Letigious Society!

Is it me or are we following America's lead when it comes to introducing legalities and frivalous claims into absolutely everything? You need only read my Americans post to see how I rate them as a civilisation, so I can't understand why we feel the need to make rods for our own backs and legislate for absolutely any number of daft things.

For example, that bint in America who got burnt by her coffee then sued McDonalds for a few MILLION dollars, could no one have just stood up and said "I'm sorry Mrs Dipshit, but you are actually just stupid and as such we are going to banish you to Antarctica where your dumbass antics will not (hopefully) endanger anyone else you idiot", and if not why not?

Years ago she would have accepted she was a bit slow and got on with her life, but no, not in claim culture America, she told her Lawyer and hey presto! A few million SPONGED dollars to live her life in stupid retirement. It was like giving a thug a million quid not to rob anyone else, just ridiculous. And the guy who put his Motor-Home into Cruise Control and then went in the back to make coffee, what a complete tool he was. Again, no-one told him he was a retard, so he expected a full on Auto-Pilot to kick in, and when he crashed because it didn't, who was to blame? He was dammit, him. But not in America! Oh no, the manufacturer should have told him there was yet to be a full-auto-pilot function and that cruise control would not actually control anything but the speed of his journey. What fools they were!

And now we are adopting this approach in the UK as well, love it! Now we can actually make our society even more dysfunctional with a few claims here and there for stupidity's sake. For example, a Kid falls over at a youth club. Big deal 10 or even 5 years ago, but now? Oh boy, you better have the best child-protection policy in the world or that kid who you MADE play football and who you MADE fall over his own feet will take you to the cleaners and there will be no-one to stand in his way. Disgusting.

Again, the point here is clear. We can either follow Americanised rules of civilisation, or we can invent our own where the clever, honest, hard-working people are rewarded, and the silly, dishonest, scrounging people are re-housed, in America, where they belong.

Gordon Brown needs to get Britain back on the rails, because we are already so far gone that soon there'll be no track to return to, and then we'll be a little colony of silly Americans...
