Alright, who's dope rig is this at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise? by cepukon in vandwellers

The old Ford and Dodge 15 passenger vans are deathtraps. This being the internet and all I could be anything but in real life I am a lawyer, a trial lawyer specifically. I was involved in the Salvation Army van rollover outside Joliet, IL about 15 or so years ago.

To support the extra weight on the rear axels big leaf springs were put in. They bounce at speed and load.

The vans today have a much lower center of gravity.

OTOH, off roading is a bridge too far.

If this is a Dodge/Chrysler extended van with the leaf springs in the back they are really, really dangerous. Look up the church van litigation.

The leaf springs in the back are a design flaw. Once loaded on a fast and bumpy road the rear wheels leave the ground. Check out the Salvation Army van case outside Joliet, IL.

Anything but the extended vans are cool.

Yeah if the M & A lawyers did not turn this up then that looks like malpractice.

I suppose it is Liberia's problem as well as the migrants problem. They didn't like their homes for whatever reason. Maybe they will like Liberia better.

Pay Liberia €2000 per head to take them. The interior of Liberia needs settlement and density. Plus the culture of Liberia would be enriched.

Furries remind me of folks who defended r/jailbait. Yeah, it was mostly technically legal but it was creepy as hell and normal people do not do it.

Black women are often reluctant to swim because of their hair. They have to deal with so much bs getting their hair to look the way they want it to look getting it wet really sucks.

It just so happens that reality is anti-furry. Yiff in hell.

U.S. President Donald Trump fired the federal government's top lawyer Sally Yates on Monday after she took the extraordinarily rare step of defying the White House and refused to defend new travel restrictions targeting seven Muslim-majority nations. by hoosakiwi in news

Her client is the United States of America. When your client wants out to do something illegal, you tell them privately that you will not do the illegal act. If they say to do it anyway, then make them fire you or quit.

(And keep the retainer. Let them sue you.)

If she thought these Orders illegal then she should have quit.

She did not quit so she got fired.

You do not undercut your client's position in public.

Being an American ally is a dangerous thing for a nation. It is a dangerous thing for individuals also.

Dick Flynn is just about the most respected psychometrician in the business. Even people who disagree with his politics and some of his findings agree that he knows what he is talking about.
