- Saskatchewan: Hahahahahahahaha... No.
Amazing fluffy cloud kind of day. Lovin it. #regina #saskatchewan #exploresask #explorecanada #clouds #sky
I love that almost 90K people felt the need to be upset about this. How dare those uppity Canadians make fun of America’s long and sorted history of frivolous lawsuits! If only she had free health care, then she wouldn’t have needed to take McDicks to court.whoa canada
someone needs to turn down that sass level
Two things to know about Canada!
- We are smart enough to know hot things should be hot.
- We are sorry if you don’t
A few things you need to know about this hot coffee case:
- It wasn’t an issue of the coffee being because no fucking shit coffee is hot, but McDonald’s had over heated their water to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s 121C. Not just hot, but really FUCKING hot. Your fancy Starbucks lattes are brewed to 150 degrees.
- The 79 year old woman had this cup of 250F (121C) coffee between her legs when it spilled so 250F (121C) coffee spilled on her genitals
- She got third degree burns…on her genitals. THIRD DEGREE.
- She had to have skin grafts to repair the damage
- When she sued McDonald’s, it wasn’t for millions of dollars, it was for $20,000 to cover hospital costs and court fees. 20-fucking-thousand.
- It was the courts that awarded her the amount of money she got. Again, she only wanted hospital bills and court costs
- McDonald’s changed their heating policy, but not before making her sign a gag order keeping her from talking about this case
- So she had to live on hearing little shits like you call her stupid and money-grubbing, and other horrendous stuff because she dared ask the company in the wrong to fix what they fucked up.
I know I’ve reblogged this before tonight but so help me god, I will keep reblogging this with the proper information so everyone can maybe learn not to be an asshole. Like I said before, next person to mock this woman can have 250F (121C) water poured on their dick or lady dick and see how you like it.
So sit the fuck down, Canada.
This is my favorite post because in this post, Canadia gets told.
As I Canadian, I’d like to sincerely apologize for the assholes who make posts like this.
Could be wrong, but, I thought water couldn’t boil any hotter than 100°C?
Pretty much. Water at 121 degrees Celsius exists only in vapor form at sea level.
IIRC, it was something like 180 degrees, which is still pretty fucking hot. I don’t recall her age, but the remaining facts are correct.
To kinda belabor a point, spilled coffee causing third degree burns through clothing. The kind of burns that you usually look for by the smell of charred meat. That’s a little hot.
I do recall, though, that she did sue for a good chunk of money more than the medical bills and court costs. However, that’s a pretty good strategy when suing a corporation, making the potential loss be high enough that they’re willing to settle, in or out of court, for a reasonable amount with a minimum of fuss.

As a gun owner, you have to be cool-headed, moreso than the police ever have to be.
And you do not ever run around pretending to be the police while carrying a gun because then shit like this can happen.
You do not start shit, act aggressively, flip the bird, roll your eyes, talk shit, or even raise your voice. To anyone. Ever.
A combat instructor (who happened to be Buddhist and a Marine) once said to me: “From now on, when dealing with (ed.) crazy / possibly violent people, you will lose every argument. You are always wrong. You are sorry for impinging on their day. You will apologize and apologize again. You will back the fuck down. You will put your tail between your legs. You will let them talk shit about your ladyfriend. You will let them call your mother a bitch and a whore and your dad a bastard. You have no ego. “
“You do all this because if you are the one to start a fight, by default that fight now has a gun in it, and if you start losing, you’re going to pull it and kill him. And even if you don’t go to jail because you could convince the jury that it was self-defense, you’re going to have to live with the fact that you could have saved someone’s life and yet you let your ego kill someone.”
“You are not the police, so don’t act like them. Though all of you [civilians] are better shots than the police, you do not have a union plus free lawyers protecting you if you screw up.”
ed: He also said: “but after backing down and trying to apologize, if at any time you then feel your life or that of a loved one is in danger, put three rounds into his [cardiothoracic] vault, call the police, [ed: call a lawyer too], give a statement, go home, and sleep like a baby. You did all you could for your attacker, and he was the one that made the final decision to kill himself.”

Allegorical Heroes by José Quintero
Batman, Superman, and Spidey take on legendary figures of mythology in this set from José, linking them to the original superheroes of the classical eras and while the masks and use of spandex as defensive fashion may have been a slight deviation from the past, the spirit has always remained constant.

get some knowledge.
everyone should read “Gun Guys : a road trip” by Dan Baum. It is a fantastic look at the gun culture of america and all of its facets. It is written from neutral ground and would be a great way for non gun owners to possibly understand the love us gun owners have.
and “On Killing” by Lt Col Dave Grossman. this little gem is and in-depth look at the effects of combat and specifically the phycological toll that comes with taking another humans life. I talks a lot about PTSD and how to prevent/treat it, and at the end it has a couple very revealing looks at the effects of modern media on children and how it may or may not be linked to violence. The section on Vietnam Vets and how they were treated almost brought me to tears.
Gun crime has plunged in the United States since its peak in the middle of the 1990s, including gun killings, assaults, robberies and other crimes, two new studies of government data show.
Yet few Americans are aware of the dramatic drop, and more than half believe gun crime has risen,…
hey, didn’t the the drop in gun violence happen right about the time that the last “assault weapon” ban ended??? seriously though, americans are doing just fine with their guns so far and probably dont need to be baby sat by the government. The only thing i can advocate is possibly encouraging gun owners to report when their guns are stolen.
