Originally posted by Moliere View PostThere's a couple billboard signs on my drive home that make me laugh and this is one of them:
I believe most of the lawyers on this board are good guys and good lawyers but lawyers in general have a bad rep and I tend to think it's due to people like Chad Pinkerton.
I have seen numerous advertisements, particularly on television in New York, for such services. They all seem to be rather the same: you have been maligned, you might be the little person in the fight, we will help you.
I fail to see how this fellow's advertisement is any different from the them of the rest. Rather, it seems he conveys precisely the message he needs to those who have been injured. It is his business , as it were, to propagandise his services thus, correct?
I am new here and there are a lot of things I fancy about this place, but taking blows at others is bad karma, mate, and seems unbecoming of a place that would like to be thought of as a community, particularly one that may not be affiliated formally with our church, but will always be loosely considered as such.
This applies far more to other postings I have read here than this but it struck me as I read this that this place seems to have veered far away from community in many senses. My sojourn here may be short and sporadic, admittedly, but this is my distinct impression of the place.
Would it not be better if we all used our real names? Would that not elevate the tone of discourse here? The fellow you cite uses his name, yet you do not...seems boorish to criticise in anon.

Friends mother traveled to Europe. She's old and frail - needs a cane to walk. She was going through the automatic doors at a hotel, when they slammed shut suddenly. She was knocked to the ground, hit her head, was bruised in several places and had a slight concussion. Someone at the hotel helped her up. She complained to the hotel manager about the door - and his response was essentially "Yeah, that door is kind of bad. You've got to watch it or it could hurt you."
No scrambling to offer free stays or reduction in her rate. Gotta imagine if this was in the US the door would've been fixed by now and momma would have some new shoes!

I will have to take a pic of the billboard that I have of myself on I-15. It says simply:
WANT RESULTS?
UteStar - Businessman, American Patriot, Lover of Results and Justice
I am shirtless and I have a $1,000 bill in my hand, a bald eagle on my shoulder and an american flag draped over my other shoulder. I don't even need to describe what kind of business services I am selling. My phone has been ringing off the hook.
