Go to Post I'd say it is somewhat addicting. But I think that is a good thing. It proves that knowledge can be addicting. How cool is that? Now, if we could just get everyone addicted to knowledge, just think of what we can accomplish.:D - Molten [more]

Re: Disney turns away visitors on Segways

Can we make a law against stupid lawsuits like that so people can just live normal lives without having to worry about getting sued for ridiculous things?

Re: Disney turns away visitors on Segways

The US is the only country in the world where you can sue someone for nothing - in the rest of the world, if you file a frivolus lawsuit and the other person wins, then you must pay their legal fees

which pretty much put an end to nonsense lawsuits everywhere else on the planet
