My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

You just have to accept to learn a whole lot of things that doesn't make sense and that you will never use.
See, it's not about educating you.
It's about showing that you are one of those guys that are willing to lose some of your best years for a job, that makes you lose the rest of your best years for an eventual future where you possibly can have more money than the average guy laughing himself through life.

I thought about becoming an attorney, but then I realized that it was a lot of hard work and everyone I know who is an attorney has a life that is out of whack and they are on the verge of a nervous breakdown. And also, they hate their jobs. Also, I don't believe in personal debt.

It can be kind of fun, particularly once you're entrenched in the system and can safely suckle off the teat of civilization for the rest of your life. A life which will likely be extended far beyond your peers as you use your excessive income to buy replacement organs from those who have to sell their own to pay their mortgage.

I get the impression that law school think SFTS suck.
All forms of educations suck. In the sense that for the most part it's not fun or interesting.
Young kids are forced to undergo education because it's for their own good and because they're too stupid to agree to be educated for their own good. They're generally grateful for it later, unless they've grown up to become stupid adults.
An adult undergoing education and hating it should wonder wether some other field would be better or more interesting. If yes, then switching or even dropping out is a legitimate choice. If not, he should suck it up.
This isn't meant to be patronising; I often wondered during my years at university wether it was worth it. Law school sucks everywhere.

I like what I am studying. Fluid dynamics has been fun so far. I hate arguing, if a nice conversation starts becoming an argument I just stop talking or change the subject. Law school would drive me into constant anger followed by constant depression.
This is part of the problem: people view law school, and indeed the whole legal industry, as 'arguing' for a living. Many people (myself included) find this to be an appealing career, and thus go into law expecting it. The problem is that law school doesn't really involve much arguing, nor does most legal practice. Law school is, mainly, learning what the current law is and then parroting your professor's views back to him/her. There's not much involved in those three years where you get to make actual arguments to convince someone of anything. Certainly law school exams (basically your entire grade) and the Bar examination do not involve arguments. In addition, with the exception of trial lawyers, there's not a lot of arguing in actual legal practice either. It's largely research, document drafting, and negotiation. Certainly trial lawyers argue for a living, but most lawyers don't argue before a court ever, and even for most of those that do it's a rare situation. Thus, many people get into law thinking that the entire career is trial lawyers getting up and arguing before a judge and/or jury, just like on television. However, 90% of legal practice doesn't involve that. As such, many people get disillusioned with law because it's not what they expected it to be when they signed up for it.
If you don't like reading ass-tons of documents and writing ass-tons of legalese, you should avoid law like the plague. The reality is that that's what you're going to be doing with the vast majority of your time.
It should be noted that quite a few people go to law school with no intention of practicing law.

How does one go home with the wrong girl?
Something I never understood... was it that you were horny for a leg-over, then picked some one easy to get it out of the way, then you realised later it was totally foolish? Were you that drunk you were virtually blind?
