being a lawyer has to be one of the most depressing professions a person can hold.

Get paid $$$ to lie.  Not depressing at all.

You know that 95 percent of cases never go to trial, right?  Stop talking out of your ass.  The vast majority of work lawyers do is legal research, investigative work, painstaking paperwork/records, etc. etc.  Not everything is like what you see on TV.

really what is so contentious in saying that the legal profession requires a pretty loose set of ethical principles. you take money to defend blatant criminals. you try to prosecute people to get the most severe sentence/the best payout, depending on your clients needs. it's mercenary living with a briefcase. it's a respected and traditional profession, but there's nothing controversial in saying 'it's not for everyone'. it takes a certain sort of person who puts the enjoyment of rhetoric/argumentation before any sort of human empathy.

I smell a liberal anti-capitalist keyboard social activist.  Go read more liberal propaganda on alternet.org or something.

Well, no shit.  You need money to hire "private criminal lawyers".  You need money to hire a lawyer in general.  Unless, of course, you're a criminal.  How many petty criminals have money?

One time I was at my friend's frat house in long beach and this guy who claimed he had a record deal came over and was rapping for us.  Had a pretty nice watch on.  He was really really good too, freestyling and shit.  I was was drunk and I said, "yeah nigga" in a congratulatory tone.  He made me slap myself.  I was embarrassed.  But he most definitely did not pull out a gun or threaten to sue me.

I once had a similar situation. I said to a teammate "nice shot, nigga". He got angry and started to go off on me. His also black cousin told him it wasn't a big deal since I'm Puerto Rican and we are sort of in the same boat. He agreed and didn't try to beat me up.

Amongst my Asian compadres, I've called them chigga, ching chong, gookface, and jackie chan and they didn't give a shit.

so you didn't get shot but for some reason I would? OK.

@taiwan: yeah, she could have been traumatized in the past, sure.  It still comes across as fucking greedy.

It was sarcasm.  The point was that a black person would beat you up but an Asian wouldn't.

you met some weak ass asians. all the asians i know in sydney would bash someone if they were overtly racist and abusive.

"liberal anti-capitalist"

oxymoron, moron.

How is that an oxymoron? Most liberals are leftist.

capitalism and bourgeoisie society are inaugurated and dependent upon a basic liberal premise. western democracy and capitalism are essentially liberal. no, most liberals are not 'leftist'. you are talking about the american capital-l 'Liberal', as in a political party with a specific programme. most 'liberals' are simply humanist, and side with human rights and thus progressive tendencies. that is not 'left'. in fact both political alternatives to liberalism and its principles of free exchange and labour (and hence capitalism) are summed up by forms of socialist cooperation or management (lefty communism, righty fascism). they are the modern eras two 'great' alternative ideas/theories of political organization, as ways out of the liberal framework and its bourgeoisie teleology.

you are a not very smart person. to accuse someone of being "liberal anti-capitalist" is the definition of an oxymoron. liberalism is the basic tenet, doctrine, and material precondition for capitalism. you cannot have capitalism without liberalism. anything that is defined as being not-liberalism pretty much precludes capitalism: left socialism in the form of equal distribution of all wealth/labour; right fascism as the state control of all industry and production. classical liberalism was a bourgeoisie ideology constructed and theorized by merchants and eager capitalists.

liberalism and humanism are dirty-words in some corners of philosophy now because of their implied optimism and notions of 'progress', which have been critiqued and analysed to death as basically being a thin-veneer of ideological bullshit covering up the inexorable machine-like dialectic of capitalism itself (liberalism being the superstructural icing on the capitalist cake's base; a mere form of political persuasion and legitimation). liberalism has also undergone several critiques for its approach to identity politics and its subsequent treatment of difference/integration, among other cultural factors (namely its philosophical relativism, which tends to fall off in the fields of epistemology into a blackhole, where nothing is knowable, and hence distinctions between good/bad, true/false become meaningless; this process has been aided by the positivism of logicians, technicians of capitalism as such, who also achieved the same abolition of meaning in 20th century philosophy).

but all that is high-level academic stuff that jay definitely has no knowledge of. nuanced stuff. real intellectual stuff, you know. liberalism, at root, is inseparable from capitalism. it's the specific flavour of democracy we have evolved since the great french revolution, and its tenets have been passed down and encoded in documents like the american constitution - documents jay sticks by in his moments of libertarian, semi-erect fervor. but don't tell him that: 'liberal' means 'leftist' to him, and he knows best.

i know a girl who went to do some sort of international relations MA at manchester after finishing her lit undergrad, and during her summer she went to ghana for like a cv-boosting 'humanitarian trip', i guess. she ended up 'going native' and hooking up with a ghanan guy, like 'in a relationship' and serious about it, too, even after she had come back to the UK, and it was basically a long-distance internet thing. she also had long blonde hair and she got it, like, completely braided. it didn't look very good.

She saw his penis. I'm telling you white women can't resist BBC. Just look at the relationship between Seal and Heidi Klum and how that started. http://www.people.com/people/article/0, … 04,00.html

"I met him in a hotel lobby in New York City and he came in just from the gym and I was sitting there and I was, like, wow," Klum tells Oprah Winfrey on her show's Superstar Couples episode set to air Thursday.

Wow, as in Seal was wearing bicycle shorts.

"And I pretty much saw everything," says Klum. "The whole package."

From that moment on, the passion never died. The couple, in a rare joint television interview, say on The Oprah Winfrey Show that they've worked to keep those early feelings alive.

it's really kind of sad that you memorized that one random anecdotal story and could even link to it. you must have bookmarked some silly little gossip article from a trashy girl's mag one time, because it helped your insecurities

the girl was not a heidi klum, let's put it that way.

i think it's more likely the fact that he represented something exotic. possibly even the noble savage she had studied so much in her patient course reading? maybe just. someone who is studying a degree in international relations, after doing 3 years of colonial literature, is probably going to romanticize and have an image of 'the native'. or maybe they just had great personal chemistry? who knows. i think you put too much importance on penis size, fair roc. another symptom of your immaturity. i don't think a donkey dick is going to sustain an internet relationship.
