Try graduating from law school then pass the bar exam. After that you can bash lawyers all day long

Law school = 3 years
Med school = 4 years then 3-5 years residency + 1-3 years fellowship = 7-11 years.

I am not impressed with your answer. The bar is a joke. You could train a chimp to pass it.

No, actually we can bash lawyers all day long without passing the bar first.

Cry me a river why don't you. I'm assuming that by your response you're either a lawyer or someone who aspires to be one. Well, in let me fill you in on something. When someone acts like an idiot, we're allowed to laugh at that no matter what job they do or how long they went to school for it. 99.9% of people in this country could never be President but I'm sure almost every one of them has laughed as something dumb that Bush has done or said. Do you understand now? Good, now stfu, realize that these are funny, and get over yourself.

So in order to bash anything I must be qualified? You sound like a lawyer in training. Passing the bar apparantly isn't a good judge of how well a person grasps common sense.

When you bash something from now on, your hypocritical ways will be very apparant, just like a lawyer!

Even if passing the Bar were an accomplishment, how much respect can you give someone who puts that much effort into acquiring the privilege to be a blood-sucking scumbag?

I dont understand the readiness of people to bash lawyers...
half of these quotes are fine on the lawyers portion and the witness is the one being the idiot.
Topic should be changed "people in general are brilliant"
