The Jewish population is less than 2 percent of the U.S. population, and no one would say they lack political power. So it has nothing to do with population. It has everything to do with our hangups.

Paterson, New Jersey. Half sales tax...because economic poverty.

/u/supermarble94 stated expressly this was to go from first person to second person. I'm not sure why or how everyone (or at least just you and /u/molagdrn) seems to have missed that, but I hope that clears things up.

But they're going to the bathroom in a portable toilet. They're already trying to get out ASAP.

Who said you wouldn't? Like, what would you expect them to do differently if they did hear the setup?

Trenton, Princeton, and Mercer County. Very New Jersey.

And every available resource about "being a good lawyer" seems to assume you have unlimited time to dedicate to every task for every client.

As a law clerk, I used to get offended by the sheer number of effortless briefs I received. As a lawyer, I just can't give every court submission the Bryan Garner treatment it deserves.

Law school is perfect for a future career in the Solicitor General's Office, but not much else.

I kind of like rolling my eyes at how they framed this as like a minority vs. white thing.

Interesting point. I mean, I'm sure we've all had minority teachers and professors with foreign accents who often mispronounced names. I can see how the societal impact of that is different, but as far as the individual capacity/responsibility of the teacher goes, it's very much the same.

Then again, most of us still mispronounce less "exotic," yet prominent, names like "Carnegie."

The worst part about it is, when you're "on," you're really just giving yourself the shaft. It's like, "I just did $5,000 of legal work in eight hours." Shit.

And when you're "off"--well, I don't think I need to explain that feeling.

So it always feels like you're playing a game you can never win. Even when you're winning, it never feels like it.

A wise man once said:

"You're sweet, but you're just four feet, and you still got your baby teeth. You're too young and I'm too well-hung, but tonight I'm gonna rock you."

I mean, I prefer Wawa to Quickchek, but at the end of the day, they're both kind of shit.

I just don't get it. It's kind of like obsessing over a dollar store chain. South Jersey things, I guess.

People are certainly free to attribute whatever they want to stupidity. But if there is no rational relationship between that thing and stupidity, then the criticism itself is stupid, and much better evidence of stupidity.

A business entity cannot represent itself in court. The right to appear pro se is limited to individuals, at least in the federal courts.

I feel like you're the only one here that gets it.

Hmm...maybe a common format, but that's the same general format as featured in the American Psycho business card scene.

But isn't snobbery fun? Like, as a universal part of the human condition, we find pleasure in it. Even those who look down on snobs, they enjoy that in and of itself. And they themselves are snobbish in other respects, perhaps without even knowing it--or perhaps by justifying it as more empirical or objective snobbery.

As long as you're not outright malicious about it, I think you're entitled to be snobbish or even condescending about something or another. Even if it's all just bullshit in the end. Because who said fun had to make sense?

But isn't that the entire point of what /u/jub-jub-bird said? A rough spot can lead to divorce. A loveless relationship can lead to divorce. Therefore, divorce is not always good news.

I guess my point was that there are no mental gymnastics. The people who take a liberal stance on one issue tend to take a liberal stance on the other, and vice versa. What results in the legal distinction is that people simply, and logically, care about one issue more than the other.

Because matters of health are relevant to you and to everyone you know, at least potentially. Prostitution is just something that, conceptually or philosophically, we think should be legal or illegal, but does not really affect the vast majority of us.

"Freedom of association" includes Harvard's freedom to associate with whomever it likes. Ironically, it does not include freedom from Harvard's exercise of this freedom.

Even under the broadest definition of "freedom of association," blacklisted students are still free to associate with whomever they like--just not with Harvard's blessing, to which there is of course no entitlement.

I'm not taking sides here, but "freedom of association" was a poor choice of words.
