as heard on radio this morning!
Feb. 17th, 2009 08:53 amThe breakfast boys on 3AW got people voting on 190091010 whether or not we as individuals would sue the parents of our mate if we were staying with them and fell off a bunk bed. I was pleased to hear that 88% of respondents said "no" and, i guess 12% would be greedy.
Anyway, that was the case in NSW apparently where this ten year old boy was suing his mates parents. ridiculous! If you decide to sleep on the top bunk, it's your problem, no-one elses. If you're prone to falling out of bed, even more the case!
Furthermore, it wasn't clear on the situation surrounding this case. eg, a rumour was that the boys could have been jumping from a near-by chest of draws on to the beds! if so, suing is obviously ridiculous!
When stupid boss and myself were in a disagreement about occupational health and safety a few years ago, I was trying to explain that if I got injured either accidental or on purpose on the way too or from work, I would *not sue them because it's not their problem; they had nothing to do with it! More so, if it were an accident, it would be entirely my fault; no-one elses.
Same goes for any other situation; I'm not going to sue if they had nothing to do with it.
OK, if i was walking down the street and someone deliberately tripped me up by sticking their leg out, yes, I would sue.
Maybe even if I had nicely asked people for days to get rid of a particular overhang outside their property, they didn't and I walk along and cut my eye on it.
And unlike what boss thought, I am honest. No, i haven't been in any such situation, but, it's just me and how I feel!
People sue for so many stupid reasons these days, and more often than not with the few cases I have heard about, it's their own fault!
I don't think it's fair to bee finding any and everything to sue for.
In other news, as i will be away at puter club tonight, I asked Nan if she could kindly tape ten for me. I especially don't want to miss the hour long loser tonight for the continuation of fallout, and also because another major event will be taking place, and I don't want to miss out on what it is.
Oh, and before I finished paying off the KNFB reader. i did it over these two days cos my bank will only allow limitted transfers at a time.
til next time, RdFreak
