If all the cafuddle about video games doesn't piss you of beyond believe, Greek laws prohibiting arcade games (something to do with them coming under laws that ban gambling machines), video games not protected by the constitution in America (while books and films are?!?!). Grieving parents blaming games for murderers action and now this.
Now we have ppl suing fast food restaurants (or trying to) for making them fat/unhealthy. Well boo-frigging-hoo im a big fat slob, I know it, admit it and admit its my fault for drinking like a fish eating like a pig and doing feck all exercise. Now they claim its only just come to light that your body craves surgery & fatty food and its fast food restaurants fault for exploiting this ??? what the ....? you wanted a burger, they provided you with it, now your going to sue them. Grr this sort of stuff makes me so angry.
Then there's the guy from Lego land who received, like the rest of the staff there, a little Lego man figure that was supposed to represent him, as a gift. Now this guys arm in a sling and well you can guess so was the little Lego mans. This guys pulls a total mard takes months off work claiming mental anguish and wins £10,000 compensation. Judges are supposedly educated, highly intelligent people. So when a whining little man comes before one with a small Lego figure, crying his eyes out and claiming this small plastic man caused him a nervous breakdown. This supposedly intelligent person goes and awards him ten grand. Arrr what wrong with ppl.
I remember one of my friends who works in the prison service told me their prison psychologist who was hired into a high security prison to consul paedophiles had a break down and was claiming compensation because talking to paedophiles about their crime mentally disturbed him. Well ok it would probably be one of the most unpleasant jobs on earth but its not like the guy thought he was hired as a playschool coordinator. He knew his job, he was trained to do it he should have been told to sod off as it was obvious he would have to perform this duty as part of his job.
And I remember reading last year ( I think may have been early this year) about a police officer who claimed he was traumatized by the violence he encountered during a riot ( he didn't actually receive any wounds just witnessed a big scuffle) so he claimed compensation. Again the guys needs a big dose of "its your fucking job, what did you expect".
Sory for the insane rant but i just hate this sue-happy culture its disgusting and I fear the day a single case like this against a videogames company succeeds because its going to open a terrible flood gate.
just needed to get that of my chest, I think the heat and my diet is making me randomly angry
