As someone who's been on the winning side of the big battles, I've lost some smaller ones and learned from my mistakes. I realize the system is unjust. The system is a game with unjust rules, and playing by them better than my opposition was the way to win. But that isn't justice.
As someone with a vastly greater amount of anecdotal experience, someone actually trained in the practice and educated in the particulars, having participated in the system at every level and having been required for years to study and advance my knowledge of the system, I realize you're just wrong. The system isn't a game, though some will always try to game the system.
She should have stopped after "here".
lain:
Far beyond anecdotal evidence, the numbers are on my side. Of course, I realize that someone as deep into the system as you would not realize what water even is.
Cardinal or ordinal? Else, sweet. Then post them, link to the source and lets' see what numbers and what they actually say.
I know that you should cut whatever you're having with a lot more of whatever water is.
Translation: you can take my experience and note that you have years and cases more of that, then note you had years of training in the particulars, the theory, etc. and feel pretty good about the chance that I have a decided objective advantage in evaluating the nature of the system.
If you aren't a lawyer you aren't trying cases, so that must have something to do with personal matters where the courts were involved...I see whatever that was and raise you years as a lawyer handling an average caseload of over seventy cases relating to the VAWA act.
You seemed a little conceded.
You can call it cheese, but I wouldn't try to eat it on a cracker. :nono:
This would be the only thing in your post worth responding to. However, with what you said following it's clear we couldn't discuss the numbers:

Then I've lapped you.
What numbers?
I could, but you're like some guy who's just been given an insight into the medical profession by his doctor, and can't bother to credit it because you've handed out a couple of aspirin and that's got to put you on par.
lain:I chose to spend most of my career as a poverty lawyer, so outside of the general satisfaction I derived from helping people...
Victim? I thought you only just noted your victorious play within that system.
This is a horrible analogy. It's saying that I'm on par with lawyers on how the system works. I've never claimed that, and I've never credited the lawyers I've learned from because they teach people that the system works, but what I've learned from them is the truth about how it doesn't work.I could, but you're like some guy who's just been given an insight into the medical profession by his doctor, and can't bother to credit it because you've handed out a couple of aspirin and that's got to put you on par.
Could you be more clear about what you mean by saying this? bad grapes at the bottom of the barrel?
No, I didn't say you were on par with the doctor. I said you're telling someone in a position to know what he's talking about his business out of some anecdotal you think qualifies you to override the counsel. That's rarely a good idea.
I don't care if you "credit" either. You're just not in a position to understand what you're criticizing meaningfully.
Except that you're not dying and mostly those who do have it coming, unless you don't believe in the DP, or punishment for people who break the laws of the land.
I, on the other hand, understand there is no gulag. To me you're the blind man holding onto an elephants tail certain that you have a deadly snake in hand.
Sour grapes. People who sound like you almost always had a bad experience and project that onto the system because they don't have the exposure or instruction to contextualize it. They value and judge it through that myopic and mistaken lens.
Because there's a difference between perfect and good. The best restaurants occasionally get an order wrong. The best surgeons make mistakes. Because systems are run by people and people don't always get a thing right.
Anyway, this is funny, because I changed the answer within a minute, realizing that someone who wasn't serious would try some version of what you spewed out as quickly as you could manage to hit send.
Supra.
