should people be allowed to sue fastfood restaurants

I do not believe that people should sue fast food restaurants. Lets start with the two reasons why people should not have the capability to sue fast food rerstaurants: 1) People sue because they eat a hamburger and get fat. 2) There is something in their food and they get disgusted. For those who gain weight go to weight loss programs, yet they don't lose weight. So instead of those suing fast food restaurants because they got fat, sue the weight loss programs because the program did not work and you spent alot of money to do that. And for those who want to sue fast food because they had something in your drink, go inside and ask them for annother one plain and simple.

People absolutely should be allowed to sue fast-food restaurants. I agree that some lawsuits are frivolous, but this does not mean that you take away people's right to sue fast-food restaurants because they will need that right when they have a legitimate suit to bring.

My opponent said that people should have the right to sue fastfood restaurants. First off, what is the point if you and many people sue fast food restaurants and you lose consistently? Second off, if you need to point the finger, point it at diet programs. Some diet programs do not help you lose weight. If you spend all of this money on a program that doesn't even work, then you should try your best to at least to get your money back. Finally, is it actually fast food that makes people fat? I can eat 3 double cheeseburgers, 1 large fry, and a large drink and still weigh 110 pounds. It is how active you are that also puts a factor on if you gain weight. So if that is the case then it is not mcdonalds fault so don't be annoying and sue someone that is providing what you want.

You are going off topic...

The question you set forth is "should people be allowed to sue fast-food restaurants?"...

You ask "what is the point if you and many people sue fast-food restaurants and you lose consistently?"- The point is that we are exercising our FREEDOM to use the court system, which is supported by our tax dollars, to hold a party accountable that we believe has wronged us...and what evidence do you have that people are filing all these pointless suits and losing? You said that I and "many people" sue fast-food restaurants...I've never done so...I'll assume you were just making a hypothetical.

You then go off topic into "if you need to point the finger"- I'm not pointing a finger...you are...at fat people. (this whole thing about diets is off topic and irrelevant)

Finally you end with "it is not mcdonalds fault so don't be annoying and sue someone that is providing what you want."- I agree that people should not file annoying or frivolous lawsuits, however that is very different than saying people should not be ALLOWED to bring lawsuits against fast-food restaurants. Someone can think that tenants shouldn't be allowed to sue their landlords because most of their suits are frivolous, but we'd all agree that a tenant's right to sue their landlord should not be taken away from them for the simple fact that not all tenants file frivolous suits.

Bottom line- People SHOULD be allowed to sue fast-food restaurants. For example, what if you slip on a broken tile in a fast food restaurant and break your arm...don't you want to be ALLOWED to sue that restaurant for the damage they have caused you (medical bills, pain and suffering)?

My opponent says that people should be able to exercise the right to sue restaurants. He also said that they shouldn't be suing them frivously. Yet people do that. They sue McDonalds and they lose. So they sue them again and they lose, and again, and again, yet they lose. If that does not annoy you then what does? Also my opponent said that if you slipped and broke your leg at a fastfood restaurant, you would sue them to get all of your medical bills paid. That statement is out of order. If you slip, that is your own fault. It is ridiculous to sue someone for slipping at their property. That is like saying I will sue someone for tackling me and breaking my arm at a football game. Things like that happen and it gets annoying when you get sued for the same thing for 6 years. The only people happy are the lawyers that get paid for this and then you have to pay court cost if you lose so stop wasting your money and vote for Con.

I'll repeat:

To answer your latest argument:

Saying that people shouldn't sue frivolously and TAKING THAT RIGHT away from them are two very very different things....

My point about someone slipping was that if you slip AT THE FAULT OF THE RESTAURANT...like a said in my example, "if you slip on a broken tile"...the broken tile is the fault of the establishment...they have to, by law, put up a sign or in some way make the patrons aware of the danger on their property.
