She didn't even buy a ticket!:huh: Did she expect to just be handed the winning ticket? I hope she is forced to pay court costs:shifty:
At least the court decided that she was full of it. I'm not sure if it wouldn't be different had it been a Florida women or sommat.

In Florida's courts she probably would have won the lottery jackpot plus twice that sum as compensation for the cruel pain from the stress - because money cannot really compensate for that, you know... :lol:
They really need to start punishing people who try to scam our legal systems. In my opinion it's similar to fraud.

No, in Florida's Courts she would have been declared President of the United States with the majority of valid votes :rotfl:

In this ladies case they have punished her, she would feel a right fool now than before she sued. What was she thinking!:nope:
Similar to those morons who sue the tobacco companies after getting lung cancer because they were'nt warned smoking can be harmful.
Similar to those morons who sue the tobacco companies after getting lung cancer because they were'nt warned smoking can be harmful. Well thats not quite the same. The tobacco companies have secretly for decades been amping up the lethality of smoking in the pursuit of increasing the chemical dependency of nicotine in the human body. That definitely isn't part of the deal, even if smoking is bad for you.

All very well, but when did the first warnings appear on packets? sometime in the 70's or earlier?

And what of the emphatic denials by the tobacco industry before congress that nicotine is addictive? Its one thing to be warned or not warned generally, but to manipulate the reality behind it in an obviously devious way and a way that is against the benefit and safety of the public is or should be illegal.
Tobacco isn't a good comparison here. They actually are bloodsucking sons of bitches.

Totally agree mate!:up:

As a smoker I agree with this. Even the chemicals they add to the paper in order for a cigarette to continually burn instead of burning out is disgraceful. A reason why I like to roll my own.
Heck I know it's bad for me which is one reason I will eventually quit, but for now it's a thing I enjoy. Plus i'm addicted.... :damn:
THAT'S IT I'M SUING UBI FOR NOT PROVIDING ME WITH A NEW COMPUTER TO RUN BOTH SH3 AND SH4 AT THE HIGHEST SETTINGS. I ALSO AM SUING FOR NOT PROVIDING A LIVE-IN MAID TO DO ALL HOUSEHOLD CHORES AND SHOPPING TO LEAVE ME MORE TIME FOR PLAY. OH AND WHERE IS MY CLONE TO GO TO WORK FOR ME? :doh:
