Before you posted, others brought up tort reform, then a problem was defined AND a solution offered. Solution using basic logic as even taught in high school science. Do you read before jumping to conclusions? Instead Yesman065 later responded:

Um, Excuse me? Who the fuck do you think you are and what the fuck is your problem?
Your own words say you have a problem performing basic logic. Use of the word “fuck” says you are a product of extremist conservative training where basic logic is replaced by bullying. So prove me wrong. Surprise me. Use logic. Demonstrate that you can still define a fact using what was taught in junior high school science.

Yesman065 has solutions for 'tort reform'. Impose dictatorial restrictions on all juries. Yesman065 was asked to first define the problem. Is it lawyers, juries, or the judge? How can Yesman065 post a solution when he cannot first define the problem? Did he really forget how to think logically? Or should we "fully expected the "knee-jerk" reaction" from him.

Yesman065 demonstrates a serious problem in America. Yesman065 somehow knows what should be imposed on juries. But Yesman065 cannot first define a problem. By posting
Quote:

Yesman065 uses a political agenda as a replacement for basic logic. Classic Limbaugh logic. Yesman065 forgot to also blame Hilary.

Demonstrated: some American citizens cannot even grasp junior high school science principles. How does a jury with too many Yesman make an informed and logical verdict? They don’t. So how do we legislate this Yesman problem?

Demonstrated by Yesman065 is another problem in juries. People using an extremist political agenda, the word "fuck", accusations based only in emotion, and total disregard for logical thought (as taught in junior high) ... somehow these people have all the answers. Problem first need not be defined. Apparently we don't need tort reform. Apparently we need laws that require one to define a problem before imposing dictatorial solutions. Once, people graduated from junior high school having learned how to form facts and perform basic logic. Laws were not necessary. Hypothesis and experimental evidence. Somehow simple science got lost on Yesman065. He need not even define a problem because he already has solutions – and four letter words to prove it.

What alternatives are there to rectify the situation?
Did you miss the above tw??? Or are you above answering others questions? You again come off as some "holier than thou" ass by acting like you are right and there is no other answer. You try again ands see if you can answer the simple questions without a dissertation on your opinions of me, especially since you don't know squat about me.

I wouldn't mind sleeping with someone who is witty, charming, smart, liberal, and good-looking, which means I wouldn't ever consider sleeping with GDub!:p

I hope you remembered to be offended when Georgie got the cod piece vote last time around.

Since the initial impression is that the four letters are T, O, R, and another T... well...

Hillary makes too many folks skin crawl. Edwards has a fair shot but I want divided government from here on out, so hopefully the GOP will get over the kook phase and start pushing conservatives.

I loved Ibram as an early teen prodigy.

He didn't disappoint as a later teen.
Apart from a brief spell of not believing in formal education (because it's a huge regret from my teens).

And as a young adult he is now sexy and intelligent.

I just wish he was happy. Sigh.
