What am I doing at the "expense" of the children? I DO care about them and their success. However, while helping them, I am helping myself. How does that hurt the kids? My parents didn't shirk their responsibiliti es. Again, a nice stab at a convenient analysis. You really do your homework. I do love how you, the advocate for the children, are quick to crucify teenagers who turn out a certain way due to poor parenting (read: your fantasy of me). Very honorable. See, I, unlike you, recognize that not every kid is given the same opportunity for success, and not all kids have parents who give a damn. That's why I take time out of my day to tutor them. Do you really think tutoring looks that good on a resume? Please. It doesn't. It's a meager effort. That cannot be denied. But I do it for pure reasons. Does it qualify as "padding?" You bet it does, and no one could give it any other title.
Yes, I am going to Nicaragua on a Peace Corps-related visit. My sister is in the Peace Corps, and I haven't seen her in a year, so I'm going to visit her. Then I'm going to work in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska immediately afterwards. So, despite your best efforts to paint me a coward, I truly must depart from this conversation.
My true name is David.
Sweet life; congrats on all the success. I hope your kids are loving life under your reign. You're really secure; I can tell.
p.s. Because, in this conversation, nothing of mine is at stake, you can't claim to have taken it. (Haha.)
What, do you think I don't know where Alaska is? I hope the mosquitos carry you off....
Dave, Smelliott, whatever your name is...you can't have it both ways. You tell us how you are using your volunteer time just to pad your resume, because the world is a cruel place, and well, you just have to do greasy things like that to get rich and famous....then on the other side of your mouth, you tell us that you only do it for the poor and destitute children, and well, padding your resume really doesn't count for much. This doublespeak once again proves that nothing you say can be trusted. In addition, the soft, slimy way you try to nicely run away is a total joke...I can hold your spot in line here until you return, so I can continue owning your idiotic liberal socialist ass, after the very moment you return....oh, that's right, IF you return. I have reduced you to a blabbering, soft-speaking loser, with you hoping I will release the clamp I have on you....since your direct frontal attack has failed, failed miserably. Even your 'buddies' here have abandoned you.....
But that's all just peachy to you, as you will try to resurrect yourself with a warm and fuzzy comeback, with you softly stating how you don't understand why I am so mean and nasty. You shot yourself in the foot yet again...first you tell us how you enjoy being mean and nasty to 11-year-olds on the server, but you berate me because I call you on it, and point out that you spoke out of both sides of your ass again...you just love "helping" gradeschool kids learn how to read, but you also love to run down that same age bracket of kids on the server, because it gets you off....I can point out your missteps all day, if you would like...
I also notice you didn't name your school that you attend....firs
t of all, I don't really care, like I am going to hunt down some guy named "dave"....but what I know I wil find is that you are attending a liberal private school....and that you also have liberal parents....goo
d intentions have ruled your entire life, nevermind you are pissing your life away on stupid causes(or are you? You haven't really given a good explanation on whether or not volunteering is good for the resume...).
At the expense of sounding mean and cruel, let me point out just how stupid you and your sister are(this seems to run in the family, now that you mention it):
1. Volunteering to teach kids how to read: Why are you doing this? Don't we have a wonderful public school system? Or are these kids here illegally, so they can't attend public schools? Your mode of thought, that these kids are too stupid for you, and the parents are also too stupid...well, become a parent, and try thinking that way again. Being a parent, with kids in the public school system...you know what I find? Liberal idiots more concerned with politics and agendas, and the kids suffer. These idiots are more concerned with indoctrinating than teaching the ABC's...If I hadn't taught all 4 of my kids how to read, my oldest son would be in high school, clueless as to what he was doing, because he was not taught how to read in school. The majority of what is taught, is liberal garbage that does not apply to the outside world...kind of like what you are going to school for. This all ties together....mo
re to follow....
2. The Peace Corps. Why the hell is your sister working in a backwater Central American country? I know why: Becoming a martyr for the "cause", once again, padding the resume for her public sector job later on down the road. How do you fix problems in any country, which opresses its inhabitants? You change it from the top down. Make it damned uncomfortable for the leadership to continue to stifle growth...and educate the citizens to be able to keep limited government when they get it. This still ties in with above....
And here is where it all ties together.
What you are doing, 'Dave', which is typical of liberal idiots who have a lot of Daddy's money, but didn't have to earn it, is attacking a problem with a very meaningless, but intention-fullfilling solution. You aren't solving the problem, you are just doing something that makes you feel good about yourself (like the BS policy of liberals who think they can instill positive self esteem from without), and gives the appearance to your other idiot liberal friends that you care. The liberal idiots create a problem (bad schools); Blame the parents(bad schools do not prepare students for life after school); and the ride in with a solution...get idiot volunteers like yourself to come help out and join in all the fun. You know that you are only doing this volunteer gig so this will help you get a better public sector job later on (or are you? You haven't really given an honest reply about that), but since you are doing it, you can throw it in people's faces, should the opportunity arise....
The Peace Corps? Hey, if there is a gigantic natural disaster, fine, go help. But to go to countries that don't give a rat's ass about their inhabitants (hey, go watch the movie 'blackhawk down', and see where being 'well-intentioned' gets you), and waste valuable lifespan 'helping' people who will never be free anyway because of the country's leadership problems, why bother? Do you think you are going to "good intention" these people to freedom? No, you won't. You are simply making them comfortable, dulling them from doing anything about their own problems. Once again, great intentions, ZERO results. I am seeing a lot of inconsistencie
s a with you, Dave...you talk out of both sides of your derrierre', circle away from conflicts, thinking you can hide among your vanished buddies...and are suckered into helping the very same people who are the CAUSE of the problems you are trying to fix...lol...wh
at an idiot.
Am I rambling? No, these are just the final coffin nails. But hey, go have a fun time in wonderful, war-torn Nicaragua! And after that, have fun in the Mosquito-Ravaged North Country! I will be waiting for your return!!!
