Numbskull Says He’ll Sue His Parents for Giving Birth to Him

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Raphael Samuel in one of the posts on his Facebook page, Nihilanand, where he posts anti-natalist material suggesting that parents are 'hypocrites' 

He’s getting his 15 minutes of fame.

Is this comedy or tragedy? Or both?

Saying that having children is morally equivalent to “kidnapping and slavery,” a schnook in India says he’s going to sue his parents for giving birth to him without his consent (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6664843/Man-wants-sue-parents-giving-birth-without-consent.html). He has not made it clear how they might have gotten that consent.

He also thinks parents are wrong for “forcing it [the child] to have a career.” Well, heck, all sorts of people all over the world don’t have careers. Nobody’s stopping you, lackwit, from just being a bum.

Supposedly this jidrool is a leader in an “anti-natalist”–oh, boy, another new word!–movement whose aim is to convince people not to bear children. He has a web page called Childfree India. “We are a group of people who have decided not to reproduce,” he declares. “We are Childfree Indians!”

Huzzah.

I could understand if it was other people suing this guy’s parents for inflicting him on them. Any number of couples could be sued for giving birth to ninnies. But I think if I were a judge, I would fine him court costs and jail his lawyer for contempt: frivolous lawsuits waste the public’s money.

And now I think I’ve spent enough time today covering nooze. Next stop, cat video.

A Victim of… Musical Chairs

How could they? How could they force defenseless, fragile teenagers to participate in such a dangerous, demeaning activity as a game of musical chairs?

Well, that’s what happened at a tony private prep school in New York City, and it is now the subject of a lawsuit (https://nypost.com/2018/02/21/prep-school-sued-after-student-hurts-her-butt-during-musical-chairs/). It seems one of her classmates pulled the chair out from under her and she fell on her bum. And sustained incalculably horrific emotional damage.

According to the lawsuit, the school was way out of line in allowing–er, “forcing”–kids with “disparate physical skills and builds” to play a game together. For the  benefit of today’s college graduates, “disparate” means “different.” Kids should only be allowed to play games with those who have exactly the same physical skills and builds as they do.

Wouldn’t that make it kind of hard to get up a game of anything but solitaire? I mean, how many people do you know who have exactly the same physical skills and build as yours?

The only question that needs to be answered here is, who’s the biggest schmendrick–the lawyer or the parents?

California’s Bigfoot Threat?

No, I’m not making this up. A woman has sued the California Dept. of Fish and Wildlife and the Natural Resources Agency for refusing to recognize the existence of the Sasquatch, aka Bigfoot, and thereby leaving the state’s residents open to… “the threat of Bigfoot” (https://www.sfgate.com/weird/article/california-woman-suing-state-agencies-over-bigfoot-12610598.php). The lawsuit has been filed in San Bernardino Superior Court.

The state is falling apart at the seams, and they’ve got time to hear a Bigfoot suit?

“People are totally vulnerable to these things,” the woman says. She is described as “well-known in the Bigfoot community.” Great Scott.

I wonder what the state of California would consider a frivolous lawsuit.
