How do you feel about the Southern Poverty Law Centre?

I make a few comments, and already you have me pegged as Saddam?
People like you are my favourites. So steeped in politics that you fear
anyone who doesn't march in line with your chosen viewpoints...!

All I will say is that groups like these tend to be ran by people who
want money and power, and once they achieve these things, you
will see just how much they care about your precious 'freedom'.

And one more thing: 'freedom' is an illusion. Wake up to that fact.

Except, of course, that they would have more money and more power if they were not doing these things... :crazyeye:
 
A good deal of the lawyers for the SPLC and the ACLU are basically volunteers and really don't get much money out of it. (Well I know its the case for the ACLU anyway)

Do you have evidence of this, my ersatz commie friend, or are you trusting teenage instinct?

I'm trusting my Constitutional Law professor, but you know how these liberal professors are. Also I prefer to be called a champagne or chardonnay socialist.

BMW driving lawyer - Suits nicely too...

So why pretend to be a commie? It's either genius trolling (I approve) or you are trying to rebel (waste of time)...

Well its a bit of the first one, but what I am is a democratic-socialist

Democratic Socialists believe that both the economy and society should be run democratically—to meet public needs, not to make profits for a few. To achieve a more just society, many structures of our government and economy must be radically transformed through greater economic and social democracy so that ordinary Americans can participate in the many decisions that affect our lives.

We are socialists because we reject an international economic order sustained by private profit, alienated labor, race and gender discrimination, environmental destruction, and brutality and violence in defense of the status quo.

We are socialists because we share a vision of a humane international social order based both on democratic planning and market mechanisms to achieve equitable distribution of resources, meaningful work, a healthy environment, sustainable growth, gender and racial equality, and non-oppressive relationships.

Oh! So now they are not gleaming with golden light as saviours of the poor?
They might possibly be lawyers on the make?
Surely not!

I'm not too knowledgeable of them, beyond seeing their occasional job opening notice or reading a case or two or three, but one thing I am positive of is they are not lawyers on the make. Especially if they're working in a southern state like Alabama or something.

In the industry these guys are called public interest lawyers. Typically in that market and geographic area, starting out you don't make much more than a public school teacher (30K or so) and even after a few years, (if you last that long) you're not making much more. In some cases as Karalysia pointed out the guys handling the big cases are actually experienced trial lawyers from elsewhere working pro bono.

No one is in that organization for the money. (Some might be in it for the experience that they can turn into money elsewhere). That's one thing I am positive about.

OK - Don't mind I take what you say with a pinch of salt, then?

"Not too knowledgeable" as in I don't know much but I know more than you. :)

I worked in the same field (public interest law) and have heard of them and read about the organization a few times.
 
They're from the south. Obviously a bunch of closet racists, right? Cuz that's what people say about the south all the time, so why should they be different?

Self-hating closet racists. It makes sense considering how many other Republicans end up being self-hating homophobes.

You know more about them than me - Oh great. Award yourself the prize of a cookie.

I forgot to mention how little I care about the entire issue, really...

OK! I am now going to assume you are 19, and treat you with scorn from now on! :D

As for money and power, so what? I think money's only purpose is to remove worry.
With cash, many problems are solved quickly. Only people who do not seek wealth
are those who have given up seeking, or lack the talent to make dough...

If I become a millionaire, don't worry - I'll remember all of you...:ar15:

now its clear , when you criticize SPLC for being power and money hungry, you have no understanding of what that is... a million quid and it looks like a BMW ;)
I'll convert that to plastic money, bout $1.2 million Australian, most houses are worth that around my suburb, and its going from poor working class to popular beach-side inner suburb so over the last 10 years its not uncommon to have a pint with some retired railways worker who has a state pension and he tells you he sold his house (700k-1.7 mil) and is going round Australia for a couple of years, some say that's not a true millionaire, but if a couple 40-50 something, teachers say, bought his house for cash, and their income is $160 k a year, they would certainly qualify. Are you sure your not 19 :D
POWER AND WEALTH start at billionaire, otherwise your just talking about the comfortable middle class, even lawyers that work for small activist groups. Heck over here if your 35 today you WILL need bout $1.6 mill in your supper account plus own your own place if you want to retire at 65 and maintain your standard of living

You'll be getting hired as my finance advisor for starters.

Perhaps Karalysia as my lawyer, if he drops the commie act.
