That is correct.Quote:

Well the basis of any 1st world legal system is that victims get compensated, so that is no flaw.. the flaw is more in the views and definition of what constitutes an eligible victim.Quote:

That's a fair statement and I never wanted to imply that Europeans would have it all figured. In regards to litigation risk though, it works far better as common sense would always come first..Quote:

I lived in Germany for 6 years and have fond memories of my time there. I do get a little exhausted hearing from folks who try to make 'apples' to 'apples' comparisons between societies and governments with very real differences.
Yeah, you can't get sued for stuff like this because we aren't allowed to do anything to begin with. The few caves we have are closed by the nanny a-holes that run the country.Quote:
