Why don't you do the math before you tell these kids to not borrow money-- or get a job!

No, it's not the same - it's EASIER...

YA KNOW WHAT?
KARMA WILL SET THIS ALL STRAIGHT.
THE DAY THE TABLES TURN YOU'LL WHIMPERING LIKE A LITTLE BITCH :)
UNFORTUNATE, BUT WHEN YOU ARE UNWILLING TO HELP SOLVE THE PROBLEM, AND INSTEAD BEAT YOUR FELLOW MAN INTO THE GROUND, THERE IS ONLY THING THAT CAN HAPPEN: YOU WILL GET YOURS!

I've already gotten mine, bitch. I clawed my own way out off the street.

I know what it takes to succeed. All you're doing is whining. You're not helping anyone or anything.

You're little more than a worthless little poverty pimp.

Does thinking like that get you through the day?
No wonder you are unemployed. Must be a blast to work with.

Reach over to the left of your keyboard and press the key that says "Caps Lock" (even it isn't in all caps).

And another thing....

It's fucking congress that needs to stop BORROWING money.

The OWSers are supporting the morans who are handing them tens of trillions of dollars in debt.

Now, can someone "splain" that one to me? Good luck.

Where do you "caps lock" morans get the idea that THAT brings credibility to your posts?

I've got a news flash for you - it does the opposite.

constantly being pulled out of normal classes and put in special ed classes. Constant testing to figure out what was wrong with me. diagnosed with some kind of learning disability. Spending 3 hours a night on a half hours worth of homework. abundant mental anguish and anxiety forced me to leave the public school system.

The education system is built to break people down and weed out the failures from the successes. Thats all its about

So yeah. It is pretty much luck

Some of the world's greatest business successes had average to below average IQs.

Henry Ford is a case in point. The press made big jokes about how stupid he was. His response, "I don't need to know everything myself when I can call someone to get the answers I need."

It's a fact, the A and B students go to work for the C students - they're the ones who create businesses.

Walkers, you're way off base on this one.

$40K a year is poverty level.

You can't be serious... Please, elaborate. I am dumbfounded by your statement. Easier? I'm going to go out on a limb and say you are just trolling. There is no way that someone could be so ignorant.

Total BS. Some of America's greatest FAILURES are idiots that did SO WELL in school that they never left. They got one useless degree after another and ended up spewing liberal bilge as a professor. Now THAT is a total FAIL.

Success anywhere in life is NOT luck.

And this is so hyped by the media

"Unemployment is now at 10%! EVERYBODY PANIC!"

wait... so that means 90% of people in this country are employed? Thats supposed to be bad?

I was going to write a post . . . but you just said it!

HOW RIGHT YOU ARE!

Really? What about the kids who made facebook? Google? When I was a kid, you had to have money to go to college and I didn't have it. Now, you can make millions with a simple idea. That kind of opportunity didn't exist for me.

Poverty with two cars, flat screen TV and internet.

I assume you are referring to the poverty level crowd who live on credit?

It really doesn't matter but I'm guessing most do

You are not entitled to an opportunity, see....there is the problem with your thinking.

the only things you are entitled to on this planet is life and then eventually death. That's it....get used to it. It's something the rest of us have already figured out.

Yeah it is. When an institution values certain characteristics over others its a matter of whether or not you have those characteristics. I dont have those characteristics

School was easy for the kids who did well in it. Everyone else either gives up or realizes that the system is bullshit and focuses on things they are good at instead

Wonder what the founders would said when the people begged them to just work with what they had. Can't protest or you will upset the british and then we will really see problems.


Thank god they were not chicken shits

Bullshit. The department of HUD comes out with the data set each year. Last I checked, for a family of four, the official poverty level was about $22K.

What's your point, TexasGirl?

The other poster is belittling people for whining because they only make $40K a year, I pointed out that it's basically poverty level by today's standards . . . and you say they have cars and flat screens . . . ok, they likely do, on credit - which does not change the fact that they make $40K a year.

The way I understand it, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates never finished college.

And you know it's easier how? Because you've gone through that process today as opposed to 30 years ago or however old you are?

Seems to me you're incapable of seeing the larger picture... We keep hearing about what you did and your own experiences, well please let us know how that applies to everyone out there? Because it most certainly doesn't... It's 2011, this is not the 70's, the 80's, or even the 90's anymore... You can't use experiences from those decades and try to make bold conclusions about what will work today for everyne.... We're are living in a different time.... Context is everything, and apparently you don't feel like acknowledging how times have changed....

Where have all the manufacturing jobs gone? Overseas... All the jobs you could qualify for with a simple high school diploma decades ago, are dwindling quickly... How many young adults can afford to go to college these days? How many come out of school with $50-$100K of debt and wind up living with their parents until their 30's? Look at the cost of basic necessities, and how the cost of living has been inflated.... Look at the amount of debt people live with these days.... I listened to an individual on a radio interview who said back in the 70's, most families could purchase a home and pay it off within 5-7 years... How long does it take your average family to pay off their mortgage these days? 20-30 years? And then when they finally do, they find out their home is worth less than they paid for it....

For you, poverty means flat screens and two cars? I lived with no car in my life and black and white TV when others had color. Maybe you need a reality adjustment?

No, context isn't everything.

ATTITUDE is everything. If you have a "glass mostly empty" attitude, you'll manage to fuck yourself even in good times.

bet the savages feel the same way

You really dont see the forces at work here eh? You dont realize that this whole thing is a puppet show and these protesters are pawns in someone elses game. You haven't seen how mainstream media has been hyping this thing up for the last year now?

Yes, you have an easier time than me, just like I had it easier than my parents.

Really? Do you have any idea how many times through history this has happened?

The trouble with it happening this time is that no-one has any useful skills.

Can you grow and store your own food?
Can you make soap and sew your own clothes?
Do you know how to build a barn or other structure?

The reason this generation has lost it, is because they think they know everything and can actually do NOTHING.

No skills,
except how play with computers....one good emp and millions of people will be lost....

Why make stuff up?? you never been on the street !! you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth... I bet you love tyranny, if it was up to you, you would call for martial law, torture protesters once arrested so they can't rejoin the protest.
