Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

McDonald's must pay obese employee $17,500
Quote:
SAO PAULO — A Brazilian court ruled this week that McDonald's must pay a former franchise manager $17,500 because he gained 65 pounds while working there for a dozen years.
The 32-year-old man said he felt forced to sample the food each day to ensure quality standards remained high, because McDonald's hired "mystery clients" to randomly visit restaurants and report on the food, service and cleanliness.

Sad that people no longer have to take responsibility for their own actions.

How sad is that...and that BS verdict wasn't even HERE. Guess we can't shake our heads and say Only in America. I hope McDonalds contests the decision, and wins...then stops feeding their employees, as a result.

What was it.... 3 or 4 years ago that the fat kid sued McDonalds because he stopped by there on the way home from school every day and got a couple big macs. It was their fault he was fat... and I think he won.
**shakes head**
This country is going to hell.

Actually, I had workers at SerpenCo sign liability waivers just for that very reason. And I think I had something similar in my FINE PRINT page as well for customers.
Hmmm, I guess I can sue everyone here who ever gave me a headache, aggravation, stress, or disgust..... Darn, I should have saved all the receipts for Excedrin over the years to show actual damages. But I guess I will be willing to settle out of court with everyone who chooses to pay for paid membership subscriptions, however. No need to get attorneys involved unless you all fail to meet my proposed settlement agreement.....
