That's the difference: I've never believed this country was any more or less beautiful.

Rupert Murdoch = William Randolph Hearst
Product Liability against morons = Child Labor
krunk = jazz
overweight asshole on Southwest = Okie playing banjo on the Southern Pacific
Enron = Railroad act of 1862
Scientology controlling Hollywood = Free Masons controlling the Government
Desi-run corner stores = German-run delicatessens
Mexicans = Irish
Halliburton = J.P. Morgan



There's always been something to bitch about, and we've been getting soft since the dawn of time. . .

True. But it seems things are getting closer and closer to boiling over the edge.

well ranting is fine and I don't like illegal immigration either, but in terms of migration to the U.S. and their affect on the U.S., the historical Irish immigration to U.S. and current Mexican's immigration to the U.S. is very similar. Mexicans are hard workers..... living in Florida you see that. Read a history book before you climb on your high horse son.

I agree. To be compared to a mexican?! I havnt had 80 kids I cant afford,I speak ENGLISH and Spanish, I have never stolen shit off a honda, I made it over here legally, I could go on and on.

Damn 8D youre good, I was almost border line offended

Besides, its 5 0'clock



Reminds me of the best racist joke I have ever heard. Came from a bud of mine who lives in China. We were talking about how China is going through its industrial revolution and how the government there is loosening up to where life is getting better and better. He then said to keep that shit on the DOWNLOW because the last thing China wants is all the mexicans swimming to china after china kills all the white people. LOL

Fact is, many major corporations would love you to think that suing is bad/wrong/frivolous, but sometimes it takes a big lawsuit to get their heads out of their asses - case in point, this McDs thing. 700+ issues, they FINALLY do something about it after this woman wins a 6-7 figure settlement.

This is not to say that there aren't frivolous cases - I just feel you should look into all the facts before judging.
more than seven hundred people that have spilled coffee on themselves (okay). now in the $2.86M awarded lawsuit, i'd understand if the employee dropped the coffee on her lap but SHE removed the cover to put sugar and cream and in the process dumped it on her lap.

it's great that mcdonalds now offers to put cream and sugar for you now 'cause of the idiot factor and they now have a warning that says "don't pour coffee on your lap 'cause it's hot." score one for the little guy being oppressed by the monstrous evil corporation.
