The Tao says: the way forward is often to move backward. But, even though The Way may have been written in the Iron Age, I do not believe it contemplated a move back to the Stone Age, where that entity often dwells. Besides, as I have said....discussions of that nature by me require compensation. I would have to be like a dentist there: if they want their teeth all pulled, they have to pay the fee.

That's a mature thing, right? A. Have you truly been that inattentive? How many years have you been a patron of this board? Every other single person who has been here for more than a few months has known that. That is as basic as knowing you went to some school with a mediocre engineering program. B. Not necessarily...it is just a debt thing. How do I know? From 40 years of practicing law and dealing with entire cadres of people who were immature yet still had mortgages.

MLD Woody Posted April 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 A1. Never saw it mentioned. And I think 8 years now? Something like that. Makes a lot of sense though. Engineers/STEM majors are trained to solve problems. You're trained to argue, but not actually fix anything (my biggest issue with politicians). Also why u hear we don't get picked to be jurors a lot. A2. Lol... Mediocre B. I was mostly just joking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might solve math problems, but when it comes to most real world problems.....human problems......there is usually a lawyer involved that either provides the solution, or negotiates the solution. Name any kind of problem you think may exist...and who do people often call to help resolve it? A2. Lol... Mediocre Well...Maybe they are ranked pretty high. But in every bag of gold there are a few pieces of pyrite. Voila! B. I was mostly just joking. But, in your joking you did hit on something.

So, OK, I can see where in a great number of instances a gunsmiths contribution can be a "Final Solution" to a person's problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevertheless....as noted, it was pretty much exclusively and Akron thing because, aren't you originally from like a Cleveland area suburb? And you say you have never heard of it. So, it was not a Cleveland thing, or Columbus or elsewhere. (however, I do think that someone....here or elsewhere, like on Facebook, said they were from Toledo and that the term was used there some). https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Devil's Strip We used the term devils strip here in Stark County(Canton/Massillon) as well! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or attempt to do. Though what you probably think is that lawyers also create problems for others. Even that is not exactly true. It is the Lawyers' clients that create the problems for others. The lawyers are only the implements by which these clients seek redress or remedy of the problem they bring to the lawyers. When you obtain more life experience, you will understand this. I don't know what kind of engineering you may do, but I assume that you consider yourself a professional. Would you expect to see any Joe Blow off the street to perform the professional tasks that you perform in your occupation? I don't think so. And would you want your fellow civil/electrical/mechanical/whatever engineer handling your divorce for you? Or to defend you from criminal allegations, or professional malpractice allegations? I don't think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLD Woody Posted May 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 The job of a lawyer is to argue for their client. Even if their client isn't correct. They're trained to argue. Doesn't matter for what. They aren't solving problems. Again, that's the bigger issue with politicians IMO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that shows that you have about as much of a clue of what lawyers do as the person who says that the job of all engineers is to drive a train. We are trained to advocate, but trust me, we know what we are advocating for. And also trust me that the problems that exist that lawyers deal with DO get solved, be it that they are settled or decided, they ARE solved. I do not have a single file in my 40 years that did not result in a resolution. And yet, even that is a small portion of what lawyers do. There is far, far more counseling, advising and negotiating that goes on than "arguing". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you resolve a dispute, you come to a solution. At least on Planet Earth. Advocating isn't problem solving But it leads to solving problems. Trust me. That is like saying that there is no math problem that can be solved by doing either addition, subtraction, multiplication or division. Maybe I was too kind to you when I laid off about you attending the school you did. If you don't understand the basics of human nature, of conflict resolution...you must be living in some kind of a bubble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. My son...who I think is not far off Woody's age, has both more academic smarts and common sense. He understands that there are different disciplines, and that with those different disciplines have different methods by which "problems" are solved. I mean, take a custody dispute. He has no clue how such a thing would be resolved...or how to arrive at a solution to the differing positions that two parties may take over such a matter that does not involve advocacy and negotiation. Maybe he has come up with some magic mathematical equation that resolves it. If so....he needs to advise the Ohio Supreme Court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
