I think I remember at least one of the curve balls, you mentioned it in the thread "how are you feeling" a while back if I'm not mistaken. Hope you're feeling better and sorting out everything.

As for me, I'm just trying to study the most I can. I've recently graduated from university and got my degree in Law. After that, you mainly have two options here in Brazil - to be a private lawyer or public service jobs. You have to take exams to be able to do any of the two. I've already passed the exams to be a lawyer but that's not what I want to do so I'm studying to apply to the exams for public service jobs, i.e federal police, judge, prosecutor, state lawyer etc. They're more difficult than the exams to be a private lawyer. Hopefully I'll be able to grab something good until 2016.

I don't know how people have the steel to be able to be impartial by defending a criminal. I mean what if you knew the perp was guilty but had the means to defend him/her and set him/her free? I dunno, to hard for me.

In an ideal world you would be there to make sure he gets the punishment he deserves, no more no less. Even if he's guilty, perhaps the prosecutor/judge will try to sentence him to more years than what he deserves, your job would be to make his sentence fair. People seem to think if you're defending a criminal it is because you think what he did is right but it is not like that. When you are a state lawyer you can afford to do that. If you're a private one unfortunately you cannot, because if you won't do your best to set him free there are others who will, so you would be missing a lot of potential clients.

Didn't say you look alike, you presumptuous cunt. This is, supposedly, an Australian Chelsea fan called Jake, who blew himself up in Iraq today.

Is it too much that part of me had hoped that it was you?

Holy shit, that is fucking hilarious in a macabre sort of way. Good to know ISIS doesn't discriminate on race, only everything else.

They're barbaric animals, but they're not racists!

They'll literally take anyone. In Lebanon alone it is reported that at least half a dozen Christians have joined ISIS in Syria!

Never heard of him, but google says he's probably the pundit. I have to deal with BeIN pundits, a station who's basically owned by the same family as PSG. Their smug faces make me sick!

He is an American footballer that is famous because he had a red beard and long hair during the 94 World Cup. He isn't biased or anything, he is just one of those boring cunts that states the obvious.
