Lawsuits are a joke in our society; everyone laughs about how frivolous they can be.
Well, today I heard two stories that make me laugh as well as cringe with embarrassment at our nation's lack of hesitance when it comes to suing each other.
I will only let you know about one of them, the one that urges me to write, to express how ridiculous things can be, and to ask you to raise our future generation to have common sense and compassion. Oh, and please don't teach them how to be idiots.
Like this woman. Her husband played Lotto throughout their marriage, and according to the article, she hated that fact. The man finally won-- he won 600,000 dollars from a pool he went in with his co-workers. Apparently he kept this fact from his wife and bought a house.
She's pissed. She doesn't like that she didn't know and she wants half of the winnings. The article does not allude to a job for the wife. There is no evidence that she works. As far as I know, she's a lazy old hag who got mad at her hard working husband for spending fifty cents on a pool for a Lotto ticket because he never won, but got even more mad when he won because he did not tell her right away.
I don't want to defend the husband because I don't really know if he was hiding it to surprise her, to leave her, or any number of things he wanted to do with the winnings. But I do have to say that what this woman is doing is ridiculous.
She is suing for her half of the winnings, the 300,000 dollars that she did not pay for and has no claim to other than the marital bonds.
If these marital bonds were the only factor, then yeah, she'd deserve to have a say in what happens to the money: in a marriage, you pretty much share everything. But she obviously has no sensitivity for the marital bonds. She says, and I quote:
"Right now, all I want is justice," Campbell said. "With time, I will file for divorce."
Yeah. She totally deserves half of the money. NOT. She wants JUSTICE: i.e. half of the money that she did not take part or interest in, and her main argument is that they are married. But she plans on filing for divorce.
After announcing that tidbit, how does this woman have any claim to anything of his? Maybe she has claims to the things they obtained together, but as far as I'm concerned, they are no longer a married couple. They are on paper... but not in any just or moral ways.
We are coming to a day where children will sue their mothers for not cleaning their rooms for them. Husbands will sue their wives for not allowing them to sleep with other people. And wives who want a divorce will sue their spouse for lottery winnings they had nothing to do with.
Please, citizens, I implore you, Raise your children with a sense of common decency, common sense, and common knowledge. Give them a moral base. And don't let them be greedy bitches when they are "all grown up."
It is your responsibility and your job as a parent to keep your kids from getting stupid and suing me in 20 years for the coffee I serve being too hot, or the fountain drink being too cold. Or for not giving my spouse who I hate and plan on divorcing half of the money I won with my own pocket change.
