Philip Morris loses $28B suit

Joel,
personal responsibility for being a slave?
What cave did you just crawl out of?

Returning to topic: I think this is utterly false. Anyone care to present evidence of it´s validity?

Belwarrior: The judge would be right to throw you out of court, of course! But sometimes I, too, wish to win an american "I am stupid and want money" lawsuit - I'd never have to worry about money again

Sorry about putting that into my post I keep forgetting that their are some here who may not know the whole story on a issue. It's not about what happen then but about what is happening now. But then again this is off topic.

You mean like black people now wanting money because their forefathers were enslaved?

you have no idea how much i agree with you on that..... i've been telling ppl here the same thing...... especialy students and Uni VPs and professors....

but no one wants to listn to me so all i do is when something wrong goes for them i just sigh and say "i told you so"


i have been smoking for the past 7 years now... i know fully the effects of smoking on my health..... it is a risk that i have brought on to my self.... no how stupid would i be if i blamed my health problem on the existance of tobako and the things associated with cigarets...... the nicoteen industry is a screwed up industry ... but that is our fault not theirs... all we have to do is say no... right???

but i like to smoke....

The best way to make smoking go away is to make smoking lethal....from the first puff...

CHHAS,
it´s not finally set yet. We´ll have to wait and see, but I bet you a Tuborg it will be reduced to a very large extent.

Like the compenatory damages paid to victims (or their decendants) of WW2 in many euaropean countries, also from companies formerly taking advantage of prisoners of war or making money out of stolen goods.
Would it really be that wrong?

Rubank,

If that is something you wish to discuss then start a new thread. That is not what this one is about and I have already apologized for bringing it up.

Yeah, sorry for bringing it up here again, too.

Off to bed now, good night guys
