Should Nintendo be sued because some kid played it for 80 hours straight and messed up his thumb? Should Ford be sued because a dumbass left his kid in the car and suffocated because Ford doesn't make "warning devices" to let you know when you forget your child in a car? See where I'm going with this?

I sure do. Why not sell automatic weapons and flamethrowers to the general public? Its not the weapons fault if they kill someone, its up to each of us, right? So whats the deal with not being allowed to possess tanks and bombs and stuff? Talk about restrictive legislation, right?
Pretty narrow view in my opinion to say that everyone is responsible for their own actions, all the time, completely ignoring the fact that business/media interests actively seek to mould and shape your choices on a continual basis. Assuming we all have 'free-will' outside of what we've been told by thousands of commercials, movies, tv shows, etc. might be erroneous.
Not to say we have no control at all, but to imply everyone has an equal shot at making the right or wrong decision may tend to ignore their upbringing and influences. [/b][/quote]
Are you freaking joking? You're trying to say that you should be able to sue Tim Horton's because your coffee was hot? Sue McDonalds for making people fat? Sue a car company because they didn't have the vision to forsee your stupidity? Give me a frickin' break! TAKE RESPONSIBILITY! It has nothing to do with selling flame throwers or tanks, that an absurd comparison. I'm talking about common sense things here and the downfall of society due to peoples lack of morals and a spine.
