Lucas subsequently emailed the general manager to complain -- insisting he couldn't work because of the "undue mental anguish" he was suffering as a result of the napkin debacle -- and says he was insultingly offered free burgers in return.

what tv series was that from, cant remember, but i remember seeing it.

u kidding? breaking bad man.

ah yeah.. didnt burn very good on my mind, because i stopped mid 2. season.. hated the choices faggot pinkman and mr hotheadpotato took. It was just too much when he let the the girlfriend die in her sleep..

It was an awfully boring show, can't blame you.

gg thanks for spoiling it for me, i was gonna watch it now that i think about it.

welcome, it fucking sucked, so nothing to spoil. They make shitty decision after shitty decision. Tried to like them, or someone in there, but everyone sucks, and i cant watch a series if i cant identify at least somewhat with something or someone.

but sry for spoiling that, it's still a small thing though.

yusssss

Only in America, sigh.

No. Back then already, my first year in Law school taught me that, one of the reasons that make all processes so slow is that this kind of people who files for these silly reasons ^ are very common, maybe not THAT silly but close enough to feel sorry in general about humankind... At least where the legal system is a bit like yours. The thing is you mostly know about these stories in the USA, a lot less anywhere else, so that's how people get wrong ideas and stereotypes (I won't discuss if it's whether true or not, but I'm just saying it's not LESS true concerning other countries :D hehehe, like "USA the fattest country" you know).

it's well-known Mexico is the fattest

Yes

Any given Pacific Islander nation shits on both the USA's and Mexico's claims.

Not only in the Pacific, at some point, in Mauritius Island, the obesity rate was worse than in the USA, while most people was claiming that the rate in USA was > than anywhere else.

You have to target specific states to get the gold > than anywhere else. Which stands true.

usa is the fattest country as well as fattest individuals in said country.

yes. I'm canadian and we don't have a "I'm going to sue you" obsession like america. watch american television and see tons of law firm commercials (1-800-WINWIN1), watch canadian tv and barely see any

watch european tv and never see any. Lol.

exactly.

too bad were not any better. no self defense laws. someone robs your house at 2am and you beat them up? you get charged with assault. someone robbed a house and sued the homeowner cause he pushed him down the stairs and hurt him.

he won

CAN'T WIN EM ALL

wtf
stupid mankind

Friend of mine had a similar problem. Caught a Romanian guy trying to steal his bike out of the garage, he got fined by the police for attacking the dirty thief.

both cops and RCMP have told me that if you do get a home intruder, kill him. that way it's just your word, not your word vs his. someone who stabs an intruder can be charged with assault and assault with a weapon

http://news.nationalpost.com/2011/10/29/act-o...ence-laws/

some shit happened a few months back and it's made me realize I need to better protect myself. except I'm learning I can't. I can't even beat up someone, if I'm bigger than them I can be charged for not using reasonable force.

fucking canada man. how are self defence laws so bad in a country where everyone says sorry?

can't even use pepper spray

"assault with a weapon"

it's just odd, providing that someone who is capable of a forceful entry is highly more likely to pull a stunt and stab you

Robber should of got away with murder literally

should of

Have done. Wont cont tont hont. Have should would could. Blah blah blah blah like usual from you , hue hue hue.

As supreme ruler of Glasgow and surrounding areas you cant even approve your own images? i am disappoint

Give'us a break, am still under tory rule, innit.

Hahaha I like that actually.

"Cummmm to me, baby" ;)

Here's a [+] :)

Thanks, here's a [+] for yourself.

ouch, sneaky

I'll never [+] an Englishman.

ouch, salty

Its ok i give you a real plus anyways :p

And a [Random made up flag] [+]

crazy!
i got my girlfriend one, at least women should be able to carry use one without being sentenced

well gender is considered when it happens in canada, but if it's male vs male, using pepper spray to defend yourself is "excessive force" because the other person doesn't have any, so it's not "fair".

research has shown me not to carry anything. if i use anything on anyone i risk being charged with assault or excessive force.

canada hasn't figured out self defense yet.

