Another one to add to the list that includes 'Flying has nothing to
do with being in the air' perhaps?

This is all gold. we should start a special archive.

I gave up responding to MX's stupid, argumentative posts long ago but
I continue to lurk...just for daily laughs. But I have to come out of
the shadows to say that you are right...this one is absolutely 100%
pure gold!! Between the single pilot ballast question and the "I
can't leave my mommy's apt and walk because I might spend money", its
all too much to take. Pure gold.



There was another aviatin k00k years ago named John Tarver who came up
with some similar gems. Someone archived them into a web site entitled
something like the wit and wisdom of J Tarver. He was hilarious too, but
he was better flamebait, forever calling people hamsters and insisting
that we were all his puppets and so on.
Scary thing was, he actually did work on airplanes.

That's not my problem.

There is no place in the United States where you will be arrested
simply for not carrying money.

If you contradict this, I agree with the consensus of this group that
you are a moron.

Really?
How many?

Finally something you can speak with authority about!

Yes, they do, on my sim,

Fortunately for you since you have so many already.

No. What gave you that impression?

Your stated concern for being arrested for vagrancy simply by walking outside
without money.

I said "you CAN BE cited or even arrested," and I did not impose any
geographical restrictions.

Vagrancy and disorderly-conduct laws are common throughout the U.S.,
especially at local government levels, despite their questionable
Constitutionality and variable enforcement.

If you contradict this, I agree with the consensus of this group that
you are a moron.

So you dismiss anything that contradicts your own opinion (apparently
independently of its veracity). It's unusual to see an explicit admission of
such a prejudice. Anyway, there is no consensus concerning me, as the vast
majority of persons reading this newsgroup have not offered an opinion.

I highly doubt that you would be cited or arrested for vagrancy simply
because you were not carrying money on your person, even in France.

More likely, you would only be stopped if you were begging or harrassing
people during your walks. Maybe if you started picking people's pockets. It
might also apply if you were street performing. I doubt it would happen if
you were simply walking around getting excercise or fresh air. I haven't
been to France for a very long time, but when I was there, I walked around
a fair amount and was never approached by police spot-checking my wallet.

The act of not carrying money is not in and of itself vagrancy. A vagrant
also does not have a permanent home, and refuses to take on employment.
Although probably not spelled out (especially in French lawbooks) they
would also need to "look the part" in order to be even suspected.

Do you look so much like a bum that you would fear being stopped and
arrested simply for walking the streets? This must present a serious
obstacle for your tour guide business.

Tarver was an evolution denier, too.

He was tons of fun in talk.origins.
