Couple of things really frost my ass...

1. Folks who don't think enough of us to join until they decide to get on a phuking soapbox and are looking for support. Then we become best buddies.

2. Folks who talk about the phuking law who know nothing about the phuking law.

I also don't like folks who call employees of companies and start dicking with the poor employee over some company policy, and then brag about it with a conversation transcript to show how phuking cool they are.

Lawyers (at least those outside of Montana) don't use the term "equal protection under the law" foir non-criminal or non-governmental action situations. There is no Constitutional guarantee of insurance. If insurance premiums are based on anything under Title VII (race, color, sex, being a bunghole bandit, disability, religion, etc.), then there is a case of discrimination. There is no such classification protection based upon the size of one's ass or whether someone is an ass.

I'd really love to see it when someone makes a case based upon what phuking car one drives...then someone will try to make a case based upon BB v. SB or what mfg was used.

There are state laws requiring insurance companies who do business in a particular state to provide particular types of insurance if they want to keep doing business in that state. That is generally based on making sure natural disasters are covered. Cobras are not a natural disaster.

We've had this conversation around here several times...amongst regulars...and after a few dozen pages, it always comes back to the need for our own hobby to start a safety and standards program, rather than buck up against private business that can decide (legally) to write us all off in a heartbeat.

I'm also moving this particular POS to the Lounge...
