From a summer ssociate at Cadwalader, Wickersham and Taft:
In case ya'll are doubting my declaring CWT a TTT:
By the time you read this in the morning, I am sure that you will have heard of what happened to me. All for no reason. I warn all the summer associates this firm is a joke of what it used to be. Read the history. With a man like Jordan Schwartz in charge what can you expect. For those that do not know my mother has cancer and I asked if I could leave the firm next Wednesday to take care of her. I was told that I would know by the end of the day my status. Also the day before my 5-year old daughter was in the hospital with a 105 degree fever. It was not a good week and the power at be knew that.
Mr. Schwartz had the gall to complain that I was on my cell phone talking about my daughter's condition during my partner dinner on Monday. That's the problem with the legal profession -- family has to come 2nd. Whoever it was that had a problem with my cell phone use in that situation (Mr. Polkes perhaps, Mr. Perel) should have been man or woman enough to confront me and they would have learned of the crisis and accepted it. Others used their phones too but because of my Italian-American heritage I was singled out.
To my friends, I consider you my friends because you have treated me right. Thank you for many happy times. Until today, I (we) did not see the real side of Cadwalader (who is probably rolling in his grave right now at the State of the Firm). While clearing my stuff from my desk and making telephone arrangements Mr. Schwartz called a security guard to monitor me. Gerry and Mike saw it first hand. Like the old Soviet Union, I was led downstairs to a waiting car. If you remember what I look like, I am a real threat. Please, those in charge are supposed to be rational.
I wish you all good luck and will maybe see some of you tomorrow when I return my Blackberry (which the firm favors over its employees). Doris don't worry you will get it back, but what will you do when Monica comes back and you become another no-good party planner?? The power trip will end.
To all of you I was told by Mr. Schwartz that I will receive pay for my 4 days of work this week if he decides he wants to show "goodwill" towards me. This is fascism. I am actually happy tonight because now I can quit this corrupt profession and not be a bitch for a partner. I can proudly say that I am now no person's bitch. We all heard the bad stuff about this firm before we joined and I was warned but I did not heed the warning and I got repaid. But I will survive. I will work in a profession where I will see my loved ones and will do good. Instead of representing the drug companies who are driving prices up, why not represent the Aids patients or poor who cannot afford these drugs. That joke of a pro bono program also needs no further consideration, we all saw it.
Does any one remember the movie "A Civil Action?" who do identify more with John Travolta who was fighting for the rights of the people or Hale and Dorr who was fighting for the rights of the polluters. Whose side do you think CWT is on. I am glad I can become one of the good guys again. We all like money, but what price to achieve it? Self dignity? I have seen a particular partner commit acts that should be sexual harassment on women at least 4 times. Will he be disciplined? I don't think so because he is a "rainmaker."
I now realize that I don't want to be a lawyer. I don't want the orders from those stuck on themselves and their ivy league schools. I don't want to be disrespected by people who probably cannot hold a family life together and do not know common sense. I don't want to be a bad guy. CWT is the bad guy, the biggest if the bad guy. It tries to prevent those who have legitimate grievances from redress because of their reinsurance knowledge. They are the bad guys, the partners. Remember the "Devil's Advocate?" My soul is mine and will remain mine. To all the people with families who never see them, re-think your lives, is that what yo
That is because there is a disagreement over what the 2nd amendment means. One side argues that the right to keep and bear arms only applies to "[a] well regulated militia," but the other side argues that it applies to the general populace. The U.S. Supreme Court is actually faced with this question this term in DC v. Heller. More info here.
Just say "Irregardless? That's not even a real word. You're affixing the negative prefix 'irr-' to 'regardless', but, as 'regardless' is already negative, it's a logical absurdity!"
Regardless of whether or not this marks a "resurgence of fascism", I was merely commenting on the poster's flawed reasoning. The mere fact that the Nazi's supported a particular idea does not make it inherently bad. This fallacy is so common it has a name, Reductio ad Hitlerum.
Actually, the US has never started a war. But we've never lost one either.
Are you nuts? the US starts wars all the time: the War on Drugs, the War on Poverty, the War on AIDS, the War on Terrorism, the War on Iraq. And last time I checked, the drugs are winning, we still have poverty and AIDS, we haven't caught Osama bin Laden and we started an illegal war on Iraq that has essentially pissed off the whole world (inlcuding millions of Americans).
Missouri Attorney General Jay Nixon has filed the first two lawsuits using the new state anti-spam law against a Florida man and Fundetective.com of Boca Raton, Fla.
Nixon said the defendents violated the state law, which went into effect Aug. 28, by sending spam to Missouri e-mail accounts without the required labeling, and by sending spam to those accounts after being asked to stop. Under the law, spam must be labeled with the phrase ADV: in the first four characters in the subject line or ADV: ADLT if it contains adult material.
The first suit was filed against Phillip Nixon of Palm Beach, Fla., who allegedly sent at least five unsolicited commercial e-mails to an address maintained by the Attorney General's office, nospam@moago.org. The messages were not labeled as required and did not stop even after being directed to stop.
The second suit was filed against Fundetective.com, which sent spam messages advertising payday loans and other services. The messages were not labeled as required.
In the suit, Nixon is asking the St. Louis City Circuit Court to issue injunctions to prevent the defendants from further violating the law, and civil penalties of up to $5,000 for each violation.

BTW, USC is "one of the world's leading private research universities." It's not a public university like the others listed.

That's not true. Defamation, for example was not protected speech at the time of the framing of the Constitution (and is not protected speech today).
That is because there is a disagreement over what the 2nd amendment means.

The U.S. Supreme Court is actually faced with this question this term in DC v. Heller. More info here.
Yes, because its the lawyers' fault that Comcast filters traffic this way.
Yes, it's a quote from American Dad. Hence the quotation marks.
Just say "Irregardless? That's not even a real word. You're affixing the negative prefix 'irr-' to 'regardless', but, as 'regardless' is already negative, it's a logical absurdity!"
They're not even suing you, they're THREATENING to sue you. By paying them $3,000 you settle out of court for this incident.
and as a bonus, they appeal to some in the conservative religious crowd.
Couldn't Red Hat or IBM just aquire SCO and drop the lawsuits? They could even make their "products" open-source.
At this point, how much is the company even worth?
Regardless of whether or not this marks a "resurgence of fascism", I was merely commenting on the poster's flawed reasoning. The mere fact that the Nazi's supported a particular idea does not make it inherently bad. This fallacy is so common it has a name, Reductio ad Hitlerum.
Wow, only two comments before mentioning Hitler. Is that a record or something?
you're a few syllables off...
If you've filed bankruptcy or are considering it, I would caution against getting engaged.
Are you nuts? the US starts wars all the time: the War on Drugs, the War on Poverty, the War on AIDS, the War on Terrorism, the War on Iraq. And last time I checked, the drugs are winning, we still have poverty and AIDS, we haven't caught Osama bin Laden and we started an illegal war on Iraq that has essentially pissed off the whole world (inlcuding millions of Americans).
Since when is Christian music decent?
And so based on one experience, you're going to criticize an entire continent?

that's all fine and good, but will it play ps2 and ps1 games?
yeah, i always knew the were a bunch on commies :-)
you mean I learned the table of elements for nothing?! this is just like that "duck and cover" crap.
25 hours to a day huh? Time to lay off the 'ole coding sessions there Timmy.
How many minutes before we patch our p2p programs to prevent these kind of attacks? And how do they know I don't own the CD?
