Another Lawsuit

Remove all ads!

I think Tal should start a international lawsuit against the school and the mother; for $3 million USD. For emotional suffering inflicted during the discussion on his forum.

*IMAGINE* what kind of bandwidth he could afford after that little donation.

OC-48?

 

ej, Great Idea!

But Tal should sue the school for 1.5 mil, because of the jerk of a teacher, and the Mom for 1.5 for her stupidity over taking her kid out. That away the school is out 3mil, and the Mom is back where she started, so she will have to move somewhere else to put her kid in a different district!

 

The truly immoral part of this is that she is suing the school district... So they might end up paying insane amounts of money for attourneys and possibly also for a settlement. I mean, if you want to milk McDonalds, I can in some way relate, but public schools? That's kind of evil, taking money from the needy children and all..

 

Heh, ej, he'd probably win that lawsuit too. Since when are schools child shelters? I dislike the idea of milking anyone for that kind of money. That's the problem with America, nobody is willing to work for their money.

 

Rastor, your uninformed, sweeping generalizations are beginning to piss me off. How the hell can you say

Once again, you are wrong.

Hmmmm,
To all those who are confused as to who i am, im Sephiroth_2, renowned for typos, and other random swearin and sh**.

I personally vbelieve, that someone, somewhere, is the great great great grandson (with only a few mre greats) and hes sitting there thinking, when my Great(x78) Granpappy wrote that, it was just fer a laugh, lol

SUCKERS!

(as you can tel, im not religious, but im not prejudiced either, i hae everyone the same)

 

SlimShogun, maybe *you* are, and maybe *I* am, but I have seen far too many people milking the system to not be convinced that the laziness of Americans is going to end up being our downfall.

Anyway, if you don't like the posts, don't read them. It's real simple.

Rest assured, that I have formed my own opinions about the quality of life in our nation. I am not attempting to influence yours and I encourage you to disagree with them if you feel otherwise. Please do not get all emotional over it.

A couple of points here:

The point of the assignment was not to get a response. The point was to write a letter.

Also, the mother is suing to make a point. Suing for $15 does not make a point. Suing for $1.5 million makes a point. If the school district does not want to pay it, then it can change its policies. Suing for $1.5 million also makes it national news, brings attention to your cause, and encourages other school districts not to make the same mistake.

It's not a matter of taking money from public schools, because all they'd have to do is allow a kid to send a letter to Jesus. Big freakin' deal. Instead, the school district decided to take an idiotic moral stand. The bureaucrats deserve to get sued for far more than $1.5 million.

You're correct, Rastor. I must've forgot my Ritalin/Motrin/Children's Tylenol/Birth control pill when I wrote that post, because I *sure* was emotional! I also made a completely incorrect statement about 270 million+ people. Oh wait, that was you! It's probably because of my rampant emotions. Oh and if you don't like this post, please don't read it.

 

Actually, Shralp, suing for $15 WOULD make a point. And that point would be saying "I'm not greedy, I just think this is wrong". The case is, by its nature, such that it will get national attention. Anything that exposes the conflict between education and religion is newsworthy these days, and rightly so.

I do think that this woman is trying to make a buck here. That doesn't mean that she doesn't feel strongly about this, but I do believe that greed has a part in it.

Also, I'm unsure about this, but what would happen if the school would just about now change their mind, and say, "fine, send in that letter"? Would the lawsuit also disappear? I'm not so sure.

 

No, it wouldn't. The school district would pay the $15. End of story. It dies and goes away. And they then continue their same policies, which is exactly what the mother is trying to change.

I do not know if she's a greedy person or not. I've never met her. But I do know that what she is doing is what one must do in order to change the system.

 

Completely incorrect, eh? As of April 1, 2000 the population of the United States was 281,421,906. Since you're the type that always wants proof, here it is: http://www.census.gov/main/www/cen2000.html . But, this is completely

I never thought of the idea that the mother was attempting to make a political statement. I do agree that $15 is not going to prove anything. $1.5M is a bit excessive though, simply to make a point.

Hey, Rastor! Do you know what 270 million+ means? IT MEANS MORE THAN TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY MILLION. That's why there's a + (plus) sign. A PLUS sign means more than.

Why dont she sue the teacher? If anyone made a mistake it was him/her. What really upsets me is that this gets any attention at all. Religion is a personal thing that should be kept to oneself. Sure a kid should be allowed to write a letter to his religious hero, but come ooooon, whats the big deal? Lets keep religoun in our homes shall we? And with people of same mind.

 

It sounded although you were saying that my estimate of 270 million+ people that I posted in another thread was wrong. My apologies.

 

Jesus may not personally respond, but the kid might get his letter published in that "Letters to Jesus" book that releases a new edition every year. That thing is a riot.

And if you think that the fact that the woman *suing* for 1.5 million dollars is ever going to *see* that amount, then you don't know much about the law. Shralp's absolutely right about that...anybody ever read the Constitution? I'm sure there's something in there about "petitioning the government for a redress of grievances"...or something to that effect.

Slim, you kill me. Keep it up.
Rastor: Take a pill.
