it's NOT a strict law or such - more like catch phrases such as "Murphy's Law" or "Catch 22" ? ? ?

There is a play and several movies called "Hobson's Choice." Hobson's Choice means that there appears to be a choice, but in reality, there is no choice.

sounds like the article's generalising at a rate of noughts, & so afaic it means don't take it remotely seriously.\n, you'd bee wasting your time

sounds sticky, I would say no but could be wrong.  there is no stipulation on robbery as long as there is some one willing to prosecute.

Try saying "Don't meddle in my business." I like the direct approach.

There are instances where the phrase is correct. For instance, many people have died in the new teen hobby called car surfing. They hang on to the roof of a car while its going 40 mph and up. Doing something that dangerous simply for fun is incredibly stupid. If someone died from that, they really have no one to blame but themselves. Therefore the term would be correct in that instance. This is just one example, but I believe the term does make sense.

lol I dont think it matters. They are commonly used phrases in society and I dont take them literally. When I say such things, it is not premeditated, they just come out.so there is no real meaning behind them. Im not actually talking to a god or damning something to that non existent place at all.

I had to read this about 6 times....but I got it.  \n\nThe key word is "illegal".\n\nI tried to make a valid argument to disagree......but I couldn't...you covered all your bases.  \n\nYou make your point....in a very ugly, condescending and ridiculous way...but you make it.  I wish I could do that.

I can't believe only one person came up with:\n\n"How did you sign a contract agreeing to anything when you were under the age of 18?"\n\nIt's not valid.\n\nAnd, I don't think there's any good chance of anybody recognising you.\n\nBut.\n\nThe answers with "call the store manager, and explain" are not too far off the mark. What you want to say is:\n\n"I know I was stupid at the time and it's not a mistake I've made since then."\n\nI shoplifted a bit of junk when I was 13, on a lark; got caught, got "banned" from that mall, and -- well, that was my first go at it -- and now? I'd forgotten all about it until your question.\n\nWhat you signed is not a valid contract. And, from the sounds of it, not enforceable under any common law. Just go back.\n\nTop job on never stealing again...!

The only way they know how.  That's just a little bit more than the law will allow.\n\nBut it's ok because they don't mean no harm.

It's only illegal if you get caught. \nHaaaaha.

It's that Murphy's Law thing. You know, we really need to impeach that Murphy guy for writing those stupid laws!

Many, many years ago, I once had a boss tell me that he expected more from his better employees than his slackers.  Not fair, but I can understand the reasoning behind it and I also think kinda the same way because some people have more talent or abilities than others and more should be expected of them. Boy, I'm going to get into trouble for this!! What I liked about him  was that he was honest about it.  \n\nNowadays, it seems we have to be careful about everything we say. Where is this screwy country headed? Things like the above could be grounds for a lawsuit I suppose.

It's basically saying "I can but you can't". If you make separate rules for yourself than you are playing the hypocrite. It's the same as when black people use the N word.

We all know laws are written vaugely & that they are so long & complex that reading one in full would probably kill more brain cells than main lining tequila. Sometimes they're vauge on purpose... meaning they can be interpreted situation to situation as appropriate, but still I know what you mean. If you have some proposal for more common sense in government I'd be happy to hear it.

There are no laws on things like this. It's an open capitalist economic system. All emplyers basically set their own guidelines outside of polution and safety.
