I figure he'll make a good lawyer. If he can sell people on this idea he can convince a judge of anything:lmao:

Calling any race that is shorter then 26.2 miles a marathon is a big pet peev of mine.

If you do not want to pay for your education .........then do not go.

I am a grad school student SAHM with 4 children and will graduate with over $100,000 is student loans.

I too do not want to pay them, but the reality is I want the degree and the job that comes along with it. So I have to deal with the debt I have created too.

My suggestion is, being a lawyer and being a professional "means" dealing with the financial aspect too.

Maybe he needs to reconsider his profession and/or cost of his law degree.

Just my $.02

Not to start a debate, but he IS paying for his education.. he's just finding other ways to do it. Some people flip burgers, some people dig landfills for scrap metal, some people sell themselves on eBay.. if someone is dumb enough to pay him, why not?

I agree with the PP that it's more annoying that he's he's calling it marathon! His advertiser won't be getting 26.2mi of advertising.

Begging your pardon.....he is ASKING others to pay his way. His lead off is a call to help him pay for his education because it is too expensive. He spends a great deal of time whining about the high cost of HIS education. It will probably work for him as a lawyer.....if he actually gets to be one AND if he is an actual student of the law. NO reason to assume facts not in evidence and completely unsubsantiated!

That your brother enjoys time off (summers, holidays, winter and spring breaks, etc.) and has decided to go into a profession that supposedly is to help educate and otherwise develop people he "hates." So, I really don't know what it tells this lawyer about lawyers, but it does tell me a lot about your brother.

Time for me to get back to work. Hope your brother used plenty of sun screen today.

He says in his ad "thousands of people line up to read your shirt". Does this person really think that thousands of spectators are going to line up to cheer on a 5k? I'm sure there will be several hundred, but I think 'thousands' is stretching it a bit. Or, am I wrong?:confused3
