IMO, a parent's due diligence would demand evaluating the circumstances of the "accusation" and the reasons for, and circumstances surrounding, the "dismissal" (assuming it *was* dismissed). BTW, I'm not in any way acknowledging, except for the sake of argument, that your usage of the terms "accusation" and "dismissal" is proper in this instance. Before you write more **** about other people Murray, say if you understand what you are arguing against, since here you argue against the law itself, and real investigation of accusations. Real investigation? You mean some nut doing textual evaluation? Or one or more acknowledged experts applying their field of certified expertise? |

Uhh, Phil, Uhh? how is a recommendation to "evaluate" a report an "accusation"? Seems you can't understand plain English, let alone legal argot. Is it me? I am saying that it is only an accusation, and an unproven accusation, and upon evaluation by an investigating judge, a dissmissable accusation. Ah, BB, in our common law based jurisprudence we do not have investigating/investigative judges. They exist and function in continental jurisprudence in judicial systems derived from Roman law. Thus, your parrot cries of investigating judges and dismissals is really nothing more than a stale cracker for the parrot. Judges in our system conduct trials/hearings. Do you know what findings, if any, the judge made as to the subject matter of the order? Before you write more **** about other people Murray, say if you understand what you are arguing against, since here you argue against the law itself, and real investigation of accusations. Wrong. It is you who haven't a clue as to the law and the legal system. Maybe you should try reading Maybe you should not offer advice, since you have no demonstrated ability to even understand what others say, and even then, are shy to come up to any mark of independent and dissinterested assessment. You are as shot as Laugherty! Phil Innes somebody who writes straightforwardly. How about, oh, Henry Miller? I think you might find Death On The installment Plan a good read, also. Phil, you are truly an ignorant blowhard. Murray, you cannot own any responsibility for your own actions, and I tell you, this ain't over till its over! And you better look to yourself! Heh, heh. What is it all you legal sharks say? Something like, "I'm postured to defend myself vigorously against false and spurious accusations"? You and Rob toss around legal terminology with all the authority of children with blocks. 'Terminology' is it? I am asking you a DIRECT question. Do you yet acknowledge that a court threw out this charge as baseless? If you do not wish to answer, or wish to prevaricate as you do here, that itself is an answer. Evidently, Phil, you're under the delusion that you can command responses. Well, why not, you've deluded yourself into an International Master with a 2450 rating, you've become an Internet Lawyer, why just generally be in command? But why not humor the fool? OK, I believe as part of the evaluation I recommended, the prospective parents should look into the court follow-up and take what information they glean into consideration. Are you happy now? I don't care if you 'wish' to understand this issue. I do care to point it out in public, so people can assess for themselves who the people are who are accusing others, and their standards, if any. I think people are getting a pretty good idea of the various posters' standards. Phil Innes |

I've tried running this sentence through various language translations using the Google language tool. No luck. Can anyone out there translate the above sentence into modern English? Thanks in advance. As near as I can figure, the translation is: Product Liability Suit In The United States District Court, Southwestern District, Tempe, Arizona Case No. B19293, Judge Joan Kujava, Presiding Wile E. Coyote, Plaintiff vs. Acme Company, Defendant Opening statement of Mr. Harold Schoff, attorney for Mr. Coyote: My client, Mr. Wile E. Coyote, a resident of Arizona and contiguous states, does hearby bring suit for damages against the Acme Company, manufacturer and retail distributor of assorted merchandise, incorporated in Delaware and doing business in every state, district, and territory. Mr. Coyote seeks compensation for personal injuries, loss of business income, and mental suffering caused as a direct result of the actions and/or gross negligence of said company, under Title 15 of the United States Code Chapter 47, section 2072, subsection (a), relating to product liability. Mr. Coyote states that on eighty-five separate occasions, he has purchased of the Acme Company (hereinafter, "Defendant"), through that company's mail order department, certain products which did cause him bodily injury due to defects in manufacture or improper cautionary labelling. Sales slips made out to Mr. Coyote as proof of purchase are at present in the possession of the Court, marked Exhibit A. Such injuries sustained by Mr. Coyote have temporarily restricted his ability to make a living in the profession of predator. Mr. Coyote is self-employed