Probably because the biggest reason a lot of people go to law school is to land a job where they can make a lot of money and prove how much better they are than everyone. It’s a tradition that goes back to the old country club WASP-owned whiteshow firms of yore.
Hey msmith, how about “no”? Does “no” work for you?
I went to law school because it was that or wait tables with my liberal arts degree. I didn’t even think about money–truth is, I was a bit of a liberal douche myself in undergrad. It surprised the hell out of me when I was in the tippity top of my class and people were slobbering all over themselves to pay me a bunch of money at my first real job. So, you are wrong.
Damn, that’s funny. You have no interest in comparing dicksizes, yet chose to start a thread bragging on your financial success, and managed to casually toss in a comment as to your magnificent physique along the way. 
You were a “liberal douch”, but now that someone threw money at you, you’ve found the truth. Happy you’ve found a mindfuck that works for you!
Meh. I chose to believe that people can get somewhere in life if they work hard, and then I worked hard and got somewhere. I’m not that interested in wether that belief is actually objectively true or not.
Similarly, I’m sure many of my liberal douche brethren have a multitude of lies they tell themselves to explain their inadequacies without any of them being their fault.
Enough with the “liberal douche” language – it’s offensive and insulting. If you wish to be offensive and insulting, take it to the Pit.

Your beer gut?
What?
When you mentioned a 10-inch drop I thought you were referring to a certain of part of your (ahem) anatomy. I only have one suit (bought off the rack at Sears), so I don’t know what the hell that means, or why it would be worth a “Hey-o.”
I am utterly disappointed. I mean, I certainly have had my issues & disagreements with RR, but I came into this thread to read about the lavish expenditures, the vacations overseas, the expensive cars, the flashy life.
A guy my age, with lots of money, and he can’t even have the good grace to spend at least some of it foolishly! Disappointed! 
A–yeah, sorry 'bout that.
Joe–drop is the difference between jacket size and waist size. The “hey-o” was just because I was talking about the length of something, which reminded me of the traditional thing guys brag about the length of, thus prompting the hey-o.
