Your underground mexican economy had left-overs.

Avocados and almonds grow on trees, silly.

It's not like we can't consume crazily,

It's just very wrong.

Blame Government.

[cubby1223]

Why aren't you calling fox news a moron and a hypocrite when Tom is mooching and refuses to listen to cease and desist order by the court?

It's a Saturday evening. Go out and enjoy life.

That or create a thread exposing Al Gore's power consumption

Either way the misery spiral you're heading down, should be some interesting forum watching! Keep up the threads!

You can't blame the government for almonds; they're mentioned in the Book of Genesis. Avocados, I'm not sure about.

 

[Zorkorist]

18 Trillian dollars in debt, and there is very little I don't blame the Government for.

I think OP owes Magnum an apology. Seems like it was paid for and it was a guy or contractor that works for him getting the water.

Seems like Tom paid the 22k to investigate this too. God knows why this cost 22k to investigate.

I'd say this will shut the OP up, but they seem like one of the dumbest posters I've ever seen here.

If it was paid for, why would someone get a cease and desist order?

Good for me I don't care what anyone thinks.

Good luck shutting me up.

The rich tend to get away with stealing what they damn well want while pretending to blame the poor people. The ones who believe them at face value are the dumbest fucks on the earth.

No one wants to shut you up. You are much-needed comic relief.

Please share more of your wisdom.

When I was a young guy, people like Indus were referred to as being "touched". That is definitely not a PC term these days on a couple of levels. But, I think it adequately describes him.

Post after post after post, sometime two, three or more a day all with the same underlying theme which is, my team good, your team bad. It's juvenile behavior. Look at the title of this thread. It's like what, at a sixth grade level?

Sometimes we run the most egregious of these posters out of town on a rail. Sometimes we tolerate them for varying periods of time before we broom them. I personally think Indus' time has passed. But, I do see the comedy aspect to his postings it's just that his shtick is getting too predictable. Even if we're being trolled, which is something I can have some respect for, it's become old hat. No surprises, just predictability.

Best tend to the beam in your own eye, my friend. You've described yourself perfectly.

The order was a misunderstanding or maybe someone who works at Toms ranch bought water from someone who shouldn't be selling it, who knows. What we do know is Magnum was not attaching water trucks to hydrants to get free water.

Not going to read the whole thread, it would just make me dumber.

Water from a public hydrant that Tom Selleck has been accused of stealing from in dry California was legally purchased, an official said.

The Calleguas Municipal Water District in Ventura County sued the "Magnum, P.I." star, alleging that a tanker truck filled up at the hydrant and took it to Selleck's 60-acre ranch more than a dozen times in the past two years.

The district announced a tentative settlement with Selleck on Thursday.

Jay Spurgin, public works director for Thousand Oaks, said a construction company paid a fee to secure the rights to draw water from the city hydrant two years ago. About 1.4 million gallons of water were taken from the hydrant during that period.

"There was water used during that time, and it was paid for," he said.

Construction firms and contractors can obtain special meters that allow them to haul water from hydrants for large projects. Companies can draw as much water as they need or sell it to a third party as long as they pay the monthly service charge and water bill, Spurgin said.

The water meter in question was removed in June.

It's unclear if Selleck or his employees bought the water from the company or another source. A representative for Selleck didn't immediately return a request for comment on Friday.

The water district said it spent nearly $22,000 for a private detective to investigate.

District officials declined to provide details of the tentative settlement, which has to be approved by the water board next week.

California is grappling with a persistent drought, and the community where Selleck has his land is under mandatory cutbacks as high as 36 percent

LMAO!!!! @ OP

Water from a public hydrant that Tom Selleck has been accused of stealing from in dry California was legally purchased, an official said.

 

[Indus]

That is in complete contrast to the original article on Huffington Post which says:

Tom Selleck reached a tentative settlement Thursday in a lawsuit that claims he stole truckloads of water from a public hydrant and took it to his ranch in drought-stricken California.

Resource manager Eric Bergh with the Calleguas Municipal Water District in Ventura County said he could not provide any details about the agreement until it's approved.

The proposed settlement will go before the district's water board Wednesday.

"Staff recommendation will be to accept," Bergh said.

A representative for Selleck didn't immediately return a request for comment. Selleck's wife was also named in the suit.

The lawsuit filed by the Calleguas Municipal Water District claims a tanker truck filled up at a hydrant and hauled water to Selleck's 60-acre ranch in Westlake Village more than a dozen times in the past two years.

The district said it spent nearly $22,000 for a private detective to investigate.

The Ventura County Sheriff's Department investigated the allegations but was unable to establish that a crime had taken place, Capt. John Reilly said on Wednesday.

According to the district, officials sent Selleck cease-and-desist letters to stop the water deliveries, but as recently as March a truck was seen filling up at a hydrant and delivering water to the ranch.

California has been hard hit by a four-year drought, and the community where Selleck has his land is under mandatory cutbacks as high as 36 percent.

If he's not guilty, why would he want to settle?

And if the whole original article is trash and misleading, then fine, I apologize if the facts are wrong. Otherwise not a chance!

 

[Indus]

Seriously WTH is that? Huffington Post made that shit up to anger people up without the actual facts?

If so, it's as bad as Fox News.

Hmm maybe time to take it off my speed dial.

Why assume that the settlement is against Selleck? Knowing the facts now it possibly could be against the District Water board for false allegations or harrassment without cause against Selleck. The HuffPo piece, which honestly seems a bit slanted (no surprise from HuffPo) sure doesn't make it clear either way.

Hook, line, & sinker

It's just that way for everyone in this new age of competing against twitter. Media outlets must speculate first, report assumptions, then investigate facts. If they investigate first, they go out of business.

But it's the amount of unbridled anger that runs through your posts that's interesting.

One person is accused of something, and you immediately start linking it to this other thing, and to that other thing, and these people are bad, and these others should be ashamed, and you here on this forum are bad people for not being angry like me, and on and on and on




If you see a story about someone accused of stealing water, it's fine to post that as a thread and have an open discussion about it. It's all the immediate linking, rich Republicans are mooching, and Fox News is silent, and you all support it, a war against poor, so much unfairness, you all are hypocrites, your ideals are a farce deception against the rest of us!!!!!!!!


Take a deep breath.

Relax.

You seem to me to have managed to say all this without anger. A lot of folk who agree with you were not able to do that. They went straight for the condemnation.

 

[sm625]

WHERE IS THE FOX NEWS OUTRAGE? Oh right he gave lots of dollars to Romney so people would not mooch off the government but he's the moocher..

Are you implying that Romney would have done one single thing to reverse the course of mooching and leeching?

In today's age you have to use multiple sources and you need to just flat out avoid the ones that are blatantly bias. Faux, the blaze, huffpo, CNN. It's hard to find but there are actually some news reporters out there still though, they just get drowned out by the sensationalism news.

Yup. Sometimes you need to go to many, many sources to get a rough idea of the truth. I tend to hit BBC News or PBS (even though many think that PBS is a bastion of liberal heathendom )
