Recently Phillip Morris paid an out of court settlement to a girl injured by one of their products. A mother left the girl behind in the car when shopping: before leaving the car she had unsuccessfully attempted to extinguishing a Marlboro cigarette. The smouldering stub caused the car to burst into flame resulting in 77% burns for the young girl.
If I say that a stray Marlboro cigarette was the primary cause of my frame- failure do I stand a chance of receiving a si,ilar settlement and, second, can I be referred to as DUMBASS?

I personally thought you had the dumbass thing firmly established after the Bianchi thread. Why do you need further confirmation?

Because, although many people were delightfully gauche and denegrating, the base upon which they founded what they laughingly refer to as their reasoning was one of quicksand. The end result was less than the sum of the components.

Dumbass -
Yes.
As to the Marlboro case - they clearly settled to avoid legal costs. A mother who leaves a child in the car to go shopping is negligent even if nothing happens.

The *idiot attorney wannabe* (that would be you, justin) must not know about comparative negligence (to further compound his areas of weakness). I also find it astounding that he keeps giving examples of cases with profound exposure due to massive tort claims (pain and suffering and the potential for punitive damages) as having any bearing on his expired warranty claim. These cases have very little in common.
Justin, you are in a special class. Calling you a "dumbass" would be a confusing compliment. It is more likely that in the future when someone makes an outrageous claim, that person will be called a "stupid Justin!".
Here is a tip Justin: If you want to add to the value of your claim, keep riding that thing until it fails (preferably on a steep downhill) and then if you get hurt, you can make a claim for your injuries (but not your frame! OK?).

Do you get it?
Little Nick, congratulations for your total physical recovery after your humour by-pass. Even a moron of mind boggling ineptitude could have divined that there is an element of self-deprocating humour in my posting. Even a moron as described: but not you.

Hey Dipshit,
Everyone knew you were joking, but your stupid joke was no more outrageous than your original article about your boohoo Bianchi situation.

It quite obviously can mean something otherwise you would not be able to react to it.
Hoping not to presume the meaning of another, but I believe that that writer meant : " ... your opinion will never mean anything OF VALUE."
Certainly, your inept treatment of legal themes confirms this in that area, rather globally, and your pettiness in discourse gives one the impression that you are just an abomination when nearby. Perhaps you have some good qualities, as all would hope. Feel free to show us what a stellar being you are, but it would be kind of you to deal with two-wheeled human powered competition vehicles. As the name of this newsgroup suggests.
Your replies will go unanswered. And no, you still can't qualify as a dumbass. At least not here.

Justin, please consider trying this with your Bianchi or favorite two wheeled machine. Find a long downhill with numerous curves that can be taken at speed, say 40+ mph. Go through the first few turns to get your speed up. Then close your eyes tight (NO peeking!!) until you stop. We'll all be better for it.

I have certainly considere your interesting proposal but am unable to incorporate it into my current cycling policy. I live in Holland and thus such an incline is about as rare as rocking-horse [censored].
