Second, I have no problem with lawyers who are ethical and actually try to do good. If I were being wrongfully sued for something, then yes I would definitely get a lawyer. But hiring a lawyer for defense is different than hiring a lawyer so you can squeeze every last penny out of someone who made a mistake.
People who see an opportunity to make an easy buck by stepping one someone else disgust me, and lawyers make it all possible. I believe if you are hit in a car wreck, you should only be compensated so that you are back to where you were before the accident. Ie, car repair bills, hospital bills, etc. None of this pain and suffering and mental anguish bullshit.
Lawyers don't give a shit about ethics or morals or anything as long as they get paid. Well fuck that. And if you want to sue the life out of anyone you can just to get some easy money, then fuck you too.

you're right you didn't call them assholes.. but it seemed like it was intended. My bad.
You say that if you were wrongfully sued for something then you would hire a defense lawyer. What if you were accused of something criminally wrong that you didn't do? Would you still stick to your belief that defense lawyers aren't a good thing?

I fail to see how getting a criminal off the hook is an admirable achievement

I've been in enough court rooms to know that when you are on that stand you are already considered a criminal. Innocent until proven guilty is bullshit.
Anyways, Pain and suffereing and mental anguish is part of the law. If it weren't then the lawyers wouldn't be able to use it. It's that simple. Your gross over-generalization of lawyers

disturbs me. I think lawyer's do care, they do what they can for their clients (in most cases) if they can get extra money then they should. After all they are going against another lawyer who can just as easily make sure they don't get the money.
I agree that people are sue happy these days. However, until laws are changed or things become more difficult for the process to happen that's how it will be. If something happend to me and I took it to court.. yup I'd get whatever money I could get out of it. So .. I guess Fuck me too.