and thus not eligible for Workmen's Compensation. Mr. Coyote states that on December 13th, he received of Defendant via parcel post one Acme Rocket Sled. The intention of Mr. Coyote was to use the Rocket sled to aid him in pursuit of his prey. Upon receipt of the Rocket Sled, Mr. Coyote removed it from its wooden shipping crate and sighting his prey in the distance, activated the ignition. As Mr. Coyote gripped the handlebars, the Rocket Sled accelerated with such sudden and precipitate force as to stretch Mr. Coyote's forelimbs to a length of fifteen feet. Subsequently, the rest of Mr. Coyote's body shot forward with a violent jolt, causing severe strain to his back and neck and placing him unexpectedly astride the Rocket Sled. Disappearing over the horizon at such speed as to leave a diminishing jet trail along its path, the Rocket Sled soon brought Mr. Coyote abreast of his prey. At that moment, the animal he was pursuing veered sharply to the right. Mr. Coyote vigorously attempted to follow this maneuver but was unable to, due to poor design and engineering on the Rocket Sled and a faulty or nonexistent steering system. Shortly thereafter, the unchecked progress of the Rocket Sled led it and Mr. Coyote into collision with the side of a mesa. Paragraph One of the Report of Attending Physician (Exhibit B), prepared by Dr. Ernst Grosscup, M.D., D.O., details the multiple fractures, contusions, and tissue damage suffered by Mr. Coyote as a result of this collision. Repair of the injuries required a full bandage around the head (excluding the ears), a neck brace, and full or partial casts on all four legs. Hampered by these injuries, Mr. Coyote was nevertheless obliged to support himself. With this in mind, he purchased of Defendant as an aid to mobility one pair of Acme Rocket Skates. When he attempted to use this product, however, he became involved in an accident remarkably similar to that which occurred with the Rocket Sled. Again, Defendant sold over the counter, without caveat, a product which attached powerful jet engines (in this case, two) to inadequate vehicles, with little or no provision for passenger safety. Encumbered by his heavy casts, Mr. Coyote lost control of the Rocket Skates soon after strapping them on, and collided with a roadside billboard so violently as to leave a hole in the shape of his full silhouette. Mr. Coyote states that on occasions too numerous to list in this document he has suffered mishaps with explosives purchased of Defendant: the Acme "Little Giant" Firecracker, the Acme Self-Guided Aerial Bomb, etc. (For a full listing, see the Acme Mail Order Explosives Catalog and attached deposition, entered in evidence as Exhibit C.) Indeed, it is safe to say that not once has an explosive purchased of Defendant by Mr. Coyote performed in an expected manner. To cite just one example: At the expense of much time and personal effort, Mr. Coyote constructed around the outer rim of a butte a wooden trough beginning at the top of the butte and spiralling downward around it to some few feet above a black X painted on the desert floor. The trough was designed in such a way that a spherical explosive of the type sold by Defendant would roll easily and swiftly down to the point of detonation indicated by the X. Mr. Coyote placed a generous pile of birdseed directly on the X, and then, carrying the spherical Acme Bomb (Catalog #78) climbed to the top of the butte. Mr. Coyote's prey, seeing the birdseed, approached, and Mr. Coyote proceeded to light the fuse. In an instant, the fuse burned down to the stem, causing the bomb to detonate. In addition to reducing all Mr. Coyote's careful preparations to naught, the premature detonation of Defendant's product resulted in the following disfigurements to Mr. Coyote: 1.Severe singeing of the hair on the head, neck, and muzzle. 2.Sooty discoloration. 3.Fracture of the left ear at the stem, causing the ear to dangle in the aftershock with a creaking noise. 4.Full or partial combustion of whiskers, producing kinking, frazzling, and ashy disintegration. 5.Radical widening of the eyes, due to brow and lid charring. We come now to the Acme Spring-Powered Shoes. The remains of a pair of these purchased by Mr. Coyote on June 23rd are Plaintiff's Exhibit D. Selected fragments have been shipped to the metallurgical laboratories of the University of California at Santa Barbara for analysis, but to date, no explanation has been found for this product's sudden and extreme malfunction. As advertised by Defendant, this product is simplicity itself: two wood-and- metal sandals, each attached to milled-steel springs of high tensile strength and compressed in a tightly coiled position by a cocking device with a lanyard release. Mr. Coyote believed that this product would enable him to pounce upon his prey in the initial moments of the chase, when swift reflexes are at a premium. To increase the shoes' thrusting power still further, Mr. Coyote affixed them by their bottoms to the side of a large boulder. Adjacent to the boulder was a path which Mr. Coyote's prey was known to frequent. Mr. Coyote put his hind feet