kill all the lawyers

inherent risks are involved with everything. driving, hiking, playing in the snow, flying, sex. if you have a loss and you will never be whole again it is easy to shoulder a cross that is specific for you loss. that being said you vision of what you think needs to change to prevent a similar loss. this is where things get very complex and emotional. invariably the injured looks for the deep pocket even if all common sense says "NOT". Those who suffer a loss may not be looking for compensation they just need to carry a cross thinking they are doing the right thing for every one else. they want to warn everyone that snow is slippery, that mountains are steep, that you could die. Well it is bullshit. you do not get to the places that will hurt you without seeing "IT", hearing about "IT" feeling "IT" in time to turn around and go back. When you chose to enter the Alpine winter scenerio, make that choice to risk injury ,DUH then live or die with that. closed ski area boundries are bullshit, there is not enough signs and bamboo to advise every snow sport enthuseist about every sharp stick 10 inches below the surface. I helped a guest one time who came in bleeding. she skiied over a sharp stick slicing a gash "near here vagina". she complained vehemently about this stick and that the area shopuld be out there cutting them all down. this was in a tree/ powder run. I am done ,, kill all the lawyers

If you killed all the lawyers, there wouldn't be anyone left here but the IT guys.

Sounds like she's not the only one with a gash "near here vagina."

Nevertheless, you make some excellent points. Off to kill myself!

Sounds like we need to kill the people who can't take responsibility for their own actions, not the lawyers. There's usually lawyers on both sides of the issue - the one you like, and the one you don't. For example, who do you think drafted Colorado's skier responsibility code, which is the sole reason that resorts can open interesting terrain without being sued everytime someone crashes? Lawyers. Fundamentally, a lawyer is just a means to an end; it's the client that decides they want to point a finger at someone else.

Holy fucking shit, pegleg. Did you just offer logic and soundly reasoned arguments? Dammit, I thought this thread was for baseless accusations and other forms of scapegoating of easy targets!

Lawyers are easy to hate. It's easy to take the acts of a few and do some loose-tolerance extrapolation to make the rare few = the whole. But hey, I don't want to fault someone for being intellectually lazy and taking the low road. That would be too much like exposing logical flaws, or something like that.
