Like I said, sometimes it works.

Like I said, save it.

Honestly, you have no idea what lawyers do. When you think of lawyers you think of a single stereotype and it's just wrong. You're simply displaying your ignorance.

And you gloss over the wrongs like they don't happen. Again, if it makes you feel better.

theogt said:
What does this even mean? Do you have any idea what you're talking about? Or are you just throwing these ridiculous cliches around for the heck of it? Learn something about the profession or stop trying to pretend that you have a clue.

I know all I need to. You pretend to be a hero and the guys responsible for all the good in the world. A lawyer's reputation is well deserved.

theogt said:
What on earth are you talking about? Cigarettes? Health insurance?

You wouldn't have health insurance if it wasn't for lawyers. You know that hospital you go to? Lawyers had to draw up the contracts to hire the doctors. They had to draw up the contracts to build the hospital itself and to purchase the land it's sitting on. They have to make sure that the hospital is compliant with all of the regulations, so that the hospital can stay open and actually cure you of your ills.

Spare me the routine 'hero', get back to the ambulance chasing and get-rich-quick class action lawsuits.

Seriously, guy, you're a joke. You wouldn't have a job if it wasn't for lawyers. You wouldn't have a doctor if it wasn't for lawyers. You wouldn't have a home if it wasn't for lawyers. We make the world go 'round.

I'm glad you think so. It means I'm actually doing something right when the lawyers are pissed off.

Spare me the 'you should be grateful' act.

And keep boosting yourself up 'hero'.

Lie to yourself, not to me.

Ladies and Gentlemen SummerisFunner. Please, a round of applause... we're so excited you could grace us with your presence and keen insight.

it's not keen insight, all I did was read the part in the CBA about the player contract

peplaw06 said:
Sure it qualifies. Does Rex Grossman's play qualify? His play is detrimental to the league on most weeks. The general watering down of the QB play in the league is detrimental to the league.

not to the league's integrity, which is what we're talking about here

The problem is, you don't even know enough to know what you don't know. It's painfully obvious to anyone with a clue.

This is a classic display of ignorance. I don't do litigation. Many lawyers don't. You have no idea what the profession does.

LOL! Ignorance is bliss isn't it?

I'm not attacking you. I don't even know you. You chose to take my comments personally. You may very well be an honest man, doing an honest job. Obviously, not everyone in the legal profession is a crook. But even you must admit that some who share the same profession are less than 'honorable' in their tactics.

I would much rather actually talk about the subject of this thread rather than go 'round and 'round about the legal profession.

You agree not to talk about it, so will I.

I didn't think you were attacking me. You were making blanket, incorrect statements about my profession.

So your point boils down to there being some lawyers that are less than honorable?

Aren't there some accountants that are less than honorable? Aren't there some doctors that are less than honorable? Aren't there some police officers that are less than honorable?

My point is that you don't know enough about the legal profession to have any clue whether they're honorable or not. The legal profession isn't all about criminal defense lawyers. There are real estate lawyers, banking lawyers, business transaction lawyers, oil & gas lawyers, estate planning lawyers, etc., etc., etc.

Please, stop making ridiculous blanket statements. It only makes you look bad.

I'll stop making them as soon as you do.

How's that sound?

How about you stop making ridiculous blanket statements about things you have no knowledge of, and when I actually do so, you can call me out on it.

Once again, the point is lost.

You want to keep it up?

Fine.

We'll do that.

Doesn't surprise me.

You want some sort of truce as if I were doing something wrong. I'm simply pointing out your ignorance. When you stop speaking on subjects, proudly displaying said ignorance, I'll stop pointing it out.

Glossing over the wrongs of the legal profession is every bit as 'ignorant'.

You want to pretend you're a bunch of 'heroes'?

Feel free.

And I'll feel free to say otherwise.

Point to where I did any of that. You can take your strawmen and shove them where the sun doesn't shine.

Yikes!

Nasty talk for a 'hero', don't you think?

Look at your own posts.

That's the problem, you don't even know what you're saying half the time.

You continue to build those monuments to yourself when you're not 'making the world go 'round' for the rest of us 'common folk', OK?

Simply repeating a strawman doesn't help to reinforce it.

I'm willing to simply agree to diagree and settle out of court Counselor.

You're not going to change my mind and I'm not going to change yours.

Anything else is an exercise in futility for both of us.

In the end, we're two Dallas Cowboys fans *****ing about something over the internet.

Since we're being irrelevent to the thread I wonder how many of those lawyers owned slaves.

I'm struggling to see the irrelevance.

I think I'm ok with that, as long as the slaves were thugs. Why? Cuz **** 'em - that's why.

Peppy, just for your large ears: I have a job that actually impacts this country. For the good. Unlike lawyers. I help see to it that even lawyers can talk their garbage in freedom. And my job required more college education then you did to get your law degree. Now of course you make a lot more. But then I know I do not take blood money, so that helps.
More schooling and less pay? Sounds glorious. Still I'm sure that someone in your line of work at some point or another has done something "less than admirable."

I can look at myself in the mirror each morning and KNOW I do not have to lie to people that day. Can you say the same?
:laugh2:

I don't know how I look in the mirror each morning. I look and say, "you *******, you have to lie to x, y and z today. You should kill yourself."

Face it, you have no idea what I do, or how I do it. You assume I do things one way because "OJ's defense team did it this way." If I was as uneducated as you about a profession I would have shut my mouth long ago.
