Anti-Corruption and Public Interest Act

How has anything I said related to the person?

I was just mocking your deflection from the issues Icehorse & I were discussing.
You ignored those entirely to make it about Poco instead.
All in good clean fun.

Lol, i see.

I wasn't trying to make it about any person. I was trying to point out that the issues you were discussing were not addressing actual issues in the bill.

So the OP & I were discussing issues, &
you object to that discussion...but only
to my side of it, & for the wrong reason.
How strange.

I am fine with you discussing issues. However I find you persistence in discussing issues that avoid addressing the OP's OP questionable.

Well then...you should complain to the OP that he shouldn't
encourage me by responding with keen wit & thoughtful insight.

Now you are discussing your issue with my issue with your issue and we still have uet to find any reasonable objection to the bill mentioned in the OP.

They're in the business of exercising power.
Spending taxes on weapons lets them project power around the world.
And they could be used for defense too.
This exercise of global of power is rewarded by voters.
And staying in office is the primary goal.

Not buying it. I think greed is a much more parsimonious answer.

But as a lawyer, she favors
corruption which benefits her & her profession.

I agree that we need to find ways to reduce lawyering in this country.

Incompetence is rife in both judges & lawyers.

Casinos are far better run than the courts.
I've been in both.

No, our legal system is quite corrupt.
Consider that judges were once practicing lawyers, & will be again.
This incentivizes them to feather their nests.

Geez, it really should be against the rules here to express blatant irrational bigotry toward and denigration of members of a profession.

If lawyers do their job well 50% of the people hate them. People dislike lawyers because they don't understand the law. The law should be more accessible, but as conflicts abound and people push for more laws, the law gets complicated and people tend to not think about it until they are already in trouble.

I'm more cynical.
I think voters really want to project good (& occasionally revenge) out into the world.
But they & their leaders just muck things up, ultimately perpetrating lots'o evil.

We're so fortunate lawyers are fair game.
I've personally seen & experienced their corruption & destructive incompetence.
They really have become a cancer which drags the country down.
Alas, no reform is on the horizon.

Do you know how many lawyers it takes to shingle a roof?

It depends on how thinly you slice them.

I agree with everything you said here. Yet, in my experience, the bigots who make idiotic "lawyer jokes" invariably deny that their irrational animus has anything to do with having lost in court.
