I love how he says that he received 2 scholarships, most likely public funded scholarships since he went to a community collage, then goes on to say that he expects nothing to be handed to him... To bad they can't teach common sense. =(

yeah.. too bad they can't teach common sense... something you learned a great deal of at "collage"?

[-] 1 points by tr289 (916) from Chicago, IL 13 years ago

I didn't go to college, i didn't need to. I enjoyed life into my early 20's then started my business. I'm now semi retired at the ripe old age of 34. What is it that you do again ? Corporate peeon ?

[-] 1 points by inearth (96) from Tulelake, CA 13 years ago

Do you really want to go there? Because I wouldn't if I were you. I'm probably a lot more successful than you are and I'm 30... and yeah, I own my own software company.

3 Youtube subscribers, 233 twitter followers... I would seriously consider another line of work. If you can drive a truck i got a job for you. Long hours and hard work but you would probably make more in 1 night working for me then you do in an entire year working from your parents basement. And why does your YouTube account say your 23 ?

What is this bro? You're really serious?.. We do a lot more than just that one game (which we recently released)... Why am I having this pissing contest with you? This is my fault... I'm going to ignore you now.

[-] 1 points by tr289 (916) from Chicago, IL 13 years ago

You are the one that wanted to get into the pissing contest. You are the one that jumped on me for 1 misspelled word.

lol, you trolls are so weak. Tea Party member ?

There is no way you guys are 30 and 34. Come on now. Take off your gaming headsets and go eat dinner mom made.

too bad you can't spell college. I suppose you didn't get the scholarship?

"too bad you can't spell college. I suppose you didn't get the scholarship?"

I'm not a very smart man, obviously. I can't even spell collage... college. I'm curious though, are you not supposed to capitalize the first letter at the beginning of a sentence ?

[-] 1 points by inearth (96) from Tulelake, CA 13 years ago

Is that all you have to hold onto? You bitch about someone else not having common sense, and you end up looking like a fool.

[-] 2 points by tr289 (916) from Chicago, IL 13 years ago

Common sense and spelling have nothing to do with one another. If you had common sense you would know that.

[-] 0 points by inearth (96) from Tulelake, CA 13 years ago

I think I have common sense not to argue with you anymore... Arguing with moron is tiresome because you have a lot more experience being a moron than I have arguing with one.

[-] 1 points by tr289 (916) from Chicago, IL 13 years ago

Awww, I was having so much fun arguing about my horrible spelling ! Can't you come up with ((sumthing)) else ?

[-] 0 points by sumdumpunk (29) 13 years ago

Yes. I apologize, sincerely (sincerely!). That was off color. And yes, my English and grammar teacher would be horrified.

[-] 1 points by tr289 (916) from Chicago, IL 13 years ago

And exactly why do i care about your English teacher ?

[-] 1 points by sumdumpunk (29) 13 years ago

Now who's rude. Jerkface.

[-] 1 points by inearth (96) from Tulelake, CA 13 years ago

tr289 stands for troll #289...

[-] 1 points by sumdumpunk (29) 13 years ago
  1. That's how much I care.

This statement was derogatory, and disrespectful.

[-] 1 points by sumdumpunk (29) 13 years ago

Yes. I apologize, sincerely. That was off color.

[-] 1 points by occupytheworld (55) 13 years ago

I apologize, you talked to a troll.

[-] 1 points by inearth (96) from Tulelake, CA 13 years ago

I disagree, I think the statement was quite apt, and appropriate.

It is unfortunate that this person has bought into the idea that this movement is about "getting free stuff" or "shifting the blame".

The co-opting and blatant misrepresentation of this movement hurts.

This movement started on one principle - the government does not represent the American people's interests anymore. The political ideology of left or right doesn't even matter. Neither values are being represented. Just the values of those with the money to buy the right agenda.

Yes, but the sad truth is there are still too many people like him. That are the 99% but just don't get it yet. Isn't it people like him that we want to be able to get on board the OWS train?

It's easy to make fun of him, but is that really what we want to do?

[-] 2 points by occupytheworld (55) 13 years ago

Apparently this guy didn't go to school for economics.

Not everyone has the smarts to earn a 3.8 GPA. Scholarships are competitive. I admire your sensibility. Good luck finding a job that will pay you what you're worth.

So this is a picture of someone who doesnt get it yet. That is ok, he( i am assuming) is still young. Wait till he has had some experience in real life. He will get it.

You can be cocky when you spend 16-18 years being taken care of by someone else and then get most of your higher education paid for so you can come out of school debt free.

This person hasnt even got a taste of what life is like....yet. But wait, when they do they will find it to be quite bitter and not very agreeable.

[-] 1 points by thebeastchasingitstail (1912) 13 years ago

Many hard working, self sufficient people feel there are things that need changing.

OWS really has nothing to do with not wanting to work, or getting a handout as so many of you want to imply.

And no, he isn't part of the 1%, he has nothing. He may have graduated college without debt, good on him. He's not a billionaire, though.

[-] 1 points by SATX (9) 13 years ago

Good for him.
