If they did, then prostitution would not be legal in a little part of Nevada. I thought guys like you would be for State's rights.

If you are going to use this as an example then you need to get your facts right. Prostitution is legal in a BIG part of Nevada. It is done on a county by county basis. The only two counties in which it is illegal are Clark (where Las Vegas is) and Washoe (where Reno is). So while prostitution is NOT legal where most of the population resides, it is legal in most of the state by land area (about 85% of it).

Since you are always the guy who says, "You don't know how it is in my state," I just had to take the opportunity to set you straight on how it is in MY state.

Now you may get back to your pissing contest over the exam.

Well I can talk as confidently about this as you do when it comes to issues in my state. Criminal laws are public record. State interpretation of basketball rules usually are not.

BTW, we stopped having this conversation long time ago. I figured you would go trolling around for a debate on something that is rather trivial. I guess you did not disappoint.

Boy, you've gotta love any thread that moves from tests, to sweatsuits, and finally to prostitution. Not that it matters to anyone but me, but I don't see asking for the questions and answers is unethical, it's what you do with that information that may be considered unethical. In my area, I usually work on the test alone for a day or two, then get toghether with some buddies, watch some college football, have a beverage or two, and haggle over the answers we weren't sure about. Are we helping each other with answers? Heck yes, but the discussions that get us to arrive at those answers make us better officials. The way our state uses the part I exam, I don't see a problem with exchanging questions and answers as long as the person uses them correctly in conjunction with their own thoughts. An official that just goes down and fills in someone else's answers will never amount to much of an official if you ask me.

Well then you didn't do the proper research, so when you do go look it up, you will find out that you are wrong.

The next thing you are going to try to tell me is gambling is not legal in Nevada either.

Here iRut read this and learn something for once, instead of your usual practice of just opening your yap and spewing out garbage.
This is from a local media source and was written in the past fews days regarding a ballot question for the upcoming election.

"The decision to legalize gambling here in 1931 was based largely in anticipation of the gold-standard decision, which was inevitable even before FDR took office in 1933 because so little paper money was in circulation in the aftermath of the thousands of bank closures that followed the stock-market crash of 1929. With gold (which by then had long since supplanted silver as Nevada’s primary mineral resource) no longer valid currency and thus less in demand than before, Nevada leaders knew they had to do something to sustain the state’s flagging economy.

That’s why it legalized (and heavily taxed) not only gambling, but quickie marriages and divorces, and prostitution as well.

Lawrence M. Friedman, a Stanford professor who has written 23 books on the subject of law and its impact on American society, encapsulates Nevada’s economic history this way:

“Nevada, in a burst of ingenuity, built an economy by exploiting its sovereignty. Its strategy was to legalize all sorts of things that were illegal in California ... After easy divorce came easy marriage and casino gambling. Even prostitution is legal in Nevada, in any county that decides to allow it. Quite a few of them do.” "


I think that Prof. Friedman knows a bit more about Nevada's legal history than you do.

God-Damn........

People are trying to cheat here, ya know.

Try and stay on-topic.

Nevada,

You cannot read. I never said I knew the law better than anyone and I did not say anything that was untrue. Nevada allows a law that most states if not all states find illegal. If it was not, then the Bunny Ranch would not be on HBO every other month. Maybe you need to read a book sometime or listen to people that debate these issues on news TV quite often. I realize you are trying to turn this into what the law is and what the law is not. I am not going there with you. I have better things to do.

If you are so sensitive about what your state allows, why live there?

Peace
