Don't forget all the corpses who will have to smash through their steel coffins and up through all that compacted earth..some through cement too! A gaziadiillion to one against it. thats really what christians believe, that you just rise skyward no matter where you are or if you are dead??? i always find it funny that a book like l ron hubbards is dismissed as lunacy but the bible is so revered View Post \| View Thread	UberDog	34	May 21, 2011 View Post \| View Thread
replied to Can Someone Answer This Question in General Discussion Quote Originally Posted by smartapple123: Our earth is a grain of salt in the grand scheme of things.

Now let me ask you a question. If there are millions of other planets, and many of them have intelligent life on them, wouldnt you also say that many of them are a lot and i mean a LOT smarter than us? This just lead me to believe we are a VERY weak planet. Weak is not good. Im not trying to get into religous details bu God doesnt like weak people. Hence why many think its the end of times. God just may be fed up........just a thought there are 600 billion stars in the universe, so there are probably trillions of planets. yes, statistically speaking there is probably intelligent life on another planet somewhere. fwiw, if god spent 1 second creating each star thats almost 7000 days, nevermind the time to create planets and moons View Post \| View Thread	D_Unit	35	May 21, 2011 View Post \| View Thread

replied to mother suing Chuck E. Cheese Pizza for $5 million for making kids gambling addicts in General Discussion Quote Originally Posted by dl36: steveshane, what do you think specifically about the 5million dollar chuck-e-cheese lawsuit? i followed the link in the article to another site that was supposed to detail the lawsuit, but it was pretty generic. i would have to think that if her kids are now compulsive gamblers and the only 'gambling' theyve done before was at chuck e cheese and the mother was unaware of the 'gambling' games and chuck e cheese actually offers games of luck and not skill, thats the only way, however small, she would have a case. but i dont think someone just goes from 0->compulsive gambler overnight, which would mean the mother ignored signs and continued to take her kids to this place that she thinks is evil. i would bet (pun intended) the mother is mad bc her kids want to go there to win more tickets so they can spend $50 on games to win a $10 toy. and she just assumes (or her lawyer is telling her) that since you can win tickets, its gambling, even though everyone would agree games like skee ball is a game of skill. earlier, someone mentioned a roulette type wheel with a light, if i remember correctly, at least the game im thinking of, is definitely a game of skill bc you choose when to stop the light and the light makes another revolution just for show, kinda the same way a slot machine is determined when you push the button but continues for show. the us doesnt need to go as far as having a loser pays system (if you file a lawsuit and lose you pay the other sides legal fees), but there has to be a higher hurdle to clear, maybe something like you need to pay 1% of what you are suing for in filing fees. but you have to remember the politics of it. most politicians are lawyers, and the trial lawyers assn is a HUGE donor to democrats View Post \| View Thread	dl36	40	May 21, 2011 View Post \| View Thread

replied to have you ever been knocked out before? in General Discussion i was about 7 or 8 being the bat boy at my step dads baseball game, i wasnt paying attention and took a foul ball right in the face. i didnt know i got knocked out till later someone said i flipped backwards off my stool, i just remember being hit and then being on the ground. to captain credit.... i had a friend in college who was getting head from a girl at a party and in walked her bf, my friend, still with his pants around his ankles, knocked out the bf. i told him he shoulda splooged on the bf....

replied to mother suing Chuck E. Cheese Pizza for $5 million for making kids gambling addicts in General Discussion Quote Originally Posted by Biscuiteater1: Right,but in same article it quotes National Coffee Association of USA that coffee is best brewed at 195-205. And should be maintained 180-185.Anyway i agree Mac should have paid her medical and been done with it.One last question though, lets say Macs could prove she regularly bought coffee there.Would that make a difference, that would mean she had to know how hot it was. thats actually a good point, one ive never heard before i will say unless the women had knowledge of 1) the actual temp of the coffee and 2) the temp and duration at which burns are caused, that she would still have a case. i think theres a difference between knowing a non boiling liquid is hot and knowing that its hot enough to cause you to get burned so badly you need skin grafts. as i said before, i do think we are too sue happy. my window screens have a warning on them saying they wont hold your baby from falling out of the window. which means someone actually thought they would and a baby fell out a window and they sued, or they put the warnings on their bc they were afraid someone would be so stupid to think it would hold a baby and sue.

