I think its safe to say that anyone who has a MP3 player, discman, what-have-you.. has obvioulsy been to a concert.. concerts=loud decibles=hearing loss... anyone who works in a factory.. factories=hearing loss.... airports are loud.. they cause hearing loss so on and so forth....

IT HAPPENS.. turn down the ear phones.. if your enviroment is too loud to hear the sound.. maybe you should either
A) get and actual radio/cd/MP3 player boom box so its not right in your ear
or
B) Hold off on listening to your player until its quiet enough to make out the sound...

but above all.. ppl just need to stop bitching..
if its effecting your hearing.. stop using it.. its simple

I agree! People love to take advantage and get easy $. Sometimes I agree with the idea of removing all warning labels and letting the problem solve itself.

In reference to the hot coffee, Are you talking about the McDonalds lawsuit? I would have agreed with you about 72 hours ago but after learning the following about the incident I don't know .. :

quote:

Here are a few important facts about the McDonalds case: 1. McDonalds coffee was held at temperatures at 180 degrees, 40-50 degrees higher than normal coffee, which is hot enough to produce a 3rd degree burn in as little as two seconds. 2. The plaintiff, a 79-year old woman, spent eight days in the hospital recieving skin grafts for 3rd degree burns covering 6% of her body. 3. There were 700 similar incidents, including some as serious as the plaintiff's. 4. She only asked for a $20,000 settlement; McDonalds refused. 5. The actual compensatory award was $200,000, the other $2.7 million (2 days of McD coffee sales) was punishment for McDonalds' "reckless, callous and willful" conduct. This was later reduced to only $480,000. 6. No one, NO ONE else in that town or the surrounding area sold coffee anywhere NEAR that hot. 7. If you spilt coffee on you from a restraunt or that you made yourself you would probably not even manage FIRST DEGREE burns These were THIRD degree burns, the kind your more used to seeing from actual fires and not boiling water. 8. The city AND state had filed health warnings with McDonalds due to the complaints, which McDonalds prompty ignored. 9. The lady inquestion only sued after McDonalds refused to cover her health expenses. (Which they HAD done in the previous two instances in this state.) 10. A company memo existed that flat out said that it would be cheaper and better marketing slogun to be able to say they had the "Hottest Coffee" and pay off any lawsuits that would happen from burn victims then to lower the tempurature and lose the possibility of lording it over their competitors. 11. And finally it was not the defendant who sued for millions, it was the jury who awarded it becuase it was "unspecified" and the jury specifically said almost 3million was picked because it was the sales for one days worth of coffee at McDonalds and the jury thought that they needed to prove the company memo wrong.

what next... people who stand infront of the speakers at a club all nite, every weekend, suing the club?

What?
