On the Eve of Legal Theory:

Darryl, after tomorrow's paper, please throw all that you've memorized away. I pity your girlfriend, charmaine. :) Just cook.. no legal theory ok.

9:00:22 PM wen_6c98@hotmail.com: like.. the last line of your essay: "prof! help! i'm finnis-ed"
9:01:05 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: you see girl
9:01:09 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: i'm not from raffles
9:01:16 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: i'm not that smart
9:01:34 PM wen_6c98@hotmail.com: lol
9:01:37 PM wen_6c98@hotmail.com: no lar
9:01:38 PM wen_6c98@hotmail.com: nonsense
9:01:41 PM wen_6c98@hotmail.com: nothing to do with sch
9:02:08 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: it has SOMETHING to do with school
9:02:24 PM wen_6c98@hotmail.com: which is??
9:02:48 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: erm..you see, by being in a good school..you presuppose
9:02:51 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: 1you are smart
9:03:11 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: 2. recognising that the school admits smart people
9:03:36 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: macham rule of recognition and internal p.o.v.
9:03:54 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: by saying that something is a obligation
9:03:58 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: obligating
9:04:13 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: you recognise that that the ROR is valid
9:04:20 PM wen_6c98@hotmail.com: haha
9:04:27 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: and that the rule satisfies the ror
9:04:27 PM wen_6c98@hotmail.com: u make it sound like raffles is the ultimate ror
9:04:31 PM wen_6c98@hotmail.com: tsk
9:04:50 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: haha
9:05:07 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: but the ror doesnt mean that the school is good (efficacy)
9:05:21 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: but it merely says that the school is a school (valid)
9:05:23 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: hahaha
9:05:34 PM wen_6c98@hotmail.com: haha
9:05:35 PM wen_6c98@hotmail.com: ok
9:05:39 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: it is a social facta
9:05:41 PM wen_6c98@hotmail.com: our conversation is getting damned warped
9:05:43 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: and a convention
9:05:46 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: hahahaha
9:05:53 PM wen_6c98@hotmail.com: hahha
9:06:01 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: i think you have to think in a warped sense to do legal theory
9:06:05 PM wen_6c98@hotmail.com: u might as well say its in accordance with natural law..
9:06:12 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: why?
9:06:15 PM wen_6c98@hotmail.com: like the name raffles presuppose stuff
9:06:17 PM wen_6c98@hotmail.com: like first principles
9:06:27 PM wen_6c98@hotmail.com: of smartness etc
9:06:32 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: but it's not a basic good?

9:07:28 PM wen_6c98@hotmail.com: why so
9:07:30 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: no arbiitrary preference to any value!
9:07:46 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: you must pursue all basic goods
9:07:56 PM wen_6c98@hotmail.com: but doesnt it depend on individuals...
9:08:01 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: and that includes play

9:08:16 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: right...
9:08:25 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: are you arguing policy?
9:08:28 PM wen_6c98@hotmail.com: ok.. maybe not as much as ac ppl
9:08:33 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: because it sure isn't a principle
9:08:37 PM wen_6c98@hotmail.com: what..
9:08:38 PM wen_6c98@hotmail.com: play?
9:08:49 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: because principles are based on justice and fairness
9:08:56 PM wen_6c98@hotmail.com: and?
9:09:05 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: the statement that 'raffles ppl play also'
9:09:19 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: so you are saying that because it's policy
9:09:27 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: policy when you pursue a social goal
9:09:32 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: which is to "play
9:10:02 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: that's why the theorist's name is dWORKIN
9:10:04 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: hahah
9:10:07 PM darilian@singnet.com.sg: how ironic
