What happened to the days of beating someone up if they called you a name, instead of suing them or going home and killing yourself? People need to loosen up, amirite?
I think part of it has to do with the stricter rules in school.
If you punch one kid you're out for good, unlike the good ol' days where they let kids settle things out.
So people resort to mentally harassing others instead.
Its happened a lot. Like the time when a burglar broke into someone's house, and tripped and hurt himself. He sued the house owner successfully. Or the other time when someone had a heart attack,a bystander preformed CPR and saved his life. The one with the heart attack sued his savior for "not doing it right". Also when a drunk driver killed a kid, and sued his parents for it.
I have plenty of other examples like that. It's really sad to see how evil humanity is.
just my two cents but wouldn't it be great if you had to pay a huge fine if you lost the case? That might make people think twice before suing someone who threw a snowball at them.
I'm not saying violence is the answer. I'm saying that years ago, if someone called you a name you would fight for 3 seconds and then be friends again. And yes, a little fighting is better than suicide.
I know what you were saying, I just wanted to clarify that I wasn't endorsing violence. I just wanted to point out how people have lost their spines. Good points though.
the teens have gotten soft in this new gen
Seriously, it's pitiful

That was one of my theories.
my thoughts exactly!!
I've said it many times we are in the midst of a total wusification of america
'tis true. Such a shame to go from being the home of the brave to the home of the "if you breathe on me I'll sue you"s
it wrecks the natural order of life
Pretty soon people will be able to sue others for thinking bad thoughts.
And not to mention, criminals are suing victims. I don't know how that even works.
Like you can go to prison for assault with a deadly weapon by spitting on someone. Usually it would be assault for them, for kicking your fucking ass
Please tell me you're kidding... When did that happen?

I don't even have words to describe how this disgusts me...
Oh damn. Thats awful, they need to change the law somehow /:
People are insane with lawsuits these days.

You do, they're called court fees and they are crazy expensive.
Ay, not all of us are pussies. A good smack to the face does wonders sometimes.
because then the people you can sue for slander, instead can now sue you for assault
Because of course violence is the answer. The best would be to do none of the above.
I'm not saying violence is the answer. I'm saying that years ago, if someone called you a name you would fight for 3 seconds and then be friends again. And yes, a little fighting is better than suicide.
Yeah but neither is even better. That's why I said NONE of the above. As in not fighting, suicide, or suing.
violence is sometimes the answer, just not all the time
