Default Re: Space Empires V or ridiculous lawsuits? What is the connection?

Fyron, your one sided view of freedom sets my teeth on edge.

Restricting my right to knock your block off for your damn narrow views is another sure path to tyranny.
I fail to see what is so narrow about it... you have to be allowed to make a case. What some people were advocating is to not even allow people to make certain classes of cases. This is what I said would be a bad thing. I never once said that no cases should ever be thrown out of court. Frivolous lawsuits should be thrown out. But, some people were advocating doing something along the lines of setting up specific rules for what cases can and can not even be made to a court. A case has to be made in the first place to be thrown out, you know. They have to at least state what the case is to the judge. You just misinterpreted what I said.

Yes everyone has the right to initiate a lawsuit but they sure don't have the right to steal money from my pockets (ie. tax dollars) by being allowed to proceed with frivolous lawsuits. Judges should and must throw out those frivilous ones. Most countries have no trouble finding the frivolity line.
Most frivolous lawsuits do get thrown out. There are just a lot of them, and a lot of judges out there, so some leak through.
