    I'm thinking the byte limit on tweets is the main factor here...easier to just scoop 'em all up than to figure how to get the "important" ones.

    Lawyers "suck" because they fulfill no useful role in society and their sole reason for being is of their own making. A definition of a social parasite. This encompasses the entire profession irrespective of their access to governance.

    OK, I'm going to run this through for you one more time: There are good lawyers. There are bad lawyers. And in between, there's a whole fucking spectrum, just like any profession. Your clinging to this paranoid delusion that all lawyers are secretly in cahoots with each other is what makes it so easy for me to point you as the village retard that you are.

    You need to get over this hurdle. It ain't doing you any good.

    Sure, what percentage of US Senate and House of Representatives is composed of lawyers again?

    And what does it have to do with the argument that all lawyers suck? None whatsoever. It's like saying all Catholic priests are pedophiles because a significant chunk of them are. It makes you feel better, but its not true, and doesn't advance the conversation.

    See, there you go: Keep trying to portray them as some homogenous group, and I'll keep laughing at you.

    Wow. Guilt by association of profession. Fucking nice leap there, moron.

    You repeat yourself.

    Yawn. Get a better contract, then. Or, gasp, sue for the breach. Again, it's the game, not the players...

    Yep, I was just thinking that the only people who win every time no matter what are the lawyers.

    And more often than not their wins turn into losses for us.


    That's like saying hammers win when you have to take apart that rotten trellis in the backyard. Stupid.

    What the fans want is the prequels rewritten and refilmed with good actors, compelling storylines, characters you can give a shit about, and most importantly, no Jar-Jar or midichlorians.

    Uh yeah, good luck with that.

    Don't get me wrong, I was as annoyed at the prequels as anyone else who had an actual social life, but shit, man, let's move on. The prequels sucked. It was almost a decade ago. Let it go.
