But I'd have filed a class action in the name of those dead people
I thought of that, but I felt it would be obscene and I wanted to remain classy. That's also why I just asked for the symbolic million instead of actual damages, which could easily amount to trillions.

I say he could have spent this time looking for a cure for cancer. Now I'm not as arrogant as to say that he could have found one within the hour it took him to charge his phone. My client (can I call you my client Marty?) is human after all. But what did happen is that the search for a cure for cancer was delayed for an hour. So I guess you could say that there will be people who have cancer and we find a cure for this cancer, but unfortunately they die in the hour before we can administer this cure. Which, I suppose, means that in the end IKEA is responsible for these deaths. Now understand that my client is a very sensitive man. He is someone who looks at the misery in this world and tries to come up with ways to help. This is his nature, his essence. For such a man to be confronted with hundreds of thousands of deaths, which were completely preventable and only occurred due to the I'd say almost malevolent negligence of this company, only interested in making profits, is incredibly painful. The shock and emotional trauma this has brought to my client is difficult to quantify. I therefore think one million US dollars can serve as a symbolic means of making amends.
I should hire you as my lawyer instead of the guy I have now :D

Surely at least a million per case of cancer?

I decided aganist that, because it would make it look like a class action lawsuit where I sue on behalf of the cancer victims. Besides I would have to prove where and when which specific person died because of the negligence.

i sure will give him a call should i ever need a lawyer.

do tuz members get 10% off? @Seven
Yes.

What about suing based on chairs? Every chair that IKEA produces symbolizes a cancer sufferer who could be getting their much needed rest sitting in the chair, but instead IKEA cynically sells those chairs. For profit!!!

Oh, fuck! It's J-dag today in Denmark.

Gonna be a long long night with teens and other shitters who can't take the semi strong xmas brew :(
Power to the hops?

But why are you boys out celebrating a commercial marketing campaign?

Blew some shit up last night in the rain. Gonna blow more shit up and burn stuff on Saturday night.

Anonymous descended on London last night. That looked fun.
Cool photos. But haven't Anonymous soiled themselves enough lately to be even more anonymous than before?

I thought that was copypasta. :shifty:

Now there's an angle I do like. I'd say IKEA mocks cancer sufferers.

@Scottish sorry for not replying earlier, no i do not live in buenos aires, done with mexico already? Also id recommend chile ahead of argentina, as youd make more money and chileans are just cooler people imo
Cool thanks I'll have a look for things in Chile as well then. I really do like Mexico a lot but this job situation, while ok, isn't enough for me to want to stick around longer. Starting the process to look for jobs now with a view to moving in February which would be near enough a year here. I'm actually trying to see if I can go to the same city after Mexico as my girlfriend who is also an English teacher that I met here.

By the way are you Argentinian?
