    You have to stop buying into the corporate America propoganda that has been making McDonald's out to be a martyr in this. They are every bit the evil empire as Microsoft

    It is not "propaganda": it is fact, just looking at the facts of the coffee, the cases, and the consumption. McDonald's is a martyr as is anyone who is made by the mis-actions of a court to give someone money they are NOT entitled to.

    All this 80 something old grandmother wanted was $800 for her medical bills

    She had the gall to ask those who were not responsible to pay them. And file a frivolous suit when they refused. She belongs in jail for her greed and theft.

    That is hardly frivolous. She didn't do anything stupid with the coffee

    It is all frivolous. She spilled it on her genitals.

    She merely opened the coffee to add cream and sugar when it spilled

    Gotta love it. The coffee spilled ITSELF. She didn't do it. Did the evil corporation give her a jumping cup?

    No they haven't! Perhaps you are conflating people demonstrating about the Israeli/US invasion of Palestine, with its subsequent human rights abuses, murder, torture, imprisonment without trial etc etc with people demonstrating against Judaism. I'd be interested to see an example of the latter, but I put it to you that you will not be able to do so, because you are talking out of your arse.
