This will be an ongoing thread for all of the great stories we hear such as not keeping score at the soccer game, people suing mcdonalds for being fat, parents suing the school bc their kid got stung by a bee, etc. When you make mistakes, it's not your problem, it's someone else's.

here goes w/the first one of the day:

so basically, these people were racing the train. the family is blaming the railroad industry for not having larger signs, lights, and crossbars that come down.

"This is a dangerous place and you [Railroad Commish] need to do something about it," grandfather Donald Moyers said. "I'm going to go on a crusade."

SAMPSON COUNTY, N.C.

On the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, students at one high school were not allowed to wear clothes with an American Flag. Under a new school rule, students at Hobbton High School are not allowed to wear items with flags, from any country, including the United States.

The new rule stems from a controversy over students wearing shirts bearing flags of other countries.

Gayle Langston said her daughter, Jessica, was told to remove her stars and stripes t-shirt.

Today she wanted to wear her shirt, and I had to tell her no, said Langston. She didn't like it at all because I knew it would get her in trouble. Of all days, 9/11, she could not wear her American Flag shirt.

The superintendent of schools in Sampson County calls the situation unfortunate, but says educators didn't want to be forced to pick and choose which flags should be permissible.
