First of all, Graziano is a Marine that has been to Iraq. I seriously doubt his parents had any say so in whom he was hanging out with.

Second, how the fuck do you know whether or not a seatbelt would have changed the outcome? Are you fucking clairvoyant? With that impact he could have hit his head on anything in the car and still have a closed head injury. Same result. Sure, he absolutely should have been strapped in. But unless I missed it, you are not a biomechanical engineer that has studied his injuries and the car wreckage and rendered an expert opinion stating that the absence of a seatbelt is what caused his vegetative state.

Third, your playground analogy is idiotic. For your information dumbass, there are regulations and guidelines on the manufacture and placement of playground equipment. Unless those regulations are deviated from in some shape or fashion there is no case against the manufacturer and/or the playground. You don't just go file a lawsuit without knowing these things because they are too expensive to bring. You have no clue what costs are involved in a lawsuit.

I'm not even going to address how fucking stupid your drug dealer example is other than to say I hope you get caught in the crossfire but the bong is not damaged.

Fourth, since this kid was active duty I'll bet the U.S. government has been picking up the tab on a lot of his meds. He is probably on Social Security Disability and Medicaid now. The government gets repaid out of any settlement. If the kid's guardian didn't bring suit against the Hogans you can believe the U.S. Attorney General's office would do so to recoup some of the bills.

Fifth, you're talking out of your ass. On one hand you want parents to take responsibility for their kids' actions ala Graziano and the swingsets of America's playgrounds, but yet you never mention the Hogans' recklessness in repeatedly giving their teenager cars he could not drive and alcohol he could not handle.

Here's a lesson for you: Recklessness trumps carelessness.

BTW, aren't you the one that followed the Mercedes guy around at TX2K8 snapping pictures of him after your buddy had a run in with him and then proceeded to put those pictures all over the web ?

I guarantee that if your buddy had crashed his Audi and crippled your ass the last motherfucking words out of your mouth would be "Tough shit, I deserved what I got".

So yeah, your opinion means a lot.

Well said.
