I got so pissed at BF1943 the other day I deleted it.

That's cheaper than throwing a controller.

Im 24 and thats how I was brought up. My parents didnt let me blame someone else for my stupidity and I paid the consequences, then learned and tried not to make the same mistake again. What happened to personal responsiblity? If the company doesn't want to hire her, thats is their choice. Maybe they need some one with a lot of book smarts more than street smarts. Sometimes a degree doesnt mean shit, but that is up to the employer. Grow up people.

So you are an alien! Jk, personal responsibility has vanished. It's disgusting.

Read this article and you'll see more of the epidemic: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30585984/

i meant in 4 days...you guys are always together when I see you.

I know, we'll both be out of town this weekend, but next is available. I'll be in Cali and she'll be in Michigan (yuck). How about it?

or until your mirror's birthday...

I didn't know I was supposed to be celebrating my mirror's birthday. I celebrated my recliner's and lamp's birthday, but not my mirror. Great, now I feel like a jerk.

Whew, ok good, I'm safe then. I'll try to avoid any contact with the San Quentinites when I travel to Cali on Saturday. I don't want to bring back any California-isms.

happy birthday! we should all get together and kick it in a centralized locale...

My new house is very central to my location. You and ole Trapper should come down here one of these days.

WOOT! Pajama party! (lulz)

We already did...you missed it. You have to wait until next year now.

I hope these people don't travel to ohio.

My parents and I are from California...what are you trying to say???

Yeah saw you too, I must be the only dude in the world that doesn't play COD.

But it's sooooo good.

The McD's incident awhile ago? She didn;t know he coffee was hot? I've spilled hot stuff in my lap. My fist thought was not to sue Tim Horton's, it was "Oh shit, I was a dumbass and now my nuts are on fire.

If my college GPA was a C, I would expect the company to hire the person who had a B or A average. Then I would wonder why I didn;t try harder in college and blame myself and not someone else for my mistakes.

You must be at least a few years older with that mentality. It's allllllll wrong for those in their early to mid twenties...or you're an alien.

i'm so sick of sharks and snakes...you never see a giraffe week or zebra marathon

Nope, but you get marathons of Meerkat Manor.

Yeah but you have to work nine months a year, get those holidays off, spring break, winter break, STRS, no social security tax, the list goes on and on. The average teacher in Ohio only makes ~$57k

I wasn't bitching about pay, I guess I was thinking more about schools in general. People don't realize that it takes a lot of tax dollars to run a good school, especially in an area that keeps growing quickly. Sorry for the confusion. The thing I do bitch about is the amount of debt we rack up quickly since we're forced to after a master's within so many years of graduating. You graduate college with $25,000-$30,000 of loans and then have to turn right around and accrue another $15,000+. It's very depressing. The summers, holidays, and snow days definitely make up for everything though, don't get me wrong. I couldn't possibly have a job that was year round with only a few weeks of vacation. I don't know how you all do it.

They should make kids watch the movie 'Idiocracy' in school, every day, from kindergarten through college.

YES!! Thank you!! Somebody else who truly appreciates that movie! I totally agree. Everybody should watch that movie and if they don't understand it, then they're part of the problem.

Gen Why is definitely different than Gen X than Gen Y etc etc....

I'm 26, I'm the "tell me I'm doing a good job" generation... I'm working on it, but it's hard to change. My boss is Gen X... very much the "if I don't hear anything I'll assume I'm good"

As much as you want to change it, it's not going away

True. I'm 27, but I operate more on the same mentality as your boss. I don't need to be patted on the back all the time, just leave me alone until I do something wrong.

I hate my generation because they all think they are entitled to things and don't have to work for it.

That comment couldn't be closer to the truth. It is VERY frustrating to deal wtih as a teacher. Not only do the kids feel entitled, but the parents come storming in every time their child isn't given an A, whether the child earned it or not. We are screwed, LOL.

I have two opinions. First my GPA in HS was 2.8. I didn't go to college, but I went to a tech school and got certificates and a 4.0 at graduation. So to answer your question, yes.

Disregarding your rant on college education for a moment, we are not talking about her high school GPA. My GPA in high school was also a 2.8, but I graduated college with a 3.7. College, or whatever post-secondary program you attend, is far different from high school. You didn't actually answer the question at hand.

Now, to address your rant. While college may be overrated, the fact of the matter is that some jobs require a college degree whether you like it or not. As a teacher, I am in debt up to my f'n eyeballs, because not only am I required to have a bachelor's degree, but I am also required to pursue a master's. To top it off, the public generally neglects the fact that teacher's are public employees. Whenever a local tax debate comes up, without fail, people always mention police and firefighters, but rarely teachers. It's sad, but that's why teachers teach for the love of it, not the money. Ok, my rant is over now.

I LOL when I came to the part about her 2.7 GPA. Is she really that shocked she's not getting hired when she only had a high C average? Really? Is she also completely unaware of the fact that the nation is still in the midst of a recession and there are TONS of people that have lost jobs, are going to lose jobs, or can't find a new job? What an idiot.

Mom is still a fucking idiot that should have a basketball wrapped in barbed wire shoved up her snatch as a preventive measure.

Ouch.

Toooo far, plus I like my idea better.

Whatever you choose, make sure you can run google latitude so Dweezel, ScrappyM and I can stalk you! (Insert evil laugh here.)

lol. Glad i popped your thread cherry.

Oo la la.

Dang, I was waiting for somebody to venture into this thread and see the same amazing things I saw while in Newark today.

Values may be going up, but banks aren't financing any mortgages in "high-risk" areas. A buddy of mine tried buying a house in Akron, between him and his wife they had almost 50% down and a credit score of 790. Denied, and by multiple banks.

Wow, I'm single, credit in the 700s, and had zero down. I didn't have any trouble buying a house this past month. That must be really frustrating for your friends. gl to them.

In case you were wondering, yes, you can fit a dryer in the trunk of a Grand Prix:

Just FYI.

Scrappy are you pimping me out?
