Did Delias actually say he had an important job or takes important classes? I thought Bob said that in an attempt to demean Delias.

Also, full time means full time. It means you're taking at least the minimum number of credits that designates you as a full time student as opposed to part time. The difficulty of those classes are pretty unrelated and had no bearing upon what Delias was saying. He simply said he was full time at both.

I don't get how it's a positive example of anything.. and I really don't get what my political beliefs have to do with anything here.

P.S. - PB, I just neg repped you. So if you get a neg rep calling you insane or an idiot that was probably mine.

Oh no. I'm so hurt. You really know how to get under my skin. Really, how could you be so cruel?

Really, really hurt. So bad.

Really.

You calling anyone out for a lack of class is hilarious.

I don't think Delias ever said he had an important job or was taking important classes, he just said he was working full time and going to school full time and Bob said neither one can be important because he is doing both.

(GB301 at Bentley was a nightmare before it got nerfed in 2008)

So what you're saying is only some classes were/are important? And they were only important because you were seeking 'maximum success'.

We've now progressed from 'important' to 'maximum success'.

All this needs is fucking Rojo to pop in with her perspective on jobs and life to make this complete.

Do you really think that the way you're talking to him is at all classy? I mean come on. He's the main caregiver for an autistic... 5(?) year old and a good parent at that, working a full time job and taking a full class load. And you're going to try to tear him down and demean him for going to a community college? That's shit. You're acting like shit.

What's not to get? This guy is a republican campaign poster. You should champion him as an example of the "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" and don't just sit on welfare American Dream type of story. Instead you've chosen to say that he's not successful because you don't think he's taking hard enough courses or his work isn't meaningful enough.

Don't hate on him. Promote him. The country will be better off with more people who follow his example.
