People spending so much money to sue large corporations for small issues or for things that are their own fault is groundless. IT was their responsibility to know what the consequences of their actions was before they started, so why did they do it anyways? It's amazing. I totally agree with some people who posted here.

I get really tired of this kind of thing. For every frivolous lawsuit there is a scumbag attorney making people feel like a victim and finding some rule under the law that entitles them to money... from those who earn to those who do not... I really hate that. I actually wrote a blog about it a while back, about lawyers enabling legal theft... if you're interested, it's on my site.

For some reason this person believes she is entitled to money as a result of an insult. Wow. If everyone got paid for every insult received... As for the second part of the post, people demanding excessive use of our tax dollars seem to have no understanding that government assistance is not free money. Money given is money lost by someone else. No exceptions. In an article I wrote about tax-payer abuse, I describe the view of the collective American tax-payer as a 'faceless entity'. No one gives any thought to the faces behind the tax-dollars. If this trend continues, we will find ourselves in a socialist country before long. While the rest of the world (countries who have experienced socialism/communism)take strides toward a free-market democracy, we take strides in the opposite direction, having never had to experience what it would be like under an all too powerful central government. The article is still up if anyone feels like reading it. Good points here. For some reason this person believes she is entitled to money as a result of an insult. Wow.

Lawyers are going to encourage any and all kinds of law suits to make a living. It is up to the person involved to stop and think, is this really justified, or am I just hoping to get some free cash because everyone else does. Did the employee read this statement out loud so that everyone could hear? Did they laugh and snicker at her every time she came in to get her prescription? Or did the employees choose a bad way to warn each other about how to handle a difficult customer? It sounds like she ws the only one to see the note and is looking for a little free money.

Does anyone want to live in Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle". Why can't the leaders lead to the greater good of all? Wealth should be transferred through taxation, not weakly founded frivolous lawsuits.

The paparazzi then turned around and sued Minolta Camera Company for 10 mil. Justice Scalia has said that sometime soon a quarterback will sue the coach that give him a buttslap after a touchdown pass. Litigation nation indeed. Anyway, I am contacting political bloggers around the country since I am one as well. I hope this email is not an intrusion. I would like it very much if you would go to http://www.bloggerschoiceawards.com/blogs/show/21020 and vote for me for best political blog and best overall blog as well, IF AND ONLY IF you feel my blog is of a high quality. I really think I have a legitimate shot at winning. If you are open to spreading the word, that would be cool as well. Thank you. eric aka www.blacktygrrrr.wordpress.com P.S. If you are open to a link exchange as well, that would be nice. I remember an old strip of “Bloom County,” when Sean Penn punched a fictional paparazzi who took his picture.

If American's did not have the constant reminder of big brother government, and the baby mentality, in which we must suck off the government teats to survive, then you would never have people thinking such a lawsuit was justified.

Paris Hilton, Scotter Libby, are these people entitled to a different set of rules than the rest of us? are the very rich and corporations entitled to continue to raise the price of everything to the point that its become almost impossible to survive in this country? Our leaders keep telling us that we must stop this culture of entitlement or the country will go bankrupt yet the largest corporations and richest individual figure out new and better ways of not paying taxes. Parents are shocked when they discover that the college fund they set up for their kid wont be enough because the college of their choice just raised tuition fees one hundred percent. the middle class keeps getting squeezed and as amember of that social strata i'm don't feel entitled to anything I just want what is due me. No not a government handout, but an opportunity to make my own way in the world without a governemnt that gives more and more to the one who need it the least. Entitlement society?
