All costs? Feel free to try and defend that statement.

As I actually said, the "insurance claims are.. a tiny piece of the

Ultimately yep, all costs will be passed on to the consumer. Take oil,
go ahead, slap a $90/barrel tax on oil and watch the pump prices double
or more.

A classic example was the massive judgement against the cigarette
companies. Shortly after that Altria posted record profits.

It is amazinig what business can do when they do not have an unknown
hanging over their head.


What unknown? Typical bull**** comment with no substance.



The unknown was what future lawsuits were coming down the poke. The
settlement blocked any future lawsuits so they knew what they were
dealing with and what price point they had to hit to continue being
profitable.


So, you believe that either there should never be a lawsuit against a
company (or an individual) or you believe that lawsuits should be
known about in advance?

Sounds like an interesting game you've got going with your crystal
ball.

Read up on the tobacco suits and get back to me.


So, you do believe that lawsuits (if any are allowed) should be known
in advance. Interesting.

Comeon sweet cheeks. You and Greg are ideologically the same. Kiss and
make up.

The settlement was with the attorneys general of the states involved
and specified that this was going to be the end of it.

I am sure there might be some individual who might try to take on
Altria after this but they would get ground up and spit out. The idea
that anyone on the planet has not seen the warning on the side of a
cigarette pack is ludicrous.


Which has nothing to do with fantasy that lawsuits should be known
about in advance.

I suppose you consider 12 year olds cognizant of the dangers of cigar
smoke also. Typical "libertarian" nonsense.

Bad example. Any 12 year old with half a brain knows the use of tobacco
is harmful to your health.

How many suits have there been since the settlement?

What difference does that make? Tell me about how many lawsuits are
known about in advance. I notice you keep avoiding telling me.

I suppose you consider 12 year olds cognizant of the dangers of cigar
smoke also. Typical "libertarian" nonsense.

12 year olds are prohibited by law from smoking.

As I said, the tobacco companies don't seem to care. Also, does this
mean you believe in certain gov't intrusion? I'm shocked!


You're shocked at Greg doing a flippy floppy? Why? He has to in order to
stay opposed to you.


It is not necessary Plume will always disagree with anything I say.
That is why it is fun playing with her. I can usually get her arguing
with herself before it is over.


And, I usually get you to make up some false equivalent to justify and
untenable position...

Example:

Me: The stars are far away.
You: So is my cigar.
