If that were true, McDonalds and Burger King would not have been sued by
people spilling commonly known hot beverages in their laps. We might have a
foundation here for a class action lawsuit. Hmmm.

(I wonder ... if my kid burns his hand on the stove, who would I sue: the
stove manufacturer, the electric company, the installer, the supplier, the
interior designer, the landlord? After all, our (US) court system has pretty
much accepted we are not responsible for our own actions these days.)

None of the above. Your wife was the one who
left the stove unattended while the burner was
hot. :-D

Ah - no good. She would have grounds for a countersuit since I (presumably)
had something to do with the conception and there would undoubtedly be a
jury out there willing to listen to a liar ... er, lawyer argue the kid
wouldn't have burnt his hand if he hadn't been conceived in the first place.

Well then your parents should be sued for concieving you as they made you
etc.

Why not just everyone sue everyone. Wait in America they do do that.

The infamous "McDonald's coffee case" is definitely *NOT* an example of
frivolous lawsuits.
