How pathetic! >:( Nothing like trying to put the blame on someone/something else so that they don't have to take responsibility for being where they are at.

Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.

It was only a matter of time before the lawyers went after the fast food industry, but I really thought they would have gone after the liquer industry or the automobile industry first. Now that they've bled the tobacco industry (disclaimer: not defending the tobacco industry here) they are just searching for other deep pockets. This is just the start of it. Before long the States will get involved looking for their share of the pie, as will the feds and this will probably extend to the entire fast food industry eventually. Hamburgers just went to $10 ea folks!

Funny, I always thought it was my fault that I'm overweight...damn and all this time I could have been suing someone.

Well, my fault AND beer's fault. But look at it, the beer, its so cute, how can I stay mad at you?

Another is a 13-year-old boy from Staten Island who says he ate at McDonald's food three to four times a week and is now 5-foot-4 and 278 pounds



It's gonna take more than 4 big macs a week to put your chunky ass at 278 lbs.

We're saying stuff like "blame the parents"... maybe that's the next step! ... kids suing their parents!

I'm not fat, I'm big boned!


Yeah, Big Bro is watching, then again, it *was* a joke, but now I remember that the government doesn't have a sense of humor...well, I guess someone did, I mean look at Al Gore...

Every lawyers nightmare: going hiking on their vast estate, getting mauled by a bear, and then realizing there's no one to sue.



Hiking equipment manufacturer? Real estate agent that sold you the bear-infested land. Animal control.
Skydiving is for cool people only

Yup...if you could show that the seller should've known that there was a predatory bear, it should've been disclosed as a material fact...and since the realtor should've known the laws, they should've counseled the seller that this was a material disclosure, and, if the seller refused to disclose, the seller needs to sign a waiver which then becomes part of the contract indicating that they are withholding material facts from disclosure, which is transmitted to the buyer via the buyer's agent. It should be signed as received by both the buyer's agent as well as the buyer. Thus it becomes part of the file.

Ain't America grand????????? Working so hard to protect us from ourselves...

Yes, I have E&O insurance, to the tune of costing me $1500 per year, with a $5,000 deductible...and yes I was sued once, and yes, I won...:)
