This is the classic struggle between conservative and liberal. The conservative view is that people need to be protected, even from themselves, but the liberal view (and one i strongly support) is that self-inflicted damage is only what you deserve. Those stupid enough to do something like this would only help the human race by dying and weeding themselves out of the gene pool.

Yes, it does. You can copy mp3's direct to the device.

The iPod also plays mp3's.

the iPod isn't an mp3 player, it plays AAC files.

Anyway, I think it's ridiculous too, you can sue someone for touching your car and legally win.

This sort of thing is everywhere these days. My sister has thought about making a claim against a bus company after she got ran over Christmas - yet she was the one in the road!

Hey remember the woman that sued McDonalds (I think) because she was holding her coffee in her lap and it spilled on her, burning her? She sued McDonalds for making their coffee too hot. Last time I checked unless you order iced coffee, you probably want your coffee hot.

People are too quick in this country to point the finger at others and not accept responsiblity for their own actions/stupidity. They are also, as Tony said, greedy bastards. :)

ya, talk about annoying! Greedy bastards.......

Remember that Wendy's scam? Some lady put her dead aunt's finger in a chili cup and sued.

The two that were involved have to pay a fine of like 25,000,000 to Wendy's now

But ya these cases are just stupid.
