ladyskydiver 0 #2 November 21, 2002 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhillyKev 0 #4 November 21, 2002 QuoteThe plaintiffs include a Bronx teen who ate every meal at McDonald's for three years while living in a homeless shelter. Those bastards, feeding the homeless. Forget about suing them, they should be lined up and shot!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brisco 0 #5 November 21, 2002 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! Brisco Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #6 November 21, 2002 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?--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FreeFlyHol 0 #9 November 21, 2002 Let me ask you kids this...do people still actually eat at McDonalds? I can't even believe that nasty place is still around. Maybe it's the vegan in me talking, but seriously that's some nasty sh@t!!!When cheese gets its picture taken, what does it say? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #10 November 21, 2002 Quote do people still actually eat at McDonalds I do about once every 1-2 months. Then I remember why I haven't been there in so long..... Breakfast is OK though... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dumpster 0 #11 November 21, 2002 Blame it on the evil restaurant - It can't be the kids' parents fault- It's never the parents' fault when a kid eats that shit food 5-6 times a week or more- Easy Does It Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meathorse 0 #12 November 21, 2002 QuoteAnother 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! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michele 1 #21 November 22, 2002 Quote Real estate agent that sold you the bear-infested land. 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...Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