in the wood-and-metal sandals and crouched in readiness, his right forepaw holding firmly to the lanyard release. Within a short time, Mr. Coyote's prey did indeed appear on the path coming toward him. Unsuspecting, the prey stopped near Mr. Coyote, well within range of the springs at full extension. Mr. Coyote gauged the distance with care and proceeded to pull the lanyard release. At this point, Defendant's product should have thrust Mr. Coyote forward and away from the boulder. Instead, for reasons yet unknown, the Acme Spring-Powered Shoes thrust the boulder away from Mr. Coyote. As the intended prey looked on unharmed, Mr. Coyote hung suspended in the air. Then the twin springs recoiled, bringing Mr. Coyote to a violent feet-first collision with the boulder, the full weight of his head and forequarters falling upon his lower extremities. The force of this impact then caused the springs to rebound, whereupon Mr. Coyote was thrust skyward. A second recoil and collision followed. The boulder, meanwhile, which was roughly ovoid in shape, had begun to bounce down a hillside, the coiling and recoiling of the springs adding to its velocity. At each bounce, Mr. Coyote came into contact with the boulder, or the boulder came into contact with Mr. Coyote, or both came into contact with the ground. As the grade was a long one, this process continued for some time. The sequence of collisions resulted in systemic physical damage to Mr. Coyote, viz, flattening of the cranium, sideways displacement of the tongue, reduction of length of legs and upper body, and compression of vertebrae from base of tail to head. Repetition of blows along a vertical axis produced a series of regular horizontal folds in Mr. Coyote's body tissues, a rare and painful condition which caused Mr. Coyote to expand upward and contract downward alternately as he walked, and to emit an offkey, accordion-like wheezing with every step. The distracting and embarrassing nature of this symptom has been a major impediment to Mr. Coyote's pursuit of a normal social life. As the court is no doubt aware, Defendant has a virtual monopoly of manufacture and sale of goods required by Mr. Coyote's work. It is our contention that Defendant has used its market advantage to the detriment of the consumer of such specialized products as itching powder, giant kites, Burmese tiger traps, anvils, and two-hundred-foot-long rubber bands. Much as he has come to mistrust Defendant's products, Mr. Coyote has no other domestic source of supply to which to turn. One can only wonder what our trading partners in Western Europe and Japan would make of such a situation, where a giant company is allowed to victimize the consumer in the most reckless and wrongful manner over and over again. Mr. Coyote respectfully requests that the Court regard these larger economic implications and assess punitive damages in the amount of seventeen million dollars. In addition, Mr. Coyote seeks actual damages (missed meals, medical expenses, days lost from professional occupation) of one million dollars; general damages (mental suffering, injury to reputation) of twenty million dollars; and attorney's fees of seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars. By awarding Mr. Coyote the full amount, this Court will censure Defendant, its directors, officers, shareholders, successors, and assigns, in the only language they understand, and reaffirm the right of the individual predator to equal protection under the law. --Mr. Harold Schoff, Attorney at Law (Please note that, unlike the other posts in this thread, mine is on-topic in misc.legal...) ![]() |

No luck. Can anyone out there translate the above sentence into modern English? Thanks in advance. P Innes' "British Language" defies translation. My favorite comment on Mr. Innes' skill in languages: "...Mr. Innes is certainly a linguist of remarkable originality. As a sample (or perhaps a campel), he has discovered that Old English was still spoken as late as the 1800s (which for some reason he takes to be the seventeenth century) and indeed that the tongue is *still* spoken, a result that would astonish professional linguists -- the sane ones, at any rate. Moreover, he has unearthed bits of the Latin lexicon of which Latinists were unaware -- e.g., "secuter." "Turning to modern languages, Mr. Innes has discerned grammatical features of which nobody else was aware in several modern tongues. For instance, he has discovered that English possesses a "negative case" -- it is evidently what grammarians formerly called a "double negative" -- and that the Russian first-person accusative and dative pronouns are identical, a fact that would surprise speakers of the language. He has also found that the verbs "love" and "leave" in Russian are identical, so that the surly exhortation "Love it or leave it" can be rendered in Russian without changing the verb in the second clause. Finally, he has enriched the lexicon of modern English immeasurably with neologisms like "clacque," "dillitantes," "insistance," "come" as a conjunction (in locutions like "poet come playwright"), and many others." |
