You got a problem...there must be someone you can sue?!

Sometimes litigation stories make me nuts.  I know there are valid circumstances where people need to sue for real damage done to them or loved ones.  But often we see ridiculous examples of people blaming others for everything.  We are becoming a "no responsibility" society..  It's not my fault I drank to much and used poor judgment.  It's not my fault I found my penis in 23 other women...I have a "problem". 

Well apparently its also not our faults for getting fat either.  Hey...I have excess pounds that I have been gradually shedding, but I certainly do not blame others for my inability to stop stuffing chocolate in my face.  I accept I have a "mild" addiction to all things sweet : )

But hey, why blame yourself when you can blame "MacDonalds".  It worked for this guy.  He sued and got 18K out of the deal because they made him gain 65 pounds.  After all he had to sample the food, and they had the audacity to offer him free lunches.  What is a guy to do!??

    You've gotta be kidding me! WOW. People just assume someone else is going to look after them.

    I know it makes me crazy too. It's the same with suing the cigarette companies... like duh, they give you cancer? crap, well you didn't tell me so I'm going to sue. But the fast food ones are the craziest of all I totally agree! The sad thing is, those people are passing on poor eating habits to their children and the vicious cycle will continue.

    Oh I cam across this the other day when I read someone else's blog on the subject. Apparently you can now sue 4 year olds if they run into you with their bikes. That's right, not the parents, the 4 year old.

    A four year old is supposed to be accountable now? The world is crazy.
