Can't bag the Yanks too much. They are the source of amusement for the free world.
Just makes you more appreciative of your own country and fight harder against Amercianisms.

Keep fighting these so called Americanisms (wtf does that even mean?) and us Americanismsms wont take any notice of you anyhow. Glad we could amuse you, perhaps after a few decades under some totalitarian rule you will beg us to stop making you laugh and come save your sorry ungrateful asses, again.

Spot on mate.
I love the 'don't call us' comment. I don't think anyone would after they snubbed everyone anyway and only did something once they got their butts kicked (ww2). Who called who after 9/11.

Actually as a child even I wasn't so ignorant as to get into "my country is better than yours" arguments.

the actual free world and "best country in the known/unknown universe" is SPAIN. We don´t care about rules or laws. We just do whatever the f**k we want.

And we are also cleverer than the rest of the world, specifically when it comes to the economy.

That´s why we will follow Greece, Ireland and Portugal on their way down into the abyss.

Main point is: every land has its goods and its bads.

Interesting to see how this guy will argue in court that the game CAUSED his epilepsy- as someone else commented it was rather lucky for all concerned that he had a seizure in his home rather than at the controls of an F18.
I'm not sure how the tort of negligence is applied/is applicable in the USA, but he wouldn't get far in most places in the world. There would be a lot of interest in his medical history, especially if he had been using stimulants for long range missions , as well as illicit drug use, head injuries, etc. He may be making a very brave call to take this through the courts, he may be heading for a whole new world of problems.
On the other hand, there is very little detail given in this article... and the devil is always in the detail.
