Fuck Teachers ;[

Someone didn't get into Stanford.

Someone is missing the point. This has nothing to do with me with respect to my accomplishments. But, in all honesty, I guarantee that my work plate has been FAR more difficult than that of Stanford boy - yet if we are measured by efficacy, I am in total failure by comparison.

It's like comparing the stats of a .500 hitting t-baller to a mendoza-line major leaguer and then comparing their outputs with a straight face.

Anyway, Stanford boy is just being used as an example. Like I already mentioned, what I've said about him may or may not be true. It's the better than thou ideology that I am taking issue with and Stanford boy just seems to ooze with it - he may not in reality.

BS! What about all the other students that actually deserved an A!?!?

Smart move doing CC before a 4 year school. That's basically what I did and it saved me a ton.

Yeah, my brother went to the UC system right away. He's going to walk away from school 100,00+ in debt. I just can't fathom that right now or in the future. I'm looking @ a 1-2 years @ a big school and then I'm fuckin' done. I'm hoping to get hired on with the federal government, they pay off student loans.

Student loans are a great system for forcing people to join "productive" society immediately after graduation...my fiscally conservative system allowed me a lot of time for playing music and skiing...

So you didn't get enough points to get an "A", and you failed one of the very few exams in the course? And for some reason your are pissed at the teacher? What a bunch of useless bitching.

Pretty much inline with the sense of entitlement in this country, and the idea of many that things should just be given to them.

I read the OP to mean that his 539 points included the 40% on the first exam. So that exam was like a D but after that he had A++, and missed the course grade of A by 1 point.

I think you read it to mean that he got an A on course work after the initial exam, so that his overall average was well below an A.

I think that Pontius is saying that you aren't entitled to criticize the general idea of entitlements if you used entitlements, such as the student loans you later said you used.

Rush Limbaugh loves the quality of the Hawaii medical system, where costs are very low because everyone is required to be insured. Being from out of state, he paid for it, but look at all of the other bums who use entitlements.

Rush follows a long litany of conservatives, such as all Members of Congress that have a medical office paid for by taxpayers available in the Capitol, by Dick Cheney who had socialist pacemakers implanted paid for by the government, and George W who had a government-paid socialist colonoscopy while in office. Members of Congress over 65 get single-payer socialist medical care from Medicare.

My point is really simple. Stanford boy lacks empathy and genuine introspection. Stanford boy assumes responsibility for a myriad of determinants that put him in a position to succeed, rather than acknowledging his fortuitous circumstance to be in a position to succeed in the first place. Stanford boy measures a person's worth by their efficacy because Stanford boy is wont to believe that HIS efficacy is what separates him from the pack. Where others fail in their efficacy is simple to him; a result of not working hard and/or smart. Stanford boy is so myopic that he doesn't appreciate his opportunity enough to see that others might not have had such fortune; by calling out others who might demand a similar opportunity that he was afforded.


I'm kind of tired. That's all conjecture and may or may not be true with regard to Stanford boy. I just don't like people who use life just the same as others - yet fail to see it - and still have the gull to assume total responsibility for their place in life. In Jargon Town, we call them hypocrites.

All this butt-hurting over me calling out somebody that is mad at their teacher for not getting an "A". Even though they didn't get enough points for an "A".

Everybody should get all A's. Everybody should be a millionaire without working. Hooray!

Bernie Madoff guaranteed returns; we all see what those guarantees were worth. Unless you know about the background of blazerboy30, it seems you don't have enough data points to know for certain.
