That's like an alcoholic suing MD 20/20 or Thunderbird because they drank. Give me a break....I hope it gets thrown out of court.

Hey, taking responsibility for her own actions isn't going to get those bills paid off . . .

I don't get it, so a casino which is in the business of taking away your money, house, etc should stop her from gambling? If she had won 3million at the tables should they not pay her because the dealer's feet hurt?
She needs to stop contemplating suicide and pull the trigger! Then her heirs could sue S&W for making the gun!

Let me summarize her theory: "I'm an idiot and have no self control. And it's all your fault." Sounds good to me.

The poor girl has had years of education where the emphasis was on her self-image, rather than logical argument.

Isn't this all a result of the Bush administration's emphasis on greed and corruption...
Yeah that's it, it is "W's" fault! I still think her suicide thoughts are the right ones...

- I was driving along and the tire just "blew up'. It has to be defective. The fact that you hit a pothole at 70mph has nothing to do with it. - What do you mean the MMI control is going to cost $1000 ?!?! The truck is 3 weeks old ? Yes it is but Budweiser isn't original equipment from Germany. The "defective beer" didn't spill on the MMI controls all on it's own. And the one that takes over the Number 1 spot from "Doesn't my lease cover that ?" is: (phone call) - Hi, I'm driving one of your cars and I had an accident. How do you guys take care of that ? It's one of our loaner cars ? - No, I lease the car from you so it's your car. Do you have a contract with a body shop that can fix the car ? Um, no mam. It's your car. You make the payments, you pay the insurance. Your lease is merely your contract with the finance company. Free body shop repairs are not included in any lease I've ever heard of. I can recommend a body shop for you. I drive the car but it's your fault for any single thing that happens to it.......

Not that I have any feelings of support towards the lawyer lady, but.......
How is this any different than the tobacco company lawsuits? Courts have held again and again that smoker's addiction is at least partially the tobacco company's responsibility....

I don't know the details of the tobacco litigation, but at least those cases involved deception by the tobacco companies. Maybe the tobacco plaintiffs didn't deserve compensation, or maybe they did, I don't know, but the tobacco companies definitely deserved to pay. I don't see the same logic applying to casinos, unless there is more to the story.

I don't think casinos will be paying class action awards until there's a genetic/medical link that gambling is an addiction caused by placing poker chips between your fingers. Tobacco companies knowingly misinformed everyone about the addictive qualities of tobacco. I haven't read the surgeon general's report on poker chips yet..
