Pro bono bullshit

No, more like fuck those people who want to guilt-trip others into doing what the guilt-trippers think is right. There’s no absolute right and wrong, you know, just people’s opinions.

No, but Muffin has, quite thoroughly.

God damn, Randy, you really are fucking retarded.

And in further news, sun to rise in East tomorrow.

Quite a statement there from someone who purports to be a lawyer.

Cue 1,000 posts of **Rand **telling us that the sun has no *real obligation *to do so.

EL–why’s that?

Rand, has it struck you yet that none of your whining makes sense if there’s just people’s opinions? If there’s no wrong or right, then there’s nothing wrong or right with guilt-tripping people. If there is something wrong with guilt-tripping people, then there’s something wrong with taking an oath that says you are responsible for pro bono work and not doing it. Full stop.

It strikes me that you haven’t really thought through your ethical positions. That, in and of itself, is pretty problematic.

No. He’s demonstrated his incapability, as a sociopath, of comprehending abstract requirements of conduct. It’s only “If I’m not going to be punished, it isn’t even real”, ad nauseam.

But now he’s telling us that even the law isn’t real, absolute right and wrong even with tangible consequences he can understand; no, there are only people’s opinions.

As for violating his oath as a member of the Bar (assuming he really is one), though, is it possible to conduct oneself unethically if one does not even understand what ethicality is?

He isn’t a sociopath just emotionally retarded. If you continually have to justify your actions, explain your thinking and excuse your beliefs, while everyone tells you that you are morally corrupt, yet you are incapable of any response other than what he can muster, you are simply devoid of insight. Or even the capacity to reflect on information that is presented to you.

It is troubling when children present like this, in the case of adults it is depressing.

Imagine what it is like being Rand Rover - he’s hardly a little ray of sunshine and no matter how much he protests, somewhere in his head he knows he’s a fuckwit.

It may seem that I am criticizing him but in all honesty I feel sorry for him. What sort of person hangs around in an environment where they are held in general contempt? It sure isn’t those with good ego resources. Just ask yourself - what would lead me to hang around a bunch of people who think I am scum? Did you you come up with any life affirming answers?

You just asked THE question when it comes to Rand Rover.

Why pay a dominatrix to piss on him when we’ll do it for free?

Unfortunately, it’s the question he’s asking everyone *else *here. :smiley:

I hang around here for the same reason people watch “people falling down” videos on youtube–it’s fun to watch dumbasses act like dumbasses. Not the most noble pasttime, I admit, but we all need our entertainment.

That’s weird.
Edit: the wanting to be pissed on by the SDMB posters.

See, that is what I mean. You reply with some glib meaningless bullshit. I don’t know anyone who watches* “people falling down” videos on youtube*, whatever they may be, although they may be big in your social circle.

You don’t need to post to read the posts on the SDMB, therefore you must be posting to encourage dumb-asses to act like dumb-asses. That makes you a troll. So which is it? A masochist who likes getting pissed on by SDMB posters, or a troll who wants to encourage dumb-ass posting, or some combination of the two?

In a sense, this may be the Web’s longest text-based “person falling down” video.

Seconded. I was thinking that.

Of course not. The man’s brain must be such a mess of cognitive dissonance, it’s no wonder he spends all day posting to a forum where every single worthwhile person loathes him.

Oh, I dunno, there may have been something with **curlcoat **that was longer. You can’t beat the pair of them for oblivious irony, though.
