I don't get how your system works. Here there's a limit on the money you can get for moral damages. A friend of mine got almost killed in a fight and received maybe 20k

How is it legal to complain about Confederate flag? Aren't you free to wave it or it's a hate crime symbol?
Wyatt Scott

>EU flag mistaken for 'terrorist' flag
I see nothing wrong here.
Logan Clark

Here you can sue over every single little bullshit that occurs. There’s a reason we don’t trust one another.

you can complain about whatever, but nothing will happen in this case. it's legal to fly it.
Aaron Garcia

Neither do most Americans, which is how you can get sued even if you weren't the one in the wrong. I have to imagine it gets to a point where some people sue before the other side has a chance to sue to protect themselves.

Unironically not surprised.

Yeah but how did they know it was a norway flag then? They didn't reject it right away but tried to find out more about the flag
Julian Sanchez
I realize that murrifats are pretty retarded, but refuse to believe they're really that retarded.
The wrong thing here is that USA is №1 terrorist in the world.
Oliver Martinez
Sad to say but the universal retardness in Americans is accentuated by their enlarged selfroughteousness and entittlement
When you ask an american what they think of X they will anwser even if they have no idea what X is
Charles Nelson
But... Do they really?
Jackson Thompson
americunts probably kicked out a malaysian woman out of some event and treated her like some terrorist ´till they decided to listen to her and google
by which time it was too late and the women is forever permabanned from countless things and in plenty of anti terrorist lists by US intelligence services
Juan Johnson
Perhaps one of the muttoids had enough brain to recognize the flag

Americans have homeowner associations, basically retired boomers micromanaging neighborhood, and enter all kind of bullshit legal agreement on how must look their home to every lastl blade of grass

your universities are shitting thousands of lawyers every years, they're so numerous there's a heavy concurrence between them and they prospect and advice people to sue for any little shit like the neighbour's dog walking on your lawn (a case a friend living in USA for a few month actually saw happening)
Owen Harris

Yes that's the problem, it's a self-feeding loop. They tell young people "go to law school, you'll make lots of money as a lawyer." And then you end up with a surplus of law school graduates, and in order to accommodate that all, you need more people suing each other. So if you have more people suing each other, more money for lawyers, and more people drawn to the profession.
But of course nobody's going to point out the problems with this system, even though it hurts people more than helps them, and advocate for change so that the court system isn't just turned into another corrupt branch of crony capitalism.

At least Americans can fly other nations' flags.

When I went to go vist my Grandparents which is a more older area one of the houses was flying a confederate flag and I just didn't understand.

The big lawsuits in America are against companies. When they successfully sue a company, they have to pay a sum that is big enough to actually feel like a punishment. A company wouldn't change its ways if it just hade to pay a little 20k fine.

Fake news: the flag of Norway is literally everywhere here in Seattle, because of muh heritage. There is even a "Nordic heritage" museum full of viking paraphernalia and shitty """Nordic art"""...
pic related: our yearly cringe parade
Christian Sanchez
Fuller story
Joshua Clark
Also, the museum is just 5 minutes away from Greenwood and these flags are literally everywhere.
Hunter Ross
Bunad, parade and flag waving is never cringe.
But this just confirms that there are Norwegian flags there, and it explains why a random idiot who doesn't know any better would see a Norwegian flag in Seattle.

Dude. One person called the police because he was too dumb.
No one claim that the entire city is that retarded.
Why it hurts to read it? It looks like a children discussion of which power ranger is the strongest (the white, obviously).

There's tons of stratification on what you can sue for and what kind of damages you can collect here, but no one knows exactly how it works and everyone is just working off of assumptions about hearsay and anecdotes that are almost never grounded in fact. The law between states varies, the laws between individual counties and cities can vary, and federal law is complex on top it, so not even lawyers are experts on the entire system - only their area of focus.
The end result is that we largely believe we can sue over literally anything and somehow become millionaires. This is exacerbated by predatory litigation from certain law firms who are trying to get rich off of class action laws suits where they take huge chunks of money and all the individual litigants get pennies. Or, the same kind of law firms target big companies, knowing either one of two things will happen: 1) the case isn't worth shit but could tie up the participants for years, so the company will just settle out of court to avoid the legal battle because it will be cheaper or 2) there's a legitimate case that will actually net large sums of money. There's also sue-trolls, people who basically go hunting through the legal system for obscure interpretations of laws and then go sue people to try to make a quick buck - this is why field trips to certain places in high schools, such as theme parks, had to stop. There were a bunch of cases in the early 2000's of people sueing the schools saying that offering frield trips to theme parks, even if it was related to legitimate study, was unfair to the students who couldn't afford. Despite the fact that this kind of litigation-trolling happened rarely in incredibly limited context (most schools offer assistance to lower-income students, which legally absolves the situation), tons of schools simply opted out to avoid the possibility of a troll hitting them with litigation altogether.

Cont from This really all only happens because the US is a common law system, and case-law and precedence reigns supreme. If there is a precedent somewhere else, that is almost always going to overrule standing law. If there's no precedent set, then you have a 50/50 shot based on the attitude of the judge whether or not the case will be dropped (due to no established law/lacking precedence) or if the case will be taken (under the idea that precedence need be established for future situations). When people talk about the difference between conservative and liberal judges in the US, that's the actual difference - whether or not they stick to established statutes and precedence, or whether they are willing to interpret things more openly or seek to make case-law.
Ironically, the people who think Kavanaugh will overturn Roe v Wade are woefully mistaken if they think his "conservative" stance as a judge will have him overturn that precedence. Robert Kennedy, a conservative Supreme Court justice who was nominated by Ronald Reagan and confirmed by a Republican-controlled congress, was the justice that authored the majority opinion on Obegerfell v Hodges, the case that struck down federal laws treating same-sex marriages differently than opposite-sex marriages. But that's a whole different thing.
Basically, the whole system is open for interpretation at any time, and since a lot of these kinds of predatory litigation rely on targeting arguably legal situations without established law, judges are going to be willing to hear them since our legal and social culture is largely about arguing in courts what is and isn't acceptable.
If, after all this, the system still doesn't make any sense, don't feel bad - even our "experts" on the subject are lost half the time. The US legal system is complex as hell because of the variety of levels, federalism, and common law systems, to the point that only judges and lawyers get any part of it.

Why do the Danes love their flag so much? Reading some of the Dannish news I get the sense that they're more attached to it than most Europeans are. Are Danes more patriotic?

It's the oldest continually used flag in the world. Usage started in the 1200s, it was formally adopted in the 1400s. Probably why.
