    Chile IS part of America. Your bombing country is called United States of America, it's only colloquially called Murica

    You're wrong. It's Americas OR America.

    This is what happens in countries where geography is optional...

    America or The Americas would be the combination of South, Central, and North America.

    Mexico, The U.S., and Canada would be North America

    The United States are, The United States. Not America.

    How do you get a 3rd degree burn from tea by doing any thing short of boiling your leg in it for a period of time?

    When Trump said he was going to "Make America Great Again"...he wasn't referring to Canada, Mexico, Peru, Brazil, etc. now was he?
    When he said he was going to put Americans first...was he including Mexicans in that?

    You are looking to Trump for a source of intelligence. That was your first mistake.

    Who gives a fuck about trump, this is started about Canada being part of America, not about the fucking shit Trump is saying. Obviously that clowns has no idea what America means in it's all forms either, but that's another discussion. That motherfucker thinks Paris is in Germany. Seriously lol

    Debating about what America refers to is entirely offtopic. Drop it

    If dumbfuck Europeans didn't get to AMERICA and killed almost all the natives, you wouldn't exist. Yes, those dumbfucks were your grandparents.

    Actually this all started with this comment:

    Now...is he referring to a geographical region...or is he referring to a country?

    I didn't see that, I only saw this:

    Similar to how a guy made a lawsuit on MCdonals because he got overweight from eating many burgers too often...
    See, no mention of any country

    Anyway, as it was said, this is off-topic...

    Huh. I didnt know my grandparents, who were immigrants from Czechoslovakia in 1962, were directly responsible for killing off almost all the natives. Guess i better check my history privilege right? Did they also Culturally Appropriate their stuff as well?

    SJW's need to be rounded up and put on their own island as an experiment. See how long they all last.

    Beyond whether or not the woman was trying to file a fraudulent lawsuit....I think it's perfectly plausible that the lid wasn't fastened correctly. How many millions of drinks are made per day by minimum wage Starbucks employees, and you're trying to tell me that they've had not one fuckup in the lid department? Please. I'm pretty sure *I personally* have gotten a coffee with a lid not properly secured by Starbucks in the past. I just don't end up with second and third degree burns, because I don't drink hot beverages while driving.

    Not saying the McDonalds woman was in the wrong just that this is a sorta similar scenario

    Yeah gotta say it's not unbelievable that something like that could happen. Hell I've had a bad lid on a cold drink from drive thru before but I caught it before it spilled all over myself.

    Can you believe scammers these days? Blaming Starbucks for her mistake.
    If medical records prove she got burned, she got burned. Whether or not it was genuinely an accident or she did it on purpose should be what's up to question here. If I buy a product and am genuinely injured from it, you can expect I would like (at the very least) payment for the medical treatments I had to get.

    I dunno if you know this Ace, but here in the States, going to the hospital is bankruptcy-worthy expensive.

    You could technically be injured by making a fire in a fireplace. That doesn't outright mean the fireplace maker is to blame. lol
