Woman claims she's allergic to Pentiums

[Espectro (DayZ) 0]

lol

If she wins a single penny then you are in deep trouble, this would set the roots for future (ridiculous) claims in the US. I hope the judges know what they are doing. Already the whole thing has become so terribly complicated (e.g. labour-laws in US) that another trial simillar to that of the "you didnt tell me the coffee was hot" would spam your courts of justice with wannabe accuses.

At the moment in aus, there has been cases of a law firm doing alot of dirty work such as fraud, misrepresentation (no qualifications workers posing as lawyers/solicitors), suing clients ($12000 fee for $5000 compensation case who aren't paying cause they were told no win-no fee and they didn't win) and other nasty stuff. unfortunately these are mainly slipped-over-hurt-back cases so i'm in doubt who to support. Evil lawyers vs greedy/stupid ppl???

In case you didnt notice, it is a DUTCH women sueing, not American.

Yes, but she is sueing Intel (I guess that is american), so she will have the opportunity to sue them in the US, where she could expect higher amounts to be paid than in holland  

[Col. Kurtz 0]

True, And I didnt mean to sound rude. I jusr wanted to make the point it wasnt another american sueing for strange reasons(mother sueing Sony because her son who commited suicide liked Everquest ). Thtas the problem with the American system, it lets you sue for any crazy reason. That statement does not mean this is a go go for a flame war about Americans. Unless they can find some medical proof, she might just be looking for a way to get some cash. I could probably say 'American Sit Coms irritate me, I may become a mass murderer becasue of this' and get a huge payout or something! Probably nothing that stupid but.......

Due to serveral climate changes I am also allergic to some things, but suing the product makers is immoral. There are issues with people not respecting each others needs when it comes to allergies but this is not a good case.

EDIT: Big grammar error

[ralphwiggum 6]

dumb@ss.

use AMD

[Col. Kurtz 0]

AMD is naturally better. But we must prevent this from a big happy closing from Denoir complete with smiley faces due to off topic in the off topic forum(now that is OFF! Unless there is medical proof, she just crazy. I could say, Im allergic to white cars, because of the coulour, but Im fine with biege cars or some crap(not a fan of either of those colours(colors for all you Americans out there).

The great American Pastime of filing frivolous lawsuits has FINALLY gone international!!!

[Duke_of_Ray 0]

That has to be the one of the dumbest things I have ever heard, any judge that will give that case a chance is crazy.

Do you know this song of Ray Charles where he tells the story of trying to get divorced? It is the best song ever since he interacted with the audience.

He sings something about how much he would have to pay to get rid of her and then:

Some judge who thinks is funny

tries to get my money..

"Now judge suppose I fail.."

"Well then Ray, son, go to jail.

You better keep her, I think it is cheaper.."

"You know what I have been doing dont you" (he asks the audience and they burst out laughing)

A realy good good dusty old Blues song!

Mild & Sweet in flavour and can be used liberally, especially on hot dogs and hamburgers.

Tip: Serve it with meatloaf or mixed into mayonnaise for an egg or potato salad.<span id='postcolor'>

Major, this is sad, you have nothing better to do than to look for mustard makers that have a type named after America!

[AntiPasta 0]

waah i'm allergic to stupid lawsuits! who do I sue?

well it would actually be cool if someone sues lotsa companies for being allergic to advertising, it would save us all a lot of unnecessary bullshit...

Weird sig Fubar btw

[Albert Schweitzer 10]

the opposite would be the case. Without add you would have no more sports broadcasting, no good films on TV, 50% less cinemas in your town, no sports, no free software, no OFP forum!

Well actually, American mustard is one of my favourites, that's why I knew it existed (here in Oz anyway).

Your favourite is mild and sweet? You're a sissy.

Real men only use hot mustard that'll rip the skin off your tongue and burn it nice and crispy.
