PuterTutor said:I think they should both be taken out back and shot. But then I think that should be the penalty of anyone that loses a civil lawsuit.
Maybe the judges should have a right to fine the plaintiff $10,000 plus court costs, if a lawsuit is frivolous, and if they appeal and lose, it's $20,000...etc.

Only in America...shit=lawsuit
You can sue for anything, anytime etc... I've seen shows where, after a bus accident had happened, people who weren't on the bus in the first place, climbed in so that they could be part of the lawsuit (Captured by a camcorder of another passerbye)
God bless America!

Old article, but still interesting. If it was like this 3 years ago, I wonder how bad it is now.

"Wal-Mart is a legend in American business, a 39-year-old retail dynamo that trails only ExxonMobil in annual revenue. But in America's courtrooms, Wal-Mart has another distinction: As the company's sales have soared, analysts say, it appears to have become the nation's most popular private-sector target for lawsuits.
By its own count, Wal-Mart was sued 4,851 times last year — or nearly once every two hours, every day of the year. Juries decide a case in which Wal-Mart is a defendant about six times every business day, usually in favor of the Bentonville, Ark., retail giant. Wal-Mart lawyers list about 9,400 open cases.
No one keeps a comprehensive list of all the nation's litigation, but legal analysts believe that Wal-Mart is sued more often than any American entity except the U.S. government, which the Justice Department estimates was sued more than 7,500 times last year. Dozens of lawyers across the United States now specialize in suing Wal-Mart; many share documents and other information via the Internet.
Wal-Mart, which promotes itself as a down-home friendly business, is helping change the nature of corporate litigation by aggressively fighting many cases even when it would be cheaper for the company to settle, analysts say.
The policy runs counter to the strategy of "settle quickly and cut your losses" that companies have used for generations. But it is paying dividends for Wal-Mart, which in the past five years has seen the pace of its lawsuits stabilize as potential plaintiffs and their lawyers opt not to sue after weighing the costs of fighting the retailer."
There is much more in the link below if you're interested, bored, or both.
