The only ones winning this are the lawyers, salivating at the idea of this blob of mess, playing on words beyond recognition and way above any common sense.
I saw a lawyer's office earlier. Big logo said "We fight for fair". Sure, per minute.
- hopefulengineer 8y agolawyer's are cancer. It amazes me that nearly everybody hates them yet people continuously vote for them politically. Why are people shocked that their politicians lie to them, considering they lie and twist words for a living as a lawyer?
- YjSe2GMQ 8y agoI have used lawyers to defend my contract rights against people that try to weasel out of paying up for some services. How about we don't go black and white on lawyers (go case by case instead), to appreciate the complexity of human interactions and the corresponding complexity of determining who's right?
- AmericanChopper 8y agoMy lawyer is fantastic. On the few occasions I’ve used his services, he’s advocated passionately for me, and given me great advice. He cares personally about his clients and I don’t regret a single dollar I’ve spent on his invoices.

- delhanty 8y agoJust me maybe, but I'd rather we didn't compare any people at all to cancer here.
- 0x8BADF00D 8y agoIt’s strange how law and finance are both heavily demonized. Why is that? Both professions are productive, yet for some reason, it appears that most will only focus on the negative aspects of these two professions.
- jordanbeiber 8y agoIt’s the speculative part of finance that is loathed. The one that don’t care about fundamentals, product quality, humanity and the earth. The law is in general a good thing, but you have this whole business going that is from a fundamental point of view just meaningless. This business is about patent claims, and often all it manages to do is stifle innovation. You could argue the productivity of both these specialities.
- C1sc0cat 8y agoOne negative example for lawyers would be dragging a case about pensions out for over a decade so that over time people would die and reduce the cost to the company. BT Section A is the case.
- engineeringwoke 8y agoI used to work in finance. People don't like finance because 99% of the time if there's a relationship involved we wouldn't have to compete on price. It would be obvious if someone's shopping around a loan, to the extent that it was very easy to get a broker to send over a competitor's offer sheet so you could compare. People hate finance because at the core it's sales and you make your keep by being predatory since everyone does it. If you don't, you sink.
