Well you're a better man than I am Vern; I couldn't remotely figure out point PolSciPoof was trying make with that post, or who/what he was talking about.ArmyVern said:No worries though, I'm not about to accuse you of being a half decent speller anytime soon; nor of being a SME in the area you're studying.His famous quote that sent shivers in the whole academic communisty (with plausible exolanations, lest I be accused of plagiarism): FREE ENTERPRISE IS NOT AFFECTED BY HURRICANE KATRINA
An Acton teen was left with second-degree burns Saturday after having an epileptic seizure inside a KFC outlet and landing face-down in her piping-hot poutine.
Her irate father told the Sun Monday he’s not after a multi-million dollar lawsuit, he just wants to speak out to warn others and perhaps get the Colonel to turn the temperature down on the cheese and gravy.
Lee Lakin said he even accepts some responsibility for the incident because he let his daughter Kendell, 15, go to fast-food outlet alone on Saturday.
“I’m not looking for $10 million,” Lakin said. “I’m looking for someone to stand up and say, ‘We’re sorry Mr. Lakin, we’re sorry Kendell. We want to make this right and hey everybody this food is hot.’”

Yeah, it probably was McD's and not Tim's. Either way, it's still stupid.mariomike said:Let's not forget Liebeck v. McDonald's Restaurants:

This past Saturday morning, a tour bus drove through South Central in Los Angeles. It was its first time on the route, with stops like Skid Row and the L.A. County Jail. It was the launch of L.A. Gang Tours.
Founded by an ex-gang member turned social activist, Alfred Lomas, the tour’s mission is to “provide customers with a true, first-hand encounter of the history and origin of high profile gang areas,” according to its Web site.
The tour has 12 stops, including places that have been featured in movies or that have been host to riots or violence.
The site goes on to explain that each tour will be equipped with “a guide from the South Central areas who has gained hands-on knowledge and experience of the inner city lifestyle.”
The inner city lifestyle? How exciting! Intriguing! I hope there’s blood and guts involved!
It’s a worrisome prospect, to say the least. In an age where we can communicate and travel such vast dista
nces, where information is flowing unfiltered and endlessly, it’s disappointing to see such a leap backwards in the dialogue between different cultures.
For only $65, take a walk in someone else’s shoes and see how the other half lives. It’s condescending. I doubt anyone could be convinced that a two-hour tour could encapsulate the life of one gang member, let alone entire sections of the South Central community. The tour doesn’t claim to speak for thousands, but then what does it claim to represent?

The United States apparently possesses an "earthquake weapon" that set off the catastrophic quake in Haiti and killed 200,000 innocents. Don't believe it's true? Just ask Hugo Chavez.
Citing an alleged report from Russia's Northern Fleet, the Venezuelan strongman's state mouthpiece ViVe TV shot out a press release saying the 7.0 magnitude Haiti quake was caused by a U.S. test of an experimental shockwave system that can also create "weather anomalies to cause floods, droughts and hurricanes."
