Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!
We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!

To clarify tort stuff, and because I like the word tort:
Nutty, how is this tort related?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to tongue waggle and giggle at the same time?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Oh, so tort doesn't mean of or relating to law things I don't understand? That was my impression based on what Congress was thinking about doing a few years ago.
Or, um, yeah. I mean funny-shaped cakes.

Tort refers pretty exclusively to civil causes of action between individuals, like libel, or assault, false imprisonment, that sort of thing. That distinguishes it from criminal or contractual causes of action.

Yes. A tort action is a civil action for damages based on injury caused to another. Like Consuela said, it's pretty much any civil action that dosen't arise out of a contractual or domestic relationship.
