You do realize that the $250,000 does not include what the healthcare will cost. It is exactly as you say: Punitive damages - ie what society has deemed the suffering was worth.
Pretty much nothing can be substantiated and that's the problem. Some disgruntled patient that didn't get the Vicodin refill they wanted (to abuse) gets angry and slanders the doctor.

"Servants or Friends? - Another Look at God
http://www.pineknoll.org/graham/sof/index.html
An Introduction:
Some of the greatest cruelty has been perpetrated in the name of religion. Everything seems to depend on the kind of god people worship. Arbitrary, tyrannical gods tend to produce followers like themselves. Millions who see no sense in worshipping such a god, have simply turned away.
What kind of neighbors would a friendly god produce--a god who values nothing higher than freedom and individuality, a god who would rather treat his followers not as servants but as friends?
Servants or Friends? takes another look at the evidence. Is the God of the Bible a friendly person--eager to restore people's dignity and self-respect?
This has not been a hasty study. The book is based on 135 year-long trips through the Bible in company with thousands of people, young and old. On these trips through all sixty-six books, nothing is overlooked--including the "dark speech" and the most forbidding stories!
Questions and suggestions from the Bible readers in 118 different lands have contributed to the preparation of Servants or Friends?
Windows Vista is actually due in December of 2006. The article says next Christmas. Last I checked, the next Christmas we will celebrate is in 2005.
(Yes I understand the semantics of "next" and "this" - can be confusing to non english speakers and english speakers alike)
Not to mention the fact that I am unable to play some PC games from 1995 because although they run well on Windows 95, I can't get them to work on Windows XP even in emulator mode.
I concur. As much as I like the thought of watching movies in high-definition, I'm not going to put up with all this drm crap which is starting to make the original divx look pretty good.
I read recently that 20th Century Fox signed on with the blu-ray camp because they heard the DRM was much tougher to break. I'm pinning my hopes in hd-dvd winning out.
Indeed, it is heavily dependent upon brain tissue. This why it's vitally important to detect problems in vision as early as possible. If you wait until the kid is 5-10 years old, even if you correct the problem (removing congenital cataracts for instance), you will not correct their vision because of underdevelopment in the occipital cortex which remained unstimulated during the most important time period for its maturation. This is referred to as amblyopia.

Philips, Europe's biggest consumer electronics maker and among the three biggest TV makers worldwide, will not keep the technology to itself but has instead chosen to sell the new technology to any of its competitors.
As the native British population is quickly and surely being replaced by immigrants, largely from Muslim countries, rest assured the people of Great Britain won't have to surrender. The people of Great Britain will be largely composed of their Muslim enemies.
Do you know who it is watching you on those public cameras? I sure don't and I don't want the govt. being able to follow my every move just because I happen to be "in public".
"Palaeontologists have extracted soft, flexible structures that appear to be blood vessels from the bone of a Tyrannosaurus rex that died 68 million years ago."
Much like this is a trick to test the faith of evolutionists.
One does not have to be the first person to observe something for the term "discover" to be utilized.
Was the person who "discovered" Jerry Seinfeld his mom or an executive at NBC?
Definition Number One under dictionary.com for discover:
1. To notice or learn, especially by making an effort

And still the skeptics believe that chance rather than an intelligent Creator designed us.

I'm a little scared of an all-encompassing POS (piece of sh*t) system.
Let's just hurry up and let this thread get hijacked by the creationist haters.

What exactly is a "tube station"?
Wow! It's like you've known me my whole life.
"In the Soviet Union"? If you can't word the joke right, please leave it to us professionals.

"In Soviet Russia" not "In Mother Russia"

Did anyone catch the commercial for Kotex tampons and pads during the xbox360 show? How appropriate since that is exactly what the xbox360 looks like.
When he said "and now the future of gaming" and that hot blonde walked by I thought "she's the future of gaming? SWEET!"
Apparently every person on the planet who saw that was thinking the same thing as per Zonk's post. If you also thought that then respond to this post.
