  1. Oh, and to Oregon fans, the Illini football team says.. You're welcome!
  2. HUUUUUUUGE win for Illinois! We have sucked for years...NO MORE!!! Time to drink beer!!
  3. i want it, but i am waiting for rock band, and then i'll compare em before buying...
  4. by the thread title, i thought i'd be reading that someone is mad that they keep building structures diagonally across rivers to hold back water.
  5. Woohoo Congrats! I get to really be a lawyer Nov 8th! it was a big relief to find out i passed character and fitness...
  6. Mix tapes made by taping songs off the radio. The era when videogame processing power was rated by how many "bits" a system had.
  7. as an adult, the son would have been guilty of battery... the previous actions would not have justified his coming up to the other kid in gym class and whacking him on the nose unless he was about to be harmed himself. that said, i agree completely with what the kid did and regardless of what the school did, it's great he stuck up for himself.
  8. this is pretty low... http://www.hno.harvard.edu/gazette/2001/06.14/01-cold.html
  9. This is not a comment directed at any poster here, just my impression of the topic in general: I find it particularly intriguing how in discussing a topic such as this, it's not too much of a stretch to imply that yes, racially there are physical differences that may be characteristic of one race and not of another, but that it's much trickier to insinuate a difference in "natural" intelligence because of the connotations of racial superiority and inferiority that it implies. If anyone thinks I am oversimplifying this, please let me know, but the way I see it is this: obviously, we know that there are races that are more likely to have certain characteristics that other races do not have as much (as has been mentioned - pigmentation, weight, size, etc). If the brain is a physical thing, is it that hard to think that perhaps certain races have a predisposition to be smarter than others on physical traits alone? how is being different in the brain any different from differences in pigmentation, digestive characteristics, etc? As has been said, I'm also of the mind that societal and upbringing influences on the individuals pretty much levels the playing field, as there are smart and dumb people of all races, but I do think that there's gotta be something different....
  10. it takes two to tango. there are tons of legal instances where you owe no duty to someone until you put them in a bad (or worse) situation. i think it's kind of like interference with business relationships... 2 parties have an agreement/oath/whatever, 3rd party comes along and screws everything up... i know, overly simplistic. anyway, im not looking at this from a lawyerly perspective. i grew up very much respecting and valuing the marital institution, due to my upbringing. i am also very loyal and value loyalty and trust very much, so this kind of thing irks me a bit. The way i see it, if you want to go with a married chick, or if the married chick wants to go with another guy, just get a divorce. i knew what crim conversation was, i was just curious as to whether it was still actually enforced anywhere.
  11. Is "criminal conversation" still on the books? I know they touched on it in bar review... I say good for the plumber. I don't see it as a property thing. I see it as a "some dude fucked my life up by wrecking my marriage, that shouldn't be OK" thing.
  12. Not only that, but he's ROOTING FOR THE RED SOX!!!

  20. Thanks! Illinois... hopin to work in Chicago, lookin for jobs and such now...
  21. Nope...was studying the few weeks prior so I didn't go to the dz for about 3 or so weeks before the exam. As far as morals go, you don't lose them when you pass the bar, you lose them when you take the LSAT to get INTO law school!
  22. Thanks! Good luck to your g/f! What state did she take it in?
  23. Well, I'm not gloating just yet, because with my luck all the available jobs will be out of state, requiring another exam....
