15,000 mile oil change

Okay, I know nothing about the train accident, but I am so tired of hearing about the McDonald's lawsuit being a crock. An 81 year old lady suffered third degree burns to her legs and her groin, and McDonalds didn't want to settle her claim, even though they had settled 700+ claims for coffee burns in previous years, some of which had resulted in third degree burns. McDonalds serves their coffee at 180 degrees. Somehow, I don't think any of us can drink coffee that is 180 degrees, but I could be wrong.

Here is a link to some info on that case, and the jury's feelings once they saw photos of the lady's burns.

We pass judgment without knowing much about things. We do it with politics, because we don't have the time to do the research. I am guilty of that myself. Without knowing everything or close to everything about the McDonalds coffee case, we shouldn't be expressing opinions on it. Yes, some verdicts look insane on their face, but sometimes there are reasons for them. Keep in mind that most of these high dollar verdicts are the result of jury decisions. These are decisions made by the general public, people like ourselves.
