The resources are there, its called the Public library and for profit book stores like B&N. I went to a public school just like most kids. Catholic schools in the Bronx aren;t very different. In fact, I think many Catholic schools are closing down due to budget shortfalls. Let;s stop blaming the system and start blaming the individuals. IF you put in effort and hard work, you can gain admission.

All of this "free white man" stuff was to keep the economy rolling. Tax breaks? where are mine, I am just under 100 K, with no children? Where are my tax breaks? If I had 3 kids I would be get an 8 Grand Check instead of the 1 grand I get... that 7 grand is enough to support if im still with "baby momma" so, does a father really have any financial responsibility to his children, or is it the Mitt Romneys (who foot the bill for over 2/3rds of the federal budget)?

Nonsense. In post #23, you claimed to have graduated from an elite HS. A poorly written comment makes readers not care about your assertions.

Well, unless the point is, that you are semi-literate.

I'm not pretending anything. If you want to be taken seriously, write seriously. To make sense, write sensibly. A poorly written comment is indicative of ignorance.

The point is to write well.
Next, will you accuse me of being racist? Acting all "white", with proper grammar and spelling?

Trust me, I don't have any problems writing a sentence. My point was quite clear unless you lack the capacity to understand what was written. Sure there were a few spelling/grammatical mistakes, but like I pointed out this is not a professional environment. For you to think a poorly written statement is indicative of ignorance is fine by me. However, you forget that once your post on this forum you have a very limited amount of time to edit any errors. You may not take my statement seriously, but there are many others who would.

Just revealed here what a racist you are. In your head all blacks are "ghetto" and justify those behaviors, so every thing out of our fingers must suggest that.

The point is that this is not a job related presentation and so if one has a typo or two, so what. So why the drama about you being white? Are all the whites who post on forums scrupulous about their spelling and grammar and detailed enough to check for typos?

No. So why your rant?

And your impliaction that most blacks accept bad grammar in work related environments is an insult and again reveals how racist you are. You need to come out of your KKK cave and get to know more of us. OR you really need to move to Montana where our presence will not assault your sensibilities.

Liberals don't believe in personal responsibility. We need big government to step in And make everything equal. Because...ya know...everything is everyone elses fault.

I would prefer that everyone posting here, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, sexual preference or income level, take the time to compose lucidly & edit appropriately.

Ordinarily unimportant, but when a post alleges graduation from one of NYC's elite high schools, it should be internally consistent with proficiency in grammar, spelling & composition.

Not drama, just the cross I have to bear, on this forum.

I made no such "impliaction". Have I suggested, that you are part of the BPP or the NOI? Or stated that you, or anyone else here, is racist, for your own attitudes, prejudices and misconceptions?

Toe-kissing is overrated. Screaming is inappropriate. Say "massa" in a normal tone.
Unless you're an orgasmic female!
