What court do you use? None. You'll spend a bunch of money and you won't be
able to recover any damages because...you don't HAVE any. Ask one of your
neighbors to pick it up if you're going to be away. Or if you really have a
lot of spare time on your hands, contact your local government and see if
the problem might come under some type of littering ordinance. But a
lawsuit? You gotta be kidding.

I would give them written notice that from that day forward their paper
is unwanted and you will have them cited for littering if you find the
paper on your property. My buddy did that with a local paper that
wouldn't stop and actually had them cited. Shortly after that I had the
same issue and calling them and informing them I would have them cited
was enough to stop the delivery.

Forget the founder or his kid. Talk to the kid who is delivering it on
Sunday Morning. Tell him your reasons, either rationally or
irrationally, chances are he won't want to have yourself waiting to see
him next Sunday.

Someone fought that issue locally and wasn't able to get anything done,
including prosecution for littering.

Any idea where the "kid" lives? He might need a spare copy, or two or
three (your neighbors might want to donate theirs). Alternatively, the
lawn or sidewalk in front of the business might work.

Lawsuit? Who said anything about a lawsuit, counselor? I'm taking about some
form of restraining order or directive from the court to stop littering,
trespassing, or breaking whatever ordinance I can find may apply. Of course
there's no personal injury sustained. I know how to file a lawsuit; don't
need that.

They've had written notice three times. The third time - to ensure
delivery - the notice (a simple copy of the prior two) went certified return
receipt. I've got a signature of an employee or agent. Soooo... they've
received notice. Next step... some legal action from the county or me (but
certainly not a lawsuit).

Thought of that, Jeff, and may well do that. Only problem is the window of
delievery is from 5:30AM to as late as 11AM. That's a hell-o-va long time to
sit in from of a front window. My neighbors will think I'm nuts!

I've paid my paper carrier extra to deliver my subscription to the door for
thirty years. The unsolicited, unsubscribed "rag" is thrown on the driveway
apron and left in the street when the deliverer looses arm. I don't wanna'
walk to the apron or street every Sunday when I AM home. If I do that... why
pay extra to have the subscription paper delivered?

The fix has to be made with the paper, who in turn feels pressure enough to
lean on the delivery agent.

Okay, when you say "the founder's kid," do you mean the person who
delivers the paper owns it?

After having three children who did paper routes, I can say that
probablyi the most effective way to get it stopped is to call the
newspaper every single time you get it and complain that you don't want
it on your driveway -- not the carrier, the newspaper. If the carrier
is a contractor, they will be penalized for complaints, and it should stop.

We stopped exchanging with the grown siblings and the neices/nephews years
ago. I have 4 (grown) kids of my own, my sister has 3, my brother has 2.
None of us can afford to shop for all those people.

We get together with that side of the family on Christmas Eve, have pizza
from a local shop, and just visit. Sometimes we do exchange new or more
current family photos, but the money train stopped years ago. It was a
relief for all believe me.

Another pig ignorant lie. The govt cuts taxes to deal with that.

Taxes that are already one of the lowest in the entire modern
first world when measured as a percentage of GDP per person.

And the federal surpluses are an entirely separate
matter to the country's exports anyway.

Irrelevant to whether we STILL export more to Japan than we import

Your original claim now at the top was and still is a pig ignorant lie.

So your pig ignorant lie now right at the top was always just that.

Much of what we export to China is for domestic consumption too,
essentially because we dont on the whole sell to China too much of
what it exports to the rest of the world in processed form. We have
always done much more of that with Japan, particularly the metal and
ore exports. Most of the iron ore exports to china are currently ending
up in domestic consumption, particularly in building and construction etc.

Precisely, so your claim at the top is just plain wrong.

Thats just plain wrong with the car industry particularly.

Another pig ignorant lie with cars particularly.

Irrelevant to that pig ignorant lie of yours now right at the top

And that STILL produces a positive balance of trade in OUR favour with Japan
and China, something that neither Canada, the US or the EU can manage.

Never ever did that. I JUST rubbed your pig ignorant nose in the FACT
that we have a positive balance of trade in OUR favour with Japan and
China, something that neither Canada, the US or the EU can manage
and that there are very few chinese employed in our mining industrys.

> Go dig up the records from as recently as 10 years back.

Dont need to, I've been investing in the mining industry for going on 50
years now thanks, and making a lot of money in the process myself.

> You mining boom predicates on Chinese demand.

