Also, their lawsuits can directly and indirectly hurt innocent people who had nothing to do with it. And parents these days are the root of most of this country's modern problems- they're so half assed and lazy, they think it's the government and school's job to supervise and raise their kids, but god forbid if anyone tell them to discipline their kids and teach them right from wrong, they get so defensive and denying. Oh, and going to jail for rape, drug trafficking and obcenity does not make you a political prisoner. Let's stop living in the '60s.

Liza I know what you mean but I'm talking about frivolous lawsuits here, which seem to be the majority of the cases.

bombasticiconoclast I 1000% agree with you and have the same concerns. I feel like a grandma in a 21-year-old body. But why should people have to be old to have a conscience and common sense?

I lived through the 60's, the worst decade of my life. My long-standing moral values were under attack from radical groups that wanted to tear down our society, some to rebuild it in their desired image, other just for the hell of it. We turned out a lot of pot-heads, acid-takers, heroin addicts and drop-outs who were glorified in the media. Celebrities from the music industry found willing and greedy producers that promoted their life styles as glamorous in order to make money from ignorant kids. The Hollywood perverts had a field day with degenerate films that idolized sexual perversion, foul language and defiance of any authority. Well into the 70's we were producing teachers in our school system who advocated anti-authority attacks and protests against "big business" regardless of the fact that those businesses were one of the main factors in making us the strongest nation int the world and the one most desired in which to relocate. The generation of hippies and drop-outs and potheads and liberal "if it feels good, do it" teachers who promoted "me first and only me" attitudes in children did them no favors. 60's hippies are now becoming senior citizens, often grandparents while the entertainment media has moved up to an even more vile level of smut to glorify gangsters who defile and degenerate women as role models for the next generation. We have become a nation politically and morally divided against itself and universally disrespected by the world for our aggregate lack of moral fiber. Thank God I don't have teenagers any more. My four kids were raised with uniform discipline and love and taught personal responsibility for their decisions and actions. They are all happy and well-off today. I hope there are some other parents out there who are doing the same as we did or we will someday face anarchy.

First of all not all people that have law suits are stupid. How about a doctor that really messed up? and for you information not all parents let their children run wild. If you do the crime do the time or do the chair. or go any other way that you think the law does not always work for the innocent I have seen it. so you get real and learn how to handle the life you were give and stop whining. If each person would do their job and be responsible for what they do then the world would be a better place. Also when did the political prisoner stuff start I have not heard of it.

It's all for show! They want to say that they do a good job raising their kids, but spend 90% of their time in court fighting to keep them from seeing something unpleasant on TV so they don't have to admit they screwed up. Nobody self regulates anymore. The sooner people give up and raise thier own kids.
This is why I wonder why gay couples have trouble adopting children. Why would the government give a set of loving, nurturing parents a hard time, but someone that sleeps around and gets pregnant has all the rights in the world to screw a kid up however they choose.

I'm a liberal and I was taught to be accountable for my actions. I wouldn't sue someone for something stupid I did. If, for example, I try to walk on a glass ceiling in an atrium or something and I fell through, to bad so sad, it was my dumbass fault. But if said glass cracked and fell on me cutting me all too sh!t, then I would have a lawsuit. Either on the manufacturer or on the company that installed it. I'm totally against stupid frivilous lawsuits. The woman who sued Mickey D's should be shot. It was her fault the coffee was to hot. According to court transcripts she sent the coffee back 2 or 3 times because IT WAS NEVER HOT ENOUGH IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!! Or the guy that sued Winnebago because his rv crashed while he was IN THE BACK MAKING A POT OF COFFEE ON THE HIGHWAY!!! It's just too bad that we couldn't remove these geniuses from the gene pool before they had the adacity to breed.

in case you mean that they blame God or the devil for their strikes, i think it basically shows a loss of adulthood and the desire to flee the consquinces of undesirable habit. OR that's a manner for them to describe away a commonly considerd incorrect action via a misinterpretation of scripture. like the guy that killed abortion medical doctors and mentioned that the Bible condones it a defence of the harmless or something. The the Bible does condon protection of the harmless, a severe regulation may be the commandment "Thow shalt no longer Kill".

This is america, Land of the loop hole. Noone has the balls to say "Read between the lines." just because the snow blower doesn't say "Don't reach your hand in." doesn't mean its a good idea. People just have no common sense and want people to carry them through life.

The answer to your question: not soon enough. Would that we could do as Shakespeare urged, and hang all the lawyers. Eliminate the mockery that is civil liability and maybe we'd minimalize the nation of whiners that we've become.

Laws were put in place to protect the weak, but the powerful have taken them over.
I heard a judge on TV tell someone that spanking their kids was teaching them violence. What a crock of bull, it teaches them consequense to their actions!
