I think it’s an amazing Freudian-type reference to Cropsey, the Staten Island urban legend of the murderous escaped mental patient...
And I’m sure that when Trump pictured himself being played by one of our “sexiest” male actors back in the 1990s, that this was not how he imagined it would go.
Maybe if we think of it as just composting...is that more or less insane...? 《mildly horrified that I am even thinking about this》
Or go to your local library. Then at least they can increase their circulation count for when they need to prove that people actually use libraries (come budget time). If someone must benefit from this...
Then that is what I, at least, hope for: the willingness for both sides to have a respectful open discussion about guns in this country - even if we don’t all speak in the same language. I am all about trying to understand perspectives other than mine. We might not agree, but if we can understand where each side is…
Well, in the McDonald’s case, for instance, part of the “defect” was that McDonald’s did not properly convey how dangerous their product was, thus making the marketing defective. Plus there was a bunch of breach of warranty stuff. http://abnormaluse.com/2011/01/stella-liebeck-mcdonalds-hot-coffee.html
Also, just thinking...
“Also, the McDonalds hot coffee case was a lot more complicated than that, and people seriously need to stop simplifying it down to “Store sold hot coffee, then got sued by idiot and lost.””
Yeah, I realize now that I should not have just used the first famous product negligence case that came to mind. I had forgotten how touchy feelings still were. I had moved on. There are just too many more important ( to me ) cases highlighting flaws in our court systems. But to each their own!
Ah, I should have said AR-15 modeled, like the article (too late to edit now). Point taken.
The article above stated that Remington Outdoor was the manufacturer, and that they were one of the defendants in the case. Is the Jezebel article incorrect?
“Should the Boston Marathon victims be able to sue makers of pressure cookers?”
I did debate saying non-life threatening. So I do agree with you there. I was specifically tryin to contrast the difference between the danger of coffee to the lap vs. bullet to chest/brain.
Gosh golly gee! I am comforted that people are still so worried that a bad word might be accidentally thought about McDonald’s, that they find it more important to pissant the details of a 20 year old court case rather than engage with the content of a post discussing the gun debate. Impressive.
Sorry to nitpick back, but can you comment on my reply to Major Lazer?
Really? Because I know a lot about this case.
Right?! Is it that hard to believe that just because someone doesn’t know all the specialized equipment parts, that they have absolutely nothing to add to the conversation. I mean, how do people even do their jobs if the are only willing to speak to people who know all the right terminology for their speciality…
