No?

And @ReclaimTheLaw planning the deliberate commission of a murder is not a mental state. it is a mental action.

the same standard is "reasonable" but that which is reasonable is differentin each case , , , I can say no more

Accidental homicide is not a thing. Negligent homicide is a thing.

What is reasonable depends on crucial contexts you seem to want to ignore for whatever reason.

What..?

Tree falls down in front of the highway, you unfortunately have less than 250 milliseconds to react, you roll your car and hit a pedestrian. This is completely, 100%, out of your control.

I didn't use eithe r of those terms . . . I am from UK so there is some difference in parlance, but the principles of "accidental", "kknowingly" or "intentionally" are common to all Common Law jurisdictions

@ReclaimTheLaw, you just advanced to level 4!

Where the cases have the same elements they are equal. Ceteris paribus requires that the same act is illegal or legal in both cases. (I hate my keyboard right now. It double spaces and doesn't space at random, backspaces and wont at random. Making this very difficult, lol)

lol, I need a new keyboard too.

Know that feel.

@Maw Then it is a justifiable action, not an accidental one.

get a mechanical keyboard

How is that negligent?

pricey but they are hard to break

unless you are prone to spills

It is a mechanical key board. I need a key puller so I can clean the contacts.

It is not negligent. It is justifiable.

my keyboard is the same !

Negligent is when you knew the risk existed and acted without caring about the consequences. Where you don't know the risk exists cannot assess that risk it is justifiable.

There are no accidents and no coincidences, as a general rule.

I have a magegee mechanical keyboard, red gaming, bluekey.

negligent is without knowing, criminal negligence is when you didnt know but should have known (strict liability), reckless is knowingly, and intentinoally is with intent

Roughly parallel language.

Again, laws are written by lawyers to be accurate not comprehensible. Otherwise, everyone would practice law.

it would be good to be able to talk rather than text !

lol

For sure.

is there a voice room on this server ?

I'll see if I can't get faith to reinstate the VC when she's around again.

Yeah, but in a forum this big that becomes problematic (hate that word).

there are non problematic uses of the word problematic

We would need a lot more channels.

A LOT more channels.

maybe channels limited to 5 people each

I've also brought that up with her.

and have a few

so its more for actual discussion instead of howling at the moon

Again, still getting discord all set up, as I don't have authority to do that stuff, I have to bring it up to Faith first.

And she's a busy woman.
