Right. I have no problem paying legitimate claims but it seems there
are huge payouts if you are willing to wear a neck brace for a few weeks.

Ever watch Judge Judy?


JJ is entertainment, nothing more. If you think the real world is anything
like JJ, then you're not thinking clearly. Even if, and it's a longshot,
anything they say on the program represents reality, it's a corner case,
not the normal.

It's sad that anyone would draw conclusions about their fellow americans
based on a really stupid TV show.

It may be entertainment but it still shows a trend. They were real
court cases before the show. Ehat is stupis is the number of people
that get away with crap like that.


Actually, it doesn't show anything like a trend. Do you think
they would ever pick a boring case with no drama such as is the
reality of 99.9999% of court cases in the legal system? No, they
pick sensationalist cases that attract eyeballs; they're no different
than the National Inquirer or the Daily Mail; pure sensationalism.


You're taking selection bias to the extreme by applying anything
from that show to reality.
