Big Mac, extra fry, you want a supersized lawsuit with that?
Fat people.
Gone are the days of innocence where I thought all fat people were jolly. Common sense? Personal responsiblity? What are those? I'm sick, I'm hurt, now where do I sign? Yes, no matter what your ailment, you too can sue till your hearts content because nothing is ever your fault. God bless America.

Unlike you puny wannbies, America with half the entire worlds GDP can afford to throw away hundreds of millions on fucking stupid shit like this. Undeniable proof of our prosperity and inherit superiority over the backwards savages of the unAmerica lands.

They are trying to fix that one now, Incase you don't know as it seems, The Biggest and most powerful contributiers to the Democrat Party are Lawyers, infact many of those who server as Senators and Representives ARE Lawyers, and you wonder how the US Legal System has gotten the way it is?The American legal system is fucked. OJ proved this quite clearly.
Well fokes Democrats have been in control of the last fourty years with a few on and off periods but the majoirty of the Bullshit Laws that let people sue companys for this shit were written and implaced by Democracitly controled Goverment(It makes sense who do you think reperesentives the's baffons? Lawyers... gotta come from somewhere and if they happen to spend two or six years in Congress don't think they will write themsleves some things to make live easier and them richer? Its human nature)
Anyway that was one of the things they tossed in the new Congomo-bill aka Homeland Security was that Drug Companys who made Vacccines for things like Smallpox and Anthrax where to be immune from Sueing for millions if they killed a person or two(One of the Talking Heads at CNN Said that if the Entire US popluas of 260 Million+ were injected that 20,000 would get sick and 4,000 would die or a .0000001% Chance you would die)
Anyway the Drug Companys where to be immune from the Lawsuits(They are making the Vaccines at the Request of the Federal Goverment) and required to pay a fixed amount(100k or close to that If I remeber the guy on CNN correctly) for every accidential Death
Coures the Democrats are fighting it tooth and nail so we will see how that one goes....
Be pepared for the Filestorm after that one fokes