Throw him a pepper spray and take him out while he's reaching for it! Fair game.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepper_spray#Canada

Pepper spray designed to be used against people are considered as a prohibited weapon in Canada. The definition under regulation states "any device designed to be used for the purpose of injuring, immobilizing or otherwise incapacitating any person by the discharge therefrom of (a) tear gas, Mace or other gas, or (b) any liquid, spray, powder or other substance that is capable of injuring, immobilizing or otherwise incapacitating any person" is a prohibited weapon.[41]

can't even use it here

watch european tv and see naked news anchors

The media also portrays some of these lawsuits in myopic and sensational manner. After watching Hot Coffee-documentary, class action lawsuits seem much more grounded and rational than just reading the headlines.

The funny myth about that spilled coffee lawsuit against mcdonalds is that people think mcdonalds changed the serving temp of coffee, they still serve it at the same temp. The woman was a dumb broad who couldn't take responsibility for her own mistake, and opened pandora's box for people to be stupid and get rich. All those really dumb obvious warning labels on products are thanks to this woman, she won because the coffee wasn't labeled as hot.

http://harmfuldruginfocenter.wordpress.com/20...ee-review/

You might be wrong about this.

Read a few lines, made my decision.

If you aren't able to drink coffee without pouring that shit on yourself than maybe there's another elephant in the room

Yeah, accidents are rare.

too bad youre dead fucking wrong. there were thousands of complaints the coffee was too hot, mcdonalds did nothing about it. they were running a free coffee promotion, if you stayed in the store and drank a coffee, they would give you free refills. they made the coffee extremely hot so it was borderline impossible to finish it.

when the coffee spilled on her, she almost died. how the fuck do you serve people coffee that is hot enough to kill someone if it's spilled on them?

http://blog.3nips.com/2011/08/10/re-introduci...xESjfldVWY

not only that, mcdonalds were scumbags and advertised she was in the wrong, not them

she won because she almost DIED retard

>they made the coffee extremely hot so it was borderline impossible to finish it.

how? was there a time limit?

They made it so the coffee gained heat with time so you had to drink it as soon as possible and it would eventually get so hot you couldn't finish it!

Ways to do this:

1) Sell coffee in cups that contain a radiator. This has the bonus of burning the person's hand even in the (unlikely?) event they don't spill their coffee
2) Disprove 2nd law of thermodynamics
3) ???
4) Make the air temperature of McDonald's restaurant hotter than the coffee
5) Profit

edit: heavy necro-post

they offered free refills if you finished a coffee in the store

http://osmond-riba.org/lis/essay_mcdonalds.htm

they made it so hot it would take forever to drink it due to the temperature. this way they can advertise "free refills" to get people there but in reality no one would stick around for an hour to finish one coffee just so they can get a free one

seriously this woman is in the right 100%. mcdonalds were nothing but scumbags about it

180 degree coffee .. do they sell it under pressure?
or maybe i know shit about coffee .. :(

wat

mäh.. you guys messure temperatures in degree fahrenheit do you?
thought of celsius, my fault.
so, pretty hot coffee yes.

Evidence showed that McDonalds served their coffee so hot to save money. This let them get away with a cheaper grade of coffee and cut down on the number of free refills they had to give away. McDonalds executives testified that they thought it would be cheaper to pay claims and worker's compensation benefits to people burned by their coffee versus making any of these changes.

this is why esr is littered with retards. some simple research shows how massively wrong everyone here is

If you stab yourself with a knife do you sue the people that made the knife?

Yea, it really sucks she got horribly burned, but is it McDonald's fault?

PS. I handle 320F degree plastics with my bare hands every day :)

hell no it is not their fault. i despise people who would get god fucking damn hot fucking coffee and complain when then fuck themselfs up being an idiot. just like the ones that sue and made it to where you have to have a sign to tell you not to play on the top step of a ladder......

