Just been reading about a man in India ( well off as both parents are lawyers ) who is trying to sue his parents for not asking his permission to " create " him before he was born ..maybe he should move to America and ask if he could have been aborted at birth !!!!!!   Soooo much insanity in this world   

 

Mumbai business executive Raphael Samuel argues that creating people without their consent is wrong.

Let’s say that someone, without asking your permission in advance, kidnapped you and brought you to a new country where your life would be noisy, confusing, and full of suffering. That seems like something you could sue for, right?

Now let’s say that the way they did this was by giving birth to you.

That’s (approximately) the logic of Raphael Samuel, a Mumbai business executive suing his parents for creating him. He told the BBC that he’s been obsessed since he was a small child with the question of why his parents were entitled to create him without his consent. Because it’s not possible to ask children for consent before they are created, he argues, it’s wrong to have them at all.

Samuel’s suit looks unlikely to get anywhere in India’s courts. The BBC reports that he’s been unable to find a lawyer to take his case, and his parents, both lawyers, have responded in good humor: “She said that’s fine,” Samuel said of his call to his mother with the news he was suing her, “but don’t expect me to go easy on you. I will destroy you in court.”

  If I brought him into the world and he has a problem with that, I can easily take him out of the world and much less trouble than his mother had bringing him into the world

Problem solved.

My son mentioned something about this the other day. I was preoccupied and distracted at the time so not really following much of what he said. I was thinking an American (we have enough crazy ones) but I guess it might have been this story. I'll have to tell him of reading this at Worthy.

If this doesn't work out, I bet he'll whip out a suit on "defamation of character" on his parents and whatever news outlets have reported this.

Which will also ultimately fail, as he defames his own character.

Dude couldn't just jump in front of a moving vehicle like all of the other money schemers though, lol.

I just had a quick shower, so it didn't take as long to dry myself, as I wasn't as wet as usual!;)

Thanks for giving me the best laugh of the day!   Also, enjoyed the others' posts, too.   Maybe he just wants his 15 minutes of fame that Andy Warhol talked of....but somehow I think he is serious.
