In fact, it's not even clear that what they did was illegal in any way.

I think the worst that one can say is that their actions were legally questionable and morally wrong.

Calling them thieves just makes you look ignorant to anyone who has actually studied the issue.


You're gay, and I was going to give you sh*t, because whether the law defines them as such or not, they're still thieves.  However, I've been thinking about In-n-Out all morning and I can't muster any rational thought in my mind at the moment.  So, what I'd like you to do, is get me a 4x4 and a large fries, then hop on a plane and deliver it to me.  And make it snappy, I have to be to work by 2:30.

Really pathetic, Funked.   You sound like a professional apologist for Liberals.   You have an extended stay in  Berkeley lately??  Or maybe Ocean Beach(San Diego)???  Careful, you might enter the "Twilight Zone" and become a Gray Davis fan next..........

Well long time no see all.
Checking in to drop my 2 cents in that wb situation.
Between AW and Wb I have been flying MMO for about 6 years.  the days on AW were magical and the same with my days in WB from ver 2.4 to 2.77 when by last year I pulled the plug in my account and headed to Ivan's theme park.. there were lots of people there and it was fun there for while until Ivan started to make the FM more "euro centric".  That and the fact that cheating had be come rampant there, left and figure I hold up until some thing struck me... (on a side note the boys at AGW got wind of my stay at the Ivan's play park and lock out my posting accounts there [sigh]). I guess I'm pesona non grata or something like that.  Oh well, they could always be a bit vindictive there.  Any way, my feelings about wb is that it will die, the code should and will live on some were.  In the mean time I did try AH and it is interesting but it just didn't hit with me... So I waiting with deep breaths for TK the promises land of MMO flight sims and hope the magic can happen again.

It saddens me to see WB dieing.  I had many good times and hope that there is a happy ending there.  But I don’t think so.  As the days close over at WB I hope the best to those that have lost jobs and are sustaining hurt do to the death of WB.  I figure it going to get down right mean over there until the fire sale and someone picks up the ball again.  Unfortunately,  I suspect TK will draw way the homeless, Hard core like me and it will only live in the land of IVAN.  That’s I think is the future.  Any rate, Like with AW, WB will live in the hearts and mind of those that lived those heady, magical times, in the closing days of the twentieth century

OB a liberial bastion?  LMAO!  OB is just our little version of Venice Beach and by no means any sort of hot bed of liberal activism.

Let's try and keep this thread on serious and important matters. Do you have your In-and-Out burger "animal" style or regular?

Cabby I like PB much better than OB.  And even the lefties have turned against Davis now.  He is going to be recalled.  I don't see how me reading the dictionary and being aware of the legal definition of theft makes me a leftie though.
Pei Animal style is not my thing.  They make very nice freshly baked buns.  4x4 gives you the optimum ratio of beef/cheese/bread.
SOB I ate your order, sorry.
Mini-Pee-Pee I love you too.  All I'm saying is that if you look up theft in the law book, or you look up theft in the dictionary, it doesn't fit what the Freebirds guys did.  Like I said, it's morally wrong and legally questionable, but it's definitely not theft by the strict definition.

hmmm...I've only had the pleasure of going to In-n-out once (well, a few times within a couple of days).  I'll have to try them animal style next time, from the description it sounds like it'd be good that way.

Wow Parasite is the correct term for you Boroda, nothing less. And only a parasite would attempt to hide behind nuances in english and 'legaleese' in the way you have done.

I have no love from IEN, but you have done nothing short of kick them in the guts when they are down. Are you the sort of person that would steal food from a hungry child? You mock their angry reactions, yet everyone knows IEN is struggling to make a living, these men have families to feed and you take revel in taking their income away? What sort of reaction did you expect.

Of most concern is that IEN is looking like its on its last legs. So where do the parasites go next once their current 'host' is dead? I hope its not AH.

When I was unsatisfied with IEN I closed my account and HTC got my subscription. If you feel equally unhappy then that is where it should have ended for you too.

You disgust me.
