There's a lot of lawyer hate out there. In my opinion, lawyers are how civilized people handle disputes. Most of those who hate lawyers seem to think it's better to simply assault people you don't like; that is, might makes right, and violence is how disputes should be settled. Lawyers are how we avoid such an outcome and are thus to be respected, not put down.
Thoughts?

there is a novel i recall, can't quite remember it's title. it involves some aliens coming to earth and saying to humans "we solved our lawyer problems generations ago". always found that funny.
wait i know another lawyer joke:
"some terrorists have taken 100 lawyers hostage and are threatening to release one every hour if their demands are not met."

"Uniting Superman, Batman and a handful of others, "Justice League" offers snappy and far-flung story lines. When Green Lantern goes on trial before a galactic tribunal, the show works in a nice point about accountability and some zingers at the legal profession: A bodiless alien judge ominously declares, "We solved our lawyer problem years ago!" "Justice League" offers plenty of outlandish spectacle, with the three-part pilot cheerfully cribbing from The War of the Worlds, in which the heroes unite to fight destructive martian tripods. But "Justice League" will mostly appeal to comic book fans who get a kick out of seeing obscure villains like Gorilla Grodd and Sinestro resurrected.

mortgage the future of your kids, for disputes arising from nowhere,
that could have been avoided in a civilized society where there is at
least a minimum level of trust based on social harmony.
Thank heaven homo homini lupus (man is a wolf to man)!! 😏
*Please insert here the lawyers' anthem*
Amen!
*gives away his business cards*
Now, seriously, people... do not confuse lawyers in the U.S. with
lawyers of the rest of the world. Obvious differences apart, I've seen
no society in the world where a person with a brain can really accept
coffee is freaking hot and McDonald's really does not have to put
a legend in the paper cup saying so... or a pen saying 'do not drink
the ink', for crying out loud!! 😞

Lawyers look at every point, komma, etc and read everything literally!
And not at the thought behind a law. 😞
And that's why most people hate them so much, just like those pencil suckers at your local cummunity office.
