Comment Re:Insurance is Legalized Gambling (Score 1) 238

I've been screwed over when I had State Farm and when I had Geico.

They generally will take care of the auto itself, but for anything medical, best to have an atty.

That way you can get your bills covered and some settlement too.

Never again will I be the nice guy that wants to be easy to work with, they don't expect that and will run roughshod over you, sorry to say, but that's the truth these days.

In the UK, third party costs are unlimited - you might not get your car repaired but the person you hit will see their life altering injury costs covered for as long as they need them.

Yeah, but what does that do for me getting a car back, something required for me to live and work in the US?

Getting my car back or replaced is the main thing I"m concerned with after a wreck (assuming that "I" am not injured).

I learned this awhile back.

The FIRST thing you do when in an auto accident, is get your lawyer involved from the get go.

If you don't have one, find a good one. You generally will get screwed if you try to handle insurance by yourself.

And really man, this is NOT a Republican thing by any stretch of the imagination. Insurance for the most part is now required in most all states and in lieu of it in some states, you must show that you have a bond or some sort of money saved to act as insurance.

Hey, I think it would be GREAT to now be able to live in the USA, and not speak spanish. Especially when traveling through TX and AZ. More and more it seems that English is becoming the 2nd language there and in other parts of the US.

Goodness, struck a nerve there, but tell me down-modders, what exactly did I say here that isn't really true.

Ok...while I actually applause most of what this wants to promote, I don't see how the Feds can possibly do this INTER-state nullification of the laws.

I can see how they might could try with INTER-state laws, but these are municipal and intRA-state laws they're talking about nullifying. If they can do this, what state laws can the feds NOT just nullify at will?

You know...someone that cannot be troubled to take the small amount of time and effort to register to vote, and go to the poll to vote, likely is also NOT the type of person to take any amount of time to study the issues or people up for election and therefore, not someone I'd actively encourage to make a vote.

No vote is better than an ill-informed / non-informed vote.
