Stupid people strike again.

I think we should be allowed to counter sue stupid people like this....for example this court case probably pushed back a very important case wasting everyones time. What do you think? I mean since people can sue for any reason why not just join in the fun! Lets sue everyone!

The parents are ultimately responsible for what their kids do.

How did the kids get the weapons from the locked room?

And you would think that at the age of 14 and 16, you would at least *know* that shooting someone like this would be wrong.

Lets face it, Sony has deeper pockets than ma and pa of the two fucktards. That's why the lawyers filed against Sony.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Hm, lets see....
Lets launch a suit against the US military for thier game and promoting shooting people in the aid of government agendas....

Or, I know, Command And Conquer for isnpiring the use of tanks and C4 on buildings....I'm sure Tom Clancy should get sued for his book Debt of Honour inspiring Al Queda to fly into buildings!

Lets see if we can play "Six Degree's of Lawsuit" see how tortured a connection you can make to sue someone for something.

Half the time they don't even check for IDs! They just hit enter to get past the message to get the line moving along faster. Going by their logic, Wal-Mart is just as liable because they sell the damn things to underage kids! :roll:

I say it's irresponsibility on both the teens' and the parents' parts. But of course, who are you going to get millions from if you blame it on that?
