So now what, will this become a safety standard of the industry that
props should have guards?


A guy jumped in the water behind a boat with a running motor. The
driver of the boat puts the boat in reverse, and hits the guy with the
prop.

The boat manufacturer has to pay.

That's so screwed up it's almost unbelievable. Almost.



A president and his vice president lie about WMDs, and tens of thousands
of people paid the price with their lives and pocketbooks.

That's so screwed up it is unbelievable.

Here's a secret for you...I don't give a damn about what passes for
thought in your pea-sized brain. BTW, it's spring here. When are you
planning to make your promised visit here to engage in criminal assault
and home invasion?

Please show where I ever said I was going to criminally assault
anyone. Then please show where I said I was going to do a home
invasion. See you in a few weeks, but please answer these allegations
of yours first.

The blame is partly with the insurance industry. They have frequently
taken the short sighted view that it is cheaper to settle some of
these claims than it is to fight them. That's probably true for any
one case but the long term effect is to set expensive precedents.

Yep. But also begets higher rates and more profit.

Mystifies me how they could lose this case. Even dumb as nails jury
can't be this stupid.

Brunswick shoul counter sue the driver and the swimer. Make their lives
hell.

I think competance has something to do with it. Minimum reading skills,
college or university...

Would not want to be a innocent defendant facing a jury that could only
think of fried chicken and your skin color (either way).

Why don't we have a literacy test at the polling place. How about a poll tax
to ensure they are true capitalists. Or, how about you can only vote if
you're a landowner.

I guess all the voters who elected Mr. Obama were only thinking about his
skin color (the black voters), since the Republican party has made such
great strides in race relations of late.
