Isn't it Funny?

Isn't it funny how you will seldom ( even rarely ) see actual law students / law practitioners broadcast their opinions on law / political issues via twitter or status updates? While a lot of non-law people can be found flaunting their oh-so-serious thoughts in their tweets / facebook status updates. Sometimes notes. They type long sentences regarding those and tag everyone in their friend list so they can read it too.

I'm pretty annoyed. So I tweeted this :


It pretty much means, "Shut up, Bitches!" in English. You'll know my mood has taken for the worse if I rant in my native language.

I mean seriously, what are they trying to prove?

I take it as an entertainment most of the times, especially if their statements are off base and not supported by thorough research. Like related policies for example. A lot of the times they hear so-called experts or reporters, read an article or two written by journalists discussing such issues and conclude things in a snap. Or often, make these opinions their own. It's funnier when they use the wrong terms for certain definitions. Not to sound snotty but if you talk about something like you know everything about it, at least use the correct phrases? Those fancy schmancy terms can now be googled easily, no?

If law school teaches me anything at all, it's to keep your pie hole shut if you don't completely understand what you're talking about.*

True story.

Why do you think I blog / write / tweet about h-h-h-h-h-hooooot celebrities a lot?


Heheheheheh.






* Sadly a lot of fellow lawbots haven't really grasped this concept yet for they're still yapping and voicing their maybe-sometimes ridiculous views. But at least
a lot of them know better not to use twitter / facebook for this purpose. Blogs and forums are invented for a reason.

    Thoroughly agree with you on this, Andhari! I hate when people yap about opinions they can't actually back up with fact.

    I'm all for discussing my views on a public forum.. maybe that makes me one of those people you mentioned in your footer. :P

  1. why use twitter?? i mean, so that perez will read their tweets??

    such twats.

  1. My aunt always does that with Politics on Facebook! It drives me bananas. If she's so outraged, maybe she should DO something about it, because posting on facebook does nothing.

    Well, being that you are the only lawbot I follow (to my knowledge, there might be ninja sneaky lawbots hiding under the surface of some of the others. Like NPH.. I'm keeping an eye on him).. anyway, I hadn't really done a lot of research on this or noticed this trend.

    But there's a time and a place for politics. And that place is.. well there's no place for politics, politics is boring.

    Maybe a forum buried deep on the internet that nobody will ever find.

    If you're going to do politics on Facebook or Twitter, make it light hearted and amusing, something people will get a smile out of.

    Like when our opposition leader told every girl in the country they should stay a virgin until they got married, there were plenty of jokes to be made at his expense and twitter was the best place to make them.

    Yes, clueless people tend to talk the most crap.
    I revert to spanish when I get angry...it's more passionate and english can't hold that emotion.

    Ha, I agree with you about this. People who are bragging their Big Opinions and knowlegde are quite annoying. There's nothing wrong with being wise and educated, but - I personally don't like ppl who are acting so full of themselves because of this.

    Of course there's a difference between tweeting political statements and how, for instance, I knew few guys who just LOVED to show off their ability of writing and speaking Latin. It was horrible, every two sentences, they had to put in something in Latin. Just because they knew most ppl didn't understand). It's kind of funny - I was going to make a post about something quite similar :)

    freakin' frack! i hate those updates too. and no matter what my view on the matter is, even if i agree with them, they phrase it so stupidly and you can tell they have no idea what they;'re talking about and they haven't researched it. UGH!

  1. Caro said...:

    It sets me off people that talk shit and know shit.

  1. Nashe^ said...:

    Hah. I got the same feeling when Obama ran for president and won the election. Suddenly people who had no clue what was going n in the US started to blog abot how he was gonna bring change and shit. Whatever, guys.

  1. Thanks God I have this habit to keep myself from talking about things I don't understand, I don't want to embarrass myself hello. lol,

  1. Harini said...:

    The worst kind is people who say something and they cant even defend themselves. It shows that they just said it to sound cool and they actually have absolutely no clue about that.

  1. sssdawna said...:

    you're awesome. lol

  1. Random Chiq said...:

    haha i know exactly what you mean =P

  1. // krissy ♥ said...:

    Maybe they just want to come across as being smarter than they really are?

    Oooh my Puck :D

    I guess there's no wrong or right on the Internets. :) As long as someone doesn't attack others, I'm fine with whatever they tweet. People can share opinions freely, be it Twitter, FB or blog and if someone annoys you, you can always unfollow :) I guess unfollowing is part of the process, eh? :)

  1. Nikolett said...:

    Gah, the worst is when there's a public discussion between two people who both have the wrong facts but refuse to admit if if they're wrong. That's why I rarely talk about politics and the like because I tend not to know too, too much about it. But yes.

    Still waiting for exciting news? Hope it's happening <3

    Law school didn't teach me much at all. Perhaps what you said was the one thing it did teach, but I don't even think it taught me that. Sad.

  1. LT said...:

    Yeah, I've learned the hard way with opinion based tweeting/status postings- ALWAYS piss someone off. But since I live in Oklahoma, it's the kind of pissed off I have to laugh at- I mean come on, most can't articulate WHY they're even mad!

  1. Andrea said...:

    Keep your pie hole shut if you don't completely understand what you're talking about- that's my new life motto.

  1. Cheryl said...:

    I think it's a general life thing- to shut your trap if you don't know what you're talking about.
    Some people are so obnoxious.
    Kick 'em where it hurts.
    That's what needs to happen.

    since journalism media more restricted on editing or so, people might use social networking to use for sharing their thoughts. most of them may be less of information, but at least they try to speak up. this is global era, baby, everyone can say what's on their mind. even you can say the same.
    *i'm not that critical person sharing opinion into social networking though, but this is just my thoughts. just like you do.

  1. Sheri said...:

    Completely agree too. Plus hot guys way overrules law issues. :)

    I just love that you posted puck's picture on here. hey may not have long hair but he's totally hot!
