It's from a movie.

In high school, I once had to give a speech in Health class about prostate cancer. I had prepared the speech for a while, but was nervous about talking in front of a group of people. So, I go up to the class, take a breath, and start my speech, "Prostitute cancer..."

Boy, was I red.

I just saw this. That is freaking HI-larious! LOL

I turn red anytime I get up in front of people to speak. (and I had wanted to be a lawyer-lol) Which is funny, because I love to talk to people and in front of people. My body just doesn't seem to agree with me. Acting though I can do, rather well in fact, and I have no problems getting on stage in front of people if I am in character. Is that weird?

Glad you didn't become a laywer. Lawyers are evil. Profesional politicians are also evil.

Lawyers = Devils (Law / Evil)

Politicians = Demons (Chaotic / Evil)

LOL that's funny because I started with my eyes on Constitutional Law, planning to eventually go into politics It was the whole, lawyers are slimy (sorry Danny- you're a gamer so you must be cool) and politicians corrupt. So, I decided against it. I am sure there are many who are gung ho about the whole "I'm gonna change the system" and end up getting party whipped just like the rest of them. Plus, I tend towards being a moderate and would have problems picking a party because I agree and disagree with things on both sides.
I couldn't do it because I tend towards Lawful or Neutral Good.

Politics are illegal here but my honest belief is there is no "bad" party but everything needs moderation. Currently, one party has been is complete control for so long the balance is lost and its falling apart. With the new changes the swing will go the other way.



The old saying- Don't hate the player, hate the game doesn't apply to politicians.

Which is he? Doesn't much matter. To discuss much further would close the thread and THAT we can't have

He's a lawyer, and you don't want to mess with lawyers.

Hey...I've been polishing my horns down on a weekly basis!

(For the record, one of my best friends is the son of the scariest and most powerful lawyers in Texas...he calls him Darth Vader.)

I understand the aversion to public speaking- it used to terrify me!

Up until law school, all of my public speaking opportunities had been disasters (and progressivly worse, too), and amazingly enough, the school I went to didn't do much mandatory education in that area.

(Side note: my school, UT, emphasizes theory and analysis...up the road at Baylor, they train some of the best trial lawyers around. Its a matter of the different strengths of the schools.)

In fact, I didn't learn about high-quality public speaking until I got my MBA at UD. Nearly every class- even Statistics and Financial Accounting, required some kind of presentation. And it wasn't just sink or swim...they actively instructed me on some of the finer points.

I'm not saying I'm a Tony Roberts or a Billy Graham, but I can at least hold my own.

(Please ignore the double entendre...)
