This sort of odd ruling will only increase as the world population expands, unless people start to accept some responsibility for themselves, and their actions, instead of litigating their lives away.Kyle Leachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13369076904327452139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575743422154846162.post-87309712076882670672009-11-01T07:13:43.388+13:002009-11-01T07:13:43.388+13:00Yeah I get what you're saying Simon, it's ...Yeah I get what you're saying Simon, it's shameful that things have gotten so screwed up. Same in Queensland's gold coast, I remember reading they're talking about taking down all the coconut palms as they don't want to risk being sued from someone who gets hit in the head from a falling coconut. <br /><br />Freakin' ridiculous, everything is someone else's fault.

At least not until the next election!!<br /><br />Love<br />Dy78ilmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03235974882811483378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575743422154846162.post-25184757325537662812009-11-01T03:27:08.051+13:002009-11-01T03:27:08.051+13:00Simply because someone passes a criminal records c...Simply because someone passes a criminal records check does not mean they are not a pedophile. It just means they have never been caught if they are one. <br />I had my criminal check done a few years back so I could supervise the boys high school basketball team (all of which were twice my size)in the school gym for practices while the teachers were on a work to rule strike. <br />Now these are the same boys who were allowed to ride in my van to and from their away games without any checks on me whatsoever. <br />Never made sense to me that I could have one alone in my van with no checks but had to be checked to sit in the bleachers and make sure they didn't kill each other during practice in a school that was full of people.<br />Play Rangers? I'll watch my own kid thanks. They should be worried about law suits from parents whos kid get shoved by another while the official Rangers are in charge.Lori Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10775116608698555225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575743422154846162.post-11782424886195907192009-11-01T01:10:13.090+13:002009-11-01T01:10:13.090+13:00"Play rangers"?

You know what people are like. It makes perfect sense from their point of view.<br /><br />However the media may report it, this kind of behaviour is the result of an increasingly litigious public, not nutty councillors.Simon Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16515986779205716110noreply@blogger.com
