Just wondering about what everybody thinks about the latest "Joe Blow" suing Mickey D's for him being fat. I am sorta of the mind set that no one taped him to the bed and stuffed Big Mac's in his mouth.
I think American's need to take some responsibility and accept that if you are fat it is either a physiological disease process or just your own doing, not Ronald McDonald's! I have little trouble finding the similarities between this and the cancer/cigarettes thing.
I'm going to sue the Coke company because I am addicted to Diet Cokes and it's all there fault because if they had never come up with diet coke I would not be addicted. Looking for a lawyer.
didn't i hear that someone was suing someone because of a finger/hand problem from playing video games? yet when my back goes out in nursing i have no recourse? i feel the same towards fat foods, cigs, etc., if YOU chose to do it then you accepted the risks. YOU are responsible to educate yourself in what you partake in. can i get an amen???????? :D
Hey....we should all file a joint suit to sue Bill Gates for our addiction to this computer, and sue Big Daddy for our addiction to allnurses. :chuckle :roll: :chuckle
Actually, this case is being brought by many of the same lawyers who brought the tobacco suit. One is a law professor at some college. These lawyers are all riding high based on the millions of dollars they received for their litagation in the tobacco suit and see this as another avenue to make tons of money.
I imagine alcohol will be next then....?
Our justice system has lost common sense - look at all the frivilous lawsuits and stupid labeling they have to add to equipment secondary to lawsuits. One man sued and won because he tried using his lawn mower to trim his hedges - needless to say he dropped the lawn mower and amputated his foot. He sued because the lawn mower didn't have a warning to not lift it up to trim hedges. Give me a break!
Why, just the other night, I was taken hostage by Ronald McDonald himself...he tied me up and held a gun to my head while he stuffed my face with a double quarter pounder with cheese and supersize fries.
I'm now in the McDonald's witness protection program to prevent a future attack...

Surely there must be someone made to pay for the rain this morning, putting a damper on someone's pleasant outing, or worse yet, creating a bad hair day! Not her fault she didn't have the foresight to carry an umbrella. How could that fat guy have the foresight into years and years of fried food and empty calories causing weight gain? Duh!

P.S. You can substitute "testosterone" for a male body part for the actual intention of this post.
