Thank God our ancestors left that place and came here to found this great nation! We must NOT become like Europe, where a disgruntled troublemaker can sue in such a frivolous manner. We are already too far down the same path. We must reverse course as soon as we can.

I see the world of Islam can add some shysterism to stonings, homocide bombings and all the rest.

I love it. In euro football, Arsenal is my team but I’ve seen the IM’s unis before and didn’t offend me 1 bit. Leave it to the muslims to be offended when they see ANY cross.

Islam itself offends the sensibilities of billions of people worldwide who do not believe in it.

“We must NOT become like Europe, where a disgruntled troublemaker can sue in such a frivolous manner.”
- In 2003, the number of lawyers in the US surpassed 1 million.
The lawyers of the 27 EU countries and 10 other European nations are represented by an organization called The Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe (CCBE). Russia does not participate in this cooperation, but still the total population of the countries this organization draws its members from is well over 600 million, more than twice the population of the US.
According to CCBE, there are around 700 000 lawyers, all in all, in these 37 European countries.
If Europe truly is a place where anyone can sue anyone else in a ‘frivolous manner’, how come the US needs more lawyers than we Europeans do?
Are our lawyers more productive?

A Turkish lawyer is taking legal action against Inter Milan, the Italian football team, for wearing a strip with Crusader-style red crosses that he alleges is offensive to Muslim sensibilities.It's a pity his feelings are hurt. I think the Crusader-style red cross are just awesome.
They could send a mild message by wearing the red crosses and each of them stepping on a copy of the injunction. : )

The stats are misleading. Although many retain their licenses, the majority of U.S. lawyers quit practicing within five years of graduating from law school. For example, the majority of all law students today are women. Mommy track will hit within a few years of graduating from law school...most will never return to practicing law full-time. For males, many will take jobs in a corporate environment or start up their own businesses. They'll keep their licenses but really aren't engaged in the practice of law.

Well then I'M offended by
this club's crest...
Saved by a Soccer emblem based on the Third CrusadeA Briton escaped being killed by Muslim fanatics because they thought his Portsmouth Football Club sticker was an Islamic emblem. Terrified Tony Restall, 56, was ambushed by Arab fundamentalists in strife-torn Yemen. The bandits, armed with AK-47 rifles, dragged him and his armed guard out of their car and threatened to either execute or take them hostage. Then they spotted Pompey fan Tonys club sticker in a window and thought the moon and star symbols meant he was a practising Muslim.... But they spotted my Portsmouth FC sticker and the mood changed. They thought I was Muslim as the star and moon are Muslim symbols. I was able to convince them that, although I was Western, I was helping Muslims in the area..... Portsmouth FC based their badge on the citys 900-year-old coat of arms. The crest used the symbol of King Richards chancellor William de Longchamp, who adopted a crescent moon and star in honour of the Third Crusade.snicker.../sarcasm

“For example, the majority of all law students today are women. Mommy track will hit within a few years of graduating from law school”
- In my country, Sweden, the situation is pretty much the same. Generally speaking, most of the students at Swedish universities are female, while most of the graduates are male. 90% of all Swedish professors are men.
I don’t know exactly what the situation’s like in Europe in general, although I suspect the situation is very similar to the one here in Sweden.
“For males, many will take jobs in a corporate environment or start up their own businesses. They’ll keep their licenses but really aren’t engaged in the practice of law.”
- Perhaps this phenomena is more common in the US than over here in Europe, but a lot of our lawyers end up as politicians, business owners and such things too.
However, my personal impression is that Europe suffers from a larger overabundance of sheer bureaucrats than the US does, while the US has a larger percentage of its workforce tied up in unnecessary lawsuits compared to Europe.
While a certain amount of lawyers and bureaucrats are needed in all advanced societies, what both the US and Europe really need more of is competent inventors, entrepreneurs, engineers and scientists.
