No wonder you're so cranky all the time.

Exactly. See Sidd, I really am a nice guy, it's just this job thing that has me so bent.

Your sources suck. I do not think that any slave, Hebrew or not, who volunteered to schlep larger sandstone blocks could be called a padder.

• So they put slave masters over them to oppress them with forced labor, and they built Pithom and Rameses as store cities for Pharaoh. But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and spread; so the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites and worked them ruthlessly. They made their lives bitter with hard labor in brick and mortar and with all kinds of work in the fields; in all their hard labor the Egyptians used them ruthlessly.

Exodus 1:11-14. Sounds like Latham, actually. Shalom!

Typical SiVal firm, which means they are still cooler and more humane than NY firms, but it's all relative.

oh so you were equating the padders to the slave masters, and I guess analogizing to young P senior A guys skimming off the work of the newbies. Remind them then Atticus, for the bonus and extra shares they are running a serious risk of dead first born son.

{Sigh.} I guess the reason Jesus got away with using parables is that he gave us 102,500 Sundays in which they could be explained by certified technicians. I don't have the same patience or manpower. Shalom!

2 Corinthians 1:6
If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer.

Ephesians 4:2
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

1 Thessalonians 5:14
And we urge you, brothers, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone.

Christians should be patient.

From the Bible verses listed above, it is clear Christians should be patient with other people. This means continuing to be loving and kind toward others even when they do bad things to you. It means being kind even to people who have done wrong.

Note how this is different from the common idea in our culture of "tolerance." The popular notion of tolerance is that there is no such thing as good and bad, or right and wrong, therefore we must accept people no matter what they do. Christians recognize that some acts are wrong. The Bible calls this sin. Christians are expected to love and accept others even when they do wrong or sin. This is patience. This is true tolerance.

How can I be patient?

Sometimes people do things that are so infuriating it seems impossible to be patient. Yet Christians are expected to be kind and loving even in these situations. How can I be patient in extremely difficult situations? The Bible teaches that Christians have a special source of power to live life in a way that pleases God. That power is the spirit of God living in each Christian ( John 14:15-21). By praying to God we can ask for help to be patient.

I'm from back east.does whiff translate here? or should i do a response from gsm's lingo- "you are 10% correct Frodo"

2000? 2400? Legal Theology???
 

Hank, you don't litigate, do you?

And just because I'm trying to reach 2400 hours and can't leave the office yet (I kid), I don't believe the "common idea" of tolerance in "our culture" means there is no good or bad. I think it just means not making final determinations on something's value (particularly not something has complex as human behaivor) without first trying to understand what it is/means and how your own biases (educated or not) play into your interpretation of it. I think this concept dovetails nicely into your promotion of Judeo-Christian patience.

This is way better than the conversations about the prestige of Franklin Pierce Law Center on the other board.

OK, this Penske-style time machine shit is too freaky. Cut it out.

Let's put it this way: There are rumors that Steve Neal has grown a goatee and that he periodically stops GAs in the hallway and demands that they give him their Agonizers.

If you're the sort of GA who can only impress GPs by billing a lot of hours, 2400 won't do it. There are GPs who bill around 3000, at least during a good economy.

I am reliably advised that Paul Hastings is looking to hire mid-level laterals to do corporate work in its SF office.
