Every system has problems :P
As for lawyers falsifying sheets etc I know nothing of it so can't really comment.
Electricians charge by time I believe.
All employmers of businesses are paid per hour.

I'm not sure what you mean, haha.

And yes, every system has its problems, I just happen to work in this one and I know just how broken it is. And it's so broken.

I was saying according to what you believe Lebron going 0-8 and Wade 12-18 is better then having Lebron 1-17 and Wade 5-9

Well Wade scores 24 points at least and Lebron scores 0. Or Lebron scores 2 and Wade scores 10.
Obviously the first is better if you are the offensive, and the second is better if you are the defensive.
Are you disagreeing with that?

I have no response to an entire team keeping every player to 0-8 vs an entire team keeping every player to 1-17 because I'm gonna stick to the topic of what this argument is about, the MVP voting and a if a single player kept someone to 1-17 or 0-8...

Well if it is better for a player to keep the opponent to 1-17 rather than 0-8, then you should want every player on your team to do that. So it is relevant, because if every player on the team did this then 0-8 is better than 1-17. Does that make sense?

Well 0-8 could be extrapolated to 0-16, which is better than 1-17 ;)

Ahhh, ok. Well, only casual/permanent-part timers. If you're on a salary, then you're not paid by the hour, so managers etc of those places aren't. Plus, they're there for a set time - for example, a shift is 8 hours. Then they go home. Lawyers set their own hours, then send a bill, and the client gets a frightful shock.

Ha, this all built from me jokingly saying that you should escape. Basically, I think our system needs massive reform, but we need good people to get into the system to do that. It's only going to change if we change it from the inside. So, I implore you, when you get in, be totally clear and honest. Don't sacrifice your principles to please your file principals. There are too few lawyers who try to do the right thing, and we need to change that :)

It could be, yes. But in a game of BASKETBALL the fact that a player has missed his first 8 shots is irrelevant to whether he will make or miss his 9th shot (and every shot thereafter); therefore the extrapolation is irrelevant.

This is basketball, not maths. Whether a player is more beneficial to his team by keeping an opponent to 1-17 or 0-8 must be answered in a basketball context, not a mathematical context.

Let's look at this in a different way.
Doctor's charge per task, and they charge a sum far higher than would be received if they charged per hour.
How is charging per task any better really?

Also, there are plenty of pro bono lawyers that one can go too instead of paying a lawyer per hour. Also there are law firms with the "No win, no fee" motto.

Well I want to be a clear and honest lawyer, so will try to avoid going down the path that so many succumb too.

If a player has missed 0-8, and I asked you to place a bet on whether the player will make or miss his next shot, what would you bet on?

Has anybody dealt with specialists before? Doctors who specialise in specific cancers and such.

The majority are #$@%ing awful people.

We went to see one and he agreed to do surgery on the cancer, under the clear understanding that we wanted to go in as public patients (we have private cover, but the wait time wasn't very different and it's far far far cheaper).

He gave us the wrong form and when the operation was completed, the hospital informed him of the mistake.

Considering the cancer wasn't cured yet, he refused to see us for a consultation until we settled the $5,000 we owed for the operation.

Asshole.

So we didn't settle with him and saw the only other specialist in sydney for that particular kind of cancer.
