Oh my lord!
So there is this dippy intern I used to work with. He's now in law school, which is a scary thought since he is one of the biggest idiots I've ever met. Working with attorneys has made me realize that I could have, and should have gone to law school, and that it is something not reserved for the brilliant. Anyway, here is an excerpt from our chat this morning.
PtR413 (9:36:05 AM): bc theres more financial aid being given out
PtR413 (9:36:07 AM): and im not happy
mindyrama1 (9:36:26 AM): So get yourself some financial aid. What me to teach you how?
PtR413 (9:36:35 AM): it doesnt work like that
mindyrama1 (9:36:46 AM): How terrible it must be for you that more people can now afford to go to school...
PtR413 (9:36:47 AM): im still on my parents insurance
PtR413 (9:36:55 AM): exactly
PtR413 (9:36:57 AM): it is terrible
PtR413 (9:37:04 AM): a college degree is now going to be toilet paper
mindyrama1 (9:38:20 AM): So, you are whiney little rich boy who has insurance and has school being paid for by his parents, and are mad because the less fortunate people in the country are being given a right to education and healthcare? Do you have any idea was a selfish sonofabitch you are?
PtR413 (9:38:45 AM): yuo are wrong
PtR413 (9:39:01 AM): 1) i have 45K of loans for law school
PtR413 (9:39:19 AM): 2) i worked very hard in college, and now in law school to get my education and graduate with good merit
mindyrama1 (9:39:40 AM): Jared has a degree from the University of Hannover in Germany, where school is free. He still managed to get into Rice. No college degree is useless. Get over it, Richie Rich.
PtR413 (9:39:49 AM): 3) because of that hard work, i should have the opportunity over thos who havent
PtR413 (9:40:10 AM): 4) too much parody in the workforce messes up the middle class
mindyrama1 (9:40:37 AM): Haven't what?? Worked hard??? Are you fucking kidding me? You are even worse that I thought!
PtR413 (9:40:56 AM): i worked hard to graduate with good GPA
PtR413 (9:41:03 AM): and awards
PtR413 (9:41:13 AM): you dont get handed your gpa
PtR413 (9:41:15 AM): you work for it
mindyrama1 (9:42:44 AM): Exactly!!! You work for that GPA! That's what will make you successful. Other people being given a chance to succeed shouldn't threaten that. You work hard, you do well. Just look at Obama. PtR413 (9:43:14 AM): trust me, i think he is a great leader
PtR413 (9:43:36 AM): and i would be all for him 5 years ago
PtR413 (9:43:41 AM): but now that i am graduated
PtR413 (9:43:56 AM): and going to a law school to be in an upper-middle class profession
PtR413 (9:44:10 AM): i worry about how this is going to affect me and my livlihood
mindyrama1 (9:44:20 AM): I think if a poor black man can rise through the ranks and become successful, against all odds. A well off rich boy like yourself who has had a much better lot in life can do well, ...if he wants to.
PtR413 (9:44:22 AM): it may be selfish, but i gotta get mines
BTW- this chat started of with his screaming about communism. His parents sent him to private school (high school) and a private university. Apparently, that wasn't enough for him. He wants it all, and all for himself. No one else should have a free shot. Afterall, his parents worked very hard to send him to school so he could get good grades. He earned that right, right?? Just fucking scary.
