Reasons why have no faith in our judicial system...
 

Got this email today. Thought I would share it with you guys.

I think some laws need to be changed and some lawyers lynched...

Can you believe these people?


Subject: Stella Awards

It's time once again to consider the candidates for the annual Stella
Awards. The Stella's are named after 81-year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled
coffee on herself and successfully sued McDonalds. That case inspired
the Stella Awards for the most frivolous successful lawsuits in the United
States.

The following are this year's candidates:

1. Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas, was awarded $780,000 by a jury
of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was
running inside a furniture store. The owners of the store were understandably
surprised at the verdict, considering the misbehaving little toddler was
Ms. Robertson's son.

2. A 19-year-old Carl Truman of Los Angeles won $74,000 and medical
expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Mr.
Truman apparently didn't notice there was someone at the wheel of the car
when he was trying to steal his neighbor's hub caps.

3.Terrence Dickson of Bristol, Pennsylvania,was leaving a house he
had just finished robbing by way of the garage. He was not able to get the
garage door to go up since the automatic door opener was malfunctioning. He
couldn't re-enter the house because the door connecting the house and
garage locked when he pulled it shut. The family was on vacation, and
Mr.Dickson found himself locked in the garage for eight days. He subsisted
on a case of Pepsi he found, and a large bag of dry dog food. He sued the
homeowner's insurance claiming the situation caused him undue mental anguish. The
jury agreed to the tune of $500,000.

4.Jerry Williams of Little Rock, Arkansas, was awarded $14,500 and
medical expenses after being bitten on the buttocks by his next door neighbor's
beagle. The beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced yard. The award
was less than sought because the jury felt the dog might have been just a
little provoked at the time by Mr. Williams who was shooting it repeatedly
with a pellet gun.

5.A Philadelphia restaurant was ordered to pay Amber Carson of
Lancaster, Pennsylvania, $113,500 after she slipped on a soft drink
and broke her coccyx (tailbone). The beverage was on the floor because Ms. Carson
had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument.

6.Kara Walton of Claymont, Delaware, successfully sued the owner of a
night club in a neighboring city when she fell from the bathroom
window to the floor and knocked out her two front teeth.
This occurred while Ms.Walton was trying to sneak through the window
in the ladies room to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge. She was awarded
$12,000 and dental expenses.

7.This year's favorite could easily be Mr. Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma. Mr. Grazinski purchased a brand new 32-foot Winnebago
motor home. On his first trip home, having driven onto the freeway, he set
the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the drivers seat to go into
the back and make himself a cup of coffee. Not surprisingly, the R.V. left the
freeway, crashed and overturned. Mr. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not
advising him in the owner's manual that he couldn't actually do this. The jury
awarded him $1,750,000 plus a new motor home. The company actually changed
their manuals on the basis of this suit, just in case there were any other
complete morons buying their recreation vehicles.

My No. 1 reason why I have no faith in our judical system...

O.J.

Seriously.

How true.

I'll tell you why I have no faith. I know someone who ran over their girlfriend a time or two, didn't kill her, just left her in intensive care for a while, all while drunk and taking vicotin. At his trial, every time he threw the lawyer another $1000, they took more time off his sentence. He ended up doing 6 months in county. He said if he had $3000 more, he never would have seen the inside of the jail house. He ended up spending something to the tune of $13,000 in "lawyer fees" to get off that easy.

Yeah I seen that list a few weeks ago, Made me sick:rolleyes:

I've seen this before as well. #5 makes me laugh.. Friday night I fell on my butt at the bar cause I slipped on a spilled beer. I was laughing so hard I couldn't get up. I wasn't laughing so hard when I saw the big bruise I have on my butt the next day. :( Man I should sue them!! I might get lots of money!




Do you think it'll matter that I was drunk??? :p

The thing we need to ask ourselves is how we can change this kind of crap. There has to be a way. Make your voice heard in elections and demonstrations....

I mean, WE the public are eventually paying for the stupid accidents of the idiotic and criminal.

I for one am sick of it...

I mean come on... Sueing McDonalds because your fat is like sueing the Army if you get shot in a war. Sure they didn't say you'd DEFINATELY get hurt, but did you really think it wasn't possible?

Right now in our society, the 2 things that pay are stupidity and criminal acts.... its turns my stomach :mad:

WTF is wrong with these judges and juries? God that makes me sick that people get legally robbed by criminals. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

You should post a pic of your bruised butt so we can evaluate the damage.;)

ummm here... haha that's it... that's all you get! :D

:eek:

Whoa!

