No thanks. I mean, I can’t turn down assignments or anything at my firm, but I’m also not a slave most days. And I have a decent chance of making partner one day.

Is it like cancer? I’ve never been pregnant, but I feel like everything causes cancer. Literally everything.

Yeah. You definitely go there for the money. I know a lot of attorneys, though, who went to a firm like that for five years to pay off their student debt and then got the hell out. I think it’s really hard to make partner at a place like that.

But we are talking about whether there are “women” on the case. There very well could be female associates who are not making “liquid gold” as you term it. And given the rate of female partners to male partners, it is more likely that a female on the case is an associate and not a partner. Acting as if every attorney…

No. If you feel that there are cases that you have moral objections to and could not do, then you should not be a lawyer. Or you should open your own boutique firm that only specializes in one particular type of law where you can pick your cases. But no attorney who has student loans has the financial means to open…

Yeah, in the sense that if they don’t take the case and get fired, they would have no job and no income. But, yeah, let’s expect lawyers to do something that no other professional would do.

You don’t understand at all what it means to work for a law firm. I could never turn down a case assigned to me by partners simply because I’m a woman and don’t believe in the case. That would get me fired, and for good reason. Attorneys are paid to do a job. Just like any other profession. And if you are representing…

Yeah. I can drink coffee if there is chocolate involved. I actually enjoy the peppermint mochas from Starbucks. But they also have a lot of calories, so it’ s not like I’m going to be getting one every day just to get a caffeine fix. I save them for desperate days.

Wine is also always a good choice :)

No shit sherlock. I didn’t say others can’t like it because I don’t like it. The very purpose of a comment is to offer my “opinion.”

Wouldn’t help. I have overly sensitive bitter taste buds I think. I feel the same about beer.

Lol.

The only purpose for coffee is caffeine. It tastes like crap (come at me). So why would you drink it if you aren’t getting caffeine? This makes no sense.

Let’s all remember this is also the same guy who tried to redefine rape in the federal code as “forcible rape”.

No shit. I have no idea what this woman is talking about. I assume she just got medical power of attorney, which can be given to a girlfriend, fiance, or best friend. But a fiance has no legal standing to make medical decisions absent a medical power of attorney.

Absolutely. The republican party is inherently contradictory. On one side, it believes that religion should govern things - abortion, for example. On the other side, it believes that we should be governed by social darwinism- no welfare. So, basically, they choose whichever theory - opposite as they are - will allow…

Yeah, you’re way too sensitive. I’m not spreading any agenda. I’m white, blonde, 5’8” and decently attractive. So I’m not shitting on white attractive women (or myself). My point was that I actually thought they were more targeted than minorities by serial killers, but that does not seem to be the case. I don’t see…

Got it. When the author wrote it was about “a colonial farmhouse”, I got really confused because I thought the headline meant it was about that specific farmhouse. Just a weird word issue that messed me up.

I’m so confused by this. Did she not agree to let them film at her house? Or is her house the real house and they filmed somewhere else? The way the story is written, it’s as if the filming took place at her house about a haunting at “a colonial farmhouse” somewhere else. Somebody please explain.

And....that’s why your son is a rapist. Because people who grow up feeling they are entitled to everything also think they are entitled to sex.
