I understand the smilie. But it brings up an old question....can we say anything we want as long as put up a smilie?
Hurtful words often come in the form of seemingly good-natured teasing. Do you know how many girls have fallen into the clutches of eating disorders because they're teased about their "chubby cheeks" or whatever?
I'm not an attorney, but I very highly respect them. I get tired of all the lawyer jokes, ribbing, teasing, etc. After awhile, it just gets old. I know a couple of attorneys who, in social settings, won't tell people they're lawyers.
I've been involved in some matters where I would have lost my shirt if it had not been for the sharp eye of an attorney. So I just thought I'd try to be a voice that says, "I think lawyers are great" and I admire the profession.
The solution to this problem is you telling us what you do for a living so we can make fun of you instead.
