Re: Stella Liebeck Bottom line is this...the Mcdonald's coffee spilling story is referenced most often in these cases as an example of crazy lawsuits because on the surface it sounds as crazy as the rest. If I were related to or knew Stella, I would want her to win, too. But in this case(suing a cable company because your lazy,etc)the line is crossed. Is it a true story? I don't know. But thats the problem, It shouldnt be a true story, but we see this kind of garbage all the time now. If the story is a figment of someones imagination,then the lesson is that nothing surprises anyone anymore. That's a sad remark on our society. My personal pet peeve these days isn't so much the law suits, but "softening" of America's kids. Cutting out competetive sports because it ends in one child winning, and one losing. I wonder what these kids who never experience any kind of challenge will find when they graduate and apply for a job. Then again, maybe it's that kind of mentality that produces fat, lazy, law suit crazy people. We'll see. |
