Maybe you've never been in business and done work for someone and not been paid, or been a landlord and a deadbeat moves in and gives you an 1800 dollar bad check.

Gotta sue just to get the deadbeat out.

But if you've never been in that situation you might feel superior in never needing one of those sccumbag lawyers.

Or you could just let folks screw you out of the money.

Owned my own business, aviation parts & repair, just never needed to sue anyone. Don't feel superior, its just the luck of the draw, ergo my comment. You guys sure are sensitive today. TBS, I still think most lawyers are shysters, even my friends who are in the profession and I know quite a few... we just focus on other things in life other than work...

I just never like taking whole groups and saying "all people from Texas are gun loving shoot first and ask questions later cowboy idiots". You know, stuff like that.

There are three occupations that have the lowest rates.....

The first would be Clergy. This would include Nuns.

By a more defined occupation I would say the lowest rate would be found among Popes. Not a single incident throughout recorded human history.

President of the United States is also an occupation that seems devoid of this, but there is some speculation that Harding actually died from it.

I am temped to say oil industry workers because over a many, many year period of working in a company that had around 80,000 employees I can only think of two cases. We actually discussed this once and decided that everyone was too tired at the end of the day to put forth the effort.

I thought that was the subject at hand.

Has the topic changed?

Are you REALLY trying to say

"all people who are cops from Texas are gun loving shoot first and ask questions later cowboy idiots".

That is strictly a hypothetical example chosen to make folks think about it.

I see you changed my quote to say cops. I did not say cops.
