Pretty Much.

You're forgetting the case where a burglar fell through his victim's skylight and cut his leg on a kitchen knife, sued the woman, and won.

Wasn't something like that in "Liar Liar"; I think it might also be an urban legend, I could be wrong though.

Bentonville, Arkansas —The Bentonville, Arkansas man, Earl "Give It To Me" Adams, who only days before had demanded the city pay him $20,000 "for the pain and suffering of his sons after they discovered a book on lesbian sex in their local library," was arrested yesterday on assorted charges, including child endangerment.

Adams was discovered trying to slip into the city's library another book on lesbian sex, entitled The Joy of Grinding, by a different author. Subsequent investigation revealed that this book had been "published" by Adams himself, on his computer, because he later admitted, "I meant to ask for $30,000."

When police searched Adams' home for other material, they discovered several issues of Stud magazine under the boys' beds.

ROFL.

EDIT: I assume that Stud magazine is ghey sexxsorz.

American civil lawsuits are the laughing stock of the entire world.

Liebeck v. McDonald's Restaurants, a.k.a. the "McDonald's coffee case", is a well-known product liability lawsuit that became a flashpoint in the debate in the U.S. over tort reform after a jury awarded $2.9 million to a woman who burned herself with hot coffee. The trial judge reduced the total award to $640,000, and the parties settled for a confidential amount before an appeal was decided. The case entered popular understanding as an example of frivolous litigation.

This is what we are trying to do up in Canada to prevent Law Suits like this.

What I mean is that Law Suits like this are treated as follows:

1. Mediation: The two parties get together and discuss the legitimacy of the case and seek a resolution.

2. Arbitration: Both parties must select a third party to give their opinion on the case.

3. Pretrial Judge: An informal court appearance where a Pretrial judge (Can be a justice of the peace or something at that level) Where a ruling is made. The 2 parties have the option of rejecting the ruling and proceeding to civil court. However if the Court Judge has the same ruling as the Pretrial judge, the party that rejected the Pretrial judges ruling is penalized.

4. Civil Court

Now keep in mind steps 1-3 are paid for by the 2 parties and not the tax payers.

The other thing they have done is apportion blame. How this works is, say we use the example of someone slipping on a patch of ice on your property and suing you. Well the court actually determines the % of fault of the plaintiff and the defendant and apportions the responsibility. How this works is, say you were the plaintiff and they ruled in your favor, but determined you were about 25% at fault. You would only get 75% of your settlement.

These steps have dramatically reduced court wait time, costs, and frivolous law suits. Now if Canada can only fix up it's pathetic criminal system as well.

You think the American civil system is in bad shape? The Canadian criminal justice system is a mockery.

LOL @ Mindships article.

LMFAO that sounds like some crappy twist at the end of a movie... Made me laugh.

I'm pretty sure it happened, but I can't find an article about it.

This whole thing makes me laugh. I mean if the father doesn't let the kid read about gay people, when the kid grows up, how's he going to know what the father wants him to hate?

LMFAO! The Joy of Grinding.

I think the schools in North America should have a class that teaches people that gays are just a figment of their imagination and call it the "Hey, your a dumb ass small minded hick" class. Homophobia is simply a reflection of a person's insecurity in their own sexuality.
