The Seven Deadly Sins

My own "loose" interpretations, feel free to add your own
I'm all for helping people, but I refuse to help anyone who refuses to help themselves (oh, and getting millions beacuse a McDonalds coffee was too hot :roll: )
This could mean a lot of things, what pops in my head is sexual irresponsibility, or getting a laugh at the expense of others.
being smart isnt an excuse to be an A-hole
Business good, unethical business, bad
Stem cell research good, getting stem cells from dead babies, bad
Feel free to worship your god, but at least have the balls make the sacrifices your god calls for
this ones kind of obvious.
as a matter of fact I do, Ive consulted for McDonalds at the regional level on several issues, especially this one. It was obviously a blanket statement.
If that's true, then you're even more ignorant than was first thought.
But...enough digression. I'll bow out of this thread now and let it back to Ghandi.

Oh, I'm an idiot who cant see past my immediate hate of anyone with conservative views.
But...enough digression. I'll bow out of this thread now because I dont feel like getting owned after my next post
:roll:
So, you would know why McDonald's knowingly kept their coffee at extremely high temperatures?
You would know why McDonald's had been previously sued for the same reason?
You would know that McDonald's had received at least 700 reports in the past re:hot coffee burns and even settled in amounts of as high as $500,000?
You know that the coffee was so hot it caused third-degree burns and required a week's hospital stay and skin graft operations?

My point is that your statement:
That woman only wanted her medical bills covered but McDonald's refused. They continued to refuse to settle throughout the case and ended up with a $2.9 million verdict.
Now, was this 81 year-old woman out to gain monetarily?
was an ignorant one. It's a statement that shows you know nothing of the case even though you purport that you do.

like i said, it was a blanket statement. I still dont think she should have gotten 2.9 Mil, what i THINK can not be PROVEN wrong, even though you have wasted hundreds of posts trying to do so since i came to this board.
WTF is that supposed to mean? A blanket statement? You made a statement you KNEW to be false.
Why?
Why?
how could me thinking 2.9 mil is too much possibly be proved right or wrong?
Thats how i feel, get over it.

Hell I want to vote for him.... Bush and Kerry can be on the next rocket to nowhere for all I care. And Mahatma can have Martin Luther King Jr. as his running mate, I'd definately vote that them. I think Mr. King would be the only preacher or devout christian I'd vote for though. I am a bloody anarachist though.
I agree with basic morality, but not so much that it should be enforced by those in power. I just thing not lying and cheating are basically good precepts. I intentionally left out stealing as it has it's gray area. I guess lying does too. But then I'm not one of those guys who beat you up for being square.....
uhh, no.
Conjur, you PROVED NOTHING, you quoted a bunch of facts like it made a difference. but facts cant chane opinions. quit trying to wrestle away from the point, and the OP.
which statement was false, considering they were all opinions?
i feel like im arguing with a 12 year old, christ.
Good grief! Do I have to point it out, AGAIN?
You stated you know the details behind that case. Therefore, you know the 81 year-old woman was not out to make a buck; she was not out for monetary gain. However, you still lump that case in with your indictment of people who refuse to help themselves. How was she refusing to help herself?
ok, let me do this once, BARNEY STYLE
notice the word AND between the two statements? therefore they both reference the original comment, not eachother. The original comment about the monetary reward was based on the "Wealth Without Work" statement, NOT the "helping themselves" comment. so your question "how was she refusing to help herself?" does not apply.
again, please stop confusing facts an opinions
