1. One should consider the consequences before taking any actions
It's like speeding, if I can't afford the ticket, I best be damn sure I am not speeding.

6. I think this is awesome.
This is how families without health insurance feel when someone gets sick.

Except instead of losing their pool, they lose their house.

7. guess they should have thought of that BEFORE they kicked out a group
of kids that had already paid for a membership because other members didn't like the idea of having to share their pool with black kids.

10. Those racist scums deserve all the bad publicity they're getting.
And I hope they suffer great loss as a result of the lawsuit.

If only the cost of a lawsuit were the only price of bigotry.