replied to mother suing Chuck E. Cheese Pizza for $5 million for making kids gambling addicts in General Discussion Quote Originally Posted by Biscuiteater1: Thank ya buddy, now i'm a little more educated on the matter.Let me ask you, do you think that her age and region where it was spilled made it a little more damaging?Do you think that all the other similar hot coffee,tea, coco etc spill suits that have been dismissed were wrong,remember similar now.Look i'm no shill for big money or ins. companies. I do think they should have been more clear with warning about how hot the coffee is, though it probably will not stop us from spilling coffee on ourselfes.Personally i like my coffee hot , that way it last longer. mcds was heating the coffee to 180 degrees and they had already settled numerous cases of ppl being burned. a quick google search says 140 degree water will cause 3rd degree burns after a few seconds. im a big tort reform guy, but this lady absolutely deserved to win. and so does anyone else who suffered the same trauma she did from something that should be pretty mundane. i mean she needed to get skin grafts, its not like she just got a blister. the jury probably awarded her more bc shes a sympathetic victim, and if you have a problem with that here, you must absolutely hate john edwards with every fiber of your body, but also bc mcds told her to go pound sand. looking at the wikipedia page, it says the judge reduced the verdict to 600k. id hardly call that excessive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebeck_v._McDonald%27s_Restaurants View Post \| View Thread	dl36	40	May 20, 2011 View Post \| View Thread
replied to mother suing Chuck E. Cheese Pizza for $5 million for making kids gambling addicts in General Discussion Quote Originally Posted by Biscuiteater1: I still believe the sue me sue you ball got rolling with the bimbo and Mcdonalds coffee. It opened up the flood gates. im still amazed everytime someone says something like this about this case lets recap, mcds was using a cheap coffee bean, in order to make the aroma better, they heated it way beyond normal, apparently even shitty beans smell good at high temps. the grandma spilled the coffee on herself and received THIRD DEGREE BURNS, on her vagina no less. she initially only asked mcds for money to cover he medical bills, mcds told her to go f herself, she sued and won. the amount the jury awarded was the daily sales of coffee for mcds world or nationwide. the whole point of awarding a judgment is to make it punitive enough for the perpetrator to not do it again. so i guess if you ever get THIRD DEGREE burns from something that should otherwise be safe, you arent going to sue??? please. you make it seem like she sued bc her shirt got stained when she spilled the coffee and sued for millions.

replied to Say a 9 year old girl knocks on your door just after midnight… in General Discussion its funny with all the responses thinking its a scam. a few years ago in NH (or maybe vermont) a woman who was lost wonders onto a guys property, still ~40 yds from his house, the guy comes to his porch with a gun and says get the f off my property. he ends up being convicted for something like intimidation. part of the prosecutions case was, she was a harmless woman.

replied to Trip recap in Las Vegas i was playing at a 6 deck table a few months ago, i hit with 12 vs a dealer 2. some lady at the table freaked out, you would have thought i just shot her dog. i told the lady first off, this is a $5 table, if you are so great at BJ, why arent you playing higher limits. i also mention that she can go to the gift shop and buy a BJ strategy card and it will tell you to hit with 12 or 13 vs a dealer 2. she said those cards are lies and a scam to get ppl to lose more money to the casino. i learned a long time ago to not be amazed at how dumb some ppl can be View Post \| View Thread	SweetLou15	13	May 18, 2011 View Post \| View Thread
created a topic question about the $20 hotel trick in Las Vegas ive seen several ppl on various forums talk about slipping the front desk person a $20 behind your id and getting a free room upgrade. ive never dont this before and was wondering what type of upgrades are normal. i already have a suite at the mgm booked, would they upgrade me to a bigger suite? or does the $20 'only' work for ppl who book a basic room. thanks View Post \| View Thread	steveshane67	7	May 18, 2011 View Post \| View Thread

replied to lets settle this once and for all dj in Penalty Box shocking, dj wont even answer to what in my post was "Next time, I ban you.

If I were you, I would make nice with the box boys in here because fool me once, fool me twice, but not again. let me also add, that i never claimed i was boxed for being another user, YOU DID. i dont know how its possible but somehow you dont know there are internet search engines out there, or that even covers has one for their site. and i wonder why you havent responded to my last post? you are just enforcing the pattern of making false claims and running away when asked for proof. where is this person who made post 8? https://www.covers.com/postingforum/post01/showmessage.aspx?spt=87&sub=101032760 "As an aside, you will find I am much more likely to look for a rational discussion on this topic if the response consists of facts, figures, ideas, plans, and concepts...." cmon, dj, be a man, where are your facts?

I dont see what else i can do to have this resolved. do you think im out of line for wanting an explanation why dj can make such claims, not back them up, and then box me when i point out his inconsistencies when he asks other posters for proof of their claims? hes been dodging this issue for months now, which is fine, but once he started boxing me for bringing it up, then it became a real problem.

A sign of the times I guess. Keep em dumb and keep em under our control. But no........ Lets take care of those real crooks, teachers making 23,000 starting wages that can't even support themselves, let alone a family. Any of you dimwits that support this trivial union busting need to see this movie.

Then the kicker....he says he is very liquid and has very little DEBT .... God damnit!! How the FUCK are you worth over 2 billion (apparently much in cash etc) and you still OWE people money. Our country in a nutshell. He has no plan. He wants publicity for free. Probably gonna gave another reality show or some other shit. Why cant we find a smart, down to earth US citizen to run this country? Is it really that impossble? you dont understand 2 concepts. 1) his projects/businesses are independent entities 2) sometimes its good to have debt. my bro-in-laws boss (a big time lawyer) just bought a big beach house, his accountant told him to only pay ~80% of it, instead of 100% of it cash, bc of the tax breaks he would get.
