The perks only appear if you're doing your job right!

Pundits.

Some middle management exist to do nothing. Fob this off, blame someone else for that, do 10 minutes paperwork and then hide in the office for an hour, brown nose superiors, go home complaining about your job.

Clowns. The only skill they are meant to have is to make people laugh. Anyone that isn't seemingly afraid of them is depressed by them.

Human Resources

Backstabbing fookers who would screw you over to protect the company

When HR smile and tell you their door is always open and they want to hear your issues then you should stay away!

Reality television stars and 90% of radio hosts, weather presenters, chuggers, 90% of 'Elf and Safety types, 90% of quangos and focus groups, and half the civil service.

In a democratic society you will need criminal and civil law to regulate behaviour and contracts etc

Well if you say so.

I've been wondering why I hadn't been called to a jury in a hospital lately. Should we operate? All in favor say ai

The law is inevitably complicated at times because human behaviour is complicated and it is right that people should not be sent to prison on a whim

Are you saying we need lawyers so that people don't get to prison on a whim (i don't see why) or because they have a greater understanding of human behaviour? How?

I can see the need for a judge in some matters (i didn't mean lawyer in this widest sense) but i still think that we could manage just fine without solicitors, barristers etc. I don't buy this whole argument that the law is so complicated only they can understand it, surely at this stage we can develop a code of law that a lay person can comprehend.

Who do you suggest we replace our court officers with? You could argue that any human being could become proficient in any profession if they dedicate years of time and practice to it.

boo3000 · 26-07-2012 01:18AM

Well im making the point that comparing law to medicine isn't comparing like to like.

I don't see the need to have experts in law. If we had a code of laws that could be comprehended by lay people there would be no need for experts.

As it stands we just have an unnecessary group of people who translate arguments in and out of legal speak. Lawyers, to the space ship.

When i hear court officer i think of the guy that does the typing, do they charge 200 quid an hour as well?

A broad legal knowledge is not something a person can acquire overnight, You're talking about a vast diverse subject with many different facets and areas of expertise which people build careers specialising in alone. I don't think it's realistic to suggest that centuries of the common law can be whittled down to the bare bones. What will happen in criminal law for instance, who will defend and prosecute?

On a side note the legal profession is currently on it's knee's in this country, particularly at solicitor. Sole practitioners have seen a 60% decrease in earnings per annum and countless solicitors are unemployed. So in Ireland at least the profession is not the golden goose you seem to think it is.

For me it's lawyers, they do nothing for society but translate arguments into and out of legal speak and charge a fortune for it. We don't need them, goodbye.

Just look at what the ****ers have done with sport. The sporting associations can't even have sanctions for drug cheats without the wonderful words "Court of Arbitration for Sport" coming up.
