I don't know if you saw or not, but when the news came out that he was suing the webmaster told every person that donated, and something like 75% of the people withdrew their money.

I have long since lost the link, but I think it also talks about how one person donated a whole lot of money but then took it back once he sued... Idiot kid...

Does it matter? It is still "his party" that is suing. The people that donated did not want to support the plantive since he went the same way as so many other greedy sue-hungry people.

that's rediculous. it would be like being friends with albert einstein, then breaking up with him when the u.s made atom bombs simply because of something he discovered.

umm no, its not like that, you see, his parents, sued for money, when everyone was donateing money, i would have done the same thing as everyone else, pull back my donation

That analogy didn't make sense to me.

the point is: abandoning an unrelated party when someone superior over them does something that others find distasteful is pointless.

How is the kid unrelated? He will be the primary witness for the case. It is HIS "pain and suffering" that is the grounds for the suit. And it is doubtfull that his parents are going to keep all the money since it is HIS "pain and suffering."

So the suit is Sir. Dork and Sir Dork's party, not an unrelated party.

If I am giving you money, and your parents decide to sue me on your behalf, you can bet your little booties that I will stop sending you money.

What kind of retard wouldn't stop sending money.

Yeah, it's old, but, I tell ya, people will sue for anything these days. It's like "Hey, I got a papercut, I'll sue Xerox!" Jesus christ, it's the kids fault anyways, WHY did he tape himself doing those things?

Some old retired guy where I used to live would drive around a city block all day and when he saw somebody cross the street, he would get out and yell at them and sue them for jay-walking. Never underestimate the power of a man with a lot of spare time. Half the time he actually won.
