Hmmm...interesting...not my area of practice but I wouldn't think this would be something that would be a violation of civil rights.
He's probably just looking to make a quick buck by filing a nuisance lawsuit. Stuff like this is why I hate being a lawyer sometimes (embarrassing to be associated with people who do this!).
What do you call 5000 lawyers trapped on a boat sinking in the middle of the atlantic ocean ? A good start
I do think he should be number 5001. Lawyers like him are the reason why everything costs so much. I'll stop before I get on a rant about lawyers
As far as the eharmony suit, I certainly hope this doesn't snowball out of control like all the restrictions that smokers are seeing now. I mean I could bring up a suit why I can't join a womans gym. But if a private company wants to restrict it's clientelle then I don't see why not. Especially since I and most people here would not want to get involved with someone who is separated.
I don't know. He's a lawyer, so he may have a shot. My personal opinion is that any members of any dating site should be single (and that includes not being in a committed relationship with someone either). However, we all know that people lie in their profiles all the time. I would like for there to be a way to screen for those who are totally free to date only, but I do not know of a way to do that. My guess is that e-harmony is attempting to at least level the playing field so that the separated or married ones are not eligible to join.
While I sympathize with the guy who is waiting on his divorce, I would think he could wait a while longer to join a dating site. I don't know how long he's been separated, but a waiting period in between a guy's divorce and when he starts dating again would be more appealing to me than a guy who can't wait until his divorce is final to find someone else.
You know you are right. Which makes it all the more ridiculous that this guy was offended when I told him I wouldn't date him because he is separated! Whew, glad I didn't waste any more time on his lying _ _ _.
Agreed...this sounds about as frivolous as they come. Perhaps there's a reason why this guy is soon-to-be divorced.
And as a representative of the "privileged" class in question, this ubermensch appreciates the (perhaps unintentionally hilarious) compliment. ;) Don't forget what our high school sports coaches told us about making assumptions! (LOL)

This reminds me of a classic joke
