How do his parents respond? By suing the guy he went on the trip with, of course! :rolleyes:

Nah, we don't need tort reform. Like maybe if these greedy parents lose (it is to be fervently hoped) they pay the other guy's legal expenses. Any bets the parents will declare at their news conference they "aren't in it for the money?" Sucker bet for sure. This action isn't a search for the truth as Scooby thinks, it's a search for a settlement.

Yeah, you beat me to it.

The dude choked on his own vomit. That doesn't happen as a result of a "tussle" between people. That happens when you binge drink, and fall asleep on your back. I feel bad for the family, sure, but the whole litigious culture in this country really, really ****es me off.

Self-accountability has gone by the wayside. The majority of people now think that if something bad happens to them, it must have been someone else's fault.

Yeah, if you're fighting somebody and you throw up in the process of it, you're going to be awake enough to get it all out. And I'm pretty sure if you puke on somebody in the middle of a fight, they're going to back off for a minute to let you finish.

I'm beginning to show my age, big time. I can actually remember a time in this country when not every dipthong went around with a gun in his pocket. When NFL players didn't "require" armed body guards or their own guns for a night of pub crawling. When not every penny ante disagreement wound up like the gunfight at the OK corral.

So you're older than the OK corral?

The contingency fee has turned American civil courtrooms into a giant lottery, where bottom feeders (like John Edwards) file numerous suits, knowing at least a few defendants will settle.

Jurys are made up of people you generally wouldn't trust to walk your dog, and they throw around multi-million dollar judgements riblets on Super Bowl sunday.

The vast majority of members of Congress and our state legislatures are trial lawyers, who unsurprisingly, pass laws designed to promote full employment by (wait for it) lawyers.

My favorite lawyer joke: lawyer's sitting at home one night working and the devil materializes.

Devil says: I've got a proposition. I'll make you the best lawyer in the world. I'll make you the richest lawyer in the world. I'll make you the most sexually desireable lawyer in the world. In return, I want the souls of your wife and children to torture in hell forever.

Lawyer pauses a moment then says: What's the catch?

This one doesn't reallly belong here because the "nice" in Nice Planet is sarcastic. But try to read this one without choking up. I couldn't do it.

Unfortunately, bad editing ruined this paragraph:

One after another, the people of Muskegon knelt at Marrocco’s wheelchair to meet him, thank him, talk with him, some Vietnam veterans sharing private stories; others who have also seen action in Iraq, during World War III and Korea.

GRANDFATHER ARRESTED; CHILD CUSTODY MOTIVE FOR MURDER?

Philip Gattuso’s father-in-law was arrested in Oklahoma Monday night, suspected of conspiring to kill his son-in-law in a reported murder-for-hire.

Fargo police wouldn’t comment Monday night on the connection between Gattuso’s dead wife’s father, 63-year-old Gene Carl Kirkpatrick, and the man charged with murder, Michael Allen Nakvinda.

But relatives of both Gattuso and the man charged with killing him said Monday that Gattuso’s in-laws know Nakvinda and are trying to get custody of Gattuso’s 3-year-old daughter after Gattuso’s wife, Valerie, died in March.

An Oklahoma City TV station, News 9, reported on Monday night that authorities there said Kirkpatrick wanted Gattuso dead because he didn’t like the way Gattuso was raising his 3-year-old daughter, Kennedy, and paid Nakvinda $3,000 to kill the 49-year-old Fargo dentist.

This is why Oklahomans should be kept locked within their state.

So that was Mr. Gattuso on the floor in there. And I guess that was your accomplice in the wood chipper. And those three people in Brainerd. And for what? For a little bit of money. There's more to life than a little money, you know. Don'tcha know that? And here ya are, and it's a beautiful day. Well. I just don't understand it.
