People are insane. Sometimes you just have to concede to the fact that you have to put up with other people's bad habits from time to time.
I live in a condo, and our next-door neighbors always smoke in their patio, and the smoke drifts up through my window, so I have to shut it. It's annoying particularly when it's warm. But I wouldn't even conceive of sueing someone for something like that.
yeah i thought that this was pitful…this story reminded of the the mcdonalds' case when a woman sued mcdonalds for accidnetly spilling her own HOT coffee on her pants for aprox. i think 100,000 dollars but i'm not sure. oh and she won the 100,000!
thats just silly thats not something you go to court over especialy not since she seemed to be making concessions as to try and avoid pissing him off.
ah well its probably not gonna pass anyhow, its not america you know you cant just sue anybody over some trivial shit and get rich in sweden

AWESOME WINNERY
Not saying that the kid deserved it but the thought of an angry spectator flipping out and rushing onto a field filled with little children and going all Bruce Lee on one's ass is hilarious.
A 42 year old man karate kicking a 8 year old over a soccer game isn't "winnery" its pathetic.

It's not but I always wanted a middle aged man to leap onto a soccer field and flying kick a small child. It's something I always giggle about.
"BRUCE LEEEEEEEEEEEE CHILD ABUSE KIIIIIIIIIICK!"
I hope he screamed that when he did that.
Cochise is right, it is pathetic. It's also pathetic to find any amusement in that.

Heard about that on the news. Totally disgusting. To attack a 101 year old woman and steal her money is one thing. To attack a 101 year old woman, steal her money, then attack her again for no reason is something a whole lot worse. I hope he gets beaten to a bloody pulp for this.
ok i thought this was rather sad…more like pathetic... i wasn't sure if i should make a seperate thread because i thought this is sort of random..but not really
A soldier honoured for his military valour in Afghanistan is wondering why strangers attacked and beat him in his hometown bar this past weekend.
"This wasn't two guys on the ice dropping gloves and going, 'OK, let's go'," Master Cpl. Collin Fitzgerald told CTV Ottawa on Tuesday.
"This was an attack -- a sneak attack. To blindside a guy ... and hit him with an object, there's something wrong."
Fitzgerald is well known in Morrisburg, Ont., a small town about an hour's drive south of Ottawa.
He says he'd been in the bar only about 20 minutes late Friday, visiting with a childhood friend who introduced him to people as a war hero, when he was suddenly struck from behind with some type of object. Four men jumped him and began beating on him.
"They were saying 'What kind of hero are you now?'," Fitzgerald's mother Arlene told CTV News. Bystanders pulled the attackers off Fitzgerald and his friends drove him to hospital.
"If it was true that they said that, then they're ignorant," Fitzgerald said.
The weapons instructor at CFB Trenton, recognized by Gov. Gen. Michaelle Jean on Feb. 19 for braving enemy fire in Afghanistan, had his foot broken in three places and needed 10 stitches to close a cut above his right eye.
Fitzgerald, 27, also suffered a broken nose and two black eyes in the Friday night attack.
"Whatever he hit me with, he could have easily taken out an eye," the soldier said. "What if he hit me in the throat? It could have been an artery." Fitzgerald is married, with a young family.
Decorated hero
He served eight months in Afghanistan. He was one of the first recipients of the Canadian Medal of Military Valour, "for outstanding selfless and valiant actions" carried out on May 24, 2006, during an enemy ambush "involving intense, accurate enemy fire."
According to the military, Fitzgerald "repeatedly exposed himself to enemy fire by entering and re-entering a burning platoon vehicle and successfully driving it off the roadway, permitting the remaining vehicles trapped in the enemy zone to break free."
"Collin was safer fighting the Taliban. At least he saw the enemy coming, or knew the enemy was there," said his mother. "They are just total cowards, nothing but snakes," said Gerald, Collin's father.
Fitzgerald will need at least a month to recover from his injuries. Several of his army buddies are still recovering from injuries suffered in Afghanistan.
"They don't realize how good we have it here in Canada and what we're trying to help the Afghan people have," he said of his attackers.
Ontario Provincial Police have arrested 21-year-old Travis Baldwin, a Morrisburg resident and hockey player, and charged him with aggravated assault. An investigation is ongoing.
Baldwin will appear in Morrisburg court on May 1. CTV Ottawa has learned he may be the only person criminally charged in connection with the incident.

