Even in the US, I don't think this one will fly. Still, where else on Earth would someone even consider such a lawsuit?

I can kind of see why she might be upset, if they did indeed promise her a service that they simply didnt provide. I just think this will be one of the stories that people read the title but not the actual story. I'm not saying I agree with her here I just 100% think this one is skewed by the media. | ||

On the other hand, to be fair, it's hard to say what system would be definitively better. Juries of one's peers have their points. Judges, for instance, are subject to corruption. Maybe punitive damages should be done away with altogether. | ||

In both the linked article and the BBC article, there are precious few details as to the claim, basically a he said she said argument. In the end, if it turns out they did not meet their commitments to helping her, then she has a case. Way to deflate any drama out of the story with reason.... Might as well close this now. No fun to be had here. | ||

I don't know anything about this college but some advertise how like 99% of their grads have jobs and they will help you get a job. If they promised a lot and delivered shit then yea she might have a case for false advertising/hope/w/e. I agree , if they said guaranteed job placement after graduation, then yeah she has a right to be pissed if they didn't follow through. Of course there are TONS of other variables that could lead to it being totally her fault, but of course none of that is mentioned | ||

I think they are just naturally more funny than, say, a zergling (Zealots are always hilarious BTW). I was actually hoping for a little more drama to be honest. But all you jerks have to actually go and read/analyze the article to formulate an educated opinion. Very disappointing | ||

Very disappointing Years of posting on this forum transmute your mind. If you've been on TL.net long enough you learn to read the general course of threads from the OP. You're bound to stumble on something witty at some point besides the general "OMG NOOB AMERICAN TRYING TO GET MONEY, DIE IN PLANE CRASH YOU FAT HAMBURGER". | ||

The system can't support the consequences should she win this case. This sort of precedent must be avoided at all cost. Oh ya... GO america! | ||
