Guest guest Posted February 2, 2000 Report Share Posted February 2, 2000 I heartily concur, both Shucky and Byrne Bunch have been fonts of unselfish knowledge to this list. I have been encouraged, tutored, and been uplifted by these two ladies. I would like to thank them (on behalf of most of us on the list I believe) for all of their contributions...... Yvette, now in sunny Trinidad. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been on lists before that were so very rigid about staying on topid and I guess I'm overly conscious of figuring out what the boundaries are here. I agree, Vince - I'd rather have my health as well. I actually had somewhat of an opportunity to sue a number of years ago. At least I had someone suggest to me that I did. It was about six months after my car accident and I was walking through a parking lot and there had been an oil spill and I fell. My right leg was still healing from the car accident (I'd shattered the kneecap and the leg wasn't yet bending more than 35 degrees) and when I went down I looked around to see my right foot behind me! After that I had someone tell me that I should sue the storeowner because of the oil spill in the parking lot! But my only concern was that there wasn't additional damage done. In that case, actually, it did me some good because it helped to rapidly increase the bend in my leg! Anyway, the point was that some people thought I could have sued for " pain and suffering " even though there wasn't any physical damage to my leg. But who ever said that life should be without pain and suffering?? To me it was as much my own fault for not paying attention to the fact that there was oil on the ground as it was the storeowner's for not seeing it and getting it cleaned up. This is life - sometimes bad things happen. I think the world would be a better place if people stopped expecting someone else to pay for the unpleasantness in life. Of course I'm not suggesting that there's NEVER a legitimate occasion for a lawsuit - just that it's gotten way out of hand. just my thoughts, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 4, 2002 Report Share Posted February 4, 2002 We certainly need to take personal responsibility and not expect someone else to keep us safe and healthy. However, I note with interest the parallel between the tobacco usage in the past and the junkfood/beverage usage today. When I was growing up my father smoked non-filtered cigarettes, along with virtually everyone else in his generation. It was very acceptable then. Now people are suing and winning. Lo and behold they are acknowleging the harm they caused themselves but blaming someone else. Now they expect large compensations from the people who gave them what they wanted and told them what they wanted to hear. What's next? I'm not at all surprised that the same logic is being applied to Coke. Next, maybe aspertame? Maybe hydrolized vegatable oil? Maybe white flour and/or sugar? Maybe surgeries such as gall bladder removal? How about pharmacutical drugs of various types? I won't be surprised to see more law suits in the future for the same reasons that people are suing for their tobacco caused problems. Myself, I'd rather have my health than the money from a law suit down the road. To have my health, I'll need to educate myself and make decisions based not on what is widely acceptable today, but on what is true and makes sence. BTW, this doesn't seem off-topic to me.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2002 Report Share Posted February 4, 2002 Vince, I agree with you about how it seems ridiculous that people choose to smoke, and then sue the tobacco companies, even though there are warnings on the package. The only thing that makes it maybe OK in my opinion (fencesitter here I guess) is that for so many years the tobacco industry claimed it was not addictive, when they knew it was.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2002 Report Share Posted February 4, 2002 , Wow. I admire your stance on the oil spill incident. I think an awful lot of people would have sued. Hopefully the owner of the property realized the dangerous situation, and was more careful in the future. Who among us has never made a mistake. Good for you.

It was not given out until, late 60's how damaging smoking was for you - people were given cigarettes and almost forced to smoke during the war because it was a known sedative and calmer - I would personally like to sue the tobacco companies for not telling me how harmful smoking was prior to me starting to smoke in 1961, all I was told was 'it is a waste of money' not how it could/would cause heart disease - especially when they had all the information in a report that they kept locked up and away from the public.
