Denny, based on all of those characteristics, I think you'd make a great lawyer. I mean, even before you left high school I thought that you'd end up becoming a lawyer. You're good with words; you can succinctly summarize your opinions--although you can explain them in great detail when necessary; you like people, and (I'm pretty sure, anyway) that you wouldn't have any problems with being able to speak in a collected manner in front of a large audience and explain why you're positively, most definitely right. I mean, you've been arguing points back from your teachers since you were younger. ^_^ (I'm guilty of this, too...it can be rather funny sometimes, when I catch myself caring about a point or two. Bah...but anyway

Your first comment reminds me of being called a point pig from Mrs. Shaw. That hurt, but I guess the truth does. I agree with you on the second point, and I think it's employing the stereotype that all lawyers are ruthless and out to get what they want, and that's it. Yes, zaijian literally means "again sight," but it is roughly translated to goodbye in English.
*facepalms* Oy...I didn't mean it like that. Those things were supposed to be compliments, you see.

First off, I really don't think there's anything wrong with wanting to argue back points from teachers. It means you can defend your choices and actions, you actually care about the class, and it proves to the teacher that you really have been paying attention all this long--even if you might've made a mistake on a test. I was arguing with Mr. Diederichsen for some points back on a Physiology test a few weeks back, and he said that we should always try to argue about why we think we're right. There's nothing wrong with it, really.
