    or begin for that matter

    Looking over the Recent Law Suits etc. [Fat People Suing McDonalds]
    Where does Personal Responsibility fit into things

    If you follow the PRECEDENT of the tobacco LawSuits
    These folx *should* win. [I'm sure they can make a study
    showing burgers are addictive . . but .. . i digress]

    If we say these fat people are responsibile. . . .
    why is running con games illegal. . i mean if someone that
    gullible. . . . ..

    I'm not sure what kind of responses I'm seeking
    I just want to know. . . how Responsible do we expect
    a person to be for themselves. . . cause right not in this
    country i'm not sure where that is.

    I know I cannot say . . she was raped. .
    she should not have put her self in that position
    same with murders etc.

    But . . .

    Tobacco didn't lose because it was addictive. The reason Tobacco lost was that they committed fraud by hiding research and lying about it. As far as we know, fast food has done nothing of this sort.