Orrrr mayne too many mexicans cant have common sense. Seems to be the status quo on the ones i meet :)

It's the white people that are stupid in my experience.

The mexicans i worked with couldnt even figure out to put their shit in the toilets, not the trashcan. Every white person i know, can very easily comprehend this.

i said stupid, not smart mexicans Lmao. Not to mention all the ones that beat their women at work. I told one he was about to find out what a dick taste like, if he didnt stop abusin his girl. I was like. Ill fuck you bulldog style wetback ;)

The Mexicans I know would have taken action in your situation.

serving it that hot is dangerous, and they admitted that they did it deliberately to save money. of course they are at fault

Yes, it's McDonald's fault that she dropped her coffee.

I didn't say it was their fault she dropped the coffee, I said they were at fault. Do I really need to explain what that means? People have a reasonable expectation not to get third degree burns on their genitals from a coffee spill.

Yea, sure, McDonald's is at fault when she dropped her coffee on herself.
Toyota is at fault when I run myself over with my Corolla.

Liebeck's attorneys argued that at 180–190 °F (82–88 °C) McDonald's coffee was defective, claiming it was too hot and more likely to cause serious injury than coffee served at any other establishment.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebeck_v._McDonald%27s_Restaurants

"Back when I first started working at Starbucks, the acceptable range for beverage temperature was around 145-165 degrees," she wrote. "That's not really all that hot."

The perfect temperature for a coffee, she learned through extensive trial and error, is 180 degrees Fahrenheit.

Yea, sure, McDonald's is at fault when she dropped her coffee on herself.

do you seriously not see the difference?

well shit, some random person who used work at starbucks says it's ok. if we are going to start copy pasting quotes from the internet:

McDonald’s operations manual required the franchisee to hold its coffee at 180 to 190 degrees Fahrenheit.

Coffee at that temperature, if spilled, causes third-degree burns in three to seven seconds.

The chairman of the department of mechanical engineering and biomechanical engineering at the University of Texas testified that this risk of harm is unacceptable, as did a widely recognized expert on burns, the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Burn Care and Rehabilitation, the leading scholarly publication in the specialty.

Mrs. Liebeck's treating physician testified that this was one of the worst scald burns he had ever seen and that this risk of harm was unacceptable.

McDonald’s admitted it had known about the risk of serious burns from its scalding hot coffee for more than 10 years. The risk had repeatedly been brought to its attention through numerous other claims and suits.

McDonalds also said during discovery that, based on a consultants advice, it held its coffee at between 180 and 190 degrees fahrenheit to maintain optimum taste. He admitted that he had not evaluated the safety ramifications at this temperature. Other establishments sell coffee at substantially lower temperatures, and coffee served at home is generally 135 to 140 degrees.

I see the difference, but is it really different?

Other establishments sell coffee at substantially lower temperatures, and coffee served at home is generally 135 to 140 degrees.

This is all I'm debating. Everyone makes coffee at 180.

Don’t fret too much about temperature, but most coffee geeks recommend 180-20o degrees Fahrenheit.

http://www.artofmanliness.com/2009/08/03/brew...of-coffee/

Heat water to optimal temperature for coffee brewing (195°F - 205°F).

I guess you just don't appreciate McDonald's pursuit of quality.

To be precise, the napkin may have started the incident, but the lawsuit is about racism at MCD by "the general manager" (whoever that might be).

I wonder if the journalists writing these headlines are retarded, or trolls grown up...

Its the only way people read articles these days.

Boring writing, this kills the journalist.

But Mexicans aren't black!

you people, like in, you people who make drama out of a fucking napkin? no? easy defendable: Take him to court and let him pay, simple as that. People claiming racism is 98% of the time abusing "white guilt"(ino, no such thing, but only fear of being labeled racist).

mexican

I can imagine ins raging over a napkin.

Aww leave Ins alone. :OP
