![]() "Matt Whiting" wrote I see a nearly precise connection. The seller of alcohol knows that everyone who drinks it will be impaired to some degree. Most people are still legal to drive if tey only consum 1 drink over a period of 3o or 40 minutes. besides, the bartender does NOT know who is going to drive, or do something where the imparement could cause harm. The alcohol going out the door will impair the consumer every time, anyone. But an alcohol imparement will not cause any harm, if the consumer does not drive, or walk out into traffic. The seller has no way of knowing ther is any bad consequence possible. The seller of coffer doesn't know that someone will do something stupid like spill it on themselves. But all it will take is one spill to do great harm. A spill is possible for any person that walks out with coffee that hot. The big point is that the seller of the coffee has in his power the ability to make a safer product, and does not take the opportunity. There is some responsibility because of that fact. -- Jim in NC |

Legality doesn't matter. They are still IMPAIRED. McDonald's does NOT know who is going to put coffee between their legs and then spill it.

The seller has no way of knowing ther is any bad consequence possible. Hot coffee won't cause any harm if you don't spill it on yourself. The seller of coffer doesn't know that someone will do something stupid like spill it on themselves. But all it will take is one spill to do great harm. A spill is possible for any person that walks out with coffee that hot. And it takes only one drink to impair someone's judgment and motor skills enough to have a serious accident and kill someone. The big point is that the seller of the coffee has in his power the ability to make a safer product, and does not take the opportunity. There is some responsibility because of that fact. As does the seller of alcoholic drinks. Think O-Douls. There is no need to sell unsafe drinks that contain alcohol. Matt |

McDonalds are a blight upon the earth and everyone knows it. Thats why they gave that woman the money, to give them a black eye. Bertie |

I have no idea why you have such a hard on about this subject, and for my points, but your arguments have descended into the illogical and absurd. You will have to play with yourself, from here on out. I'm done with you, on this one. -- Jim in NC |

It was hard to keep up with you in regard to lack of logic, especially given my education and experience, but I was trying! :-) Matt |
