Re: Why do faggots have an accent?
You don't do work in an office? hahahahhahaha Most lawyers spend the greater part of their time researching and writing court briefs. Even if you're a trial lawyer.
All that respone did was make me more skeptical as to your alleged lawyer status. If you're such a bigwig, there should be no problem with providing people with your most cursory business details such as name and contact information. People who actually practice law would have no problem sharing that anyways.

That would be better than the many lawyers I know who just pretend to be lawyers in court.

Re: Why do faggots have an accent?
i think you're easily confused and are of little value as a poster aside from occaissionally making yourself look stupid and hence a figure of fun.
isn't it nice how we share these things

Re: Why do faggots have an accent?
Eerm... whitetrash... just out of curiousity...
How does someone's occupation even enter into what gets posted on forums? I try and post semi-legitimate comments... But then again I've posted complete rubbish {lo rat, jerome} at times too. What occupation am I?
As for gay accents and the like... Well, I know a couple of guys who can change their accents very well and they're damn funny too. But their natural voices... I can't say I notice any real difference.
I base this on the fact that two of the guys I know are twins and sound *very* similar to one another. One's flaming gay, and the other one is about as straight as they come...
Hrm. *random two cents {cdn. 0.85p. 1.5amd, etc}*

Re: Why do faggots have an accent?
A PA playing nobody.
I'm suprised a full time lawyer would have such time to waste on the internet and would refuse to easily prove me wrong. But since you've seen him in court and realized he's the real deal after a 2 minute conversation, I'll stop with the offtopic posts.

I've seen his profession mentioned a few times in previous threads. How does anything enter into what gets posted? Someone brings it up.

Re: Why do faggots have an accent?
I thought he was a law student.
And what's the deal Witetrash. I know a regular on the RP forums who is (well a couple of days from that officially) an astro-phycisist, and I know him in real life. Actually he'll be ringing my door in some minutes for a game of chess.

Re: Why do faggots have an accent?
Umm the lawyer point is moot, really. At the end of the day, Yahwe still takes it up the ass and the general public hates his profession.
More on topic: You insult a wide variety groups and individuals, and then clearly get angry when the homos get some mud thrown in their direction. You get to the point of physical threats. Alot of gays do have a weird accent and it would be interesting to know where/when/why it came into existence.

Re: Why do faggots have an accent?
i don't really see how you're so personally offended yahwe. it was a general pondering open for discussion, it was nothing personal towards you, nor biggoted in any way.
maybe the 'accent' is more clearly defined in north america (i actually can't imagine what a british 'camp (as you call it)' accent would sound like, but over here there is a very distinct accent that most (not all) gay guys seem to have. i've never heard a lesbian with this accent and i don't know why.. i've never heard a straight person with this accent and i don't know why.
it exists whether you are willing to admit it or not. i don't see admitting this and pondering it as being offensive at all.

Hey.
I don't think homosexuals are less developed than the rest of the people around, they are just a smaller group, wich makes them easier to define.
Most guys sleep with (or want to) women. It is not easy to find any noticeable trait in such a huge group.
It might be easier in a smaller group such as gay men. If it exists that is.

You might know a number of homosexuals who don't speak in the way that you describe, you just don't know they are gay.

What is "camp"?

Re: Why do faggots have an accent?
Mr. Humphreys, Are You Being Served
it's the feminine, soft-spoken, limp-wristed kind of stereotype. I'm not really sure what examples I could really give that you would understand.
As someone said earlier, its the people who go 'oh darling, you look FABULOUS!!!' while prancing about.
Most fashion designers.
that is a brief description of what you might consider campness to be.

The proposition is absurd, I'm sure every single person has been mistaken at least once in the past whilst attempting to 'prove' such an untenable assumption. Let us be clear, it is a form of baseless discrimination that should not be justified simply because it "works most of the time". If you do not think it is justified, then please try to avoid doing it.
We dont need to stereotype people in this way.

In England, we have a division in 'lawyers' - solicitors (who do all the tough paperwork) and barristers (your 'trial lawyers'). Solicitors work in offices, but barristers work in chambers.

For example, a solicitor may hold funds on behalf of their client (for example in conveyancing) whereas a barrister is forbidden from doing so. Solicitors are also officers of the court, barristers are not.
A further difference is that a barrister may either be "employed" or in "independent practice". An employed barrister may represent only their employer -- and thus may not give general legal services to the public. Most representation is given by barristers in independent practice, who may not be members of partnerships (as solicitors usually are), but must act as sole traders with unlimited liability.
In order to function in the legal services market, most barristers in independent practice form themselves into groups, called "chambers" or "sets". Many common costs are shared between members of the set, including the finding of work.
Barristers in independent practice could not, in the past, accept work directly from members of the public, but could only be instructed through the intermediary of a solicitor. This is still the normal way in which such barristers are instructed, but many now offer various kinds of direct access.

I hope this helps.

Same accent in the UK. Not always but if a guy has a 'camp' accent its usually a fair indicator he likes the botty.
However i know one guy who is about as camp as they come. He practically glides into rooms.
Hes also slept with every girl bar one or two in the all girls school we had close to us at grammar school. (presumably he has continued this trend as we are now 21)...

Re: Why do faggots have an accent?
Seriously though.
Standard barrister's wig.
Proper judge's wig. (seen more in Court of Appeal)
Standard judge's wig. (seen more in Crown Courts)
I am probably wrong. Awaiting for Yahwe to correct me.

I doubt this, unless you specifically said things that could be proven false (e.g. contradicting something that was part of the public record) or were frequently careless in what you said.
If you were asked a technical question it's not like you're obliged to answer immediately if at all.Of course, these sorts of things become much harder if you're trying to deceive people in person, but if you lived in a far-off country that's not coming to come up often.
Now, I have no idea why anyone would want to pretend to be a lawyer, but that's another matter.

Re: Why do faggots have an accent?
Females talk in a certain "female" way. Coming from a homosexual, it becomes an "accent" when in reality, it's really just the female way of saying things but just in a deeper, male kind of tone.

Re: Why do faggots have an accent?
I often wonder this.
When I was a teen my best friend was gay. I slowely noticed him becoming more camp. Now, I can understand why people become more camp as it seems to be a gay cultural thing. I've never really understood why there is gay accent. Maybe the personality change due to the cultural thing also affects the vocal cords. I suppose I'd have to know more about how the brain can affect vocal cords to know more.
Anyway, who cares? Does it put you off men you'd like to be playing doctors and nurses with? I had to fit in an insult somewhere, and there it was. Good-day. Love you. Bye.
