Topic : 03/06 Etiquette Dilemmas

I know that I cannot be the only one out there that finds it convenient that Kayla is not ruling out the option of suing Southwest. Yes, she was offended and I am sure that she felt bad. I don't deny that. To me it doesn't matter what she wore on the plane. I know that apologies don't always make things better but they go a long way to start healing a wound.

In my opinion the reason Kayla wants money out of Southwest is to pay for the "surgery" she had that led her to get on the plane in the first place. I am sure we can all guess what kind of surgery she had.

I'm sorry you need to have it explained to you.

Taste to someone like Kyla is wearing a dress or skirt that doesn't show your panties when you sit down.

I think that when "freedom" is used/abused to try and justify a Hootters Girl wearing an inappropriate skirt in a public place for all to see all she has to offer then you've taken "political correctness" too far - Freedom is something like freedom of religion or the freedom not to be forced to wear a prohibitive veil. Freedom is not about the "right" to show your patootie on a public airline for one and all to gander at.

Interesting (non) answer to my question.

We live in a litigation happy society. When there is a lawsuit, for whatever reason, who do you really think foots the bill when the defendant has to pay up? You didn't answer my question. You obviously have no idea.

Here is an example. A doctor is sued for malpractice. He loses. Maybe he is really guilty, maybe he isn't. His insurance company now has to pay the plaintiff. In turn his insurance rates go up, so he has to raise his fees to make up the difference. The patients are the ones who end up paying for the lawsuit.

We are told all of the time on the news that health insurance is so high because of malpractice suits. Why do you think they finally put a $250,000 cap on them? Because it was so out of control in this "sue happy" society.

How much do you pay for auto insurance? Are you aware that you pay more to cover the losses when some uninsured driver causes an accident with a car driven by another driver who is a customer of your insurance company? Where do you think the money comes from to pay to the insured driver? Higher rates for all of the other cusotmers of your insurance company.

The cost of paying out in a lawsuit is always passed on to the consumer by the corporation.

So answer my original question.

Where do you think the money comes from to pay for these lawsuits?
