I'm Gonna Sue
|
|
|
|
I'm gonna sue. I'm gonna sue the restaurant I ate lunch at
|
|
last week. Their soup was too hot and burned my tongue. Better
|
|
yet, I'll sue the company that makes that dangerous soup. They
|
|
should have warned me and prevented my injury. I'll sue Bic, the
|
|
company that makes the lighters I use. I burned my finger on one
|
|
just the other day. They should pay me for my suffering.
|
|
I should sue the company that manufactures my cigarettes too. If
|
|
it weren't for their addictive product, I wouldn't have used that
|
|
dangerous lighter in the first place. I am an innocent victim, I
|
|
say, and I'm gonna sue.
|
|
|
|
Bullshit. That's all people do these days. Sue for their
|
|
pain and suffering, work missed, time off, emotional crises, blah
|
|
blah, blah. If you can't get them on criminal charges, bring up a
|
|
civil suit. You're sure to win one way or the other. Look at the
|
|
lady who bought hot coffee from McDonald's. She's rich now because
|
|
she burned herself on a beverage that is supposed to be hot, and if
|
|
it weren't, she would have bitched about that, too. Of course, you
|
|
make more money when you get hurt. Bad service is just something one
|
|
uses to get a free meal. She made money off the fact that she herself
|
|
possessed no common sense. "I'll put this steaming hot coffee between
|
|
my legs while I drive. Of course it won't spill when I take that one
|
|
nasty corner." Stupid.
|
|
|
|
Now the compnay that made the fertilizer used in the Oklahoma
|
|
City bombing is getting sued. What's wrong with this picture? Yes, it
|
|
is an explosives company, true. But this suit insinuates that, had it
|
|
not been for this _particluar_ brand of fertilizer, no lives would
|
|
have been lost, no bombs would have been made. Yeah, right. You can
|
|
use all sorts of neat little household materials to make bombs, and
|
|
other fertilizers as well. So these people truly think that if it
|
|
weren't for _this_ fertilizer none of this would have happened? Of
|
|
course they don't. The bomb would have gone off no matter what type of
|
|
explosive materials were used. The people responsible for this
|
|
incident wanted it to happen. The trick is this: Send the criminals
|
|
to jail to get emotional satisfaction and sue the company to get
|
|
financial satisfaction. After all, the victims should get something
|
|
out of this right?
|
|
|
|
Wrong. Why does a victim "deserve" anything? All these
|
|
victims have a huge impact on our lives, but no one ever thinks about
|
|
that. With some companies, you can sue them for a million dollars
|
|
and it is pocket change. For others, even a thousand dollars would
|
|
cause ruin. All these bullshit lawsuits do nothing except make
|
|
a victim happy (and rich) and the company scared to do anything anymore.
|
|
Sometimes even prices must be raised, jobs can be lost. Doctors
|
|
won't do certain types of surgery anymore because of malpractice
|
|
fears, and precious lives are lost. And why? Because someone got
|
|
hurt or things didn't go they way they wanted them to, and they said,
|
|
"I'm gonna sue."
|
|
|
|
Certainly not all civil suits are groundless or a waste of time
|
|
or money. I am certain that many people out there who choose to sue
|
|
an institution or an individual have a good reason to do so. What I
|
|
am saying is that people need to wake up and realize that mistakes
|
|
and accidents happen. They are a part of life. Compnies cannot control
|
|
who uses their products and how they are used. It is impossible to
|
|
monitor their clientele that closely. That woman who bought the hot
|
|
coffee should have realized that sometimes liquids spill while you are
|
|
in a moving vehicle so one should be careful. And if it does spill,
|
|
so what? It was an accident. How far can you take all of this? I'm
|
|
pretty sure that if the man who invented explosives were still alive,
|
|
the Oklahoma City victims would have sued him too. More money, more
|
|
press coverage, more reward for their suffering. That's the name
|
|
of the lawsuit game. More is better, less is none.
|
|
|
|
I am going to close with a little story about a woman who could
|
|
have sued and won, but didn't. A lady in her thirties got into a major
|
|
accident and had both of her feet cut off at the ankles. She was
|
|
rushed to the emergency room and her feet were successfully reattached.
|
|
A few days later, they realized that they had been attached to the wrong
|
|
legs. Now, this woman could have sued the hospital and its staff for
|
|
millions of dollars and most certainly would have ended up with quite
|
|
a hefty settlement. But she didn't do it. Why not? She said, "I'm so
|
|
happy to be able to walk, who cares if my feet look a little funny? I
|
|
know it was an accident." Due to an opertaing room error, this young woman
|
|
is literally deformed for life. Now isn't this a little worse than
|
|
getting burned by hot coffee? _You_ think about it.
