When I stated those three lawsuits, I was making a general conclusion about the ridiculousness of some of the law suits in America. If you ask anybody in America, I'm almost positive that they will categorize the lady who spilled coffee on herself and sued McDonalds, a ridiculous law suit, that is actually probably the most famous one in America. When you say lawsuit, that is the first thing that comes to mind for people in America, so the mere fact that you disputed one of them either means
A) You disagree with all three lawsuits
or
B) You were just making a trivial argument for the sake of arguing and it actually had no validity or relevance to the argument at hand.
So which is it?
C) Apples and oranges, like I said. The fact that you chose a lawsuit that most people in America don't know the actual details of but they probably have heard misrepresented by rightwingers who HATE the idea of corporations ever being held responsible for the harm they do is just a reflection of your own ignorance, nothing else.
Here's another fact: McDonalds is a multi-BILLION dollar corporation, so stop acting like a $3M (NOT $40M) hit for them is no different than a $3M hit for you or me, or that mom-&-pop cleaners that's being sued for millions by that asshole judge over a lost pair of pants. Big corporations laugh at small fines, but big ones finally get their attention and make them realize their harmful behavior will not be treated lightly. If this still bothers you, so be it. We live in different worlds.
