The vehicle in violation is legally registered in the name of the rental car company. The entity to whom the vehicle was registered is responsible for fines; if it is a teenager driving mom's car runs a red light at gets seen, then his mother will get the ticket; if I loan you my care and you park on the courthouse lawn, I'll be responsible for the fine, because it was my property that was in a forbidden area. Tell me how it works in Europe - is it a valid defense to say that it wasn't you driving the car in traffic court?

that may or may not have been worth anything at all

Well gosh, I don't know what to say. With that amount of evidence we might as well just skip to sentencing.

It's the same as when MS "donates" software with a high-dollar-value to a school district and tries to lock them into the MS tool chain or upgrade cycle.

I have to admit, I am guilty of this. I gave a guy a car once, and he planned his life around the use of that car. Now he is doomed to the hell that is the GMC part dealers or upgrade cycle. I can't believe how selfish it was of me. Shame on me.

Try tallying the carbon footprint and resource consumption of a yacht versus a garden.

Heheheheheh, yeah, I'm sure you're really concerned about those things, even when not pretending to ``be an intellectual'' online social crusader, right?

Also consider how many lives you could save with how much it costs to build a massive yacht.

How many lives could you be saving right now, were you not posting on Slashdot? Zero, because you are a pathetic, autistic, worthless loser who has to play an armchair psychoanalyst and ethic philosopher just to muster enough petty joy to avoid killing yourself.

If they never talk to you again then they have no reason to like you enough to give you anything. As the scum that is willing to participate in something like this aren't very trustworthy themselves, they likely will just take the $500 and leave.

That's the problem with running a gang of thieves and thugs, it's always a wolves and sheep puzzle with these people.

Their anger was legitimate, as is Israel's and Palestine's perhaps. This is a very good analogy, as the Europeans and American's were a bunch of monsters, but the natives weren't a band of happy-go-lucky people living in harmony with the land either. They liked to scalp innocents in their bloodlust just as much as Whites' liked to systematically starve them and infect them with disease. Of course, at the time, no one paid attention to all the treaties the US broke to exterminate them, and many people got rich off the newly annexed land. With time, we've come to be a bit more honest with ourselves, which is something that Israel has yet to do. How will history view Israel's conquest I wonder....

There's blame on all sides. The Palestinians and Israelis both act like a bunch of violent monsters. I don't even really care that Israel is matching their butchery. That is, after all, how wars are won, and I'm not directly effected. It's not something that I like my government to be apart of, and I especially hate it when Israel tries to present itself the beacon of morality in the region, and pretend that they are any more dignified than the Muslims. The entire region is full of greedy, hateful thugs and I wish they would both stop spilling blood over a meaningless desert and go away.
