I wonder how much the 1st grades families got! I bet its not 15million!
Actually, I was speaking on this same subject just two nights ago- the 'need' for Americans to seek retribution for perceived wrongs.
On the one hand, what does someone who is worth $500 million need with another $15 million?
On the other hand, why shouldn't s/he be entitled to compensation?
Dunno.
I see this all the time- the xxx (pick your product) didn't live up to expectations, so damn it, sue some one: 'I deserve something!'
Unfortunately, our (North American) society has veered (not wandered) towards providing compensation for things outside of 'normal' control...
Then we get into the 'act of God' thing, and well, who knows what the right answer is? Other than I should have followed my instincts and gone on to be a lawyer...
I think I just opened another one of those proverbial boxes. Or did Mikef? Ah let the debate begin!
If I had 500 million and this happend to me I would sue and give the money to the familes of the children on the ground.
Or use that money to stop these things from happening again.
I think there should be a cap on stuff like this. She got 15 million because she could afford to go after it.
How about this old saw that's made the rounds on e-mail...
Let's see if I understand how the world works lately.........
If a man cuts his finger off while slicing salami at work, he blames the restaurant.
If you smoke three packs a day for 40 years and die of
lung cancer,
your family blames the tobacco company.
If your neighbor crashes into a tree while driving home drunk, he blames the bartender.
If your grandchildren are brats without manners,
you blame television.
If your friend is shot by a deranged madman,
you blame the gun manufacturer.
And if a crazed person breaks into the cockpit and tries to kill the pilot at 35,000 feet, and the passengers kill him instead, the mother of the crazed deceased blames the airline.
I must have lived too long to understand the world as it is anymore.
So, if I die while my old, wrinkled *** is parked in front of this computer,
I want all of you to blame Bill Gates...okay?
And if were your spouse that got killed??Originally Posted by Mikef
