Donating to GIMP will not likely make it user-friendly enough to make me use it unless absolutely forced to. I would much rather donate to Pinta or Paint.NET or something where development would actually benefit me.

It's literally a victimless crime committed unintentionally. Most people oppose 12-year prison sentences for harmless accidents.

Yeah, I'm assuming most people are American or European. I think 40% is a high estimate, but even among the lactose intolerant people I know in real life, I've never met one who thinks drinking milk is weird. Most even consume dairy products, just lactose-free versions or enduring the consequences.

It's extremely regional though. Lactose intolerance is definitely the minority in the English-speaking world that would be on here.

Why would Hamas care about losing support from younger Americans or what the Kremlin thinks? Their sole goal is to achieve Arabic unity by escalating Arabic-Jewish hostilities.

Everything has some rate of death. That doesn't make it reckless. Are you saying anyone who owns another dog or who rides a bikes or who has a tree in his yard or who cooks food or who performs surgery which leads to someone's death should also get [5–10 years in prison] no matter what?

Thank you for this knowledge. This will honestly help me eat more chicken instead of less-messy frozen meals.

Drunk driving has an incomparably higher fatality rate though. (Like 1 in 600 vs pits' 1 in 500,000)

And you can't be charged with murder for drunk driving. That's reckless homicide.

Technically pit bulls are some terrier.

Ohh, my bad. Y'all mean like "given notice", not like "disturbing the owner". I read that too fast.

Common law is still valid in every state in the US (except maybe Louisiana), although obviously statutory law usually overrides it. You're right that there's no federal common law since Erie v. Tompkins though.

And I agree with your analysis of that statute. That is interesting too, since my state, Illinois, does not require explicitly being forbidden by the owner. It's much more in line with the common law idea of trespassing as simply being going somewhere without authority, express or implied.
