My daughter had a credit card that had 23% interest. Should the government have paid off the interest? I sold my boat and my camper and added a weekend job to help pay for my son's tuition instead of taking a loan like you did. Should I get reimbursed? I didn't take any FEMA money. I have flood insurance. Should FEMA send me money anyway? Your pitiful justification for taking mine and other hardworking people's tax dollars (many of whom make much less than you do) is sickening.3 points -

14.2, no need to explain. He definitely don't know any Crosby history, you come from a Football (RB) family. By many accounts (of course debatable) your Dad (RIP) was one of the best RBs ever to come out of Crosby/BST. I didn't see him play, but there are plenty that did and they are pretty close in their opinions. I also understand you did great work while up in the Dallas area with A&M Commerce. I left the Crosby area when you were playing HS but I heard good things.2 points -

Because there is still this little pesky thing called a balance. We, the taxpayers (who did not co-sign on you loan by the way) got stuck for the BALANCE of unpaid debt. I surely hope your degree was not in finance.2 points -

$100 extra on it a month would've paid it off years ago. with what you make you should've been able to do $1000 extra a month with no issue if you so chose to. Instead you paid the bare minimum, undoubtedly assuming you'd just do that forever with a few bucks a month and never have to fully pay it off. Things worked out even better for you, it appears.2 points -

You've had a loan for 20 years, make more than 4x the loan amount yearly, and haven't even made a dent in the loan? Nobody should be paying that loan but you. What terrible fiscal responsibility. That's inexcusable, as is the govt paying off loans for people doing it. There should be ZERO loan forgiveness, but if it's got to exist, it should be for people who actually need it. You do not. My wife took out 11K in student loans 3 years ago to get her masters and we've paid them off already, and neither us makes anywhere near $100K a year. We've managed that while paying a 15-year note on a mortgage and two car notes. It's really not difficult.2 points -
I completely disagree with this. I have no issue with anyone in the LGBTQ community, but have a major issue with political indoctrination of children. Teachers and schools should be teaching students how to think, not what to think. As a teacher myself, I would never ever consider bringing my politics into the classroom, or providing literature to students that pushes an agenda. Any teacher who does so should be fired. Any school board who encourages it should be disbanded. There are certain issues that for various reasons that the school should stay out of, and let parents teach their kids. This is one of them.2 points

Law Trivia and Discussions
thetragichippy and one other reacted to tvc184 for a topic
It is the Good Faith Exception. It works several ways but it is all linked together under the same rationale. One deals with the liability of an officer (civil and criminal) and the other is evidence gathered. Let’s say that an officer detains a person in Beaumont such as on a traffic stop. A warrant is found on the driver issued out of Houston and it is confirmed by the dispatcher. Obviously the officer in Beaumont can’t tell the guy with the warrant, “I need to drive to Houston to review the warrant and discuss the case with the officer and I’ll be back in about six hours so wait for me”. Heck, what if it was from another state? Wait here, I’ll be back in three days….. The officer serving the warrant in Beaumont is acting under good faith that the originating officer and the judge signing the warrant did their jobs correctly. If the officer in Houston or in another state made a mistake, is it the fault of the officer for making the arrest Beaumont? No. He acted in the good faith that the warrant was valid. If the warrant is later found to not have sufficient probable cause or is faulty in some other manner, it is not the fault of the officer in Beaumont. If it is not a warrant, the same doctrine applies. If Beaumont PD has a robbery and notifies area agencies of the vehicle and suspect description, can an officer from another agency stop a suspect vehicle? A couple have answered it correctly, yes. But only IF……. The vehicle or person detained has to reasonably match the information given by the originating agency. If BPD said two White males were seen in a small dark blue vehicle and another agency stops a pickup of any color with Black males…. Uhhhh, no. By the same reasoning, if BPD puts out information that the suspect vehicle left Beaumont approximately two minutes ago, at 12:05 AM and at 12:09 AM an officer around Orange stops a vehicle that does actually match the description, could the suspect vehicle have driven from Beaumont to Orange in 4 minutes? Again the answer is no. So the officer relying on information from another agency still is required to make a reasonable decision based on the information given. Receiving information from another officer is not carte blanche to start stopping everyone. Then the issue is, what about evidence found after a good faith detention, arrest or search? In the scenario I gave earlier, a BPD officer arrests a guy from Houston on a warrant. After what appears to be a lawful arrest, cocaine is found in the man’s pocket. Is it still admissible as evidence? The BPD officer made a lawful traffic stop (for example speeding) and made an arrest on what appeared to be a lawful warrant but it was later on appeal, found to be faulty. The officer in Beaumont clearly didn’t violate the person’s rights and didn’t violate the Fourth Amendment for making an unreasonable search because he had probable cause to believe that he was acting correctly. Is the evidence still valid to be used in court? I am not sure. From the cases I have seen, it appears as though the US Supreme Court says that it’s okay but the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals says it’s not okay. That would make it not okay if either court found it unlawful. So that is a Good Faith Exception. An officer is allowed to rely on what he believes to be valid information from another officer or from a warrant. That officer, however, still has to rely on a reasonable belief which is called “objective reasonableness” by the Supreme Court (the same standard for use of force). Objective reasonableness is defined by the Supreme Court as what a reasonable officer would believe when facing the same circumstances.2 points -
Just curious on your opinions. Had this discussion at work last week.

When Crosby is winning I think that it leads to everyone else getting interested because either A) they like to support the region (PNG, PAM, Beaumont Fans) or They really hate Crosby (Vidor, BH, Nederland, used to be Dayton.) So i'd be willing to bet that Crosby being good does wonders for the engagement levels of this website at the very least.2 points -

I saw that on the live chat. Maybe McKinney is way better than last season because I was sure that Longview would have won this for sure until I tuned in after halftime. I used to stay in Longview for 6 years and let's just say the fans on my Facebook feed isn't too happy about the loss either.1 point -

This is true, but you would think they would use that extra money to pay off THEIR debts rather than mooch off the taxpayers. How do you feel about PPP loans not being paid back? Do you think it's wrong to borrow money with the promise of paying it back and then gloating when someone else has to pay off YOUR debt? Because that is EXACTLY what you just did.1 point -
