And again Ingo, your posts make zero sense if you don't actually tell us what it is that messed with your head...but besides that, I fail to see how Pixar could have envisioned such a negative reaction to their film, a) because it does not seem to be a universal reaction and b) seems to be related to something specific to a negative childhood experience of yours.

BTW, I thought it was a very clever stab at the litigation age we have entered to have citizens suing superheroes left, right, and centre! It's not too far from the truth, either - if I saved someone's life giving them CPR, and I broke one of their ribs in the process, they could probably sue me.


Yeah, I loved that concept. Really hilarous. Of course, in real life contexts, it does make you grumble about the overabundance of litigation. Seriously, what kind of idiot would sue you for giving him CPR?

Of course, the irony is that ordinary citizens (meaning people not employed in a life-saving capacity) have no obligation to take heroic measures to save another person's life. THAT's what makes The Incredibles scenario absurdly real.

What's wrong with family law? And why can't you switch to some other aspect of the legal system?


Family law is dealing with people who NEVER SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN TOGETHER IN THE FIRST PLACE, for the most part. I'm trapped because the firm I'm articling with does mostly family law. Once I've completed my articles, I can begin to tailor my practice, but right now I'm at the whim of the firm.

Surprise. We'd gone ring shopping and had to get her engagement ring sized (asking was a formality). The jeweler was done a couple days early, so I went over to her place, got down on one knee when she had her back turned and proposed to my future wife in the kitchen. We've been married nearly 13 years now, so it must've worked.
