All they do is backlog the real cases. It makes a farce of crimes with real victims.

There were some that didn't make it into my blog where the judge greatly reduced the amount of money the jury awarded.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting.

Or, more probably, many of these pepole go around looking for things like this to make some money. Most people want other people's money ,either without having to work too hard for it or because it's owed them "through no fault of their own" because they are victims. Or, at least slightly over half of the American population is of this lawsuit/gimme mentality, based on this year's presidential election. <br />JulieJulie Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242380140265459688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131669960192626946.post-86730830122387462392012-12-02T22:10:47.918-06:002012-12-02T22:10:47.918-06:00I just shake my head every time I hear of a stupid...I just shake my head every time I hear of a stupid lawsuit. Late at night my husband and I count how many lawyer commercials we see. <br /><br />In one night there were 6 different lawsuits being shown. Unbelievable.<br /><br />Great post Samantha and I'm still grinning over the ménage lawsuit.<br /><br />MarikaHarlie Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01866226921079232570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131669960192626946.post-36445794455310406852012-12-02T08:36:21.862-06:002012-12-02T08:36:21.862-06:00Hi, Lilly: Yep, Ron White had that one correct......Hi, Lilly: Yep, Ron White had that one correct...you can't fix stupid.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by.Samantha Gentryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02764092383245823784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131669960192626946.post-18197605722905428962012-12-02T08:34:24.544-06:002012-12-02T08:34:24.544-06:00Miriam: It's truly sad and a scary trend.

You could always put the cup into the microwave for an extra shot of heat...oh, wait a minute. Then the microwave oven manufacturer could be sued...<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.<br />Samantha Gentryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02764092383245823784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131669960192626946.post-54442818555938607402012-12-02T07:41:16.870-06:002012-12-02T07:41:16.870-06:00Wow.

Well, my daddy always said you can't idiot-proof the world. A comedian later said it better.

It's a bit like mental aberration spilling over into society and you're left wondering who is in charge of the asylum. A little frightening in some cases. But I guess now I know why my coffee pot won't get coffee really HOT. :) Miriam Newmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05105724854045409335noreply@blogger.com
