My mother went to go pick us up some burgers Saturday night at a local fast food place. Usually the place is always packed but she found it odd that the place had little to no customers.
So she gets home and wasn't feeling that well, but decided she was going to take a small bite out of her burger. I was sitting right next to her when she opened it up. She has a habit of doing that. When she opened it almost half of the meat patty was bitten off. It wasn't like it had fallen apart, because it literally had teeth marks on it and the other half was missing. Disgusted by it she put it in the fridge with the receipt in the bag (for some reason they threw the receipt in the middle of the fries rather than on the outside of the bag).
My question is, can there be a lawsuit against such things? I know if I were to bring it up to their attention they'd just apologize and either refund my money or give me a free meal, which I don't want. Mainly because if we let it go it'll just continue.

Just like the situation with his mistress he used tax payers money to provide protection for her. And not to mention his buddy who used the apartment deem for the 911 workers for his own personal use. How about not showing up for the 911 meetings where they had to asked him to leave. I heard he did not meet because it would have cut into his lucrative money he receives for giving speeches. Rudy has too much baggage to be president. I will love to hear your thoughts on this.

Pelosi opposes EPA clean air decision
WASHINGTON - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told the Environmental Protection Agency on Friday that Congress would closely scrutinize its decision to reject California's request to tighten rules on greenhouse gas emissions.
ADVERTISEMENT
Pelosi, D-Calif., said she strongly disagreed with the agency's rationale for the decision and would support an investigation by Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif. He is seeking all documents related to the state's request for a waiver to implement fuel efficiency rules for vehicles that it says will work faster than the federal government's.
"The actions of the EPA in denying the California request cannot help but raise serious questions about the support of the Bush administration for state efforts to safeguard the environment and the health of their residents," Pelosi wrote in a letter to EPA Administrator Stephen L. Johnson.
EPA's announcement Wednesday that it would bar California and at least 16 other states from regulating tailpipe emissions from new cars and trucks was swiftly criticized by state leaders and environmental groups. Several states have said they will appeal the decision.
Johnson said California's emissions limits were not needed because Congress approved energy legislation raising fuel efficiency standards nationwide to an average of 35 miles per gallon by 2020. California officials say their state's law was tougher and acted faster.
White House deputy press secretary Tony Fratto defended Johnson's decision Friday: "He made that based on what he thought was best for the nation in addressing this issue, and he pointed to the really significant policy changes that are going to come through from the energy bill that we signed last week."
"There's always a balance, and he (the president) does have a healthy respect for states' rights," Fratto added, "but these decisions need to be made in terms of what is best for the country."
It was the first time the agency had completely denied a Clean Air Act waiver request from California after granting more than 50. The state adopted tailpipe standards in 2004 that would have required car makers to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent in new cars and light trucks by 2016.
Under the Clean Air Act, California needed a waiver to put in place the rules, and other states could then adopt them, too.
Twelve other states — Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington — have adopted the standards. The governors of Arizona, Colorado, Florida and Utah have said they also plan to adopt them. The rules are under consideration in Iowa.

Are we winning the war in Iraq or are we being deceived by President Bush
If you read a recent statement by Barry McCaffrey, a retired Army general who works as a consultant and makes frequent trips to Iraq, returned in mid-December from a week-long trip to Iraq and Kuwait. He was critical of the execution of the war under Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld but sees positive signs now, despite strains on the force. He has repeatedly called for a larger Army, which he says should be 800,000-strong.
The Army is expected to grow to 547,000 soldiers by 2010, and Casey has left the door open for an even bigger increase beyond that.
So, has the war in Iraq ended as the Neocons have been saying, here, in this forum?
Has the Iraq War ended as President Bush has claimed, with the entry of US troops and the pulling down of Saddam's forces, in 2003?
Lastly, if any Democrat or Republican is elected, will they continue Bush's policies and war or will they end this illegal and unnecessary war?

I stole $1.257.86 worth of items from Kmart while i was employed there. When i was caught, my LP told me whatever items i returned, would be taken off the the cost of restitution. Not including the $200.00 maximum damages fee. i returned all items to the store, and i just received the restitution bill, and it said i owe $1.457.86. i dont understand this seeing as my LP told me the items i returned would be taken off the cost.

for every dollar of income tax the govt collects, lets only collect 25 cents from now on. That will generate so much revenue that we will be giddy over the humongous surpluses and we will have more money to throw at programs like be able to have a better militarty, better roads, better schools, better everything......

Earlier this afternoon, I played a game of pick-up hockey on a frozen pond with a bunch of kids I didn’t know. During the game, one of the opposing team’s players was skating up ice with his head down and I laid into him with my shoulder. The play resumed after the hit and I started to follow the play, when all of a sudden one of my teammates (presumably the injured player’s friend) sucker-punched me. I fell to the ice and then grappled with the guy for a while. Meanwhile, the player I hit was still down on the ice, lying unconscious. Being the nice guy that I am, I didn’t flee the scene. Rather, I stayed there to see if the injured player would regain consciousness. Bad move.

Let's use some peer pressure to stop drivers from driving vehicles that use more fossil fuel than necessary, such as SUVs in cities. If many people start honking at these vehicles, it will become unpleasant to drive them. How can I reach out across the nation to unite drivers of appropriately-sized vehicles in this art movement/social experiment?
