Uzi battled Nissan motor company because the company thought they had the right to take the domain from a man who had registered it because it's his surname. Nissan Motors should have been slapped with a massive punitive fine for that, but instead they continued to bleed Mr. Uzi Nissan of his resources by suing him repeatedly. Memo to Nissan Motor Company: it was because of this act of lawfare that I personally renou…

> I personally renounced ever buying a Nissan again Personally, I stopped buying Nissan cars because of bad experiences/failed transmissions right after warranty expired.

Not because their Japanese executives had their US executives kidnapped and tortured by the police?

Weird folks out there. I’m named for my grandfather, a former MLB player with a World Series win to his name. While back found out there was a man impersonating him after his death, not too far from where we lived at the time. https://www.heraldtribune.com/story/news/2011/05/15/baseball...

What a story! Thanks for sharing. I love the bit in there about the lawyer buying the imposter the replica ring. It was written in a pretty unique way. My great great grandfather actually also owned a baseball team named after his signature beer. Random-fact: Abraham Lincoln's granddaughter's husband played for them.

Oh boy, so the story about the ring is it’s own interesting tidbit - my whole life I was told my aunt stole the ring and “traded it for a bag of pot.” Now, my grandfather only had two children so for it to be the exact same story but with my father as the perpetrator makes for an even stranger twist in this whole story.

How did this man have such a similar story? My father lived and worked in the general area of the conman, did their paths cross at a bar? Both my aunt and father were and are substance abusing screw-ups for most of their lives so it could truly go either way!

Unfortunately, I cut ties with my father before leaving for college and so will likely never know. I accidentally found this newspaper article a few years ago while Googling around, wondering if the stolen original ever turned up for auction or something and your comment about searching for merchandise reminded me. I’ve thought about writing to the imposter and or the article’s author but I feel that would sound like a scam unto itself.

Watch you don’t apply this reasoning to your own house.

eminent domain is used in this way, and I don't really agree with the rule, but there is an argument to be made for my land being taken over because it serves some other purpose better than it serves me.

You are also paid "fair market value" in emminent domain takings, they don't just seize your property.

IDK what Nissan Motors offered Mr. Nissan for the domain but I'm guessing it must have been a case of "it's not for sale" because they probably would have paid nearly anything he asked if he'd been willing to name a price.

Considering their history of using Gab, you can safely assume the former.

Their complete misunderstanding of the history of both this country's founding and Christianity really help cement that assumption as accurate, though.

It's unfortunate to see that the US education system has regressed so poorly.

My brother owns (our last name.com). Our great great grandfather started and ran a fairly successful (pre-prohibition) brewery. Someone found out about our last name, trademarked it, and "restarted" the brewery with no relation to anyone in our family. The best part is they feigned ignorance when they "learned" that there were still living descendants in the area...

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

Say I feel a lot of respect to e.g. Amelia Earhart, so much so that I want to establish an air-exploration company and name it Earhart Air Explorers. Do I need to get an approval from all of her descendants first?

It is something that Germany believed in the first half of the 20th century. It is something Russia believes now. It ain’t as dead as it ought to be.

I am not sure why you are downvoted, because you are dead right. "Might makes right" is exactly the 'philosophy' of the dictators of both countries. Human rights and related concepts are for them nonsense and signs of the weak. The clash between Hitler and Stalin was a clash of two very like minded people. Some horrid people defend the massacring by Putin by defending the might makes right mindset. They even might th…

The US certainly believes in might makes right too.
