oportunistic people bug me, espescially when they hide behind things like religion, and most of all when they hide behind a religion that is incompatible with the civilized world.

So true,man I've seen a tape of a security cam inside a car tunnel,you see the traffic,then one car stops two guys come out,take out their carpets and pray IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD!You see there isn't even need to blow up a bomb to cause a traffic jam,I accept other religions but they should act more comfortable to the "civilized" world...

i respect other religions since i dont follow one but dress code is a dress code, even here in the uk (to worlds most religous tollerant country) people cannot work with any kind of headware in a public place.

she will lose the case, and just in it for the money

Im not too sure she will lose. Only in america can you sue for spilling hot coffee in your lap, get hit by a train by having sex on the tracks, and for drying your hair in the bathtub with an electric hair drier and WIN. There was a lady who went to a mcdonalds about 20 miles from my house and ordered a coffee and places it between her knees, driving out she hits a speed bumb, opening it and burning her. She sued the company for 3 mil and won. Our country fails.

Dude, you live that close to where that happened? They made a love Seinfeld episode that parodied that.

On this case, they are likely to pull the first amendment on this. Disney is however, not a public business, and she knew damn well that there was a dress code. I do not believe freedom of religion should apply to this case.

she didnt win that money on account of her spilling coffee on her thighs. that's a myth .the case to which you refer involved much much more. she didnt sue the comapny for much more than what it cost for her treatment, which was no where near 100 thousand dollars, let alon 3 million . mc donalds was found negligent in that they kept their coffee far too hot in order to raise the " aromatic factor of it ' the lawsuit involved the fact that the burns she'd recived would not have happened if the coffee had been at responsible temperatures. mc donalds refused to pay her for her initial claim, which, while she shouldn't have spilled it on herself, the coffee was hot enough to actually give her burns no coffee should have given. after mc donalds refused to claim responsibility for the severity of the burns she recieived punitive charges were pressed against them , they came close to about 1.6 million and she probabally got much much less.
. this story is over used and invalid,and like in most cases where people bring it up, totally false in many ways. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebeck_v. ... estaurants KOOL AID DRINKER FAIL !!!!!

Not likely to win, she should read her employment contract with Disney. It will probably get stayed because there is an arbitration clause in it.

little peice of history

Walt Disney himself was an INCREDIBLE racist. He hated black people, He DESPISED the Jewish faith, and he supported naziism in WWII.

Yeah dude it was sad. I've actually been to that mcdonalds, nice people, the speed bumb wasn't that bad haha. And jay, the story has probably been changed many times, thats the version i hear every week. While the coffee was too hot and shouldn't have given her burns, she also wouldn't have recieved burns if she didnt put the coffee in her lap. Yeah they probably make it too hot but common sence would say that you dont put hot coffee inbetween your legs.

Disney was only like that because he felt it was a direct threat to his business.

? the dude wasnt racist.. more than a little insensitive on occasions, but NEVER allied himself with the nazis or their ideals. he may have had ties to germans,before the war, but as a film director one would think that was a kinda a smart thing to do if you want people in another country to see your movies.
and keep in mind cracked magazine is satire, along with commentary . if yourd read that article more than subtley pointed out that calling the dude a straight up racist wwas a stretch .

Disney being a racist is an uneducated statement. That stuff on cracked.com wasn't any shred of proof. Im not gonna call disney a racist if his cartoons show some racism (which i saw very little if any in the sequences shown on cracked.) If your gonna call disney a racist get a quote directly from him. Im gonna use the 2nd exapmle from cracked where it said
"Lesson Learned:
The late 1800s were a great time to be African-American and possibly on acid."
Im not even sure how this looked racist by anymeans. There is no evidence that it is set in the 1800's. The guy sees a rabit bording up his door getting ready to leave. Racism? I see none. And in the 9th one, he need words that rhymed. Plus, aladin takes place in the middle east, have you herd of the taliban? I see no racism at all on that page just a guy who doesn't like disney so he spent time watching movies to try to say "dude he is so racist look at these examples which prove nothing".
