My wife left me!

So nice to see our "friendly" little Russian forum taking center stage. I'm so damn proud!

Dear Mags, for once, I almost agree with you.

I think a little bit of politeness wouldn't go amiss here. You may all disagree, but some of you here are being pretty disrespectful to one another. Play nice or I'll stick my mod hat on and bash you all over the head with a cushion.

Occasionally Whiny. Often Cheesy. A Toast to the Trivial Things of Life!

ooooo i'd pay good money for that if you wear a fishnet body suit too

Dear Mags, for once, I almost agree with you.

She's talking to you Jefferey, you know that don't you? She hates that you and Alla continue to wear your Valentine's heart hats almost 2 weeks after the day.

(I too wouldn't mind seeing the fishnet body suit. Just sayin'...)

I would happily wear the fishnet bodysuit, unfortunately Platy was wearing it the other night and it's a little stretched.

The hat's too much, then?

Remember this day well, fellow Ruskies. One day we will sit around the kitchen table drinking vodka and eating pelmeni, and talk of the day that Brazilians, Canadians, Brits, and moderators came to our forum en masse. The newbies will stare in slack-jawed wonder, insisting we're drunk and just making this ####### up. Then Jefferey will slowly pull the charred remnants of a fishnet stocking and his Valentine's hat out, and everyone will be silent.

I am so sorry to hear that. Your family is in my prayers...

...and then we will snort vodka and pelmeni through our noses, and the silence will be broken...

Such threats are a clear violation of the TOS.

See:

"Permitted Uses....you agree that when using the Service, you will not:

Restrict or inhibit any other user from using and enjoying the Forums"

Moderators are not exempt:

"Moderators.... Their actions and liabilities are fully bound by the TOS."

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...&page=terms

After reading that I think it is reasonable for many members to feel threatened when they express their opinions.

Anyway,

As to AK's debate on foreseeability here is my take:

In law we punish someone civilly (tort) or criminally based on a concept of actual and proximate causation. Thus the actor must (1) be the "but for" (actual) because of an action and (2) be the legal proximate cause (foreseeable) cause. So everyone easily meets the first part "but for" causation in terms of B being offended that A stole his car. Being offended might also be foreseeable, but having B take his anger out on random group of people is not foreseeable.

When something is foreseeable we call it an intervening cause and when something is not we call it superseding. So one classical example is A is at fault in a car accident hurting B. B goes to the hospital and his doctor commits malpractice causing him to die. But for the doctor's actions B would have lived. Should we hold A the original tortfeaser liable? Surprisingly the answer is yes. An example of superseding causes in the same situation is A driving a gas tanker negligently drives it overturns the truck. Gasoline spills onto the sidewalk and runs 15 blocks down the street. B a random criminal lights a match and damages C's property 15 blocks away. Should we hold A liable? Answer no.

Also,

Weren't the cannibal jokes really random and uncalled for by the "drive by" posters? With so many threads on here, wouldn't one of such incredible importance such as cannibalism have its own thread in the "off-topic" forum?

I know my friend! Alla insists we continue to wear them until the end of February. She considers we should have all of February be for Valentine's and love!

The new hats are just around the corner!

She's talking to you Jefferey, you know that don't you? She hates that you and Alla continue to wear your Valentine's heart hats almost 2 weeks after the day.

My apologies to MyAngel2, but your post made me laugh harder than any of Kirk's recent zingers. Maybe read the whole thread next time! :lol:
