    The Trial attorneys have extended their evil sights to beyond US. If these so called “Plaintiffs” win, the trail attorneys will have a fatter pockets and all other Rats will be out looking for “Plaintiff”, the whole world will bring suits against US companies, like out courts are not busy enough !
    One hope : maybe US companies will stop outsourcing !

    Dole and other companies that exploit workers in the name of profits need to learn that they are responsible when they cause harm.

    Maybe this was Bush’s plan all along. Sterilize them so they can’t come over to our country, steal our jobs, suck up the health care money, and then drop anchor babies on us. But, I bet Karl Rove was the person really behind it. Good Job Karl!! This may work better than a wall

    And we get to experience higher insurance cost if the claimants are successful at all. And were is the scientific evidence? Probably found that evidence in the back pocket of some ambulance chasing lawyer, eh?

    Good post Compman!

    Patriot, I agree with you on the evidence, or lack of.

    They were exposed in the ’70’s & are just now filing a suit? Dang, those lawyers sure are slow. Maybe they were using the same stuff. What kind of water supply? Running water should have been clean for at least a few years now. No shortage of atrophied testes in the attorneys is there?

    If it were up to Patriot and Compman, we would still have slaves around. Oh wait, big corporations do have slaves in third world countries. You talk about taking your jobs away, when was the last time you wanted to work in the fields picking fruit or in a restaurant washing dishes? I seriously doudt that any of you have ever worked that type of job. So cut the crap and let the courts decide. After all there are conservative judges on the bench as well.

    What tripe. This is pure BS and the case should have been thrown out of the US Courts a long time ago.

    Mo,
    Interesting point re: Americans working in fields or washing dishes. This case, from what I read in the article is regarding workers -outside- the US, though.

    But you got me to thinking. I can’t remember the last time I saw a verifiable American doing that type of labor, although I’m sure some do.

    This may be somewhat off topic…

    But is there any possibility that a lot of Americans aren’t seen doing things like washing dishes, roofing or working in fields because they actually “make” more money collecting welfare?

    Therefore migrant workers and illegals will accept those jobs because they are ineligible for welfare?

    Just a theory…

    Mo, before you start passing judgment, maybe you should try and soak in some facts. Where do you think most high school kids work? They don’t start out as CEO’s of companies. When I was 15, I was a busboy at Perkins in Plymouth, MN. I rode my bike 2 miles each way to work there. I worked my way UP to dishwasher by the time I turned 16 and could drive. Then I applied as a bagboy at a Grocery store and worked up to stockboy and kept that job thru college. So don’t go telling me I have never done or won’t do those types of jobs. To this day, I can afford to hire a cleaning lady to clean my house, but I do it myself. Same with upkeep of my yard. I mow my lawn, (well, I make my son do it), but that’s ok. You bleeding hearts need to pack your bags and move to Cuba or France and get the hell out of our country if you want to be a socialist.
