant you a new one. Lots of fees involved. If you don't like those fees, find another financial institution that will do it cheaper. like one of those foreign banks, or a credit union. Honestly $3000 is pretty cheap.

You should get a loan from one of them, then. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

So, here are the questions: 1) If states maintain some sort of list or registry of Medical MJ users, can the feds compel them to turn over that list and put those people on the prohibited list? 2) Can the Feds require dealers to ask if the potential buyer posesses a medical marijuana card? If so, can the dealer actually check that? Can he be held responsible if he cannot? "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

If these guys were substituted it would have been a better movie. Lord knows it couldn't have been any worse. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

Absolutely men and women can be just friends. I have quite a few female friends, including a good number at the drop zone. I have very good boundaries, so if either the woman of I am in a relationship there is minimal or no sexual tension, I just am not going to cheat or help somebody else too. Then I can look at them like my little sister. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

This is not quite accurate. That land was part of the British Mandate for Palestine, had been since 1917 and was not under the direct control of either Syria or Transjordan. Prior to being part of the British Mandate it was ruled over by the Ottoman empire. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, ‘I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds.’ I bought her a scale. And that's how the fight started… "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

_____________________________________________________ According to the prevailing legal standard, the 1933 Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States, a "state as a person of international law should possess the following qualifications: a) a permanent population; b) a defined territory; c) government; and d) capacity to enter into relations with the other states." Both the Hamas-controlled Palestinian entity in Gaza and the rival Fatah-governed Palestinian entity in the West Bank can be said to meet all four of these criteria of the law of statehood. The one on which the United Nations will vote does not. But Fatah, the PA, and the broader PLO do not seek statehood for this West Bank entity that arguably could meet the legal requirements. Their minimum demand is a state that includes Gaza along with the West Bank, the eastern part of Jerusalem, and all the other parts of mandatory Palestine that were under Jordanian and Egyptian control before 1967. Fatah, the PA, and the PLO are demanding title to lands and authority over populations they do not control, being as they are under the rule of Hamas and Israel. Mahmoud Abbas is presenting himself as the president of the Palestine that is pressing the claim in the U.N. General Assembly, but he is not considered to be the president anymore by Hamas, the largest political party in the putative state. And Hamas has Palestine's own laws on its side in this dispute. Abbas was elected in 2005 to serve until January 2009, so his term has expired. In 2009, he unilaterally extended his term for another year until January 2010 (an extension that also has expired), but that extension did not adhere to Article 65 of the Palestinian constitution, the Basic Law. _____________________________________________________ http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2011/08/03/the_palestinians_imaginary_state "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

Far be it to inject facts into SC, but such a standard does not exist anywhere in the law. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

Don't spend any time getting people who are not really interested in jumping to jump. It is a waste of your time and energy. I say this as somebody who has had ~40 people come and do tandems at my DZ in the two years I've been there. If they want to go, they will find the money.

Your theoretical right doesn't matter much when the cop beats you to death, though. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

What would the higher standard be? There is not one currently defined in our judicial system. Beyond any doubts, reasonable or unreasonable? I am in favor of the life without parole option, for the same reason you articulate. Too many people have been released through the work of The innocence project to have any confidence that the judicial system can always get it right. Life without parole gives the system some way to reverse their error. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

Thanks. Virginia process makes sense to me on the face of it. The Virginia process has (understandably) been changed a lot since the Cho incident. There are tighter reporting requirements and much more tracking of mandatory outpatient treatment, as well as more money and support for people transitioning from institutions (psych units and jails mostly) back into the community. People can still get lost in the cracks, as they can in any system. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

You are conflating issues. I have no interest in smoking pot. I still think that the war on drugs is a ridiculous waste of money and effort and marijuana should be legalized immediately. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

"In 2000, Sencion was taken into protective custody by local police as part of a mental health commitment, the AP reported. He’d also been hospitalized for psychological troubles as an adult." I wonder what happened that he fell through the cracks. Is there really, currently in existence, a viable universal process for banning the possession of weapons in these cases or is it only a jurisdictional process where every city, county and state is different? I think not and that's a problem. Do all MH professionals even know what to do and how to do it in these cases? Are they bound by any rules or regulations to proceed in a certain manner? It is done differently in different states. Here in Virginia a magistrate has to sign a temporary detaining order and a hearing must be held within, I believe, 48 hours. It is the magistrate or judge that then must report them for placement on the "ineligible to buy firearms" registry. The MH professional does not do that part.

Neither should have Cho been allowed (He had been committed). Neither should have Loughner (Arrest for drug paraphernalia, five incidents with police for disruption, drug use) Neither should have Harris and Klebold (They were charged with mischief, breaking and entering, trespassing, and theft in 1988. Both were underage, Harris had court-ordered anger management ) And if you look at the stats for gun crime... Most of the people that Kill or shoot someone (already illegal) have prior convictions that prevent them from possessing a gun. These are all just failures of the Govt to do what it said it is going to do.... New laws and regulations are not needed... We just need to actually use the ones we have. Technically Cho was not committed, he was referred to outpatient treatment, which is what led to the confusion. He should have been barred though. I admit to not knowing that much about those other cases, are any of those felonies? I thought only felonies led to a bar on buying firearms. My personal stance regarding mental illness is that we would be better off baring people from buying guns who have violent misdemeanors rather than focusing on mental illness, as it is much more predictive. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

They matter. It is the difference between having a right, or having to EARN a right. OK, but that is a failure of the Govt, just like Cho the VT shooter. He was also not eligible to own a firearm. The Columbine shooters were also not legal to own the weapons they had either. But the basic idea of you have rights till they are taken away VS. You have to earn your rights is a very valid discussion. OK, those may be worthwhile discussions to have but the original post and linked article did not address any of those points. This guy had previously been committed and shouldn't have been allowed to have a gun. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"
