Remember that news story about the old lady who got burned by hot McDonald's coffee? Was it indicative of a dangerous trend in killer fast food coffee or was it a fairly isolated incident blown out of proportion because some people like doing that?

I doubt don't that what you mentioned has happened before. I just think it's a mistake to see it as a general consensus of how all or even the majority of college age people think. You know the banned book list? Yeah, the books on it still exist, they're still being read, and most of them are in no danger of falling into obscurity even though some people think they're "a problem".

Since you mention it, it's always worth pointing out that the woman in question was pretty justified in her suit.

Yup. That's why I used it, it's an isolated example that very few people know much about and what they've heard is misleadingly alarmist.

The coffee thing was the former, and McD's own lawyers had been warning them they were cruising for a lawsuit if they didn't make changes.. TL;DR they didn't and when someone got third degree burns because of the problems they they had to pay out. Do the fucking reading, man.

I think you should probably read a little more closely yourself. I'm not arguing that scalding hot coffee isn't dangerous, I'm pointing out that dangerous incidents =/= a scary nationwide fear epidemic that should have everyone trembling in their boots.

except the only context in which the hot coffee incident is ever mentioned as an example of how ~crazy litigious~ everyone is nowadays in our ~PC~ society

nyart

That or an example of ~typical wacky suing~!

Just because most people are ignorant about what happened doesn't mean everyone is.
