Opinion of Sam Spade

[The Mikado]

Not that he cares what you think about him.

[Torie]

I like posters with character flaws (not meant to imply that I don't have even more, which of course I do), who interest me.

Lawyers learn quickly to just get stronger from all the disapprobation, so yes, of course he doesn't give a darn what others think of him, as long as he thinks well of himself, and the fees just come rolling in. I can relate to that.

Of course, wasn't implying otherwise.  Am quite fond of Mr. Spade myself: he really understands sh**t better than most people on the forum, and it's obvious.

Be patient.

(Let's get that gag out of the way now.)

I think it's rather obvious how this poll will turn out, but I'm not surprised that nobody else can see it.

[Beet]

He's smart, he could be more voluminous than he is on economics. He might be on other sites.

 Hey, maybe you really are "brilliant," despite the fact that you chose to decamp to a dump like Vegas. Who knew?

If you were married to me, and chose to move to Vegas, our marriage would be over.

[Meeker]

Not as smart as people think he is but still an intelligent guy.

[Ban my account ffs!]

Not as smart as people think he is but still an intelligent guy.

More like "not as smart as he makes himself out to be"...

Of course I'd love to believe he's dumb as a brick simply because of his politics.. but that's not the case.  The guy is pretty intelligent and he's an arrogant prick... but somehow that isn't necessarily all that bad when it comes to Sam Spade.

Anyone who thinks this s******t doesn't care what people think about him doesn't understand people very well, nor internet forums. 

Funnily enough, I don't know much about him.  He's a lawyer?  I thought he was a law student.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Villain.

[Holmes]

We'll find out rather soon enough. That is, if it happens.

[Small Business Owner of Any Repute]

Hmm...

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

A very strange duck.  Maybe after another 20 years I'll figure him out.....but I'm not going to try real hard.

I have some thoughts on this, I'll see if I can respond later. Hm.

I don't really have the time to post on other sites.  In fact, I probably don't have the time to post on this one (or at least I shouldn't be using as much time here as I do).

"Was" a law student.  Graduated last May and passed the bar last August (found out in November, of course).  FYI.

EDIT:  One other thing, opebo.  I do care what people think about me IRL.  I certainly don't on a "somewhat" anonymous internet forum.  Why do you think that is?

[Tetro Kornbluth]

One of the most learned and perspective people here and in a very 'worldly' way as well. Unlike some other posters.

Doesn't mean he isn't an asshole however.

[Bo]

A very intelligent FF.

Oooh, someone struck a nerve.

Not really, bro. 

Just asking a question of why I might care about what others think about me IRL and not on an anonymous internet forum, which to me says some important things about internet forums in general.

But if opebo doesn't care, he should just ignore.

Um.. I'm not sure what you're asking here, SS.  I mean obviously most people would care more about the opinion of those they interact with 'irl' than those on a forum.

[Sam Spade]

I wish he offered more of his opinions on the arts and philosophy.  He's said he's quite learned on these matters but I've never seen him actually post on them.

Not disagreeing actually. 

My real area of expertise is music, though, not really visual art (though I'm not completely ignorant) and philosophy, certainly not as much.
