Look, I just had this huge discussion with a friend of mine over this exact topic and the bottom line is he was a guy who did his job well. In the current world we live in our legal system while filled with many loopholes is better than anything else out there right now. Carn, despite the fact that you say you dont' think all lawyers are assholes, you seem to think that unless they are doing something supremely good, they are in fact assholes anywas. "None of this pain and suffering mental anguish bullshit." Often this "bullshit" is true. Suppose a women gives birth to a child and the child dies due to negligent care from the hospital...that woman would probably have mental anguish bullshit.
Furthermore, if you wanted to delve deeper, lawyers are here for a reason. If the human race as a whole was perfect than we wouldn't need lawyers so I guess as a society as a whole we are morally bankrupt here. Even more so you do have a point though. That is the exact compromise that we must make as citizens of this country. That law and justice are delicate balancing acts here and that the legal system is inherently flawed in some cases makes a lawyer the "devils advocate of sorts." You even point out that if you "wrongfully sued" you'd get a lawyer...well on the other side of teh fence maybe the person who is trying to sue you felt they were wrongfully screwed out of justice or money etc.
And as far as saying the scientists who invented the atomic bomb were badasses, yes I would say that. They achieved something amazing within the context of science and whether you knew this or not, upon realizing what incredible destruction they have achieved with it, most were horrified.
Finally, OJ was aquitted by a jury of his own peers. Its as much the lawyers good job as it is those 12 people of californias fault.
