| What if you were a black youth in Toronto with the all-white police force? Would you feel like being a police officer is within your grasp? Depends on who you are individually. People like the teen versions of Thomas Sowell and Clarance Thomas would think "yes." I just saw this response. ... |

| While I respect economists to weigh in on this matter, I read the following: http://www.cepr.net/documents/publications/min-wage-2013-02.pdf It concludes that minimum wage increases have almost zero impact on small businesses and instead create a greater economic boon for the workforce.

| No. You're trying to have it both ways again by bringing legal terminology into the court of public opinion. Drop your last sentence. I never introduced legal terminology into the court of public opinion. I was assessing Thomson's claim from a criminal court perspective. Which is what she's claimin... |

| This isn't a criminal court. The standard of beyond a reasonable doubt isn't necessary. To dismiss her complaint is to presume she's a liar. And if you want to play junior-lawyer, courts presume people to be truthful, whether there is reasonable doubt not. You can't have it both ways. Who is playin... |

| Unfortunately, this is simply a "he said/she said". Legally speaking, there is a lot of reasonable doubt that Ford grabbed himself some ass. She has no corroborating witnesses, no physical evidence and a good defence lawyer would make a lot of hay about how she handled herself afterwards. ... |

| Amazingly, lying in an information to obtain a search warrant doesn't invalidate the search warrant. The lie is simply excised from the information (and the truth inserted) and the reviewing Judge ascertains whether the warrant could have been issued. If he finds it could have, the warrant stands.

It used to be that a plea agreement could be made for those cases that ate up the majority of actual court time, drunk-driving and marijuana grow-operations, but now there's no sense in pleading out.

| The message is the same, you just don't like how it's being said in the second example. It's rude and condescending. I agree, believe what you want, but there's no need to make fun of what others believe. Sure there is. There is a need to mock the underpinnings that cause doctors in Ireland watch a... |

Gunnair Gunnair: Interesting levels of arrogance here, and telling. Yet another Eureka moment for the forums. 
You could prove them wrong if you wanted. I notice that you continue not to. It's also "telling" that you'd like me to believe I'm wrong, yet won't provide reasons why. |
