I feel for the kid, but this lawsuit is ridiculous.

Yeah, giving someone accused of theft or accepting bribes enough rope to hang themselves seems reasonable; when public safety is at risk though, not so much.

Who is crucifying MCDonald’s here? People are referring to the facts that were presented which led the jury to find McDonald’s negligent.

Seriously? It’s one thing that some people are dismissive of rape or not acknowledging the long-term damage it causes, but who are you to make a judgement call about who has it worse?

Joanna’s going to be sharing her experiences tomorrow

I didn’t say that they weren’t; I said that having an opinion than differs from their current statement doesn’t mean the OP thinks she’s smarter than they are.

Not sure why people are attacking you for sharing your experience/thoughts.

Prior to this recent decision, it seemed they held a similar opinion to the OP.

Yeah, I think there are a lot of valid arguments to be made for both sides, but “other OTC meds can kill you too” does not strike me as one of them.

I preface this by saying I don’t disagree with you as far as pharmacist’s competencies go, and I’m not arguing that MDs are “better”.

I understand the concept of an Alford plea and don’t disagree with what you’re saying.

I’m a big fan of Project Innocence and have also seen firsthand the way the justice system encourages guilty pleas for reduced sentences, but pleading guilty and admitting guilt are two separate things IMHO.

I want to climb through the Internet and hug you.

My costume was someone who can tolerate large groups of small children. We should go as a couple next year.

(FWIW, I didn’t think your comment implied you were “pro-ultimatum)

Thanks!

I was thinking the same thing!

I get all that, but I don’t understand how giving an ultimatum changes anything - it strikes me as putting unfair pressure on one’s partner, instead of just communicating with each other about what your intentions & long-term goals are.

But you can just as easily say you’re a fiancé in those situations - the possibility of encountering situations like those (IMHO) are not a reason to push for a lifelong commitment or force someone’s hand.

I went through similar with my cat Kaya Cher and her thyroid meds.
