Win 80 million for being a moron

Just make sure you find a jury even dumber than you are.

Why is he a moron though?

[DMN]

Why is he a moron though?

He's a moron because he thinks an empirically tested non-carcinogen caused his cancer.

[Izmael]

I've been spraying glyphosate on the weeds in my country house garden for years.

Couple years ago I took all forms of glyphosate I had in my posession and got rid of it. I might be a moron as well, but the amount of local farmers I know who are living with or dying from cancer motivated my decision.

They all use or used glyphosate massively for decades.

Without even starting to consider all the rumours about Monstano paying scientists to lie about the dangers of the product, remember that the science evolves.

Asbestos, radioactivity, lead, DDT and smoking tobacco were not deemed dangerous before the science established the contrary.

[DMN]

People are dying of cancer because we've been extending the human lifepsan for so long by beating all the other things that would normally kill us.

[Izmael]

Absolutely. People now live longer because medicine progressed immensely, and because we discovered that some stuff is dangerous for humans, namely:
- Tobacco
- Asbestos
- Lead
- Mercury
- PM25 / PM10
- Aluminium
- Trans fats
- Glyphosate
- etc etc

By knowing it, and acting accordingly, our lifespan got extended.

Nice, there's a lot of money for you in asbestos removal and TCE/PCB disposal. Don't waste time wearing protective gear

I use my glychophoshate responsibly and in moderation.

Also phosphates are usually radioactive isotopes lol.

I keep getting called Alex Jones here on the forums. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I consider myself more of a super liberal left-wing close-to socialist.

Probably a result of being a vapid, shit tier poster. Just a guess.

I was going to write "Maybe I'm just putting my finger on the weak spots". But I realized I'd then srsly sound like Alex Jones.

Caring what certain people on this forum think of you. That's that's what you are doing wrong.

“People don’t want to live at home alone posting inflammatory commentary towards trannies and grow lettuce.”

Shocking assertion Mario

Nuke Florida

[Caldwin]

It seems like everything causes cancer. Every time I turn around, there is something else causing cancer.


Nuke Florida

What has Florida done to you?

[Tethler]

This thread gave me cancer. Thanks Obama.

[clevergirl]

Everything that causes cancer is 100% optional

in America we have 100% Freedom

you can grow your own plants with wellwater and natural fertilizer

you can raise your own chickens for eggs ( and not feed them genetically modified corn )

you can compost and learn to make your own fertilizer with animals

you can live in the country areas with clean air and do things like ride a bike here and there

Most people just choose the cancerous options because they are easy

Yet you choose the super gay option.

It will be 81°F here and sunny today. Sad thing is that I will not get out until the UV index is high. So I will spend my day inside doing housework.

[America]

In case you are sensing anxious, stay away from superficial inhaling. Consuming brief, short breaths may cause your heart to conquer quicker, and will consequently exasperate the emotions pressure gives. The muscles may also tighten up, more resulting in your whole body to truly feel stressed out. Try deep breathing rather, as it can have a lot more positive results.

[clevergirl]

I hold my breath a lot.

80 million for being a dumb fuck? Crazy you say? these moron jurors say "hold my beer" and award 2 fucking billion to 2 fucking con artists.

[azeth]

I don't know how you could even have an opinion on whether or not it does or does not cause cancer. Do you have a medical background? Have you studied the products?

It's like if I asked you which type of fuel is best suited to launch Falcon X... like how could you even have an opinion on the subject? Are you an astrophysicist, a chemist?

You don't need to have a stance on everything - especially things that you know literally nothing about.

All you need is 1. minimal science background 2.not be a moron. There are these magical things called "studies" which you can read if you can handle those pre-reqs.

I feel this way because con artistrs, including many trial lawyers, need to be rooted out of society. All they do is steal from people, and you and I pick up the tab. Maybe you should just start thinking -- at all-- and feeling less.

It's all fun and games until the day you have to go to court for something and you have a jury full of moutbreathers who couldn't pass a grade school reading/science/math test.

Good thing juries arent scientists or we would be totally screwed. That fact that a jury of randos got to make the decision and not a scientific review board is just sad though

This I agree with in a sense, regardless of where either of us fall on the political spectrum.

The jury of peers is an incredible system in America, but I'm not sure if a jury of even average to above average intelligence people are equipped to - again - even have an opinion on this subject, let alone make a decision.

Constitution makes no distinction for who composes a jury other than they be peers.

Not a thing, but this sort of shit carries over to pharmaceuticals and thngs like medical malpractice. Everyone else foots the bill for these con men and their retard jury enablers. You remember John edwards? made an absolute fortune suing doctors who did nothing wrong because they could find dumb enough juries.

If you don't bitch about shit like this you have no right to bitch about the cost of healthcare or the price of drugs.

[Tethler]

Finding the right pack of morons only adjusts the slider for how hard you need to work to convince them.

They should tax him at 70% for everything past the first 250k.

Then, next year they should tax all of his assets at 70%. With a 70% annual siphon we can bleed this rich motherfucker dry in 3 years!

Muh wealth inequality.

We need roads! Do you guys like sewers? How about the fire department? And schools!

He can just get cancer any time he needs a little extra money.

Corporations are owned just like businesses are owned. And likewise the owners, co-owners, and partners of that business can do what they want with their money.

the pothole will be privatized and you'll need to pay a monthly $5 subscription to keep it filled, or be sued.

You are pretty awful at hypotheticals. If it was privatized he could sue them for not filling it.

or companies will do it completely free in an attempt at viral marketing (https://www.pavingforpizza.com/)