ST. PAUL, Minnesota (AP) – A 17-year-old girl who spent weeks looking for her missing dog unwrapped a box left on her doorstep and found the pet's severed head inside, authorities said.
Homicide investigators were looking into the case because of the "implied" terroristic threat, St. Paul Police Sgt. Jim Gray said. The Humane Society of the United States said Wednesday it was offering a reward of up to $2,500 for information leading to an arrest and conviction."This was extraordinarily heinous," said Dale Bartlett, the Humane Society's deputy manager for animal cruelty issues. "I deal with hundreds and hundreds of cruelty cases each year. When I read about this case, it took my breath away. It's horrible."
After Crystal Brown's 4-year-old Australian shepherd mix, Chevy, wandered away last month, she put up "missing" posters in her neighborhood and went door to door looking for him. She called the St. Paul animal shelter and rode the bus there several times.
"I felt empty," Crystal told the Star Tribune of Minneapolis. "I couldn't talk to anyone. He was my dog. It was just me and him. ... I told him everything and he never shared any of my secrets."
Two weeks ago, a gift-wrapped box was left at the house Crystal shares with her grandmother. The box had batteries on top, and a note that said "Congratulations Crystal. This side up. Batteries included."
Crystal opened the box and found her dog's head inside. The box also contained Valentine's Day candy.
Crystal screamed when she saw her dog's face.
"She was just hysterical," said Crystal's grandmother, Shirley Brown. "She was screaming. She said, 'Grandma, it's my dog's head!'
"I said, 'no it can't be!"'
Authorities say the case is an isolated incident and the suspect likely knew the family. A motive is unclear.
"This was so cruel," Crystal said. "This is one sick, twisted person."
She now has a new puppy, another Australian shepherd. She's named it Diesel. "Hopefully, he'll be my best friend," Crystal said.
Fucking lowlife scumbag the guy who did it. I got genuinely pissed reading this.
For once, I agree with you. That is sick. Disgusting. I'm going to gag. What a lowly worm this person is.
of please you've agreed with Al more than once
but I agree that story makes me more and more angry the more I read
Damn. Just damn. Wow that is sick.

And then there is the case that most troubles Cherry and leaders of the Texas NAACP, involving a 14-year-old black freshman, Shaquanda Cotton, who shoved a hall monitor at Paris High School in a dispute over entering the building before the school day had officially begun.
The youth had no prior arrest record, and the hall monitor–a 58-year-old teacher's aide--was not seriously injured. But Shaquanda was tried in March 2006 in the town's juvenile court, convicted of "assault on a public servant" and sentenced by Lamar County Judge Chuck Superville to prison for up to 7 years, until she turns 21.
okay…....7 years in jail for shoving someone aside and not even hurting them badly....0.o
Wow, that's almost as unreasonable as getting four years in jail for stealing bread.

