If it weren't for lawyers and the Law....

[FlamingoBlue]

You would be personally engaged in conflict, every minute of your lives. Think about that for a moment. If you think that there is too much violence now, just think about how it would be if there were no lawyers?

And, Siren, to those who attack you because you are a lawyer, FUCK 'EM!!! I am proud to have been a lawyer for the past 32+ years. I am just so burned out from the experience because the clients have gotten so unreasonable in their demands. The clients; that's you folks, by the way!!!

p.s. Let the games begin!!!!!

my gf is studying to be a lawyer ... and yes i do tease her about it her dads a very big lawyer ... and yes she teases him about it


but they are both wonderful people are totally honorable in the things they do and way they work


theres docter jokes police jokes loads of jokes for different professions sheesh theres even blonde jokes (im blonde) and yes my gf teases me about that ... i dont think anyone could argue that a lawyer isnt a good job though ... and not all lawyers are dirty liars (just most) KIDDING but i agree theres a difference in being spitful and insulting and joking

Al Gore would be president

 

[willywanker]

Every time this subject comes up, I think about a line in a Louis L'Amour western I read years ago.

Said, "When we only had one lawyer in this town, he did wills, handled land transfers, everything was fine. As soon as the second lawyer came to town, we had our first law suit."

I know we need lawyers, but I think we need some reform too. Just to easy to sue for anything stupid these days.

 

[DarkAngel]

If it weren't for lawyers, I would be a hell of a lot richer.

And my poor sanity would be still intact.

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Hey Blue! You are right of course. And.....

I don't mean to veer from the subject......

And I know you type a bit slow......

However, I would find it very interesting if you could provide a couple of "extreme demands" via you clients.

When you get a chance.

 

[Gawd]

If you have been trespassed against, then you must sue.

What happened to forgiveness?

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

No one says you "must" sue....

That is your choice.

And that choice must be available.

It actually maintains the quality of freedom.

 

[FlamingoBlue]

Forgiveness only goes so far, gawd....

Unfortunately, forgiveness doesn't compensate an an injury victim nor does it redress wrongs or dissolve unhappy marriages. I would go on but since you're gawd you already know what I'm gonna say.

[rambling man]

lawyers are proof that Hobbes was right..they do their part to keep the peace and we need them

 

[Siren]

Sparky, you want some examples of unreasonable demands by clients?

 

[rambling man]

Am I set for life???? No??? Not even emotional trauma????

 

[Siren]

[sexy-girl]

please dont flame me well acutally you can flame me because there are pretty naff lawyer jokes does anybody know any good ones i need some to tell my gf



Everybody in my family follows the medical profession,” said John. “They’re all lawyers.


Did you hear about the lawyer hurt in an accident? An ambulance stopped suddenly


One juror overheard saying to another...”You’ll notice that neither the prosecutor or defense attorney swore to tell the truth!”


How can you tell when a lawyer is lying? His lips are moving


Two lawyers were walking along negotiating a case “Look,” said one to the other, “let’s be honest with each other.” “Okay, you first,” replied the other That was the end of the discussion

 

[rambling man]

[Siren]

[sexy-girl]

[GuyJD]

LET'S FACE IT

If it wasn't for lawyers...........
That clumsy ass woman would not be a fucking millionaire today just for spilling hot McDonald's coffee on her lap.
DUH!!! I could swear that coffee is always best served HOT.

 

[Siren]

Oh yes Guy and it was all the lawyers doing right?

 

[sexy-girl]

too even things up abit


Why do lesbians like whales so much?
Because they have 50 foot tongues, and air holes on the top of their heads.


Do you know what drag is?
It's when a man wears everything a lesbian won't


Have you heard...
about the new lesbian tennis shoe called "Dyke"? (pronounced DIKEE)
Yeah! It has an extra long tongue and it only takes one finger to get it off!


This is a visual joke, so imagine
Stick out your tongue straight in front of you. Ask: "what's this?"
Answer: "A lesbian with a hard on".


How many lesbians does it take to change a lightbulb?
Two. One to screw in the lightbulb, and the other to write a folk song about it.

 

[YoungGun69]

Many People malign(where did that word come from) lawyers all the time and say they are scum but who is the first person they run to when they get in trouble.

 

[Siren]

While I understand your motivations Sexy....

 

[shadowsource]

Siren's hot when she's vexed....

But seriously, yes, lawyers are indispensable. Our culture thrives on contention, conflict, resolution, and the system is unquestionably geared to benefit those in power, so long as they stay active and fresh in their games(s). To fight them, we need lawyers - honest ones, nasty ones, elegant ones, sexy ones, boring ones, brave ones, real ones. Without lawyers we have no power at all (the guns won't really save anyone and if you use 'em without a good lawyer, you'll be really fucked).

Sure a lot of trial lawyers are disreputable - just like doctors, teachers, soldiers, politicians, celebrities, porn freaks. But the Bush folks don't care about the ambulance chasing. They want to prevent us from exercising our rights (again - they don't care if you sue your HMO in federal court, which is geared to turn your case into sawdust) against the powerful folks they serve.

And Siren, the dumber they are, the more they need you, right?

 

[GuyJD]

Re: Oh yes Guy and it was all the lawyers doing right?

She didnt go to a Lawyer wanting big money from McDonald's, right?

You talk about greed?

the greed begins with the Clients, they are the greedy ones.....

They come in wanting tons of money......

It is not the lawyers that are greedy for the most part, it is the clients....


that is YOU ALL>

Taken from a lawyer's commercial on Beavis & Butthead:
"HAVE YOU BEEN INJURED? DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO'S BEEN INJURED? YOU MAY HAVE EVEN BEEN INJURED AND NOT KNOW."

I have absolutely nothing against lawyers. What pisses me off are the "advertised lawyers", otherwise known as ambulance chasers. They give lawyers a bad name.

As for that clumsy bitch who jipped McDonald's out of millions for spilling coffee on herself. I'm sorry, Siren, but she didn't do it herself. In fact, I'm almost sure that she went through a few lawyers who rejected her case before finding that one "slime ball" who was cleaver enough to make it look like the corporation's fault.

Like Howard Stern has always said, there should be a law against stupid lawsuits like that. Or better yet, the person who brings up these lawsuits should have to pay.

 

[Siren]

And for that you condemn all lawyers?
