In the distant future, America will probably be in a state where you arn't even allowed to look at someone the wrong way without getting sued...  Least I don't live there I suppose
It's already here. It's called sexual harrassment.
All you anti-american people make me laugh sometimes. You read a story like this then start getting these horrid ideas about the US.
Remember, we're the country that likes to sue! Mcdonalds lost money because some lady decided to put hot coffee between her legs. They didn't tell her to put hot coffee between their legs but it ended up being their fault.
A man breaks into a house and gets shot by the homeowner. He wins a settlement for being shot.
If the penalty for cursing were actually real our jails would be packed to the brim. I personally would be in there for years with the trash that comes out of my mouth sometimes. Hell, our entire military would be in jail.
And smoking was banned in all public places except the bars, bowling alleys (still being fought as it's a place of family), and your own home. So instead of sitting at Denny's for hours smoking we have to step outside every 20 minutes (Big whoopity doo). Atleast our smokes still only cost $3.5
Atleast it hasn't gotten to the point where I look out my window and see the kremlin everywhere with loudspeakers blaring propaganda 24/7. Yes we have our faults but I challenge anyone to find a faultless country.

Every American I've ever met has been really nice, but the country as a whole needs to look inward at it's government and laws and say "WTF?".
I can say this about alot of country's. In my position I get alot of people from over sea's who come and visit me. Part of our customer service is going to Cuba so we got a visit from them and the group was pretty cool. They even gave me a keychain.
My favorite people are the guys from Canon when they come over from China. We spend hours talking about cultures. One of those guys brought me a airport gift of a thousand soldiers statue which I keep at my desk.
In fact most of the people I've met from Europe have been really cool on a personal level.

Rabble.
The problem isnt that we read a story like that, we read several stories like that. Each and everyday, its ridiculus.
A women is getting sued for swearing... If we did that over on this side of the pond, I would be a very poor person (which I am, but thats another story )
*edited some spelling
Exactly what I'm getting at. Everybody over here swears. If this lady was really going to court for swearing and facing jail time then you'd think that everyone would be going to jail. The only thing I can think of would be misconduct in public or something.
Others have posted stories of chavs beating up kittens and urinating on old ladies while they're dieing but I don't automatically assume that the country is bad, it just has it's share of problems. That's the point I was trying to make.
