…whether a sign and a fence would have really deterred them.

Maybe that wouldn’t have deterred them, but it certainly would’ve made this lawsuit pretty much impossible to pursue!

Thank you too Fineous Reese.

I guess I should have given my disclaimer: Stoopid redneck who may use the wrong words from time to time i.e. succeed and secede – oops.

OT, big money draws big lawsuits – period. The lawsuit needs no basis. We can only hope that there are judges who will throw out cases like the judge who wanted $65 million for his lost pants!

/wondering why people hate lawyers

I do feel sorry for this family, and the amount of debt they have because of this, but it’s his own doing. Sorry.

let the big boys who know how to use their words argue this one.

hmm, thought lawyers were good at research as well as word use? Didn’t take google long to find http://www.sconet.state.oh.us/temp/584422.pdf top of page 19 mentions silky pony’s win via channelling a dead baby. the win was later turned over but the precedent was still made and has been attempted elsewhere (hence this note from Ohio).

the kid is dead, can’t punish him further for his stupidity. the parents suffer in their grief but still apparently need reminding to take their responsibilities seriously while the peer group that pushed the dare should be rounded up to be held accountable.

that is where the money is …

Thank you DesertLover. Yet another person who gets it.

Be careful, I tried that approach and well…

True statement … I think there is a lot of “blame” that could be passed around in this matter including the “dare” group we know nothing about as far as ages and such … there’s only one reason they are singling out the power company … that is where the money is …

Personal assaults aside, I succeed you are obviously the better man.

Lawsuits have been won by silk pony channeling a baby!

Whaaaa? I want what you are apparently smoking.

Seriously…I am sure that all your silly little thoughts make perfect sense in your head, but clearly something is lost in translation because you simply are not making sense. Let Aloha and Desert take this one and go back to playing with your tinker toys.

As for the rest of your post, it isn’t really even coherent.

Ouch, that hurt – not.

Hmm write a long dissertation on the case which, for the most part, will get ignored because it is too long or trim it to make a point. I guess I have to simplify it more.

1. You do not need a case when there is a company with loads of money. Case in point, which was brought up earlier, McDonalds. Hot cup of coffee dumped on the woman’s lap while in a car (on the passenger side). It had nothing to do with hot coffee (coherent enough).

2. Lawsuits have been won by silk pony channeling a baby! Getting this yet?

3. Do you really believe that if the person was a professional trampoline hopper it would have made a difference? Naive!

4. The health care system has been devastated by tort law. You being a lawyer should know that without a long list of cases that I do not produce.

Should I go on?

Now, I could expound for hours or attempt to make a point. Your shot, as comical as it is to me, was not to make a point but maybe to show your superiority because you are a lawyer and maybe I am just a hick that just does not have the ability to understand a simple concept that frivolous lawsuits exist and are a lucrative business.

P.S. I don’t ahte you! I also happen to agree with you but my head is not in the sand. Oh, and, “it isn’t really even coherent” is not very coherent.

Another canidate for the Darwin Awards.

Were only your political leaders as willing to embrace Darwin as so many of you here appear to be.

Y’all must be the enlightened wing of the neocons.
