Law School Discussion

Reading the crime log in the local paper, a 16 year old kid stole a 30 pack of Busch Light off the back of a distributor truck. He was wearing a t-shirt that said "[CM city] raised me crazy." For some reason, this was hilarious to me and I'm seriously considering making one of these shirts for myself.

Stupid things I said as a 1L:
You mean if I got to room 165 at noon I’ll get free pizza and all I got to do is listen about some group/club/journal/origination/cause/problem? How bad can that be? I’m in!”

I’ve seriously sat through time share sales pitches that were more interesting than most of the crap I went to to get free food. I mean I went to the Black Law Students Association, the Latino Law Association, the Women’s Law Association, the Right to Life law Association, the Pro Choice law association, the law republicans, the law democrats, gay law students for equal right, evangelical law students for stoning people to death who are different, animal law association, BBQ Law group, Native Amercian law students. I had no shame but I did not pay for lunch for near on two years. My pasty white, fat balding male conservative ass would sit in the back of the room and say with a mouthful of free food “speak it brother!” “speak it sister!” “down with men” “free the amainls!” “This is some good BBQ” “You said it homie!” “abort that baby” “save that baby!”. I freely and openly support your [insert cause/compliant/mission here] if you feed me.

On another note, I challenge everyone in this post mod or not, and all the veterans reading this to do a better job of welcoming new posters. We all have a tendency to skip posts that don’t apply to us (like about schools we don’t go to, or LSATs scores we did not get) but that does not mean you can’t pop into a thread and just say “welcome” or point a newb to a regular poster who could help them. Just because you don’t personally have anything to add does not mean you can’t be welcoming anyway.

Its also does not mean you can’t say, as just a poster, cut it out, when some newbi is getting trashed because the only school he caught into was Cooley or something. There is a fine line between offer advice and just trashing, and the just trashing seems to take precedence here or is ignored by the regulars becuas it "does not apply to them" and the newbis leave LSD because they don’t feel welcome. It applies to all of us becuase the more new posetrs we run off the fewer new ideas and prospctives we get. More people might stick around if more people just took a few seconds to pop in a newbi thread and say welcome or here’s a link to a thread that might help you. We, myself included, don’t need to be an insular as we are on this board. New blood is good for everyone.
