if 12 year old start fighting with a 33 year old, that doesn't make the 33 year old a 12 year old. You do realize that don't you?
Does it make the 12 year old a 33 year old? That is the question.
No it doesn't because the 12 year old has already been positively identified as a 12 year old. It is the other party that has not been identified.

How is wanting to be a litigator a unique reason to want to go to law school?
Because she backed it up with the fact that the school(s) she wants to attend have a joint MA degree in the field she is interested in. If that's not a good enough reason for wanting to attend a school, and being a transgender drop-out isn't a good enough reason to be an amazing ls candidate, then we are all screwed.

What it's tough to be a tough guy on the internet?

And that you can insult someone without resorting to 12 year old methods?

Geez I promise this is the last post for you.

But ... when you won't address what I wrote, do you expect me to give you a serious answer again? You really gotta be quicker on these things.

Listen, this whole side battle, while interesting, is severely detracting from us bashing the OP. Please continue in PMs.

Thanks.

....But keep the cat pictures coming; they're hilarious.
