James Pacenza was fired by IBM for frequenting an adult chat room while at work. He was warned not to do it, did so anyway, was caught and fired. For most self-respecting perverts, this would be the end of it.

However, Pacenza has filed suit for wrongful termination, citing the Americans With Disabilities Act and blaming Vietnam and post-traumatic stress disorder for turning him into a sex addict. This is another example of a weak American blaming a lack of character and personal responsibility on anyone and anything. One can only hope he will lose the suit. The real tragedy of this situation is the disrespect it shows to veterans who have suffered real injuries, either mental or physical, resulting from having served for their country and for all American who have real disabilities. If this lawsuit is allowed to stand, it cheapens us all.

Does anyone know if a company has ever filed suit against an employee like Pacenza, attempting to recoup the value of the time lost in acts like this? It might be a great way to stop frivolous lawsuits like this from even starting.
