Will Americans sue for anything?
Americans are pretty excessive people. Sportsmen are the highest paid people on earth (especially in the US). I love my NBA but some of the players are so ridiculously rich and they flaunt it as well. They have many cars and live a mansion big enough to house the population of a small African 3rd world country.
Don’t get me wrong, money is good. I like having money but I think in some places the way money/wealth/fame is portrayed its breeding greed into its people.
There’s been some pretty bizarre law suits in the US, and for huge amounts of money. Like people suing tobacco companies and fast food chains because they claimed not to know what the product would do to them. And the person who sued a coffee outlet after spilling hot coffee on themselves and getting burnt. Now there is a man in Florida suing Microsoft for $US5 million because he says his xbox 360 has scratched, wait for it, two of his disks!! Go figure. But the US legal system has benefited many a strange lawsuit.
Even found a website that documents stupid lawsuit of the month. Priceless!
Hope I don’t get sued for bagging Americans.

While it would be nice to not have to worry about money, having so much money that it’s stupid is well stupid.
I am finally at a point where I can start saving and paying of debts that I have and still live relatively OK but I have done it hard for many years (hence the debt) but earning the mega millions of dollars that some earn, to me, is just weird and kinda wrong
