Blog 2 Brad Duffy

NOTE: I searched and searched and searched and was unable to find the link to the situation I will be writing about.


The three things I took from this, is that your opinion no matter how much you may or may not like something, is not always the what you should base your thoughts on, on the other hand one mans trash is another mans treasure. I also will have to agree 100% that society in general is far more harsh then 10 years ago. Literally I have heard major legal lawsuits ranging from the classic finger in the Wendy's Chili incident to individual state governments, actually going against federal laws (California medicinal marijuana laws).

The most recent even I can think of that brings this article home, is about little girl whose mother allowed her to wander around a Dillards department store. In this case the little girl was wearing a dress and crawled onto the escalator, the dress got caught in the escalator and she lost a solid chuck of hair. The mother sued the department store for 1.2 million dollars(which she later wins). The mothers case went to the stores lack of safety, which resulted in her daughter loosing most of her hair. I personally think the mother should have left it alone and been happy all that resulted was some hair loss vs. a finger, however I feel that the Mother should have been the one to blame, but I guess with the right of money you can do anything.

  1. I agree it should have been the mothers fault. Like you stated she should have been happy that her daughter only lost hair rather then a body part. She is lucky her daughter didn't get abducted or something like that. The world today anything can happen. It is a vicious place.

  2. I also agree that the mother shuld have been keeping a better eye on her child. Dillards is not the best place to let your child roam around by themselves. The United States has been known to file lawsuits for just about anything now-a-days. Many foreign companies do not release their products to America until way after they have been released in other countries because Americans have the tendency to sue people whenever anything goes wrong.
