Looking for a mid-size domestic car recommendation

Touché.

Corning got pretty close though. Built too much fiber-optics capacity
during the dot com boom. I believe they have a empty shell of a plant on
the NC coast if they haven't unloaded it yet.

Somehow you got my meaning exactly backwards, I think. I'm not sure
because there is something wrong with your first sentence. There seems
to be a word missing between "rather" and "placing". Re-edit and sent
it again and let's see if it will make sense.

Better yet, throw the head of McDonalds in jail for endangering the
public. Now THAT would get their attention!

Why would I "not" say that? Talking to you is like shouting at a
mirror, kind of. Stuff comes back to me, but different.

Typical airhead thinking. I suppose if McDonalds handed you a jar of
nitroglycerine and said "have a nice day", it would be your fault what
happened next? Different only in degree, not in kind.

I'm sure you'll laugh and think "what an idiot", but pause and think
about the concept. The company is putting a product into the hands of
the public which can cause moderate to serious injury, without a warning
or caution of any kind. Lawsuit city, well deserved.

 

You're making things way too easy for your critics. If I indeed ordered
a jar of nitrogylcerine without knowing how to handle it, that would be
my fault not McD's.

You saved us the trouble.

If that's the case, then it should legally be required to take an IQ
test before you are allowed to order a cup of hot coffee to go (back to
the nanny state to protect - literally - idiots from themselves). But
you'd think that if someone could own a license and drive a car to the
drive thru that they would have the IQ necessary to know that hot things
are, umm, hot, and that hot things will, umm, burn you if you spill them
on you without you having to be told same.

Umm, coffee is supposed to be, umm, hot, not umm, dangerous. It should
not, umm, send you to the umm, hospital if you umm, spill some.

As umm, dumb as they were, McDonalds now umm, gets it. Why don't umm,
you?

 

You are a convoluted piece of work, that is for sure.
Your posts make you appear to be one who simply likes
to be heard, without regard to the veracity of your statements..
We will concede that a McDonald's store most likely has one or
more of the degreasers, or other chemicals available on the
market, to use in cleaning but I doubt they have nitroglycerine
on the premises that might be accidentally dispensed to a
customer. Please keep posting, we in the NG's can benefit from a
good laugh on occasion during a slow day LOL

So you are you that guy that started litigation with
McDonald's for being the cause of your obesity. LOL


mike hunt

 

I know that there used to be a place downtown here where they had awnings
over the sidewalk and they'd blow warm air down. I THINK it was the natural
gas company or maybe the electric company.

 

LOL, the worst part is I can see that happening too.

 

Why, the public chooses to go to McDs. They can choose to not go there. I'm
reminded of the case where the 2 obese kids sued McDs for making them that
way and the judge pretty much said they had a choice and they continued to
eat there and that their lifestyle contributed to it.

 

How's that any different from people selling tools?

If you're too stupid to not know how to handle it then don't use it. Same
goes for coffee and nitroglycerine. There is an inherent danger in things.
If people wanted to they could hurt themselves with chapstick!

 

Your link didnt work (for me anyway), but I can see it now: A few years
from now, every pencil sold will have a little safety warning that you
have to sign and give back to the merchant saying that you understand
not to stick it in your, or another person's, or an animal's eye because
it can cause blindness (actually that would only happen if you poked
both eyes out, but when it comes to protecting yourself from legal
actions, it's OK to overstate your case - you can't be too careful).
Either that, or you'd have to have training and receive certification in
the operation of a pencil before you could legally buy one.

Bill, that is really a stretch to go from what BT and I said to
suggesting we were advocating property damage!

I wasn't insulted as much as confused as to where you created that
theory from given what I'd written. I hadn't even implied causing
intentional damage, I simply said that putting idle money to work can
benefit the economy.

Only if you consider Concord, NC to be on the coast. And I don't
think it is empty, just idle.


Matt

 

Yes, you've provided a great example of airhead thinking in your
example. Comparing nitroglycerine to hot coffee is pretty dumb.

My recollection is that McDonald's coffee cups have had warnings for
many years about the contents being hot. And you have to assume some
reasonable intelligence on the part of the public. Almost any consumer
product is dangerous if used improperly. Things like ladders shouldn't
need 25 warning labels for crying out loud. Then again, with people
like you, maybe these warnings are needed, however, you can never had
enough warnings for people who think like you.


Matt

 

Coffee properly prepared will be hot enough to cause third degree burns.
A knife properly sharpened will cut to the bone. A plum not chewed
will lodge in your throat and choke you.

What was that old John Wayne move line ... something like, "Life is
tough, but it's tougher if you are stupid." You must have a very tough
life.

I can't even bring myself to laugh at him. I actually feel sorry for
him. Anyone that dependent on mom, dad and the government is really a
sorry soul.
