I love this country but one thing I really find absolutely ridiculous are those lawsuits…Someone trips over a sand toy in a park, breaks his nail and all of a sudden there is a twenty million lawsuit!!!! (WARNING: this is a hypothetical case. Please do not try to duplicate that).

Here is an email that my friend sent me the other day. UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Just wait until you get to #1…..

CZ: Miluji Ameriku ale jednu vec, kterou tezce snasim jsou nesmyslne soudni procesy!!! Nekdo zakopne v parku o hracku na pisek, zlomi si nehet a je z toho 20 milionovy soud (UPOZORNENI: Nesnazte se tuto hypotetickou situaci prosim duplikovat. Dekuji)! To neni mozne!! Jen pockejte, az si prectete, co mi poslala jedna ma kamaradka. A POCKEJTE, az si prectete cislo 1:

Annual Stella Awards

For those unfamiliar with these awards, they are

named after 81-year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled hot coffee on herself and

successfully sued the McDonald’s in New Mexico , where she purchased coffee.

You remember, she took the lid off the coffee and put it between her knees

while she was driving. Who would ever think one could get burned doing that,

right? That’s right; these are awards for the most outlandish lawsuits and

verdicts in the U.S. You know the kind of cases that make you scratch your

head. So keep your head scratcher handy Here are the Stellas for this past

year — 2012

* SEVENTH PLACE

* Kathleen Robertson of Austin , Texas was awarded $80,000 by a jury of her

peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running

inside a furniture store. The store owners were understandably surprised by

the verdict, considering the running toddler was her own son. Start
