Don't go to law-school unless...

1. Don't go to law-school unless you like studying. If you hated studying, even if you were good at it, don't go to law-school, because it will make undergrad look like a walk in the park. Seriously, even if you're not the smartest person, if you like to study, you will do well in law-school.


2. Don't go to law-school unless you have a full scholarship or a job guaranteed after passing the bar-exam. The job-market is really terrible for everything, including lawyers. Therefore, you should have a full ride or a job guaranteed after law-school. Maybe a parent is a partner at a firm and will hire you. If so, go for it.

3. Don't go to law-school unless you wanted to be a lawyer your whole life. If being a lawyer was and is your dream, go for it. Don't go to law-school as a last resort, or because you can't think of anything better to do. If being a lawyer is your dream, go for it. You will probably realize your dream because I always say that passion trumps natural-born talent every single time.

4. Don't go to law-school unless you believe in the law. "Believe in the law?" you may ask incredulously. "Of course I believe in the law," you may respond. After a year in law-school, I lost almost all faith in the Americal legal system. It was designed to help the richest people and corporations above all else with nonsensically high fees to file motions. It is understandable in a society of millions to dissuade frivolous and minor claims, but it doesn't take away from the fact that the legal system is designed to make money above all other purposes, including the administration of justice.

Law is only necessary in a society of stupid or evil people. "We live in such a society," you may respond. That may be true, but I believe that the law's existence precludes us from advancing beyond stupidity and evilness. By shackling the human spirit with codified law, we do not have the freedom to choose to be good, and instead are forced to be good, which breeds contempt of goodness.

The law was created by fearful people. They feared chaos and anarchy; and they believed that most people were bad, but I do not believe that human beings are naturally like this. By letting law exist, we are perpetuating this belief that people are inherently bad, and thus the vicious cycle never ends.

The law doesn't prevent crime, it only punishes a small percentage of those who commit them, and even punishes innocents. What is the biggest preventer of crime? It is not the law, nor the police, but it is the goodness and love that exists in every person's heart.

We must abolish law and believe in ourselves and every man, woman, and child.

White Japanese Sega Saturn 3D Control Pad (Controller) Review HSS-0137

Image
As a recently new Sega Saturn owner, I knew I had to get the Sega Saturn 3D Control Pad because it was the definitive controller for playing Nights Into Dreams. I decided to purchase the more aesthetically-pleasing Japanese version. Upon first inspection, it is noticeably big - bigger than it should be. Sega was probably going for form over function here, because the round shape does look like a mini-spaceship or UFO, which goes with their theme of space with the Saturn itself, but it is not the most ergonomically comfortable controller out there. For example, when playing six-button fighting-games, it is difficult to hold the controller in the left hand and 'piano' the buttons with the right. The d-pad is a little different from the American Model 1 and Japanese Model 2 controllers'. It feels a little stiffer. Of the three controllers I have tried, it has my least favorite d-pad. On the plus-side, however, it features the best start-button of the three.

"Retrotek SCART to Component Converter" Review (SCBV1P3)

Image
I do not like spreading negativity out there, but I needed to warn people about this device. I bought this for 80 dollars on ebay; I'm not gonna link from whom, because he or she does not deserve more sales of this awful device. When it works, it works, albeit with flaws. The image produced is sharp, as a component-video signal should be, and the colors are accurate, except that there is a green tint to the entire picture. I've read that one has to open these things up and adjust the 'pots' inside (an electrical term) with a screwdriver. I never really tried doing that or minded the green tint too much, because it's very subtle. What I did mind a lot, was the fact that sometimes, it won't work, and I'll only get audio. This is a big problem. I wouldn't mind the colors being a little off, or there being some 'noise' in the video-signal, but when the success-rate of the thing actually working is 50%, it's a deal-breaker. I paid 80 dolla

Japanese Model 2 Sega Saturn Controller Review HSS-0101

Image
Recently, I bought a Model 2 American Sega Saturn, but it came with a Model 1 controller. It was pretty good, but I liked the look of the Model 2 Japanese controller, and the d-pad seemed more comfortable. After ordering one on ebay, and opening the package I later received, I was taken aback at how 'creamy' the controller looked. It didn't look like it had changed color, like old NESes, but it didn't look as white as I had imagined. Even the photo above looks whiter than it actually is. The d-pad is better than the Model 1's, but not by too much. The face-buttons feel the same, but the Start-button is a big improvement. The biggest improvement comes in the form of the shoulder-buttons. I don't think the actual internal switches have changed, but now you don't have to press the buttons on the rear of its plastic-shell to get them to actuate. In general, they feel and sound like mouse-buttons. You won't want to use them in action-games, but f
