Functional illiteracy in America

I felt sorry for him and gave him a pass in our first exchange here even though it was obvious he was at least borderline racist. I actually wrote that I was sorry to hear about his challenges and that I hoped he has been able to get some relief. It was sincere. I've been mostly hands-off since then, until his idiotic initial comments here.

Fuck him. There's nothing borderline about his racism. It's complete.

Your completely wrong about me.

And I thanked you for your kind words about my illness.

What makes you think you and buck are so important here that your statements like this post become truth?

Because you say it is?

I was arrested on an ordinance that targeted white drug users driving in to a drug area over 20 years ago. Like every childish thing you do here to try to discredit anyone who disagrees with you buck has been clinging to that one for months hoping to win the internet for himself.

And you think you are friends. Lol.

How many different ways can I say this? My importance here? infinitesimal. Unlike many of the overwrought like yourself, I'm aware of this. I'm not jockeying for a position in the fake world you've constructed around these forums. I'm here to blow off steam and have a little fun. That's it. What do you hope to get out of your interactions here?

I don’t know what you are talking about.

You are like tty when he loses and talks to someone who likes him on the side for support pretending his opinion is still correct.

Of course if you would quote a whole comment the way it was written I wouldn’t have had to repeat that.
Oh, for fuck's sake, let me go dig it up. Sigh. Wait here...

(edit)
...I really did have to scroll up and find it. I cut it out because it was tasteless and below the belt (and/or wasn't funny).

That might be part of the problem. Education systems, unless they are for profit, should never lead you to think you will get a decent job simply because you graduated from their school. The responsibility is yours to find that job. I think I mentioned U. of Phoenix and Fullsail as examples of this earlier. Both for profit schools, both not worth the money spent on the education.

Who loaned you the money? The school? Who sold you the lie? Trump University?
Then why would anyone go on average $50k in debt for no monetary gain? I would have done better investing that money in the market, or simply buying shares in the University. I was sold the idea since I was in 3rd grade, repeatedly shown the statistics of college vs non-college earnings, can't think of one time anyone said it was not the best path to a career. But the economy changed, the job market changed, education cost went up and the earnings to pay it back vanished. Also, I was stupid enough to believe my degree/major would land me a job.

The school didn't loan me the money, the government that allowed that state university to receive government back unsecured loans did. The school and the government are both guaranteed to make money the way they set it up. Do you not see a problem with a school taking $50k in government backed loans without any promise to the government that the money would be spent making sure that the lendee could pay back that debt? To me, it looks like the lender and the university are abusing both students and the taxpayer subsidizing the loans.

What fake world? Yours? You are the one challenging me for no reason and making up things about me to say.

I usually just read along in this forum unless something spurs me to make a comment. As soon as I do. This weird useless crap you guys continually repeat insues.

What were we talking about before we started fucking with each other?

There is that bit about your emphasizing how they let the blacks go. I'm sure you can understand how we might interpret that as you having issues with race.

Also, nobody can just be neutral about Nazis killing people. There is no middle ground there.

On the other hand, for a fragile white person who has issues with their racist leanings, you aren't that bad.

he is the 1/3 of germans who stood by and watched as another third of germans killed the other third of germans.

I get the difference between secure and unsecure debt. If the education sold to you actually lead to a decent job, or if you were at least warned/informed about the actual job placement rates for your major, there would be less to no harm done. My gripe is mostly with the institution that claimed 98-99% job placement (go check the actual stats from 2007-today) and with the accreditation of that institution to accept government back unsecure loans. From my perspective, it was a predatory loan because I was sold a lie.
For-profit schools have a lot to answer for and the people in congress who back them should be burned at the stake.

Government backed student loans, if they are to be given out at all, should go only to state-run schools. Non-profit private schools should look for their money elsewhere too.

*imaginary ordinance

Yeah I imagined the police. The handcuffs. The squad car. The courtroom. The community service and fine. Even my supposedly expunged record that has haunted me for all these years in every new state.


And the 9 or so other white guys grouped with me in front of the DA to decide our hopeless plea.

What the hell does an immature straight edge like you know about court and jail? What you see on tv?

You have no knowledge so you pretend it didn’t exist. Then you can tell yourself you are always 100% correct.

You are only in a debate with yourself and we all know you are losing.

But you keep repeating your own idea of me being neutral about the people that killed my great grandfather which is pretty insulting.

I only ever meant I remain neutral in these mindless one sided debates.

And buck skewed the meaning of my original comment about my experience right away and just repeats his own context.

I told that story because Buck asked for any example of police picking on whites. There are examples. White car owning drug addicts are targeted in drug areas every day. They pay their fines. It’s profiling.

And I don’t see any reason from my initial posts around here for the continued negative attention I get in his forum. So fuck it. I have some fun with them.

And you sometimes. ;-)

Just saying, when you emphasize how they let "the blacks" go, it's a tell about your real feelz. Also, sitting on the sidelines while nazis kill people isn't really being neutral.

Other than you having issues recognizing your racist leanings and that you tolerate Nazis killing people you aren't that bad.

fake ordinance guy accuses others of fakeness. grand.

At least you hold your pathetic ground.

Are you Tweetler?

Why would someone lie about an ordinance they were arrested under?

For you? To prove something? Man you are an important internet winner. Self important.

Why do you hate me? Because I am white? Jewish? More knowledgeable and experienced than you?

Better at this silly crap you do here than you? It’s easy to make you look bad. We just have to disagree with you.
