Our Judicial System Blows

I saw today that a federal judge threw out the case against McDonalds for causing obesity in children. I took this directly from Yahoo news: "In the widely-publicised and debated case, four overweight teenage girls from New York's Bronx district last autumn accused the world's biggest hamburger chain of being responsible for their obesity and health problems."

Does anyone honestly go into McDonalds or Burger King and think they are getting a healthy meal? Hell no they don't, the very idea that a Big Mac, fries, and a coke would be healthy is ludicrous. Hey, if you really believe that, why not get EXTRA healthy and supersize the whole thing?? Another example of this: Tobacco... now, I do not like the tobacco companies at all, but come on, if you are sucking smoke into your body at the rate of 2 packs a day for 40 years, how can you even sit there with a straight face and try and say "Oh, but I didn't know it was unsafe for me!!" Okay, if that is the case, why didn't you just back your car up to your front door and run a hose from the tailpipe directly into your bedroom at night? It would have about the same result, only work a lot quicker.

Now, like myself, I know a lot of you have relatives who have smoked, and that it's so horribly addictive that they weren't able to quit. But remember who picked up that cigarette years and years ago and started puffing on it. So who convinces people that thier actions are the fault of others, who is it that lays blame on others for what a person should take responsibility for themselves, and not just laying the blame on others, but to be sure, others who have money, and lots of it. Lawyers, by the thousands. I wouldn't have a problem with this if the lawyers were making what they deserve to make, that is, 10 bucks an hour or less. But instead, they rake in millions of dollars off of huge companies in some of the most insane judgements you can imagine.

A few cases in point. A man cuts off his hand with a Craftsman lawnmower while using it to trim his hedges and wins a judgement against Sears because "there was no warning against it on the mower." Well, goodness, so why didn't you use your lawnmower to trim your nails too, and how about a nice polished haircut to boot? Another man was attempting to break into a school and fell thru the skylight and broke his back, and he won a judgement against the school. And I think we all know about the old lady who burned herself at McDonalds when she spilled hot coffee in her lap. Throw all common sense out the window when it comes to the judicial system, because if you try and make some sort of sense of it, you won't be able to. (such as, the case of Orinthal James Simpson the murdering ex-football player)

There is little that trial lawyers do that contributes to building up anything in today's society. Most all of thier actions are aimed at destroying and taking things apart. Now, there are many cases that called for legal action, but even in most of them the lawyers always made such a ridiculous amount of money from the judgements. And don't expect anything to change. The judicial system is set up so nicely for lawyers. Judges who sit in charge of the court are all ex-lawyers themselves, so why would you bite the hand that fed you for years? An incredibly scary thought about all of this is this fact: right now, and at any given point, there are more students in law school then there are lawyers in the world, doesn't that make your skin totally crawl???

So the fast food case was thrown out of court. I am certain though that this is not the end of this, the lawyers responsible for this insanity are most certainly working frantically to make sure that they can take this back to court again, one good judge won't stop them, and at some point they will find some idiot who lets the case go forward. The fast food industry makes BILLIONS of dollars, and lawyers are lining up by the thousands, salivating at the prospect of cashing in on a massive judgement against Pizza Hut or Taco Bell or Wendys, or even better, getting one of the companies to settle out of court to avoid a drawn out and expensive court case.

I pray no company ever settles, that they fight these bastards continuously. But even then you have to realize that truth is so rarely on your side. The rule to remember about todays judicial system is that truth doesn't matter, there is no longer any reason to take responsibility for your own actions, as long as you have some shady scum sucking pig of a lawyer who can convince a courtroom that you got went to Burger King every day and didn't realize it would make you fat, or that you didn't know a chainsaw wasn't to be used to circumsize yourself, you are set to make millions of dollars (after the scum pig lawyer takes his 40% share of course). So sit back, be stupid, do idiotic things, end up hurt but be sure that whatever hurts you was built or sold by a company with a lot of money. That way you and your liar, woops, did I say that? I meant LAWYER, can get rich in a hurry.

I better get this posted, I can already smell the sharks in suits circling me getting ready to sue me!!! HAHAHAH, I have no money you blood sucking bastards!!!
