seems it would make client-development as well as friendship development more difficult.

Yeah 'cuz we all vet our clients before we accept them. I don't know about you, but my clients are corporations and as long as they aren't pressuring me to do something illegal or they aren't doing something illegal and want me to be a partner in their crime (and of course as long as they pay their bill), they can be my client.

I guess I could think of a few fact patterns short of illegal activity that would cause me to kick a client to the curb, but in general, if what I am doing for them falls within the bounds of the rules of professional responsibility and they pay their bills, they can be my client. If the people who work for the corporation are abusive, I may not put up with that for long.

As for friendship, I am not just friends with anyone. Acquaintances, sure, but friends have to be the type of person who earns my respect. My friends think like me on this point, too. I have ended friendships when people lost my respect. Which isn't to say that a simple mistake would be enough to end a friendship. But when someone does something egregious enough or shows a particularly negative side of themselves that I had previously not seen, that gets them kicked out of my circle of friends.

You think he'd listen anyone but Vanessa?

Don't encourage people to do those things by visiting websites like that. Animal cruelty is the sign of a sick mind and if you laugh at it or otherwise derive enjoyment from it you are one sick fucking asshole.

JFC people.

Do you have a sense of humor? Have you ever posted anything on these boards that might confirm that you do?

Please don't take the Lord's name in vain like this. Violating a commandment is the sign of a damned soul, and if anyone laughs at it or otherwise derives enjoyment from it, they are likely damned, too.

Animal cruelty is not funny. It is disturbing and if you find it funny, you are disturbed.

Would it have been so funny to you if it were a dog? It is sick that so many men find it funny to be cruel to cats like that. Just plain sick.

You are asinine. There are myriad studies showing the relationship between animal cruelty and psychopathology. Educate yourself.

This is what Woodward and Bernstein called a "non-denial denial." Nicely done.

But none of those studies looked at kitties in bottles, I'll wager.

I don't know if he was part of any study or anything, but Shape Shifter's mom caught him with a sheep once. I know he at least had to talk to doctors.

Whatever, Ty. I know that you are a rational enough person to know I am right on this. You just want to argue with me because you are bored today.

What does any of this have to do with your language?

You should show some respect to those of us on the board who have faith.

Maybe I wouldn't be so bored if you had a sense of humor. Did you ever think of that?

There are a few topics that aren't funny to me - like animal cruelty and rape. If you think those are funny topics, you are one sick puppy.
