Why do you guys keep using my name for your stereotype example? You’re racists.

Not what am I saying. You can train a guy to lay tile and clean hotel rooms in a week. Someone wanting to be a lawyer or doctor, takes years to do so. That is working hard, even though it’s not labor intensive.
What???? How you know the lawyer worked harder?? How you know it's not just some rich kid that was given the job because daddy was the boss of the law firm?? Isnt there a bunch of celebrities in trouble for paying for their kids to get into some college?? Did the Kardashians work or harder than Cardi B??
I know. I’m saying with the right attitude and work ethic a guy that lays tile can live in the same neighborhood as the lawyer.
In order to be a real lawyer or doctor, you have to pass tests, can’t just be one because your dad says so.
Yeah and that is wrong and they got caught. If they would have just settled for Long Beach St instead of USC, everything would have been fine.
I don’t give two shits about any Kardashians or Cardi B. They’re rich for other reasons and if they walked into a restaurant, they would get the table before you did. Is it fair? No, but that’s how shit works. Maybe Cardi B works hard, I don’t care, it’s music. Sometimes you get opportunities because you’re hot, and that happens in the real world too.
Jim Senter isn’t going to listen to 2 year season ticket holder for 2 cheap seats. He’s listening to the big donors and long time season ticket holders.
For sure. What I am saying that Fili doesn’t understand is, a part-time tile layer that huffs paint and gets welfare, doesn’t work as hard as guy who went to law school and become a lawyer.
I dont think Franklin was built for white people. Maybe more white people live in the neighborhood?
Which are the top rated public high schools in EP?
To an extent yes. It's the chip on my shoulder that reinforces my mentality of "Steves". It's not necessarily a correct thing to do but it is done as a motivator to get me to work harder. Not all Steves are entitled millennials but in my experience, vast majority are.
I think it is awful and extremely unpresidential. And I also hate being called every awful term known to man because I disagree with people. I've said this before, I have debated conservatives and liberals and liberals are far worse at vicious name calling at the first sign of disagreement

Yes there is a big line between stereotyping and racism, but it can be blurred pretty quickly especially if you dont know the other person. We all have to be careful.
If Colombia was going to name itself after Christopher Columbus, and the country is a Spanish speaking country, shouldn't the name be Colonia (Cristobal Colon)? Also, the country is spelled Colombia, not Columbia.
I am quite aware of the correct spelling of the country. I suggest you double check my quote and you'll see I spelled it correctly as Colombia.
And furthermore from lonelyplanet: "Colombia" is named after Christopher Columbus, the explorer who began the European colonization of the Americas. Even though Columbus himself never set foot, Alonso de Ojeda, one of Columbus's companions in his second voyage, was the first European to set foot in 1499.
In 1819, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Panama declared independence from Spain, and formed a country called "Gran Colombia". Venezuela and Ecuador separated in 1830. Panama continued to be part of Colombia until 1903, at which point it proclaimed independence.
I'm assuming your family took advantage of some democratic based programs to survive? Did you attend Austin?
It depends what type of parents you have and how much support they will offer you.
I know a single mother who doesn't make much who took second mortgages on her house, worked three jobs, and has two roommates to help pay for her son's private education.
There are kids who go to Franklin whose parents might not offer a lot of financial support.
100% agree with this.
Somebody who goes to Franklin just doesn't have it easier automatically vs. a kid who goes to Bowie.
I drove a 15 year old car in college while going to UTEP. My parents made over $100k a year. My cousin who went to Riverside, whose mother probably made about $25-30k a year bought her son a brand new car and paid for a private college education because she went worked three jobs, had two roommates, and had a second mortgage on her house.
Calling me "entitled" because my parents made more money is silly.
I guess I was "entitled" because my parents made over $100k a year and I drove a 15 year old car going to UTEP.
Stop stereotyping people.
I would work just as hard, if not harder, than you.
You still have to go to law school and pass the bar exam.
I believe his name was Cristoforo Colombo as he was Italian, though since he sailed under the Spanish flag he was referred to as Cristobal Colon.
I've never understood calling him "Christopher Columbus" though. We don't refer to Juan Cabeza de Vaca as "John Cow Head "
Section 8, food stamps, Medicaid, free lunch, goodwill, etc...
Yes, you are correct. I belong to a christian organization that bears his name. I am a left leaning democrat, they are a right leaning conservative organization but they do great, great work. I have to hand out food with them next week in central EP.
With that being said, Columbus was an absolute barbarian. He was so cruel to the natives that even the traveling clergy were stunned by his actions, and they were used to seeing inhuman acts and the Spaniards kept good records of their actions, so it's fact, not hyperbole for back then or now. This is of huge, huge debate within our organization but they fall on historical text of the founder and what was going on in the late 19th century. An graduate history or philosophy student could tear it apart in a two page thesis and that's including the bibliography section.
Exactly! This is why I love when Judge Judy calls out people who says that money is "their money". She says it is her and Bird's money and everybody else that pays taxes.