9/11 remains used to fill pot holes.
9/11 remains fill potholes, worker claims
! BY THOMAS ZAMBITO
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER
! Saturday, March 24th 2007, 4:00 AM
! The pulverized remains of bodies from the World Trade Center disaster site were used by city workers to fill ruts and potholes, a city contractor says in a sworn affidavit filed yesterday in Manhattan Federal Court.
! Eric Beck says debris powders - known as fines - were put in a pothole-fill mixture by crews at the Fresh Kills landfill on Staten Island, where more than 1.65 million tons of World Trade Center debris were deposited after the Sept. 11 attacks.
! "I observed the New York City Department of Sanitation taking these fines from the conveyor belts of our machines, loading it onto tractors and using it to pave roads and fill in potholes, dips and ruts," Eric Beck said.
Beck was the senior supervisor for Taylor Recycling, a private contractor hired to sift through debris trucked to Fresh Kills after the trade center attacks. Before the arrival of Taylor's equipment at Fresh Kills in October 2001, the debris was sifted manually by workers using rakes and shovels.
Beck's affidavit was filed by lawyers for the families of 9/11 victims who are suing the city in hopes of creating a formal burial place for debris that they say contains human remains.
! "It's devastating," Norman Siegel, an attorney representing the families, said of Beck's statement. "When the 9/11 families found about this, they were wiped out."
! The families argue that the cleanup was hurried and slipshod, with the result that more than 400,000 tons of debris weren't properly combed for human remains.
! The city recently asked Manhattan Federal Judge Alvin Hellerstein to dismiss the lawsuit, and Mayor Bloomberg has said he would like to turn the garbage dump into a "beautiful park."
! In his first few months on the job, Beck said Taylor's mechanical sifters found 2,000 bones per day. He recalled finding "bones, fingers, skulls, feet and hands" as well as a man's chest and "the full body of a man dressed in a suit." The remains were catalogued and turned over to the city, he said.
But Beck said he was pushed to sift the debris quickly, and that remains may have been missed.
! "I was constantly told … to move the job, to run the conveyor belts faster and to keep the tonnage up," Beck wrote.
Other affidavits support Siegel's claim that the sifting process was shoddy.
One comes from Theodore Feaser, the retired director of mechanical operations for the city Sanitation Department.
! "From my experience at Fresh Kills, I am absolutely convinced that if the City of New York unearthed, resifted and washed the debris at Fresh Kills ... it would find hundreds of human body parts and human remains," said Feaser, a 20-year veteran who supervised the recovery effort at Fresh Kills for the Sanitation Department.
Diane Horning, the president of WTC Families for Proper Burial, urged Hellerstein to allow the sifting to continue so that loved ones' remains will be found.
"There is no place to leave flowers," said Horning, whose son Matthew, an employee of Marsh and McLennan, was killed on Sept. 11, 2001. "There is no feeling of solace or closeness to your loved one."

double post since I can't edit my last post.
No one else sees those extremely asshole comments that are being made on that youtube clip. I bet everyone who made those comments wouldn't even dare saying that to a black persons face.
anonymous racists are the worst.

Jacken jack states it well. On the one side, anyone who uses that slang, has no right to critisize the teacher. If you use the F word, you can not critisize others for using it.
On the other hand, this guy is a teacher. He is suposed to set an example for the students. I don't care how many people use the F word, it is not acceptable in a prophesional setting. (well not acceptable at all to me, but that's another debate) And in the same respect, a profesional should not be using the N word, or it's slang, period.
I would have put that teacher on probation as well, I'm just saying, if he's gonna get punished for saying it, then everyone else should too. And I know others say it.
as for the posted comments about the video on youtube; wholey crap is that uncalled for!
Meh, somebody using Nigga/Nigger. Really isn't that offensive or a big deal. I'm pretty sure Blacks in the 60's wish the worse thing that could happen during a day is being called nigga from a non racist teacher.
Though I prefer the term Negro. since I think it sounds cooler then "nigga" AND its politically correct.
if the terms arn't offencive, then why did the kid make a complaint? why did the teacher get punished? and why did the media report it on the news?
if I said "kitty" no one would care.
I'm not one for long 5 paragraph posts so I'll just make it blunt. .
if the terms aren't offensive, then why did the kid make a complaint?
People are sensitive. Or maybe he just told people. Then told his parents and they put his ass on the news. (I wouldn't know what the kid was thinking)
why did the teacher get punished?
The schools are quick to punish teachers and please any angered parents.
and why did the media report it on the news?
The media eats this stuff up. Anything dealing with Race will draw in attention.
Wow Cochise, could'nt have said it any better myself. Pretty much summed up my thoughts.

what are you talking about its up to teachers to set good examples by allowing any language that kids want to use into the classroom and when the time is apporpriate using it themselves. Lol why are you so scared to say the words? Is fuck really that ingrained into the society that mere mention of it and other not-apporpriate words sends everyone into nerverous wrecks, by saying the F word, or the N word, your still saying the word just your saying in a weak cowardly way, and thats what frustrates me more than the fact that the teacher said it. (rascism isn't cool, but blame the rascist asshole not the word he decides to use.)
That and he was just probably teasing too. He was a smartass that's all. That and I am pretty sure that the black kid said nigga first, and all the kids in that class hate him and want him fired. That's why they probably said "I didn't hear him say nigga first."
Ok maybe a little suspension for the guy is good, but camp and him possibly getting fired. Come on people there is a difference between nigga and nigger (hence the signs in the video)
Really old video btw. I actually laughed at how he says it like "Nigga Please."
Yeah I realized it's pretty old considering his suspension was in January. Though yeah I laughed when he had the signs comparing them and when he said "Nigga please."
