Gamblers Sue Casionos

[Hoober]

This is worse than fat people suing McDonalds...

People will try to sue for anything regardless of how stupid they may appear.

 

[ThaGrandCow]

I figured it would happen sooner or later. Don't worry, this will be thrown out of court. What's next... alcoholics suing beer companies for alcoholism?

I am suing Captain Morgan's. I drank a whole bottle of it last night - I thought bikini clad women were supposed to show up and party with me but all that happened was that I threw up all over the persian rugs...

Yaknow, everytime I see one of these frivilous lawsuits and I think about getting angry with the plaintiffs, I remind myself that there is a lawyer who took the case and a judge who allowed it to be heard, both of whom should know better. I think it's time we take the advice we were given a long time ago and string the fscking bastards up! :|

Until we as a society start teaching what *RESPONSIBILITY* means again and stop making everybody out to be victims this is not going to stop. We have generations being told that when bad/undesirable things happen to them it is through no fault of their own but the FAULT OF OTHERS (I.E. you are a poor victim). We need to educate the masses that the choices you make in life HAVE CONSEQUENCES! You are the one responsible for making the choices - and I know this is not a popular notion - but that means YOU are to blame for the outcome (good or bad) for those choices.

-sorry, end of rant.

Actually the story has a interesting little twist to it in case you didn't read it. The guy who is suing knew he had a problem and a friend of his asked the casino to intervene. The casino then banned the guy from the casino. Then 11 months later, they started mailing him coupons for free hotel nights and meals, and he went back and lost another $38,000.

The best customer is the irresponsible one. If he didn't learn his lesson the first time, no pity.

 

[conjur]

Been covered before

But, this appears to be an appeal. He'll lose again...what a loser.

 

[dolph]

the bill the indiana legislature is introducing isn't a bad idea, though...

 

[TheNinja]

What? you don't get your money back from a casino after you lose it?!? I thought this was just a pretend game and that after I lost a bunch of money I could just say "thanks for the fun but I'd like to go home now" and get my money back. Bastard casinos.

 

[CPA]

I wonder what this will do to the Governor of Illinois attempt to take over the casinos. Maybe this will make him rethink his position, otherwise the taxpayers could be in for a hell of a tax increase to cover these type of liabilities in the future.

 

[Vegito]

Im gonna have to sue Anand for having hot deals and me using it so often and buying stuff

 

[yoda291]

well, the russians persecuted the jews for selling alcohol to them....history hasn't changed man, just makes a long record of stupidity.

I'm pretty sure the judge was assigned to the case, and the article doesn't say whether it went to trial so he could've granted a motion to dismiss

 

[human2k]

Not only has this idiot lost his life savings from gambling, but also a sh!tload of cash he has to pay his lawyers for his worthless case that his Zero chance of winning. BTW how does he plan on paying the lawyers?



Cmon, those casino's have the best lawyers money can buy.

 

[tarheelmm]

Thats like people wanting to sue the cigarette companies because they smoke. Who would ever...o wait.......

 

[JeffreyLebowski]

So if i get a speeding ticket i can sue the automobile manufacturer because they made a car that would go over the speed limit.

 

[Nitemare]

It's always someone elses fault. There is no such thing as accountability for ones own actions in this day and age.
