Of course you wouldn't. Better to try something like this: The EZWaterFlo Hygenic Enema kit Snaps on your bathroom faucet with instant ease. The penetrating power of controlled water tempurature and pressure makes EZWater Flo's syringe the most efficient hygienic instrument ever developed. EZ WaterFlo Enema Kit � "No Mess, No Bother...Try it...You�ll Love it." click pic to go to the EZWaterFlo Hygenic Enema site  For extra fun I would suggest the Shower Combo Pack which includes both the EZWaterFlo Hygenic Enema kit and the EZWaterFlo WaterPICK. The WaterPICK Cleans between Teeth, under Bridges, between Braces and Massages Gums. �It is the most efficient oral hygiene instrument ever developed!� Also works as an eye, ear, and nasal wash. You can clean out both ends at the same time in the shower! | ||

Yesterday morning, i walked into the office to find a box of Mallomars on my DESk... My co-worker brought them in for me... She left 3:30 yesterday afternoon... The box was gone before she was; last night i went to McDonald's and had two cheeseburgers, a double cheeseburger and a large fries (and a 32oz Snapple Iced Tea); i'm down 10 or so pounds and i think i might need a new belt relatively soon...

Jonas, Denmark may be a great place to live, but face it, the country as a whole is insignificant in world affairs compared to the US. When was the last time denmark, with its 0.08% of the world's population, influenced what goes on in the world? To put this in perspective, israel has about 6.5mil citizens, and every week that country influences what goes on in its region. What a judge would do with the case in question really isnt important, because no one in the united states really cares. Yeah, stupid lawsuits are "automatically connected" to the US just like high gun violence and crime is "automatically connected" to the US. go back and look at that thread and you will see what i'm talking about. I agree with nebula. | ||

"I'm not attacking you or your country, I'm just saying for someone as the US that is the most selfobsorbed land of all" Jonas, that's a direct quote from your last post. You say you are not attacking the US, yet call it the most self-absorbed land IN THE SAME SENTENCE. Just about every post of yours I read is a pu$$y-passive attack on the US. You attack the US then turn around and talk about how much better life is in Denmark. I'm sick of hearing it. So shut up. Please. | ||

"I'm in law school, I'm also on a diet, lost 30 # last year & go to the gym." Heck, I lost 70 lb in college without even trying. (Even with Phila steak sandwitches on corner kiosks.) On CNN today was a report of a study that blames obesity on genes. So now I guess they can sue Burger King and their parents. Now, let's review the case of the Receding Hair Line.  | ||

The protector? - From whom? You are the only one slandering me. That tells more about you than me. It's a fact, that stupid lawsuits is automaticly combined with the US. How about all the other countries with 300 million inhabitants? - Why aren't we hearing about stupid lawsuits there? - Because they are not as frequent (doesn t happen every other day) I'm not attacking you or your country, I'm just saying for someone as the US that is the most selfobsorbed land of all, their are some flaws. And this is one of them. I really can't see how you can deny it- My 2 cents. | ||

I still think it's the "yuppies" fault.... Well, not all of it. Two kind of people. Ones who want money to buy themselves things they like and to have a better quality of life....And those who like money to buy the things "others" like and throw it in their face...Look at me, look at me!!.......Na, I think I'll look the other way. Go ahead and make something for yourself and have all the "toys" you want...But stop being all about "me" and have some consideration or even knowledge that other people DO exist and have something to offer. It's always about the money. Not a bad motivation if it gets you off your ass and to work hard but it seems now there are no "rules" or "ethics" to getting and it's going MAINSTREAM. Win, steal, inherit or •••• someone out of it. Heaven forbid you should learn, invent, be creative and work your ass off to "further" the race. Are we going backward? I think the dolphins are scratching their heads. I have said for a few years now that I think the judges have a HUGE responsability now. More so than they think. Then could save or ruin this country. Just keep throwing this •••• out of court. And don't award anymore than is needed to fix the problem. I understand the concept of punitive damages and lawsuits but how many of these suits are "set-up"?? "I'll move to the golf course so my kid will get hit by a stray ball, then I can sue the rich golfer and by a house in the neighborhood I really want to be in!!" Pre-meditated suits I call them and they should be a felony. I agree people need to think more often and use common sense. What if I was going 100 on the highway and told the cop I didnt know it wasn't legal. Would he agree? How is that different than eating a triple chocolate marshmallo, double fudge peanut carmel Super sunday ultra float at a restaurant? Some things are not easily known and I can see the ignorance defense, but Palease. Pretty soon all the hard working, good, entrepenurial(sp?) type people who actually FURTHER this country will stop because they don't want to work 60 years to get it all talken away by some sorry ass who can't keep a job for 3 days. There is some saying in the legal system I'm not sure of but about "just punishment for just crime" Uh, what happended to this? What about countersuits. I'd like to see some of these victims of pathetic law suits countersue the •••• out of these bums and give the proceeds to someone who needs it. Wait till blind people get sued because their leader dog has his privates viewable and their child is tramatised after seeing a "doggie peepee" I think all of this is truamatising me . Who do I sue?? | ||

Jonas - My point exactly! Denmark has only five million people. It is much easier to handle and govern 5 mil than it is to handle and govern 300mil. In addition, just the sheer number of people in the US allows for a vastly different set of values and opinions, and there are issues in the US that will never be in Denmark simply because of Denmark's small population. I guarantee you that if Denmark were to grow to 300mil people, you'd see the exact same trends as we do in the US. And my problem is that I keep seeing you post crap about the US, and about how much better it is in Denmark. I'm glad you like your country, and I'm glad you find it superior to the US, but it's apples to oranges, and the two cannot be compared. | ||

