I used to work at a McDonalds and was still in touch with co-workers after we quit. As one of them pointed out, most of the people who bought McD’s coffee did so BECAUSE it was so hot.

They knew it and they liked it that way; that’s why they bought it.

That said, putting a hot cup of coffee between your legs to hold it was not the brightest idea going, even if the coffee wasn’t so hot. She would have gotten burned by any coffee hot enough to drink until it was too cool to be palatable. She spilled it on herself. IMO, she should not have gotten a settlement.

Back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Lets not forget who started this fight

"It's time to prepare for the next wave of antis to come ashore. After a hiatus of a couple years, I rejoined the forums at Freerepublic.com. I had been a member there since around 2004 on this conservative political forum, but I asked the moderators there to delete my account in protest after someone posted some of the temple stuff up there. The Christian "Taliban" that dominates the right wing of the Republican party was having hissy-fits because they thought Mitt Romney was going to get nominated. The place is still a hotbed for anti-Mormons and rarely does anything appear there about the Church that doesn't send them into paroxysms.

snip

Well, I rejoined the FR forums again and I posted two replies under topics that had to do with the "Big Love" episode and another about a Sacramento LDS Genealogy library that's helping African-Americans find their roots. I've reset the privacy settings for our site here to make it fully public for the time being. That will permit people to follow links here and read the linked articles without having to join. I prefer to have people join the site and the privacy settings are normally set to have them see the front main page, but not the rest. I'll probably set it back in a week or so, but we'll see how it goes.

Anyways, I figured I'd tell you guys because we will probably get a big influx of antis for a brief period. It might get lively around here because I just kicked a hornet's nest.

Well all you anti Mitt folks, welcome to the Christian "Taliban". Hate speech, your name is greg west.

I’m not an idiot. I can grasp it quite well. Their coffee was way too hot and she’s not the only one who’s been burned by it. McDonald’s knew that and still didn’t stop brewing it that hot until they lost this case.

I don’t know what that site is or who started it but I am disappointed that someone would think practcing LDS would behave like the anti mainstream.

And just what do you MEAN by the comment behave like the "anti mainstream" restornu?

The "antis" of FR engage in open debate by providing information directly from LDS official websites, news sources and personal experience with the mormon church.

There is no need for the "antis" to sneak around and set up websites to try and disrupt FreeRepublic.

We debate on "open" threads and have no need to hide behind closed "devotional" or "caucus" threads.

This is not the first time that those who post rebuttal to mormon proselytizing on FR have been attacked with threats of donations to FR being withheld.

As this thread shows

I suggest, restornu, that before you make your claim that "practicing LDS wouldn't behave in this manner" that you do a survey of your fellow FReeper mormons.

“That brings up the point the this use to be just a political site. The religious seem to have started taking over. . “

I submit that there is no such thing as “just political.” Our religion informs our political views. As such, it’s going to come up from time to time.

Dear Jim Rob, Be of good cheer, millions of people have visited and posted on Free Republic and millions more will in the future. This web site is there premiere conservative web site on the Internet, therefore it is a target for those who want to curtail access to the truth and to conservative principles.

The reason why you and your web site are being attacked is because this web site stands for the TRUTH. Some people like the person in question do not want the truth, because THEY HAVE AN AGENDA (yes I am yelling). For the individual in question, their agenda is to proclaim the message that all other Christian churches and denominations are totally apostate and the so-called "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints" is the only true church on earth proclaiming the only "true gospel" that was supposedly exclusively given to Joseph Smith. According to the Mormon church, all other gospels, churches and denominations are false and in order to be saved, one must become a Mormon. That is what Mormons believe and teach and that is exactly where this individual is coming from. He and a number of other Mormons are primarily using Free Republic as a soap box for proselytizing. Free Republic does NOT push this agenda and many theologically astute individuals on FR have merely proclaimed the truth regarding Mormon doctrine with the result that this individual and a number of other disgruntled Mormons have taken offense and want to shut you and Free Republic up.

Jim Rob, multitudes of conservatives are indebted to you and your vision regarding FR. We will continue to stand by and with you in our support. Do not be discouraged, this individual and group have made you a target and attacked FR precisely because of your unwavering pursuit of the truth and men do not want the truth when it interferes with their agendas. Hang tough, keep up the good fight, thank you for Free Republic and never forget this:

You are not alone!

Well, I’m glad she DID get a settlement. It will never pay for the pain she suffered. Many people do the same thing with their coffee. It’s thoughtless, but until something like this happens to someone else, you don’t think of it as being a big deal.

I still don't understand it. Except the faction of the Moderate GOP, that I get, and do not support it.
