Why don't Americans take responsibility for their own lives and their own choices? With ridiculous lawsuits regularly in US news, this week there's a new one and it involves a 51-year-old American guy who's suing the makers of online video game "Lineage II" because it made him "addicted". Craig Smallwood says playing the "Lineage II" continually, left him unable to communicate with family, dress and bathe himself, or do any of the daily activities the rest of us do, as he was so addicted to "Lineage II". So, just like the idiot who sued McDonalds when she spilled hot coffee in her crotch, this fool is suing NCSoft Corp, the makers of the game.
When I moved to the US years ago, one of the first things I figured out about American culture was it was one of "blame someone else for my problems". With Americans going to psychiatrists en masse, to talk about their current problems being because of something their parents did to them or a family friend, babysitter or person that stared at them funny 10 years before, that type of not taking responsibility for their own lives soon morphed into going the legal route.
Ridiculous lawsuits in America soon skyrocketed, with one woman suing McDonalds (and winning - which shows you how willing other Americans are to blame someone else for another person's problems), another guy sued Budweiser because he didn't get beautiful women (you know, the Budweiser commercials show that you can!), and one more fool, sued a dry cleaner for $65 million because they lost his pants.
So, it's not altogether surprising 51-year-old Craig Smallwood has seen his lawsuit opportunity. After playing the online video game "Lineage II' for six years, Smallwood has now decided its NCSoft Corp's fault he can't get off his ass, take a shower, eat some food and engage in conversation with his family members any more.
What's even worse than Craig Smallwood's stupidity is Judge Alan Kay who, after a law firm asked him to dismiss the case, ruled he was allowing the lawsuit against the "Lineage II' manufacturers to continue. So Craig Smallwood is suing NCSoft Corp for "negligence, gross negligence, and negligent infliction of emotional distress". As someone who should know better, Judge Kay should be ashamed of himself.
But hey, if I'd known it was this easy to make some money from the pitiful mistakes I've sometimes made in my life, I would have sued Dunkin' Donuts when we first moved to America, as I became addicted to their lunch of a bowl of thick pea soup, hunks of bread and two gorgeous donuts, and gained 10 lbs. Or how about suing the guy I side-swiped in my Honda CRX? After all, it was his fault I didn't look properly before I pulled out, he should have been driving a brighter colored car.
What absolutely infuriates me about these idiots who file frivolous lawsuits is, unlike the acts other idiots commit, this one actually affects me. As an avid video game player, and one who's played "Lineage II" on and off, I hate that I'll probably end up having to pay more money for online video game playing, simply so the company being sued by Craig Smallwood can pay what will likely be humongous legal costs.
And as for Craig Smallwood, well, really all you can say about somebody like that is "Grow up and start taking responsibility for your own actions. It's idiots like you that are a big cause of what's wrong with America today. The blame-anyone-but-me-for-my-actions syndrome" Sickening.
