If the material is hard, the very smart person will understand more of it than her average classmates, and so will be at an advantage.The curve isn't what I am addressing but rather your assessment of a smart individual doing poorly on easier material. I am arguing the logic of your premise which was that sentence. Your curves are to back it up but like I said before, they lack credible sources to make your aforementioned statement (i.e. smart doing poorly on easier material) valid.Well then you completely missed the point. I didn't say "a very smart person will do worse when the material is easy than when it is hard"; I said "On a forced curve, a very smart person will do worse when the material is easy than when it is hard." The curve in combination with the easy material makes law school difficult by introducing a greater element of random chance than there would be if the material were hard or if there were no curve.Also, that wasn't a premise. The premises was actually that on an easy test, there is less of an opportunity for a smart person to show her superiority than there is on a hard test. Do you disagree with that?

Better to be a "stupid" lawyer than a "smart" Troll living in his dads basement who can't even get in the Marines......oh yeah, I went there.
I make mistakes from time to time unlike you who has the tendency to make huge mistakes every time he posts. I admit when I am at fault because I am not only civilized but also not some damn neanderthal with a computer. As for your second line, so what? You pay male prostitutes $5 to give you oral in a back alley. (1) I am not gay and, (2) I have a trust fund, investments, and a banking accounts with money in them. I have no debt and good credit and I have never been in need of a loan. You needed the army to pay for school whereas I can go to any law school I want without having to take out loans, government grants, or some scholarship money.
Your constant incomprehensible postings of what you believe I am saying which is besides the point and actually what I am not saying in that specific post. That is one inaccuracy and the other is your current post, just because you are in law school does not mean your opinions are considered fact. I may know little about the actual proceedings of law school but your opinion of the law is not more valid than my own. The paying a male prostitute is to show how I view your posts. You post the most ridiculous inaccurate things pertaining to my life from one simple statement I created. It was not to say you were actually "gay" but rather make a point. Also, I would not get disbarred for making such claims if they were presented by your previous statement of, "I can get ass," females have vagina's and in general, heterosexual terms, getting "female private part" would be the correct terminology, not ass. "Ass" is reserved for homosexuals as that is the only orifice they have to engage in sexual acts. However, as stated before, I am just showing you what you look like when you post. You totally misconceive my posts and assert your straw man based logic. Get it? I surely hope so. To everyone else, I am in no way, shape, or form a bigot or homophobe as REALITY has stated. I get along with all races of people and homosexuals.
That would only apply if I said homophobic based remarks. I applaud your failure. Saying someone picks up male prostitutes is not homophobic in any way nor would such a saying get you disbarred. Good luck with law though as you will need more luck because your skills are lacking. I said I don't know much about the, "PROCEEDINGS OF LAW SCHOOL," not the law. You once again you show the primitiveness that is your intellect. This is all too similar to the time you called me racist for calling you an ape when I didn't know your race at the time. Yet, on the other-hand, you have spouted racist rhetoric throughout this forum mainly towards Caucasians.