:eek:

I read an article one time that showed that a majority of these get thrown out or greatly reduced on appeal. It's kindof like the smokers that get awarded millions by suing the tobacco companies, but have yet to collect a dime.

one word----- Liberals :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

All I can say is WOW!!! That's a nice...umm.... tag on your pants. Yeah, thats it, tag!!!

Hmm... I wonder I drive my Mustang into a wall at full speed and get hurt if I can sue cause it doesn't say I will. Some people shouldn't breed honestly....

As for you MissBlondie.... well ;) lol :D I think we need more pictures from different angles to really asses the situation. lol :D :D :D

§am.

i agree america is stupid, if you are to dumb to hold a cup of cofee, you get a million, give me a break, your kid is fat, because your too lazy to cook, b.s. im headed to spain.:D :D :D :D :D :cool:

You are by far the coolest member here:D

That's the best looking bruised rearend I have ever seen!

Our Judicial system is full of crap! Look at Halle "hit and run" Berry; she crashes into a lady and flees the scene. A day later she turns herself in and says she was impaired by a head injury. She had the frame of mind to get the hell out of there.

If that was you or myself? We would be on trial for Felony hit and run.

Did you ever hear of the guy that got off of a murder conviction, because he claimed temp. insanity from eating twinkies.

MissBlondie, ouch!!!......wedgie with a thong, that's gonna hurt.

That's all I gotta do to be cool? pfft that's nothin... lol :cool:

A thong is a wedgie! :p Besides I was too drunk to care!

ummm that was a nice pic. *Starts running before he gets run over by the leghumpers*

I think MissBlondie should get the craziest award! lol =)
Unless Marty or SRV1 posts there *** on the site. lol Wait.... no one wants to see that. lol :p but I do got a sneak picture of Marty... He didn't want this to get out but to bad... lol

§am.

I don't know if I can compete with that! :eek:

hahaha lmao.. I don't think anyone can... lol ;)

§am.

Geez woman, you definatly need some physical therapy to repair the damage. Swing by after work, and we'll work something out.;)

Those are nice ummm...jeans. Yea that's it...
:eek: :eek:

Hair Dryer
 

Hammer is the Man!

This has been a flaming issue with me forever! Thanks for speaking out Hammer.

Everytime I use my hair dryer I see the tag warning me to not dry my hair while sitting in water...OK..See, a human actually did that once. If they survived, they sued the company. If they died, their family sued the company AND was awarded something for their ignorance.

So Yes, we live in a world where "people" are happily "taking up these causes" to gain a $....Sad...WELCOME TO AMERICA!..As for the Fat issue and McDonalds! AMEN Hammer! Stupid people! Sad fact that you need a license to drive, to get married, run a business, but any ignorant person can pro-create..Nice... :)

Jill...:eek: ..Girl...You are a nut! LOL...I saw no bruise in that picture! Only "string" underwear and some jeans! They are pretty comfortable actually, Huh? See fellas! No panty lines!.. :)

Later ~Jenn~

You know, the sad thing about the guy on the toilet is that I've actually been on calls to trailers that could fit right in a subdidvision with that guy.

As for Miss Blondie....well all I can say is I've never seen Butt-floss look so nice. I think this site should have a 12 month pin-up calendar with some of it's fine ladies and their cars. I'd buy one for sure. Money could go to help pay for the upkeep of the site. I would personally volunteer my time to do the photographing. Miss Blondie, I'll start with you...wink wink.

Re: Hair Dryer
 

Girl don't lie, I know you like lookin' at mah butt :D

technically thats not a pic of your butt...its of your lower back with you pulling your thongs up...lol....and whats the big deal with women and panty lines anyway??? i mean..if your going to wear like..skin tight spandex pants i can see the need for a thong..but just regular clothes ..such as pants..i dont see what the big deal is? plus arnt there those pantys with skinny "lines" so you dont get panty lines anyway..you know? like in the movie national lapoons christmas vacation with chevy chase?? ...love that movie

nothing wrong with a hot blonde wearing a thong. :D

"Can't see the line can you Russ?"~ Clark W. Griswold

someone asked for a pic of the bruise and ironically enough one of my friends got the bright idea of sitting me on the table and taking a pic of it cuz i was drunk and whining... geesh can't ya just shush and enjoy it :D hahaha

This is all I got out of your post...so that is all I'm going to do :D ;)

enjoy it? i cant do that with out you hear :D :p

last weekend there was a girl at the bowling alley that was very close to being kicked out cause she had her pants down a bit and her thongs pulled up far...you know that little flat peice of cloth in the front that covers your uhhh private..area..you could see like half of that...plus the girl was probubly only like 13-14
