The attorney next door holds views I detest

He denigrates gays and Muslims while I grit my teeth

He might not be too crazy about your's either.

Grow up. People aren't obliged to agree with each other, but the best way to change people's mind is rarely achieved by being petulent or peevish or bummed-out. It's by being mature, expansive and wise...and who knows, maybe you'll change your mind some day and find that much to your surprise,your understanding of issues that get you all hot under the collar now seem different as you mature. As a matter of fact, if your opinions don't change as you mature, you may want to question yourself as to whether you are infact aware of the world around you. A close reading of history will reveal that such is often the case.

You must really enjoy this

Is the fact that he is a lawyer intimidating to you?

The attorney next door holds views I detest

Just let him know what you think!

I have never held back, in letting someone I disagree with know it, and in no uncertain terms! If you detest his type of thinking, why hold it back, after all you have to listen to his. If the guy is a bigot, then let him know that he is. By keeping it to yourself, you only give credence to his way of thinking. You are doing yourself and everyone a disservice, by biting your lip. Let him have it!

I´m thru posting...

I´ve read "most" or this interesting thread and consequent posts so what´s new ?

It´s 05:40 in my morning in this GMT zone and the sun is nowhere yet on the Easter horizon..

Even the dog isn´t up yet to do his morning woofwoof to the earliest pigeons on the overhead electrical wires.... Do you know that when it´s cold that´s the warmest place to sit on in fresh air ??

But the doors are wide open on this elevated "ground level" dwellings with a spiral stair going up and audibly guarded by a 53 kilo Presa Canaria.. one of the deadliest dogs on this planet to protect me at 90 minus a strike or 3.... so ??

My last lung blast:- I don´t care one bit about legal law suits from anybody feeling offended by my saucy outcries - I don´t.... This is not the US of A... this is Spain where all the US nonsense makes no sense.. So.... vodzzznoo ??

Oh yeah.... One more thing....:- Why do Muslims hate Americanos (Fort Hood) that much and not me ??

Don´t think further....

The answer is:-

Most Americanos they hate are feniggling Khazars and stupid war mongering East Blockers from Czecho who are stirring up American "Conservatism" with Glenn Beck for no reason whateffah....

From the GripeVine.... & Rufus..// ..... I won´t be back.. Ciau..

All of this is, without any doubt, a joke

There is no lawyer worth his salt who doesn't know, and who didn't find out quickly, exactly what he can and can't say to other attorneys in his office. It takes all of 20 minutes to two weeks, maximum, to figure out exactly where the locus of power lies.

If I wanted to stay in this job, I would completely ignore this oaf. I would not engage with him at all, and I do mean at all. I would not pointedly slam my door. I would not reason with him. I would not make pronouncements. I would not elicit opinions. I would simply observe, both him and how others behave around him, and I would only talk to him when it involved a task I could not complete in the best interests of the client without talking to him. And then I would keep the interaction to a minimum.

In short, I would not want to stay in this job. I would only stay until the moment I found somewhere else to work. And in the meantime, I would think about what I truly wanted to do with the rest of my life. Yeah, I really would. I'd ask those existential questions you are not supposed to ask after adolescence. And I would come up with some answers, because life really is short, you know? To be next to someone like this idiot for a little while can be very beneficial. It may be just the push you need to confront what you yourself have been doing with these ever-dwindling days, and to decide to do something better.
