Originally posted by Bruce The Aussie: umm how could his claim actually have any standing in court. like Lord Shield implied, he wasn't forced to eat at those resturants (if you can call them that).

We're talking about the US Judical system here, not only will it have standing in court, I bet even money it wins Look around at the people around you, the smart ones and the idiots, the lawyers are going to pick the idiots for the jury.
Hunter I'm suprised at you, don't you know that in modern America you're not responseable for anything you do! It is all the fault of some one else: Big Oil, Microsoft, the Military Industrail Complex, and let's not forget the cigrette (or cigar) smoking-meat eating-gun toting-SUV driving-conservatives! After all they WANT to kill old people, the poor, cute fuzzy animals, and use up all the gasoline so Absolutely no one including themselves can EVER use it again.

I'll bet even money that he will win, After all this is the country where a woman while driving her car, can pull into Mcdonalds order HOT coffee, place the styrofoam cup of HOT coffee in her lap (no one held a gun to her head and made she had to place it there) drive off spill the Hot coffee on hereself. Hot coffee that she ordered and placed in her own lap, turn around sue McDonald's and win.

Granted I didn't read all the post here but this guy has a weak argument. The fast food places have published their nutritional values for several years. What's goin on here is the lawyers are trying to mine the fasr food industry like they did the tobacco companies. It's solely a way to enrich the trial lawyers. Everyone in the US is a victim.
Oh saw this guy on tv last night...D'OH looks a lot like Homer.

I have thought long and hard over your little threat. We are having another party. If your intent for coming down is to carry out this threat, don't waste my time. You wouldn't get very far anyway

However, I appreciate that you took offense at my post and I have modified it accordingly. In future, if you have any problems with my posts, you can mail me like a mature adult instead of splattering it on a public thread

Thanks

[The Hunter of Jahanna]

It seems some peole have had issues with how myself and others have phrased things in this debate. I cant speak for the others , but as for me , I call it like I see it. A person doesnt get to be 300 lbs in a day and blameing someone or something else is just stupid.Also,I am not infected with the political correctness virus yet. To clear the air, I am not predjudied against chubby ppl,druggies, drunks,blacks,whites,euros ,christans or any other group. I am predjudiced at people who blame everything on someone else , while refuseing to accept responsibility for their own actions and stupid people.

Thanks[/QUOTE]Of course it was not a physical threat, I have no need to make such a threat. As for behaving like a mature adult, I find this hard to take from someone who was dropped off at the IW Londoners' party by his Mum!

The reason that I posted this so publicly is that you have made a number of insulting posts at my expense over the past couple of weeks. Most people will have missed these but I've had enough of them. Furthermore these particular insulting remarks will have upset a number of IW members. PM's would not have mollified the other members.

I'm glad that you have modified your post. I hope that in the future you will give your posts more thought.

I am curious as to why you think I've been insulting you. I don't even know you, let alone have any intention of doing such things

oh well, case closed I guess [img]tongue.gif[/img]
