Living in Canada we do not see as much of this as the USA…

I share your frustration. If you are not bright enough to figure out it’s icy and you may slip.

Then you should not be able to sue someone else because you are not intelligent enough to take care of yourself in a obvious environment of nature.

However if they poured water on the driveway because you called and they new you were coming over. Then you may have a case.

wow… I didn’t know people do this.. She most not got a lot of love as a child so turning on someone like family doesn’t mean much to hear. Or she just wanted to be lazy and not work and have her parents pay for it… Guess who’s not going to be attending any other surprise birthday parties… You guessed it!!

well, the world now is becoming more crazy… our value system is at mess and we don’t even recognize now what is noble and what is disgrace. it seems that there is little we can do about it.

Wow! The shoe company. I really hadn’t thought of that one. Great idea sue the shoe company. They have money. And, well I think this whole convo about suing has reached the bar of suing because you burned yourself on hot coffee.

LOL! Thanks Guys. I needed this. : )

Yes, the forest rangers know how dangerous the tree roots in the forest have gotten, yet they have done nothing to warn people.

And possibly a shoe that can get caught by a tree root was not manufactured properly.

Well, how about the tree that’s root tripped you. Or, you could sue the forest rangers, for not maintaining the forest to your liking.

I twisted my ankle this weekend on a tree root. I’m wondering who I can sue in the forest. It hurts a little still. Anybody know?

Thanks. I thought it was a pretty neat analogy myself. Yes, sue the laws of physics and Gravity; because we all know Gravity is the big problem. By the way, why isn’t she suing gravity? The answer money. It’s only worth suing someone with money. If you don’t have money or someone with money backing you up, you probably won’t get sued. People sue for money. That’s what it comes down to. I have never seen someone in People’s Court or in front of Judge Judy saying something like ‘I know the contracter did a shoty job, have him fix and finish the work correctly.’ Mostly, these people want more money than they paid out, for that stupid thing called ‘pain and suffering’. As far as i’m concerned, let them suffer.

I know I’m being mean but really. How often do you watch those shows and say ‘now, they have a reason to be there’. Most of those, cases your like ‘seriously, don’t you have something better to do’. Which of course they don’t, because they are there in court.

merk :: That’s right! Actually, there are SO many times that I wish some of the cases I hear about on the news would be tranferred to Judge Judy so I could hear her get verbally medieval on them.

Rachel :: I love your spin on it.

Narbhflaith :: Yes, the greed drives all… including junk like this court case. I love the part where you sue the forest! And perhaps we should sue the Laws of Physics, too. We could call in a mdium to transfer the personified essence of the laws into a dummy that could stand trial on behalf of all of them (but especially gravity).

Rachel, I totally agree.
And by the way, How were they suppose to prepare for visitor’s if it was a surprise. I mean really, what ever happened to watching where you step, cause its winter and lets face it there is ICE?!
So i guess I should sue the forest for not maintaining itself and not the fact that I am a clutz that trips over roots. Right?!
Or the Ski resorts, because the slopes are sometimes icy and I fall down?
NO!!! We are people with faults, that includes physical imperfections. Which means, that this girl should apologize to her parents for this problem and drop the lawsuit. (yeah that’ll happen) This is what a selfish and greedy society we live in and it sucks.

What kind of person sues their own parents for something like that? Surely, it’s her own fault as she should have been visiting her parents more often and perhaps taking care of the leaky gutter for them.

They need to take that one to the People Court.

I think this is a good case against evolution.
