kallend 1,673 #2 January 9, 2008 "It's important to the person who filed it, so we're taking every single claim seriously," Corps spokeswoman Amanda Jones said. Hmm. I have a hard time taking a $3peta claim seriously. On and on she goes....... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

Unstable 8 #3 January 9, 2008 Yeah Right. Look at what the plantifs are saying.... Quote"There's no way on earth you can figure it out," he said. "The trauma these people have undergone is unlike anything that has occurred in the history of our country." Please don't think that I'm not giving the victims of Katrina no credit - but I think that this statement is a GROSS exaggeration. Suing the government for that amount is either a publicity stunt or an act of sheer insanity. How can they even compare the suffering to that Suffered by the Native Americans on their trail of Tears, or the damage done the the nation as a whole after Pearl Harbor.=========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

livendive 8 #5 January 9, 2008 I say we offer to pay him/her immediately following his/her receipt of 3 quadrillion bitchslaps. Since obviously the plaintiff will want to get these over with as quickly as possible, we should commit to one per second until they have all been delivered or 3 quadrillion seconds have passed, whichever comes first.

Look at the bright side, if we invest one cent today drawing a measly 2 percent interest, by the end of the term we'll have enough to pay off this guy and two similar cases with better than a quadrillion dollars left over!

Unstable 8 #18 January 11, 2008 I hate to say this, but this would probably start falling under the "Pussification of America" thread.

AdamLanes 1 #19 January 11, 2008 Quote ...being an American Citizen entitles you to... The sense of entitlement is a major fallacy in a free society.
