[IF IT WALKS LIKE A DUCK...............]

almost looks like a coot to me.

[Experimental aircraft association.]

I've been to the fly-in at Oshkosh several times(years ago). Love the all the home made(hand built) planes, and the pride the owners have in them.

 

 

Oshkosh is THE grand finale of fly ins, our little fly in is dubbed “warm up to Lakeland” as a primer for the sun&fun fly in Lakeland on 4/21. I doubt I will make sun&fun this year but it is worth the trip if you can make it.

Dh would have loved being a fly on the wall (or steering wheel ). I gave him an hour lesson last year. He would love to become a pilot.

 

Tell him to check into the Civil Air Patrol. We have a CFI in our squadron, so all one has to pay for is the CAP plane fee of 38$ an HR plus fuel, comes to about $60 an hour for PPL training.

Did yall make the snake fly?

Didn't they make a movie about snakes on planes?

[Man tells HOA he won’t take down flagpole]

The law says that reasonable restrictions are OK. There is a reasonable solution to flying his flag. He is just choosing to thumb his nose it.

 

I have lived in a subdivision with no HOA. Within the first two years of moving in, the place starting looking like crap. No grass in the yards, broken down cars, 4 foot high weeds, etc. I sold and moved to a HOA community. I choose to live somewhere that provides some amenities and has some rules in place to keep my home values up. If I was able to move on to some acreage, it would be a different story.

 

 

The act states “ “presents a substantial risk”. not “ must provide reasonable solutions”.

 

H.R. 42 Freedom to Display the American Flag Act of 2005:7/24/2006--Public Law.

 

(This measure has not been amended since it was introduced. The summary of that version is repeated here.)

Freedom to Display the American Flag Act of 2005 - States that a condominium association, cooperative association, or residential real estate management association may not adopt or enforce any policy, or enter into any agreement, that would restrict or prevent an association member from displaying the U.S. flag on residential property within the association with respect to which such member has a separate ownership interest or a right to exclusive possession or use.

 

States that nothing in this Act shall be considered to permit any display or use that is inconsistent with: (1) federal law or any rule or custom pertaining to the proper display or use of the flag; or (2) any reasonable restriction pertaining to the time, place, or manner of displaying the flag necessary to protect a substantial interest of the condominium, cooperative, or residential real estate management association.

 

 

The courts must decide if the MANNER in which he is displaying the flag presents a SUBATANTIAL RISK

 

If the courts deem that the MANNER in which he is displaying the flag does not present a substantial risk he is protected under the flag protection act and the HOA loses the case. If a court decides that it indeed poses a SUBSTANTIAL risk then he must comply with the HOA rules. If the ruling is in his favor it WILL NOT open the whole place up to have other flags and whatever else everyone is whining about because there presentation is not protected by this ACT.

[South Paulding High School]

. And to think students should not have phones in school.Parents would not know otherwise.

 

 

This would probably be a good thing, that way the school administration could work with the authorities on the issue at hand instead of being inundated by phone calls and parents showing up at the school (who knows what kind of situation they could be walking into) adding another problem into the mix.

 

This is EXACTLY why students should not have cell phones in school.Yall trust your children with these people, stay out if their way and let them handle the situation.

[Man tells HOA he won’t take down flagpole]

Sounds about right to me. And not that I expect you to care, but:

 

United States Code Title 4 Chapter 1 — The Flag

 

[snip]

 

§8. Respect for flag

... The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property....

 

( http://www.ushistory.org/betsy/flagcode.htm )

 

 

If he is aware of the goings on in Washington, he’s coverd.

[Man tells HOA he won’t take down flagpole]

Sure it has. They allow flags, they are in no way denying him his right to fly a flag. They are asking (by way of a document he signed in agreement when he moved in) that the flag be flown from a pole attached to the house. This, along with the other rules of the HOA agreement, protects the interests of the subdivision by preserving the look and property values. This is a reasonable restriction in allowing the flying of flags.

 

Here is the clause again for comparison:

 

(2) any reasonable restriction pertaining to the time, place, or manner of displaying the flag necessary to protect a substantial interest of the condominium, cooperative, or residential real estate management association.

 

 

There is another operative word in the wording of that law, that word is substantial. The HOA will need to prove in court that the presentation of the flag in the manner that this person is displaying it presents a SUBSTANTIAL risk to the interest of the surrounding proprieties and the neighborhood overall. I think the ruling will be that it does not present a SUBSTANTIAL risk or threat.

OK, then, there it is. While I support people's right to do what they want with their property, and personally dislike HOA's, that is why I chose to purchase a home not under the restriction of an HOA. From the information given, we can see that:

 

1. This man agreed to the HOA rules when he moved into this home, and would have signed an agreement saying so.

 

2. The HOA is not in violation of the FDAF Act as they DO allow flags to be displayed under "reasonable restricitons".

 

You imply can't move into an HOA neighborhood expecting your neighbors to adhere to the rules that are important to you, and then pick and choose which rules you adhere to. Otherwise, what is the point of living in an HOA neighborhood? Like I said, not my cup of tea - but that's why I don't live there.

 

 

 

In this case I do not think the “reasonable” aspect of the HOA suit has been established by the HOA.

[Man tells HOA he won’t take down flagpole]

If the guy moved into the subdivision before 2005, the HOA rules would be grandfathered in. I like what crazy4boys said too. "Reasonable restrictions." A compromise was offered.

 

The same HOA rules that would keep an American flag from flying also keep Confederate Flags from flying, thank God. Or Nazi flags, something a lot of our Adolf Type Republicans here in Paulding would just luuuuuuv to do. Bet they would get all tingly in their groin when they see the swastika flying, thinking about all the people they could control by force as they dismantle the Constitution.

 

 

Do you really lack the cerebral ability to post an intelligent response to any of the topics you post in? I don’t care if it is from the left side view , right side or somewhere in the middle, but you’re responses in several of the topics I have seen you post in lately are just plain ignorant.

Is that type of prostitution legal?

 

I dont know but Tow gave me the title.

[Legal question...]

[How come no bail-out for companies....]

But that is just what this gooberment wants; more productive self sustaining people to lose their livelihood and become dependent on government “assistance”. The government is not going to assist someone to stay independent of it, only when the government has made them dependent will the “assistance” come. And then this assistance is provided only to sustain the existence, not make the recipient independent and prosperous.

[Ok so think back to when you was a preteen..]

WOW as a pre teen, wasn’t a lot to choose from. I did have a thing for Jodi Foster, Tatum O’Neal , Kim Richards (Tia from Return from Witch Mountain)and Nancy McKeon (Jo from facts of life)………………………………………OKOK I’ll admit it and a thing for Kristy McNichol.
