Desperately Seeking Blame

This lawsuit is absolutely absurd to me. I don't understand how this woman genuinely believes that her gambling issues lie with anyone but herself. If she was conscientious of her gambling problem, it's her responsibility to stay away from casinos.

It seems like an increasing trend in today's "sue or be sued" world to place blame on anyone but yourself. It is not up to the casino managers and dealers to evaluate each gambler's mental state. If someone from the casino had tried to get her or anyone else to leave when they were simply wealthy and out having a good time, the casino would inevitable get sued for that as well.

People need to start taking responsibility for their own actions. I feel like this was something my mom ingrained in my head at an early age. Is this an idea that people are growing out of with age or is not embedded as deeply in some people? I have no doubt that the judge and jury will side with the casinos, and hopefully it will discourage other people who will experience her loss to place blame where it belongs.
