Not necessarily true. There is a lawsuit with Sarah Lee (the cake people that nobody doesn't like). I think, if lawyers try it, and judges entertain the case instead of throwing it out of court........there will ALWAYS be these frivolous cases. What the hell is wrong with judges? Are they bored? I mean, come on........"Oh look at me......I am so (fat, cancer infected, burnt from coffee....etc.....) and I don't understand how this could happen. I deserve a plentiful amount of money so I might contemplate the reason that this happened to me (in the Bahama's, on my yacht)".

Past the age of maturity (18ish or so), one should have to take FULL responsible for his or her life choices and actions and stop blaming others for what they made a choice to do.

And, just a thought Shar.....but....I know that glandular problems and medication can cause one to gain weight (amoung a few reasons), but............your being the devil's advocate here can't quite convince me that McDonald's didn't do the right thing.....regardless of how the man earned his weight. One may call this obesity discrimination........But I say, fat or not....an employer has a right to hire and not hire whomever they please. This could have happened to a really skinny person too. Who's to say (without knowing the full reason for not hiring him) that it was his weight that got a NO? Might have been something else entirely. (Guess this was....point/counterpoint).......I knew I shoulda been on the debate team in school.
