The officer was previously disciplined 4 times for other driving offenses, but killing someone - well - $35.50 oughta cover it.

The coffee was unreasonably hot, right? Fair enough.

Did you see any of the examples on the link I posted that clearly show America is incredibly litigous, which was the point of the reply?

Yes, the problem is that there is no redress of grievances outside of the legal system.

The only options are

1: to keep things as they are

2: to make it so that if something happens you just can't sue anyone and tough luck, or

3: institute a new system, in which case you have to get such a huge percentage of the population on board with your new plan that it basically amounts to a constitutional amendment.

So you can complain about how often people sue each other all you want, but until you come up with a new and better solution and actually get it passed then all you're doing is griping.

Right, let me just go and fix it myself or forever be silent. I forgot people aren't allowed to complain about things.