Nebula, what's your problem? We can never do that. That's impossible with a country the size of Denmark. We have 5 millions inhabitants, all together. It's pretty limited how money we can spit out of here. I don't hack on your lawyers, I just think it's redicilous that you can sue people for something like that and get somewhere with it. It's pretty simple, and it does not justify your hostility. | ||

You guys can all sh!t on lawyers all you want, but I'll bet you are crying for one the next time you get knee-deep in trouble. Are there stupid lawsuits out there? Of course there are. Are there smart judges who can recognize a stupid lawsuit? Of course there are. Anyone remember the Oreo fiasco? As I recall, a judges tossed that turd and it's stinky lawyer out the door. Jonas, go ahead and preach about the superior quality of the courts and everything else in Denmark, but just try to remember that the US has farted out more money and power than your country will ever acquire. That kind of success does not come from having an inferior system of economics, government, or law. Anyways, the bad lawyers get the press, while the vast majority of lawyers are actually attempting to either defend the accused, punish the guilty, or ensure the livlyhood of their clients. | ||

"Seemingly innocent people get crucified cus of some AHole DA" ....

rich stephens.... In order for your argument to make sense there would have to be a concrete link between the increasing issuance of "stupid" lawsuits, and the easement of the actions by those fraudulent, thieving, companies you mentioned. There is none. I don't lay the blame at the door of law firms either. | ||

Just remember that for every stupid lawsuit against a business or an industry (fast food, tobacco), there are a couple dozen businesses that are really getting away with fraud, theft, and actions that actually do cause people to die. So if the lawyers want to practice on and pad their pockets with the silly stuff, that's fine with me. As long as they are around to take on Enron and Exxon and the rest when we need them. -Rich | ||

William, that's great - we need people like you to address the imbalance. My cousin went through Stanford Law and works to save the environment. I used to think the notion of altruistic lawyers was an oxymoron. One thing I wonder about is how many lawyers, politicians, etc. start out with good intentions and get corrupted by the system? Brings to mind another great book called Discipline of Power. | ||

I apologize if anyone is tired of me bringing it up, but it seems relevant to this thread. This book is brilliant; not only a harbinger for what lies ahead, but one with solutions for the dilemnas it raises. I would love to see a groundswell of support. Catherine, the author, has a very impressive background. Lawyers are an easy target, and of course there are plenty of good ones out there, like Art. This book isn't full of cheap shots; she began her career as a lawyer and judge herself, in addition to her work in the news. I highly recommend it and think this will be one of THE most important issues in our societies future!  | ||

I agree with Toby 91 ! But what really gets me is that to be a lawyer you must be reasonably intelligent and articulate (all jokes aside for the moment). And then you must do all that schooling, it's a big committement to make. So if anyone out there knows the damage that these petty law suites does now and will do to our future - they should. But I don't see them doing anything to stop it as it's a heck of a meal ticket. I also totally agree that in lawsuits the loser should pay, like the REST OF THE WORLD DOES. But this won't happen because those "smart" legal people (and their lobbyists) would lose out on all these stupid lawsuits. It's like those big players in the game also write the rules. It would take a huge public outcry to change this situation, because it's never gonna happen from the top down. But unfortunately in America people don't think for themselves enough, and are more apt to follow the leader and be hearded like sheep. America needs a better moral base, right from childhood on up. What's morally right seems to take a back seat to the almighty dollar. What will we do? | ||

These lawsuits are filed because they PAY OFF FOR THE LAWYERS! According to a report from the Manhatten Institute in todays Wash. Times. -$40Billion profit for trial lawyers last year on total settlements of $204 Billion from asbestos, mold, malpractice etc not counting tobacco settlements. -lawsuits from 1975 to 2001 cost $2.8 Trillion -Plantive lawyers get 19% of an average settlement, defense laywers net 14%, plantives get 46% and the rest 26% for admin costs (to the lawyers) -300 lawyers from 86 tobacco settlement firms will get $30 Billion over 25 years -600,000 asbestos lawsuits have been filed. 67 companies bankrupt and $54 Billion in settlements so far with a total of $275 Billion expected WOW- did I make a bad career choice 40 years ago! | ||

Not to generalize, (okay, I will), but as Kds said, whether it's criminal law or civil law, no one feels they should be held responsible for their actions. If you kill someone, your defence team (if you're rich enough) will trot out ten shrinks to say that you shouldn't be responsible because of x, y and z. If it's a civil situation, no case is too outlandish. There is a guy here in Canada right now that is claiming that he wasn't warned that cigarettes were addictive and to the best of my knowledge the case is proceeding. For those of you that have never seen a pack of CDN smokes, a third of the box is a warning label accompanied with a gruesome picture of cancer or something else. Where is Darwin when we need him? Not only are we ensuring the survival of the dumbest, we're actually encouraging it and showing people that it pays off to be an ignorant twit. | ||

That could never work in this country. The judge wood throw away the case before it got started. I actually think the supena will be denied.

Jon, fast cars have been around since the 1930s, they are nothing new. In fact the 60s muscle craze was killed off by the oil crisis & the insurance Cos. I think that the avg supercar buyer is a bit beyond his teens & MAY have better sense, not necesarily better driving skills though. I think the market for Japanese rice rockets & cheap performance cars which can easily be bought by teens with more $ than sense may be in peril from the insurance Cos | ||
