Too White

[DolfanBob]

I'm sorry guy's but I love this girl. She is spot on with what is wrong with the Politically correct society that we have to live in and endure.

She just made getting scholarships and accepted to college much harder for herself with her bitter, impulsive little essay. Cute? Maybe. Appropriate? No.

Her essay makes her sound like a whiny, spoiled brat, although I don't think she is. Perfect colleges look for perfect students, simply put. She may have perfect grades, but that is only a part of being accepted into an Ivy League school. If she has nothing to show outside of schoolwork, they won't accept her.

Sometimes you have to do a few things that look good on paper. If she actually volunteered as much as she claims, she should have included that.

I think there's more to her story. If she was really as perfect as she claims to be, she would have been accepted.

Harvard discriminated against me because of my grades!

I turned Harvard down because their football team sucked.

Where do you/did you go to college?

So she would have to be perfect, just like W. Bush and Obama.

People forget the Shrub went to Harvard and Yale. Funny when people criticize his intelligence forget that he is most likely better educated than they.

So between two silver-spooned educational opportunities, why did he never learn to pronounce "nuclear?"

[Hoss]

Enough said.

Bush went to Phillips Andover. His grandfather was a sitting US Senator. His father, grandfather and great grandfather all went to Yale and were Skull and Bones.

By the time he went to Harvard his father had also been in congress, had been the ambassador to the UN and was chair of the Republican Party.

His father and grandfather were very impressive men. Going to Yale and Harvard was not  a personal accomplishment.

Getting in may not have been.  Staying in and graduating maybe more so.

I believe I remember seeing that he had a slightly better GPA than Kerry.

Not that important.  Kind of like grammar and spelling on this forum.

Spoken like a true Okie.  You have to keep what's important first.

You really believe he had to "lift a finger??"  Or was ABLE to "lift a finger"??

Possible answers;

No - ok, then, my faith in you is restored!

Yes - ok, then, I have some wonderful beachfront property in eastern Arizona that is ideal for someone in your position in life!  At wonderful prices!!

Would not have been so hard for him if he hadn't been half drunk (or more) so much of the time....
