Title: When did the world get so sue happy...
Post by: tehjaybo on June 08, 2011, 09:26:51 AM
...that I have to have liability insurance to play a friggin' game at the state park?  Or anywhere, for that matter.  It turns out that just about anywhere in my area requires liability insurance to host an event where there's even the off-chance that Little Timmy might get a splinter.  When did this happen?  Did I miss something?

Invention of the TV and courtroom dramas that make it look like everyone deserves to be righted for the wrongs done to them.

Our house has a retaining wall surrounding it that kids like to walk along even though I ask them not to when I'm outside. We've got an umbrella policy that covers a case of one of them falling and getting hurt.

Try getting popped in a non-medical state with ten pounds, then we'll see.

It happened to an acquaintance of mine who was a nazi before the trial, now every year he makes a big donation to the state of Israel :lol :lol

It happened right around the time when Little Timmy's mother was able to nab a $5 million settlement for that splinter.
