sgt.waffles

When i watched this i was thinking "first people are sueing Mcdonalds because there too fat, and now this dumb*** tries to sue god?", i mean how many more outrageuos useless sues are going to be filed?! I mean honestly.... GOD.... COME ON!..... this man is either in desperate need of money or is just plain stupid... I wonder how good gods lawyer is... i mean if he looses this case, i dont believe in his powers anymore...

I know, right!

Supposedly, he's doing it to, quote, <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20827350/from/ET" target="_blank">"make the point that anybody can file a lawsuit against anybody."</a>

In short, it's not a serious lawsuit. It's a statement.

I think he was serious, he was blaming god for 9/11, all the natural disasters and so forth and the lawyers even said it was an elligible case that your going to take up to the high court (i think he means congress) or did he just say court?

lolfighter

Well, to quote the relevant passages (emphasis added by me):

[...]<b>Chambers says</b> he’s trying to make the point that anybody can file a lawsuit against anybody. <b>Chambers says</b> in his lawsuit that God has made terrorist threats against the senator and his constituents, inspired fear and caused “widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth’s inhabitants.”

<i>And under the heading "Suit in protest":</i>
<b>Chambers said</b> the lawsuit was triggered by a federal suit filed against a judge who recently barred words such as “rape” and “victim” from a sexual assault trial.


Sounds like a statement to me. I don't know whether he's intending to go through with the case as far as he can get, but it doesn't like the reasons stated in his suit are the actual reasons he's suing. I don't want to be snide, but did you read the article I linked?

God is in all of us, so they can just subpoena any human or animal to represent God in the case. They may want to use a crazy ranting homeless person who claims he's God though. Or Alanis Morisette, like in the movie Dogma.

If Alanis Morisette is homeless then we're set, really.

Morgan Freeman is God, both in the movie Bruce Almighty and in real life.

schkorpio

he's probably just some dumb guy that watch the billy connelly movie "The Man Who Sued God" and it gave him a great idea!

UltimaGecko

Why can't we just refine our litigation laws already. Especially the 'you may not sue a man for anything under the value of $40' (or whatever it was). They really need to raise the to $500 or something, it was written 200 years ago, when $10 could buy you far more than it can now (even worse would be the 1840 dollar, worth far more than the 1800 dollar).

The fact that the stretch of television from noon until 5pm is filled with crappy civil cour judges is ridiculous; those people should not have such prominent jobs.


Before anyone brings of the McDonald's coffee: it was heated too hot, it melted her pants and scalded her, which is much hotter than coffee should be when given to a customer...despite the fact that usually you avoid pouring boiling coffee on your lap.

lolfighter

Supposedly, the coffee melted THE CUP. Well, actually, I think it's more like "softened it to the point where it broke apart."

Insane

What I want to know is what's frivolous about complaining that the words "rape" and "victim" have been banned from a <i>sexual assault trial</i>.

What next? Mother sues unborn fetus for physical damages and uncontollable vomitting?

Depends <u>entirely</u> on the context.

"I'm the victim here!"
"Err, establishing that is the point of this trial. Please refrain from making unproven assertions."
"But I was raped by that man!"
"Again, that hasn't been proven."

Incidentally, does anyone have any info on what the actual context IS? Or for that matter, what was so frivolous about the lawsuit that prompted this?

That lots of people are money grubbing insects who wish to try to sue anyone for the slightest offense... and i agree, someone should write a letter explaining to them that they should raise the amount to be sued for to like nothing under 500 dollers.

People these days....

lol, that's the most pathetic excuse to call someone a "retard" that i've ever heard in my entire life.

So now, thinking differently makes you a "retard" lol, wow, i never thought i'd see the day when people were insulted for what they think about something.

People get insulted for what they think about things all the time. Hell, people get KILLED for their opinions in some places. Be glad you're only getting insulted.
