    I feel bad when a state government, such as the one in this article here, who is already suffering a 624mil dollar deficit, has the potential to be held liable for 150 mil over something that has nothing to do with the state.

    I dont feel bad if Coca Cola or Mcdonald's get sued for making people fat. I just don't care about them being robbed of a couple million, because at some point they did something negative to get as big as they did.

    Frivolous lawsuits are ridiculous no matter who the defendant is, or how much they make.

    Say that to me again when you have a chance at a 40 millon dollar case over something stupid. They're ridiculous until you're in the plaintiffs shoes, watching a settlement agreement being reached for 20 mil. Turn that down, dare you.

    Bottom line, lawsuits are the American way. What can you really do?

    Even good paste will melt if a hot enough liquid is applied.

    There is also a law in place, at least here in La La Land that makes it legal for any liar, er lawyer, to bring any suit against anyone for anything. That way there is no burden of proof and the liar, er lawyer, gets paid.

    Pretty cool huh? Clever way to make sure you get paid for doing what you know you shouldn't.

    Is prostitution something you're proud of or do you keep the fact that you're for sale a secret?

    LOL I knew you were gonna come in here sooner or later. Everyone's got a price I suppose. I came to this country and watched my parents do everything the right way, while everyone else's family were finding ways to work the system and get rich. I grew up surrounded by a community of folks screwing the government out of welfare money, defrauding insurance by setting their own businesses on fire, staging car accidents, etc. All this while my parents drove a school bus and beat my ass for grades lower than 95. I harbor a tad bit of resentment, and wouldn't ever work the system over illegally. But the day the cards turn and I legitimately have a claim to something...you can bet your life Im for sale.

    Cry me a river.

    You know right from wrong. There's nothing special or original about you or the way you grew up.

    It just amazes me when people get all butthurt because they've said something stupid or that paints them in a negative light. Then I wonder why. Then I usually chuckle. Then I'm usually sad.

    It's the ones like you who bring sadness to the ones like me.

    Exactly, I know right from wrong. I grew up how I grew up, nothing special or original. I get that, thanks.
    Im not butthurt, Ive got my opinions on frivolous lawsuits and you have yours.

    As tends to be the case with you, Im going to have to agree to disagree and that's it. At the end of it all, this is an opinion topic, and my opinion can not be wrong just as yours cant be wrong.

    And if you tell me its wrong....Ill sue you.:rofl: :salute:

    I kinda feel bad for your parents now.

    A frivolous lawsuit is one without merit.

    It just leads thoughts down a road that goes right by this place where if you'd do that, what else might you do? Or not do if the payoff was enough.

    You're just not as right as you could be. To me.
