Or did you mean "Mary man"?
Given one connotation of that phrase, not a chance.

You are mistaken - the Statute of Westminster 1931 and the ratification of said statute in Australia and New Zealand established the independence of several British dominions, including Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Each country is independent, and each is a country.
And since the US was around before 1931, it backs up the person who said we were oldfags.

His God lives on the planet Kolob, so perhaps we could ask him with a new SETI app.
I thought the Cylons controlled Kolob now?

>>> the police have no responsibility to give the recording in full to the defense
Yes they do. If it's later discovered they were withholding evidence, the defendent is automatically freed because he didn't get a fair trial. So the police have a responsibility to turn over everything (else they'd just be stupid).
It depends on whether or not there is exculpatory evidence on the tape and/or on the quality of the discovery motion. In many states, the police and prosecutors can tap dance around this with little or no concern for appellate reversal or civil suits.

I believe OP was using the car vs. house thing to illustrate income disparity within the US. The further implication is that those who are wealthier (the person with the pricey car in his example) are those who the police do not bother. This happens not as a result of differences in crime rates, but because of differences in power within society.
Either that or he was talking about Chaucer's Endless Summer.

QUALITY of care was of no importance whatsoever.
So you're saying that women make bad doctors, and that men are even better as ob/gyns?
No, he said that quality was orthogonal to the issue. It simply did not factor in.
Are you being purposefully obtuse, or did you just read GP comment too quickly?
