Nah...I just want to sue all the women who have dumped me, and hell while we're at it...all the women who don't worship as the universe sexiest man. :wink:

Course given the way legal moronitude is going I'm sure some nut will try this before I ever think this was feasible :?

My predictions for this decade:

A fundie couple is going to attempt to squeeze millions out of J. K. Rowling for converting their daughter to witchcraft.

Another will sue 30+ heavy metal bands for "inspiring" their son's suicide.

One negligent mother (extreme right or left - what's the difference?) will sue Hollywood for billions for turning her son into a violent criminal.

Far fetched? Wait. Just wait.

Some people will sue automotive companies for their asthma (has this been done?)

People with crippling diseases will sue their doctors for keeping them alive.

Stuff like that has already happened. Did you hear about the parents of the children killed at Columbine sued 25 video game companies for $5 billion dollars, bliaming them for the whole thing? Some of the companies being sued didn't have anything to do with the shooting!

People like bliaming others because it's easier, and it's an excuse to sue.

It makes me want to puke.

I read an article on this and was quite pissed off. For one it is giving a HORRIBLE image of teenagers, and now people are going to make assumptions and consider teenagers to be blind stupid little fucks. I mean we are that, but no where NEAR to that extent.

And something else that pissed me off is that one of the parents not only did nothing about the fact that their kid was eating at McDonalds. He actually thought it was healthy food! And of course he claimed that he never saw anything that gave info on the food. Bullshit they are posted all over the place. Not to mention you have to be a REAL dumbass to not realize that french fries covered in grease and salt are bad for you.

Hmmm...Being that this one is still alive and well, perhaps it should be moved to the Off-Topic forum with the other one. That said, I'll note that, with her being only 14, opportunities to get in shape are freaking endless! Christ, public school provides an above-average chance to lose it all. When I started putting on crap I got into a conditioning class. Two months, and I'm as thin as I was in the 8th grade. That's not even adding that a Physical Education class is usually MANDATORY in Middle Schools. Unless she willingly forgoed these classes, there is no way in HELL that she could've become such a wreck as she seems to be.

Also, it is generally considered to be impossible (By any FDA standards) to become physically or psychologically addicted to a food that has been deemed to be completely free from any addictive properties. I have a great doubt that a burger bun and meat patty contain something like that. As such, she could stop eating them without any physical or psychological withdrawl. Hell, with what her physical shape must be, I wonder how she manages to get that much food. A simple walk around the house could keep her under 350. Of course, that hinges on the off chance that she might get off her goddamned bean bag chair once in a fucking blue moon!

And the recurring thought that this damned lawsuit is going to cost me more money sooo pisses me off... :x :evil:

Sienthal, your sig is right... that's the most disturbing Chick tract I've ever seen. Anyways...

What's most bothersome about this is that McDonald's will most likely settle out of court rather than spend the time and moeny fighting it. Thus the cycle continues...

In the future, I'm expecting the following lawsuits:

A man tries to sue the sun after he went blind staring at it for 5 hours straight. Also, he sues the government for not providing warnings, and anyone within a 5 mile radius of him at the time.

A man who got fat on fast food sues God for not giving him any willpower or comon sense.

A woman sues 10 random companies because she felt like it.

A man sues every company ever so others don't have to.

A man sues KFC because a man sued KFC because a man sied KFC because a man sued KFC because a man sued KFC because a man sued KFC because a man sued KFC because they weren't open on Christmas, and it hurt his feelings.

Then a man sues the govt for making Christmas a holiday because it sanctions religion and allowed the first guy to get his feelings hurt.

Lock the kids in a room with a Redneck and tell 'em to squeal lahk ah pig!

If they're willing to do that, then they get to sue. Oh, and it is televised to the world during prime time.
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

I've already posted this before, but i'll post it again.

A nurse will end up sueing a newborn baby for sexual harassment
because he was born naked, and she was offended by it. ( It's from Married with Children.)
