Exactly why can’t you say that one? When they don’t take ‘no’ for answer, there’s a problem.
Three words: Terms of Service.
Who the hell cares if a boxer makes comments about gay rights?
What’s he going to do, hit anyone that disagrees with him? Get over it and move on.
ETA: Oops. He’s running for political office in the Phillipines. Okay, yeah, he can have a bigger impact than I thought.
Congratulations on your promotion to asshole, which once again proves the Peter Principle.
Dear $Municipalities
No, it is not kosher to try and claim 30 years of arrears from a new buyer (yes, it is happening here in SA - see http://www.iol.co.za/news/south-africa/new-property-owners-liable-for-historical-debt-1984917 )
That judge must’ve smoked something.
Lazy buggers - they should be more proactive in keeping arrears to a minimum, but noooo, that is just too much work to do.
Wow. That has to be the most cock-eyed decision ever in real estate law.
Back when I worked for Cingular, one of the supervisors had her electricity cut off, in the middle of winter, because the utility company decided to charge her for bills going back three years - due to the replacement of a faulty electric meter. But they had just moved in a couple months previous.
She had to house her kids at a motel, so they’d have heat and hot water. I never heard if there was a resolution to that situation.
I never have understood how utilities can do back billing like that. I’m sure it dates back to something that made sense at the time, like renters leaving and coming back to reset the bill or something.
This then went to the SCA, which held that the hypothec, or lien, that exists in favour of the local municipality to secure amounts owing by the owner of a property to that municipality for rates and services is not extinguished by the transfer of the property from the owner who incurred the debts.
This sounds semi reasonable, you can’t discharge a debt by selling the property. But this works in the US, where you don’t generally have property taxes collected incorrectly for years, or electricity illegally wired up to the house. You can’t sell a house here that doesn’t have a clear title, and any home inspector would flip at jury rigged electricity or gas. You just don’t usually have problems from years ago popping up here. (Usually, but when they do it’s a nightmare.)
If the government can’t reliably asses the property and bill for property taxes, and the electric company can’t reliably guarantee its bills, then this is a nightmare.
Money talks.
Unfortunately, in some cases it says “'ere, 'arf a cold, hard shafting”.

Fixed that for you.
It’s not just the most cock-eyed decision in real estate law, or even the most cock-eyed in law.
How about I go back to my employer from 30 years ago and tell them that I actually worked longer hours than they paid me for and that they now owe me another $30k (adjusted for inflation and interest). I would be laughed out of town - and justifiably so.
I’ll bet you $500 that you can’t guess the alcohol content of Draino.
By taste.
Sorry, I make it a personal rule not to drink things with a pH above 12. 
You really are this stupid, aren’t you? Rapper 50 Cent says he’s broke, yet he can spell out the word “BROKE” in stacks of $100 bills. Quite a few are held together with rubber bands, but the first picture is showing about 60 stacks. They’re about the same thickness as the ones in the second picture which have the currency strap on them, which contain 100 bills each.
So that one picture alone shows he’s got at least $600,000, assuming he didn’t pad any of them out with $1 bills like what he’s got in his hand. The other two have 160 stacks in them, and assuming he didn’t re-use the same stacks for those two other pictures, that’s another $1.6 million.

There is a reason he made his money in rapping instead of nuclear physics.
And dude, that is such a lame rapper fridge. A tub of butter and condiments, and the butter is sitting all cockeyed. That was always my favorite part of the few MTV Cribs I watched, was the fridge shot.
Fiddy made his money on Vitamin Water. When the brand started up, he agreed to be their spokesmodel for $5M and 5% equity. Vitamin Water was later sold for $4.1B.
That’s hilarious.
And how the hell do you go that far in debt with that much money. ( I know how, but damn!)
I look at dudes like Bilzarian and how he just pisses money everywhere and I wonder how these guys do so much worse with theirs. Is it the amount of money they start with or is Bilzarian smarter than he seems with his money?

I think there are 4 letters missing from that sentence.

What kind of idiot starts a raid, knowing that there will be flying mobs, without any players that can hit flying creatures? Warriors and gunners can’t hit flying creatures. So instead of waiting for an archer or a mage to join the raid, you start the raid, at half strength, with only a gunner and a warrior.

THAT IS NOT WHAT THAT SYMBOL MEANS!
Today’s annoyance is brought to you by the Pound (Sterling) Sign; £
The Pound Sign is a letter L. It comes from Libra Ponda meaning “measured weight”, whereas Libra where we get the pound weight abbreviation lb just means “weight”. But none of this matters really, what matters is that it is a letter L.
So that large sign in your window that says SAL£ actually says SALL not SALE. And all the supermarkets to this. ALL OF THEM. IT IS INFURIATING.
