Hey handsomehunk, a little background for you: I paid my way through college. Among the jobs I had was: Being lowered into a railraod tanker by an electrostatic cable( there was a small danger of spark/explosion) to scrape flour residue off the inside of flour cars. This was done before sunrise and was outside. By the way, I went to school in Minnesota which means being outside before sunrise in Minnesota 5 days a week during the school year. You know, November, December, January, February... etc. I doubt you have ever experienced such cold for so long. It was a two man job but I almost always did it alone. The second person rarely came back after the first day in winter(some even slipped away at lunch the first day) before quitting but I needed the money and worked hard enough that they just paid me both salaries( I think it was $12.00/hour or so)
After I would finish scraping the cars, I would drive home and take a long hot shower to warm up and to pick clumps of flour out of every crack and crevice in my body. Then I'd go to class.
Opportunities? I made them myself.
Taken it for granted? You couldn't be more wrong. I busted my asss to pay for college, earned it.
my heart bleeds for you, truly it does. but why didnt you get a paper round like everyone else?
i can tolerate your views about my education (which does not relate to inteligence) but to call me a coward and a liar is below even you.
well done for getting yourself through education 'all by your lonesome' im sure this gives you a great sense of achievement. but if your so clever why, like me , are you a stupid online gaming dweeb?
for what its worth i have had no assistance from anyone since my parents split up when i was five. i lived with my alcohilc mother and her various abusive boyfriends. i have worked hard for myself and refuse to be called a coward.
as to being a liar, i refuse to accept this too. i do not have a need to lie. i think this argument is in progress becuase i have ben too honest with my opinions.
why are you taking my observations of the human race as a personal insult to yourself?
now we can either keep this stupid fight going, as it is clear niether of us will ever change our opinions.
or
we can accept our differences and forget this now.
i see little or no alternatives.
will you accept my offer of truce, steve, or shall we continue being idiots?
