I wonder how many of these kids were turned away initially so the colleges could meet their diversity quota's?


Seems like most of these were accepted only thru their false sports credentials, and we all know accommodations to meet the quote will be made in other places in the name of profits!


When the 14th Amendment doesn't apply to whites, when you have anti-white policies such as affirmative action, this should be no surprised to anybody.

I just read an article about this earlier today. At first I was appalled and then I was very sad. Why would one spend exorbitant amounts of money to get their child into a school they don't qualify for when it's highly unlikely they're  going to make it? They'll end up having to pay someone to ensure they have the grades to graduate. After that, they're in the real world where they can't make it either so they turn to alcohol and drugs. Perhaps that's a bit pessimistic but I can't for the life of me understand the reasoning.

I so agree.  I had a friend who touted her kid's perfect scores in high school. Kid went to a private school and was a big fish in a small pond there.  Kid gets in a big university and was a small fish in a big pond, couldn't hack it and couldn't make those perfect grades. Got hooked on drugs and alcohol and flunked out. Got off the drugs and alcohol and enrolled in a smaller college and is doing okay.

I’m always surprised when I see anyone who still supports trump. He lied about everything. Mexico’s is not paying for the wall. He is increasing the deficit. He did not replace Obamacare with anything better. He did not defeat ISIS. Hillary is not in prison (yet many who worked for him are]. He promised he wouldn’t cut social security or Medicaid, yet his latest budget proposes cuts to both.

How in the world can any rational, sane person still support him?

Oh right....he signed bibles. Is he Donald Christ?

Honestly...I don’t care. do you?

Sorry. Didn’t mean to channel Melanoma, but there are bigger issues in my mind. Black kids carrying cell phones being shot. Stage 4 pancreatic cancer patients getting their hospital room tossed because some jack booted thug thought they smelled pot. Folks losing their health care, pensions, veterans benefits, social security, kids being held in cages (excuse me...wire cottages) at the border...those are real issues. Rich people gaming the system to get their spoiled rotten kids into a better school....meh....it’s par for the course.

It's shitty, sure, but really just business as usual.


The fraud only worked because the whole system is corrupt.

Exactly,  here's one for the books for you.  Daughter has to have braces, otherwise her teeth will grow into her jaws. Orthodontist contacts insurance company, jumps through every hoop they asked and they still want to deny her. We have been paying dental insurance for over 3 years and yet, they want to claim hers isn't medically necessary.  I told husband we will just pay out of pocket.

My daughter has severe back issues. Was supposed to have surgery on Monday to fuse her spine. Insurance companies over-ruled her doctors who have done two previous surgeries and countless hours of physical utherapy and denied her surgery. I will never understand how we have allowed ourselves to reach a place where insurance companies are allowed to make medical decisions for us.

How many countries with socialized medicine have voted to get rid of it?

It is nuts and they all thought Obamacare was a joke but Trump hasn't done one thing to help anyone except his own kind.

Does this really surprise you when we have "adults" talking like 6 year old's?   "Melanoma"


You talk like a child, but expect everyone else to hold a higher standard of how they act.  Seriously?


What is it with Trump that makes liberals trigger into a mentally regressive state? 


You're not the first person I've seen doing this here and It's just weird.

If all you have to bitch about is a persons spelling then I think you have ran out of relevant things to say

I'm pretty sure he didn't misspell Melania Trump's name on accident. So I don't know what you're talking about when you say "spelling". Reading comprehension too hard?

Please try  and control your non-relevant emotional outbursts, Thanks.

I said when coming here, I wouldnt get involved in the serious issues that divide this country, but *shrugs shoulders* here I am.
Why are we "triggered"? He's fake, a sham. He ran on peoples fears, and ignorance of others. The man surrounded himself with rich business thugs who played the system, and for me I look for a man's character within his social circles. He sits in our highest office, and makes a mockery of our constitution while sending out petty tweets. For a person to agree with Trumps decisions, is saying our past presidents were worthless, and didn't do a thing for you, or protect you. To me that sounds like you're ungrateful for what you have been given in this country.
I could go on, and on, but instead on a different note. If you're wanting to debate political issues, leave religion out of it also. (Noticed religion, and equality in before statements) Religion has become a crutch for people to use when logic has failed them. This is the United States. We have freedom of religion, which will not always line up with your religious beliefs. Their values run as deep as yours, but for different purposes. Alrighty then. Rant over, and nice to meet you Window Licker. Btw with a name like yours you should be supporting some mental health issues. Window licking is scary real. Js ;-)

The fact is, you just describe in great detail any political party that's held office over the last 200+ years. You seem to have an unrealistic, romantic view on any pre-Trump American politics. Maybe you are just glossing over the "bad" things others did because it's "your side" doing it?  Mr. Weepy gave us a good example of this level of hypocrisy in the "Politics" thread.

I thank you for your personal opinion of "why" people mentally regress into a child like demeanor when discussing Trump in here.  I guess if that's the only way you (others) can express yourself, as a child, I think us voters got bigger problems than some out of context black kid randomly getting shot that Sundog mentioned.

I seriously doubt the validity of someone claiming they can make rational, well thought out choices when they act like this, let alone say they understand what a "good" President is and vote accordingly.  Now that's scary. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 Nicely worded statement about religion. I can't tell if you hold me in high esteem as an intellectual colleague, reprimanding me for (entertaining a religious debate) answering people's religious questions/asking and challenging their own religious views in a political thread. Or implying I'm bringing up religion myself and pushing my own religious value's onto others. Which I have not.


Someone else thought the latter and I had to point out questions(?) are not statements of fact of ones beliefs. Answering someone's questions, when asked, is not pushing my religious values onto others. Quoting the full verse when someone half-quotes the Bible to push their own political anti-male agenda and calling them out on it is just good old fashion integrity. If people don't want to discuss others religion in the politics threads, maybe they shouldn't bring it up to begin with.

I think that probably covers all the misconceptions you might have if so. If you need some more clarity, feel free to ask.





Good to meet you also, DuckieDoll. I enjoyed your reply.  My name, Window Lickers Union, is a homage to all the window lickers that use to gather (union) in the local Topix forum. After the slobbering display I've seen some of the posters do in here, I'm glad I kept it.
