So I read that "Eve-Player-Lawyer-International Treaty-Discussion" about a class action suit on CCP, and I realized that some people don't live in the US, and though they know the lawsuit issue is crazy, the don't know just HOW crazy.
To make a long story short, we had a particularly unsavory fellow at my HOA with some rather illegal habits. On one of his more successful binges, our friend got it in his mind to throw his refrigerator down the stairs of his unit, breaking two steps in the process. A couple of hours late, the HOA repaired the steps to keep anyone from getting hurt.
Our lovely friend decided to sue the association about a month after the fact, claiming that he had hurt his back tripping on one of the broken steps. When speaking with out insurance agent, she informed me that "we KNOW he's lying, and we understand that he broke the step which he claims injured him, however it is costly to pursue this issue into court, and therefore we have paid his claim in the ammount of $50,000 plus medical bills."
There's something seriously twisted of course, not in people wanting free money, but in the people who get it.
There was one guy in Los Angeles who fell through an improperly installed skylight while trying to ROB a home and was paid damages for his injuries.
Not sure what my point is, other than you can't truly blame the small minds drooling over their perceived lottery ticket.
On a side note, the lady who sued McDonnalds won because the coffee was TOO HOT, and McDonnalds had not taken care to assure that the hot beverages they served were safe. They still don't, hence the labels to protect them rather than spend $20 a store to regulate coffee temperatures.

Problem is the stupid ass general American public.
The commercials for the ambulance chasers, to quote one: 'Get your money, faster!'
YOUR MONEY? since when?
This is the American mentality, the country is run by jews and lawyers getting rich preying on people that think they are 'due' something.
This, coming from an American. It disgusts me....

You realise that exact same scenario plays out just the same in every country.. Just replace Jews (sometimes.. ) with the local flavor of pennypinchers.. If it seems Americans have it worse then blame the media for airing out all our dirty laundry to anyone with a buck to spend on the ad space..

Don't forget the guy who stepped on a skateboard and fell on his back while attempting to rob a home.
I believe he sued over "restraint of trade".

This is what 50 years of nearly unchecked 1950's and 60's liberalism gets you folks. Greedy people only wanting to get "what's mine". The rules, good taste and any sense of honor be damned.
I may be as ****ed off as anyone else here about all the crap with Trinity (see the link in my sig), but I wouldn't DREAM of a Class Action against CCP over a game patch.
Sadly, there are people who would think of it, and there are probably lawyers looking into the viability of it right now. this is why we need a culture shift in America towards a more traditional culture and more conservative laws.*
*please note, by "liberal" I mean American liberalism, as defined by 60's radicalism and Ted Kennedy, and by "conservative" I mean American conservatism, defined by Ronald Reagan and Rush Limbaugh.
P.S. As an American Conservative, I find the Anti-Semitic crap in the second comment to be vile and unnecessary. How much would it cost to roll back to RevII CCP?

Yeop it is Jews, they are ALL in control of money. And, do not forget the Blacks, they are a lazy bunch, who only want to rob you at gunpoint. Oh, almost forgot them Arabs, they are all terrorists.
Did I live anyone out of your bigotry? Jesus, H Christ, get a hold of yourself.

The entire law suit thing is ********. Hell, I installed a new video card last night, and the resulting install had me spending 4 more hours trying to fix my computer so it would boot after it was saying it wasn't able to boot and hardware failure. I'm certainly not going to sue ATI over the lost time.

Isn't it American Conservatism that loves big business, corporations and milking money out of anything despite any ethical considerations? Invading countries for there crude oil deposits springs to mind.
That said your post is so full of fallacies that I almost choked up a hair ball.

That, plus we do have a larger population than most other countries with our level of technology. So, more people does equal more stupid people, even if the percentage of idiots to non-idiots is the same as other places. It's also a lot easier for the stupid people to do things that make them more obvious. Throw in amount of internet we have, and you-tube just does the rest.

No. You are confusing conservatives with Republicans. Despite what that media at large is feverishly trying to convince you, they are not the same thing.

Let's be honest here, folks. CCP screwed up, and not all of its customers are going to know how. They will take their computers to computer repair specialists and be charged money to correct CCP's disgusting, blinding incompetence (which is exactly what the boot.ini debacle is). Customers have a right to ask for compensation where a company's ignorance cost them money.

Because the word "American" is in the title with a slightly derogatory sounding implication.

It's a horrible problem in America, and we have ambulance chasing trial lawyers like John Edwards getting rich suing doctors. And then your health insurance goes up.
It used to be that you would get ahead by working hard - now you get ahead by playing the lottery or suing someone for something that was your own fault.
Quote: There was one guy in Los Angeles who fell through an improperly installed skylight while trying to ROB a home and was paid damages for his injuries.
Seriously, people like that should be shot.
Oh and to the guy complaining about the jews - they are a subset of the population that *actually* gets out there and works.

The guy is obviously an a$$hat, but besides implying some thing racist he didn't really say anything. Stereotypes wouldn't exist if they weren't true on some level. ------------------------------------- You are all worthless, and weak.

^ this.
I hate people going all politically-correct on everybody's ass the split second they detect the words that might be used offensively by somebody (even if in this particular case they weren't) just as much as I hate those that intentionally use them excessively.
Like somebody said somewhere, I really can't remember where, you can call somebody a racist for calling "the blacks" lazy, but you are one hell of an idiot to call somebody a racist because he says somebody is lazy if that person happends to be black (and is actually lazy). 1|2|3|4|5. |

Anyone that thinks people are so radically different from country to country, or think things like "I'm glad that doesn't happen in my country" are just plain wrong. It's not an America problem, it's a human race problem.
