America is Sue Happy!!!
This is absolutely ridiculous, some idiot in California is actually trying to sue Apple claiming that the iPod is “inherently defective in design� and “not adorned with adequate warnings regarding the likelihood of hearing loss�.
What a bunch of Bull, I mean come on can’t anyone take responsibility for their own actions anymore. First the case where that woman sued McDonalds claiming they gave her coffee that was to hot, if your not smart enough to know coffee is hot then you should not be allowed to roam around free, you might hurt yourself, oh wait she did.
Have you ever heard of Generation Naming, you know Gen-X and the Baby Boomers, well there’s one generation they call “The Entitled Generation”. Let’s take that one step further, I think we should be called The Entitled Nation. Don’t get me wrong I love America and spend four years in the Marines defending her, and I would do it all over again without thinking about it.
However, I think this great nation or a large part of it anyways, has come to think the rest of the world owes them. It seems to be very rare that anyone nowadays wants to take responsibility for their own actions (I know I said that already, but its true). If someone hurts them selves then all they do is look for someone else to blame. There should be a clause in the Law, the stupidity clause, if you’re too stupid to know better than you can’t blame someone else for your mistake.
Don’t get me wrong I believe there is a distinct difference between stupidity and ignorance, and there is nothing wrong with ignorance. But if you something stupid, it’s no ones fault but your own.
So listen up America
Stop being stupid and take responsibility for your own actions.

I definitly agree with this. No one in America, except for a small percentage, knows how to take responsibility for their actions. Common sense is one of the things most people dont have. No one really understands why, but it really obvious. And yes, they do need to have a stupidity clause haha. That would really cut down on that amount of claims people make on each other. I mean, my god, if someone tells you the coffees hot, you really shouldnt drink it. Moron.
Great editorial.

Thanks for the response Adam, I’m glade I’m not the only one who thinks this way. Maybe there is still hope for this Country after all.
