The best part about Gip is that he will die fighting for his opinion / answer not matter how much it is proved incorrect. Gip could say the answer is 4. I say 3. Teacher says 3. Other students say 3. Solution manual says 3. Famous mathematician says 3. Gip is still staying after class to argue the only real answer is 4 and he'll be there until the teacher goes home, and then he'll pick it up before class tomorrow. Again, he was trained in law. It isn't about getting the right answer. It's just about convincing someone else you're right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't go after Woody....I went after his misconceptions....but you do seem to be a deserving person to go after. I mean face it.....If Woody's idea of your profession was similar to his idea of my profession, then he would have suggested that architects are just a bunch of guys that play around with Lincoln logs all day.

Not really true. I change my mind a lot about things. The problem here is: it is YOUR total misperception of what lawyers really do that is incorrect. I suspect the only ideas you have about them is from what you see on TV. Have you ever actually met a lawyer? Ever had to deal with a matter that requires an attorney? Like I said, you are as clueless about it as the guy who asks you how your train is running. Gip could say the answer is 4. I say 3. Teacher says 3. Other students say 3. Solution manual says 3. Famous mathematician says 3. Except, when it comes to this: I say 4, the teacher says 4, the other students and the manual and the famous mathematician....people that know a little all say 4. You will be the only one saying 2. Gip is still staying after class to argue the only real answer is 4 and he'll be there until the teacher goes home, and then he'll pick it up before class tomorrow. Again, he was trained in law. It isn't about getting the right answer. It's just about convincing someone else you're right. You here again, show your complete ignorance. Why do you persist on continuing to be ignorant about what lawyers do with most of their time? In this case...YOU have the wrong answer. Now, one assumption may be that you are just being purposely contrarian...pulling all our legs. Which is guess is OK. Ha ha ha. The problem is that I don't think that is the case. You really seem to be going down the Trump Zombie like route, where you are being purposely obtuse. But, here are the facts: unless you are an attorney that specializes in hard core litigation, we spend little time trying to convince someone else we are right. When I make out a will or a trust for people, I certainly do NOT argue with them about what it is that they should put in their will. When I do a probate estate I certainly do NOT argue with the heirs about how the deceased's property should be distributed. When I handle a real estate transaction there is rarely ever any kind of advocacy involved. Occasionally there may be some negotiation involved. When I handle a divorce or dissolution, it is far more rare that there is a knock down drag out fight over matters. The law fairly well settles things when it comes to various contentious matters. WE just implement the law. Same with a bankruptcy, which is primarily fact gathering and form filling, then a few minutes in front of a Trustee simply having questions asked of your client. There is no "argument" involved there at all. Oh, I can argue something if I need to....but I would wager that in my personal career, out of say 100 hours....maybe one of those would have been spent in "argument". Unless you consider "negotiation" to be "argument". Sometimes it can be, mostly not. Then it would be maybe 5 out of 100. So, if you are really interested you could do these things: Go get a divorce. Go Bankrupt. Commit a crime. Have your kid commit a crime. Have your loved ones die. Buy a business or income property. Sell a business or income property. . Become a Landlord and have to evict someone (rest assured...you the client will have far far more arguments engaging in that than the lawyer you hire would) Get hit by a car. Hit someone with a car. Commit malpractice in that job of yours. Have an elderly relative have to placed into Guardianship because of dementia. Adopt a child. etc. etc. etc. Do all those things, and rarely actually will you see your lawyer "arguing" over something. Advising, couseling, interviewing, implementing. That is what we do. I have actually spent more time "arguing" with idjits like you on here than I ever have in my law practice. (and, in my case now...my days of even doing that 1% of arguing are done). So, go on fiddling with your widgets, or driving your choo choo train. If you can't see the light, or don't want see it, then ye shall remain truly blind and you can gnash your teeth over it, or howl at the moon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Bone Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 I have a feeling that when this thread finally dies its long overdue death, Peeps will be the last post. ^ Simply based on previous experience, I'm not a soothsayer like Dutch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
