Always. Watching.
I take it you didn't make law review?
Actually I'm basically on board with this sentiment, but I am definitely a believer that people can post whatever the **** they want when using *their* own social media...

I pity you. Such a lack of confidence in your "argument" that you insist on failinh to articulate any coherent thought. At least mix in some logic with your ad hominems.cortknee wrote:zanda wrote:Why yes, because engagements are clearly a zero-sum game. Hooray strawmen!

Honestly I am disgusted by anyone who would still defend this. Think about the pre-facebook equivalent: having an LR t-shirt made? Announcing it over and over? Painting "ZOMG 4th CALLBACK!" on your garage? Stop trying to defend being a dick.
In the context of a significant number of your facebook friends facing a lifetime of loneliness and shitty relationship prospects, it is absolutely inappropriate to gloat about getting engaged.This about the pre-facebook equivalent: WEaring a large diamond ring? Putting a wedding announcement in the paper, sending out wedding invitations, shower invitations. Painting "Just Married" on the back of your car? Stop trying to defend being a dick.
"I'm in law school, I have special feelings. I think I know what a straw man is."
What a bunch of babies. Guess what, you ain't special no more.

I probably am missing the point, because I stopped reading after I got near-terminal douche chills halfway down the first page.

Awesome when people want you to use logic when they are talking about their pansy feelings because they didn't get what they wanted.
Maybe now people will see how smart you are, not that you are just smarting from your spanking. Sorry you spent all that money pal. Why don't you all talk about logical fallacies and notice how many posts a person has, maybe then you will stop crying.

I think it's safe to say a lot of the posters in this thread did really well in law school. Modesty =/= failure in law school.cortknee wrote:Awesome when people want you to use logic when they are talking about their pansy feelings because they didn't get what they wanted.

Well, you're just being harsh at this point. But interesting how critical you are of my position on this topic when you are arguably trying to defend people's right to take a critical position on what someone else says. And your reading and interpretation of my initial post took at least as much 'illiteracy' in terms of liberties and stretching it (to somehow tie in the First Amendment) as my comments. But we could go on like this ad infinitum. I respectfully bow out and bid you a good day.zanda wrote:That's not what I said, but I admire your commitment to the illiteracy role.

They're like friend "groups" that allow you to share certain information with only certain people. So you can tell Google+ to share your bar pics with your friends but not your coworkers, or your "Hey, this awesome thing happened in my career" excitement from your competitors.swc65 wrote:Z3RO wrote:

You know what Buddha would not have done? I'll tell you what Buddha would not have done. He wouldn't have had 50,000 law students locked into a thunderdome battling in a zero-sum game with too little feedback to meaningfully improve over 30,000 jobs of which under a third are strongly desirable all while taking on 5 to 6 figures in non-dischargable debt.
He'd not do that, and you'd Mudita all over your pants at his wisdom.