Another pig ignorant lie. We had a positive balance of trade in OUR favor
even when that fool Mao was damaging the chinese economy very severely
indeed and even now we STILL sell a lot more to Japan than to China.

> Canada's extractive resources boom is also due to Chinese demand,

No it isnt, most obviously with aluminium. In fact fuck all of canadian exports end up in china.

Fuck all of which ends up in china.

Its MUCH less important than the US, EU and Japan in fact.

Another pig ignorant lie. We have always had such a shortage of that
sort of ape that those industrys employ hordes of new immigrants.

Another pig ignorant lie. We have completely eliminated
that problem in most of the mining industry.

Another pig ignorant lie. We have always had such a shortage of that

And dont end up as engineers in the mining industry

Another pig ignorant lie.

Nope, its might just be the main reason I'm rolling in it, unlike you.

Guess who just got egg all over its silly little pig ignorant face, yet again ?

I happen to have better professional qualifications from university than the
absolute vast bulk of chinese in this country have. Technical skills in spades.

> All your pontificating, posturing and plain pissing off impresses no one.

Your pig ignorant lies about the australian economy in spades.

Your flagrantly racist claims about chinese in spades, every single person
who has chosen to comment has noticed your problem in that area.

Huh? Degree(s) from which university and year of graduation(s). Your
professional affliations. These are easy enough to confirm with the
click of a mouse.

Yep. Skills of the spade (and prick) kind. Your technical expertise
is in gutter language ( the prick part.) That figures. You were
born there and never got out of the gutter. You are too comfortable
there deep in dirt. You have a legion of fans in this newsgroup some
of whom had compiled their custom profile of your social shortcomings
(welfare bum, etc.) and described that noggin (aka pint sized brain)
of yours. That's quite an accomplishment.

As for your other rants, I do not have a first hand knowledge of
Australia. True. I had already said quite a few posts ago that in
the scheme of things Australia is a side show and of little interest.
I do have friends and relatives in Ozzieland. There isn't much news
of interest from your part of the world. Socially challenged rejects
like yourself my Chinese contacts can easily ignore and keep out of
their circle. The more refined Ozzies are easy enough to get along
with and predictably unremarkable. You guys seldom come up in our
conversations. One interesting tid bit, from my brother in law in
Singapore, is that you Ozzies are so freaked out about Chinese owning
housing property that there is a law that prevents them from reselling
their house(s) in the open market. They have to resell it to an Ozzie
white guy so that the price will be low enough for whitey to afford.
That speaks spades about your country's residual racism and your
individual economic status than any rant you can come up with. B-i-l
owns two mansions in Perth, prime ocean view, swimming pools and all,
one he uses for his vacations and the other a rental property. Most
ordinary Ozzies won't be able to afford to buy them anyway. That's
why I said earlier that you should take a drive by in the newer
housing developments and observe who lives there.

Man. You are so predictable and easy to crank up (aka mess up your
noggin) The measure is how long it takes to get you to sputter along
in your foul language mode. The answer is not much at all..

Mind your own business and post yours if you
want something like that from someone else.

Wrong, as always.

Never ever could bullshit its way out of a wet paper bag.

I JUST disposed of your stupid pig ignorant claims very comprehensively indeed.

And cant even do even the most basic research before making
terminally pig ignorant claims like that one now back at the top again.

Irrelevant to the stupid pig ignorant claim of yours at the top being discussed.

No there isnt. Yet another bare faced pig ignorant lie.

Here is ALL of our legislation, you wont be
able to list that law, because it doesnt exist.

Nope, just your BiL and which ever chinese told him that lie, actually.

How odd that so many of us own property like that ourselves.

I know who lives there thanks, and you can research that stuff online anytime too.

> Man. You are so predictable and easy to crank up (aka mess up your noggin)

Never ever could bullshit and lie its way out of a wet paper bag.

You're the one going ballistic when your nose is rubbed in your flagrant racism.

see the other posts on this subject, along with a url for a person who
verifies this attitude in his/her webpage. the one in NM did not know
the pet owner and treated the dog anyways. the one in MN I knew, but
that was his policy no matter who it was if the animal was suffering.
Tucson vets just don't care, the 20 or so I contacted. They are pigs
really and have their staff do the dirty work of turning pets down for
treatment or witholding treatment or worse. there are so many vets here,
probably they are so hard up for cash, this is the only way they can
survive. (no offense to the four legged variety).
