I noticed another sign which brought to mind an interesting Comment On the Times.
So if I spill it on myself, how does that make the merchant responsible for my actions? There is no way the merchant could
know I would be that incompetent or that I would not expect it to be hot and take reasonable precautions to prevent myself
from harming my own body. And even if they did think I was incompetent and wouldn’t take precautions, should you ask
the clerk to decide who can buy a cup of coffee and who can’t?
If they could make that choice, I’m sure attorneys would never be served anything anywhere. They could bite their tongue
and sue!
I figure, once I paid for the product, it’s my product and my responsibility.
But today, with so many attorneys stalking anyone with anything of value and courts that do not dispense justice, children
become criminals by skating.
Now I’m not saying that they should be given permission to skate everywhere. Unfortunately, they lack responsibility and
damage other,s property. They also skate where good sense would tell them it’s dangerous and they shouldn’t.
My point is that a person is responsible for their own actions.
I recommend that the courts examine the habit of not holding the consumer
responsible, of not holding the incompetent person responsible for being
incompetent.
I don’t believe criminals that get injured while committing a crime on your property
have any right to sue.
I believe that for the courts to allow this to happen encourage crime.
When the election of judges comes up, the question of responsibility should be
brought up.
Failure to hold the injured person responsible is like communism where everyone
works for the state and no one can get ahead without the government taking it away
and giving it to someone who doesn’t work. Only this form of social illness is done
by the courts and fed by greedy attorneys.
This area is broad. It extends to every area of business. Doctors, contractors,
insurance agents, anyone with some income or something of value must carry insurance to guard against tremendously
expensive litigation.
A man’s house is no longer his castle. It is a thing he has to protect from the courts, attorneys, the government and other
rip-off artists!
So if you are ever in a spot to sue someone, stop and think! Who’s really responsible?
The answer almost one hundred percent of the time is “You are!”
If it’s a criminal matter, go ahead and stand up for your rights but don’t tread on someone else’s right.
But change has to start somewhere. Make that change start with you. You do make a difference. Every one of us who steps
up a little in being responsible helps and if enough people do this, the world would be safer for all of us.

In today’s world, at least in the United States, businesses, schools, cities and
even individuals have to take precautions against lawsuits because someone
hurts themselves on your property.
There are, perhaps, a few situations where the truly dangerousness of someone’s
property would make them liable for someone else’s injury but I find that a stretch
of the imagination.
Whatever happened to a person being responsible for their own actions?
If I walk into the store and slip, did the store cause me to do this? NO!
I did it.
There was a case where someone bought coffee, then spilled it on their own body
and sued in a court and won damages against the business that sold them the
coffee!
Now anytime I buy a cup of coffee, I very well expect it to be hot! I’d be dissatisfied
if it was not.

By the way, skateboarding is not illegal!
