Give me a break!

  The lawsuits these days are getting absolutely absurd. Someone is now suing Apple for potential hearing loss from the iPod. Give me a break! It would be one thing if your iPod was broken and played music at high decibels regardless of the volume setting. But, as long as it's functioning properly, isn't it common sense not to play your iPod too loud? Suing Apple because of possible hearing loss is like suing a company that makes sunglasses because of possible eye damage from staring into the sun. I mean, how far will they let this go? Why not sue Apple for a possible choking hazard with the iPod Shuffle? Why not sue GM because of the possibility of driving too fast and wrecking your car? Why not sue a company that makes matches because of the potential to get burned? Are we eventually going to have to print a hundred different warning stickers on every product?

  As far as Christians are concerned, we shouldn't be suing people anyway. The Bible talks about this in 1 Corinthians 6:1-8. It also says in Proverbs 13:11 that "Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears; wealth from hard work grows." (NLT) Besides, in Matthew 18:21-22, Jesus tells us to forgive. Forgive not just once, but 490 times! So, instead of suing people (or companies), let's start forgiving them.
