Be irresponsible, and get a check! This is on MSN's homepage. It's that bad of a decision.

gotsport, I can only hope that was sarcasm, but I fear it was not. Personal responsibility should be the basis for all actions, public and private. No one's job to keep you safe from your own stupidity. Not to mention criminality.

A clear case of ambulance chasing !

See. Crime pays. They trespassed, got hurt and won millions.......our system is so screwed up.

This was, agreeably, a very hard lesson for these boys to learn, but let it be a lesson for the masses of youth. Don't commit a crime, and that includes trespassing. You could get hurt because you don't know what you are doing. EMPLOYEES of the RR knew about the danger, and thus, avoided it.

Why do kids think we have NO TRESPASSING signs posted in places? To PROTECT people from dangers they aren't aware of - oh, and did I mention, to keep people off PRIVATE PROPERTY?! 17 - old enough to have simply known better. I hope to see this judgement reversed. I really do.

Gotta love Shakespeare, hahaha......
Thing is, we curse them, until such a time we find we really need one.

True, but lawyers as a group have hurt common people far more than they have helped them.

A friend's young daughter was seriously injured some years ago on another person's property. The property owner's insurance offered $100,000 in compensation, but my friend's wife was convinced to sue. After literally years of litigation, the lawyers tried very hard to get my friend to settle for LESS than $100,000 to be paid to the victim; of course my friend flat-out refused. It got nasty with his own lawyer, but my friend finally got the full $100,000 for his daughter. After years of delays and thousands upon thousands of dollars spent on lawyers, my friend received not one cent more than he was originally offered. All this at the personal cost of years of frustration.
