3	Warrant issued for man's arrest for dipping out on bad date and her leeching tag-a-longs who expected him to pay So, I really don't see what you're trying to argue, then; that it's wrong to draw conclusions supported by facts? That it's wrong to post quasi-entertaining things on the Internet? Help me out here.	/r/MensRights	16/04/12 05:35 PM
6	Warrant issued for man's arrest for dipping out on bad date and her leeching tag-a-longs who expected him to pay Two of those are out the window right away. The police have charged him with theft This is an independent act by a third party that only spoke to one party involved; the women. The police only heard their side of the story, and then made phone calls (of questionable constitutionality, might I add) to the man and performed no other follow-up beside issuing charges. You're setting up a tautology here; the police charged him with theft, so he must be a thief. The women claim he sent "derogatory t…	/r/MensRights	16/04/12 05:23 PM
1	Warrant issued for man's arrest for dipping out on bad date and her leeching tag-a-longs who expected him to pay You're forgetting that the women don't have the standing to press charges for theft. It's the restaurant. The restaurant is the only one that provided any services that night, all misogynistic innuendo aside. At trial, the restaurant would need to provide a representative that would testify, under direct examination by the prosecutor, to the value of the goods and services provided to the defendant, here, the man. The prosecutor would call the police officer who dealt with the incident as a witn…	/r/MensRights	16/04/12 05:13 PM
7	Warrant issued for man's arrest for dipping out on bad date and her leeching tag-a-longs who expected him to pay So what you're trying to say today is that by your standards, drawing any sort of conclusions from any set of facts is "moronic?"	/r/MensRights	16/04/12 05:07 PM
6	Warrant issued for man's arrest for dipping out on bad date and her leeching tag-a-longs who expected him to pay "No basis" would be if the commenter took the news article and re-told Jurassic Park in this thread as a morality play about sexual fidelity. There's plenty of basis for his take on this. Guy goes on blind date, leaves date and her friends with the bill. That's the simplest, most unbiased version of the story. Anything else is biased by your definition, and thus irretrievably flawed and unsuitable for any purposes. You seem smart. I'm not trying to give you a hard time. It just seems like you're…	/r/MensRights	16/04/12 05:02 PM
5	Warrant issued for man's arrest for dipping out on bad date and her leeching tag-a-longs who expected him to pay That's promissory estoppel. That's in every common-law country, including the U.S., NZ, Canada, Nigeria, etc.. It also takes GOOD FAITH REASONABLE reliance. You can't rely on me saying that since you're the best Internet commenter, I'm going to give you a $100 check. Besides, all the contract stuff is civil law, and we're in a criminal setting, so it's all out the window.	/r/MensRights	16/04/12 04:58 PM
18	Warrant issued for man's arrest for dipping out on bad date and her leeching tag-a-longs who expected him to pay Let's face the first fact here: the news report is total hearsay. It's written by a reporter whose motive is to increase readership and derive profit from that. Second; none of us know what went on. We're drawing conclusions based on personal experience and vague bits of information we pull out of the article. It's basically a Rohrschach diagram; what you see is what you want to see. Third; you're assuming that all parties involved are truthful. The FIRST THING they teach you as a police officer…	/r/MensRights	16/04/12 04:47 PM
15	Warrant issued for man's arrest for dipping out on bad date and her leeching tag-a-longs who expected him to pay The other huge fly in the ointment is the inability to pay. Doesn't everyone carry a debit card? Couldn't two of them have stayed while one drove home, grabbed her wallet, and ponied up the cash? Also, for any agreements to be enforceable, they have to be supported by consideration. The basic example of consideration is just quid pro quo; I give you $1 in consideration for you giving me a bottle of Coke. They may have had an agreement, but it sure as hell wasn't legally enforceable. Morally, may…	/r/MensRights	16/04/12 04:37 PM
3	Warrant issued for man's arrest for dipping out on bad date and her leeching tag-a-longs who expected him to pay You're basing your criticism of the article on an extrinsic piece of evidence. The quotes weren't real. We don't have a police report from which we can draw information. For all we know, the women may have been perfectly in the right. What you should look at is the absurdity of the whole situation; a person is charged with theft of services when there are three other people at a table, all of whom claim a complete inability to pay, an inability to drive somewhere and obtain money for payment whi…	/r/MensRights	16/04/12 04:32 PM
25	Warrant issued for man's arrest for dipping out on bad date and her leeching tag-a-longs who expected him to pay You're forgetting a few important facts: -Did he know going in that he'd be paying for four people? -What did everyone order? $95 is a pretty good tab for four people. -Did the friends show up at the beginning, or did they come later and run the tab up because they wanted to be Sex and the City. -What did the investigating officer do? From the text of the article, he tried to violate the guy's 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination by calling him. And seriously, would you believe a phone…	/r/MensRights	16/04/12 04:15 PM
2	Warrant issued for man's arrest for dipping out on bad date and her leeching tag-a-longs who expected him to pay Also, the place is fairly expensive. A plate of nachos is like $10.	/r/MensRights	16/04/12 04:13 PM
10	Warrant issued for man's arrest for dipping out on bad date and her leeching tag-a-longs who expected him to pay Just for background; Westlake is pretty much the opposite of a dangerous city. The place where they were is the prototypical suburban, cookie-cutter mixed-use mall. It's roughly as dangerous as your living room.	/r/MensRights	16/04/12 04:09 PM
