Yes, definitely. Americans are too eager to sue one another. Whatever happened to the words "it was an accident" or even "it was my fault and no one else is to blame." These words or similar sayings to some seem to not exist any more, suing over what seems to be petty minute incidences where most of the time no one else was to blame except themselves. Although still choose to blame someone else for what seems to be solely for there own financial gain.

The woman in the newspaper who sued because they spilt there coffee on them whilst driving which resulted in them burning themselves. For a start, what was they doing driving with a hot drink in there hand surely people can see that is an accident waiting to happen. Also if you go to buy a coffee you expect it to be hot so you are careful not to burn yourself, is that not just common sense but because the coffee did not have the words caution hot written on it, they sued. If you buy a coffee you expect it to be hot.

Another a person sued MacDonald's because there child got fat from eating them everyday. Again common sense, if you feed your child junk food everyday with no healthy nutritional meals everyone knows they are going to put on weight. The same as everyone knows MacDonald's is not full of healthy nutritional food. The food packaging did not have calorie counts and nutritional information on them giving them grounds to sue. How ridiculous.

A thief trying to burgle someone's house cut themselves after trying to climb through a window they had just broken, to many people this serves them right, they should not have been trying to burgle the house in the first place. But no the broken glass was a danger, it would not have been if they had not have broken it. How can this be the owners fault, they did not choose to be burgled.

How can these lawyers be justified in representing these cases? Even worse how these cases appear before a judge? These people just need to be told to stop being so ridiculous and stop suing over nonsense things which have happened due to there own incompetence. Should Americans who waste the justice systems time not be tried? The justice system has a lot more important issues to deal with, than issues which occur due to the person own incompetence, the person who is suing for what only seems to be there own financial gain and not to make the world a better place so the occurrence does not happen to anyone else. What happened to it was my fault, people need to take some responsibility for there own actions.
