IMHO Vudak gets it.....
"I wouldn't call it paranoia. People these days will sue for everything. It doesn't matter if the Supreme Court has already ruled on the same sort of case, they'll still say, "That hurt my feelings, give me money!"
So I wouldn't be that suprised to see a lawsuit filed over cartoon plane name calling.
I WOULD be suprised (shocked, saddened, dismayed, horrified), to see the lawsuit actually win... I mean, both sides get representation, one is going on pure emotion, the other is arguing law... SHOULD be an easy win for smack talker, but these days, who knows..."
and so does 2bighorn
"So, if I get killed I can sue? I mean dying is causing me some emotional distress.
Hehe, in the world as it is, this may actually happen."
Look at all those law suites against the firearms industry!
The suites were pretty much IMHO unwinable BUT................
Then there are the recent law suites against MySpace, AND some of the people using it, AND etc.........
Not saying it will happen tomorrow BUT in our increasingly P.C. world I'm pretty sure it's coming!
Look at the schools......
Not allowing some sports BECAUSE someones feeling might get hurt if they don't do well?
And what is being used to FUEL this kinda thing?
OUR OWN WORDS!
