We don't want justice, we want our clients to win. Seriously. It's in our code of ethics. The idea is that if lawyers zealously represent their clients, and a judge and/or jury makes the decision, the outcome will be somewhere in the neighbourhood of justice.ROFLMAO

But the lawyers aren't responsible for producing justice. That's not our job.

Maybe you need a new set of ethics! Ones closer to a human being!

I much prefer the French system where lawyers for both sides and the judge cooperate in a search for the TRUTH. It is despicable the way lawyers in America especially twist and warp things and avoid the truth. Truth is justice and if you work in the justice system without any regard for the truth you have no ethics at all!

You can detest it all you want but people suing other people in the US is a fact of life, it is done often. You don't hear so much about it here in Canada, but it is a constant in the US. Which is why national monuments and parks are closed down while the republicans play games with the American economy.
That is how civilized people solve disputes that are serious enough that it used to be solved with a gun and start to finish was less that 24 hours.

Everyone is.

And I am pretty sure you're going to be disappointed.

You really think the GOP is going to be swept from the House of Representatives? Of course you do because you really believe everyone loves Obamacare. It is a disaster.

The GOP should have let this matter of Obamacare run its course.

Apparently not many like Obamacare.....A vast majority do like the Affordable Healthcare Bill though. :roll:

No wonder your country is in such a downward spiral.

That is how civilized people solve disputes that are serious enough that it used to be solved with a gun and start to finish was less that 24 hours.

It also only cost a few cents instead of millions of dollars. We might just want to rethink things.

No, the Obama administration is defined by actually wanting to do something about the almost 50 million Americans who couldn't afford basic healthcare. Obamacare may have flaws but at least it's a start to a sane policy towards supplying something that most people in modern societies take for granted.

The closed US government defines how a minority of Americans still think they have the right to deny their fellow citizens any real chance of a quality future.

Where was all this self-righteous outrage when Bush/Cheney were acting as absolute monarchs starting wars without cause for profit and completely ignoring the constitution.

Obama hasn't started any new wars and he's avoided taking America into a brutal civil war in Syria. He's also begun talking to an old enemy in Iran that may make the entire world safer. Not liking him for his race is just wrong.
Race has nothing to do with it. What race is he anyway.
And did not Bush and Cheney have the support of both dems and repubs in congress? Why does everyone convienently forget that fact?

I really just wonder why the world war one memorial has not been closed.

Part of the human race.

Yep, after scaring the sh*t out of everyone with a pack of lies and making backroom deals they got the support they needed for their illegal wars.
Why does everyone convienently forget that fact?
Same reason their supporters forget they lied to everyone about everything and walked away billionaires for doing it.

Come on, the US can enforce all the Park rules ever invented (and then some) when the OWS does a few things wrong but bankers can steal trillions and they get a free pass. That isn't the true justice system, convict an few and impale them on sharp fence post and pretty soon the few cents are not needed becuse nobody is breaking the laws (that would call for the death penalty). That would free up the courts to deal with the lesser crimes that deserve compensation and money is next important to the breath of life to most people.

Based on Jimmy Kimmel?

No, based upon the responses from the people that were asked. The people of the good old United Stupid of America! The same people that re-elected the morons who mortgaged another trillion bucks to pay a bunch of wealthy bankers and then kept all their money in those same banks who stole 30-50% of their pensions.

I assume to veterans memorial is usually staffed with security. Without security it would be quite terrorist target. If the gov took no action to keep people out and a pipe bomb went off there would be lawsuits everywhere.

Of course it does, and his father is Kenyan so you figure out what race that makes him.

Using the entire US intelligence apparatus to scam the country into supporting invading Iraq doesn't make the war legitimate, where are the WMDs that we were told were ready to be launched at America at any moment? Thousands of lives and trillions of dollars have been lost due to Republican corruption, but the lunatic fringe in the party has convinced itself that the Kenyan born, Muslim fundamentalist, communist black president is destroying the country because he wants his fellow citizens to have something as basic as affordable healthcare.

The Tea Party is just one more scam coming from the same sector of US society that brought the war in Iraq and economic meltdown in 2008. And they don't care how much damage they do to get their way, that much should be more than obvious by now.

Can you expand your comments on the same sector? And would you explore thee internationalist sector and their associations with the US monarchic sector previously mentioned? The whole of the political spectrum in the USA would seem of the lunatic fringe excepting those accused of same of course. It appears to me to be a bit upsidedown like it already capsized some time the past and games kept them too busy to notice.


What terrorists?

Al Somethingorother, they hate us because we haven't heard of them yet.

Both sides are concern-trolling the public because non of those sleazebags really cares about what's right, just who they think they can blame.

Hired hoars the lot of them. Rubbin' their grubby hands and flacid peckers in the national smoking library whilst sipping Canadian Club.

Cruz, Rubio and their sidekick Dumbo got a real drubbing by fellow Republicans over their plan.
Oops - Right - they had no plan.
Reason why the Repubs are upset as hell.
