No...your pessimism is so deeply enmeshed into everything you are, every thought you have, every breath you take, that you couldn't POSSIBLY only be sharing it online...and that is a fact. You're PERFECT? No, you're not...because you're lying!

I admit I'm pessimistic in real life. But I know for a fact there's some stuff I say online that I don't say in person.

My relative, however, took college for granted the first time around. These added hardships wouldn't exist if she focused more on college the first time around. Hell, she would of graduated college when I graduated high school if she stuck with it and never dropped out.

I'm giving her credit for going to college with these added hardships. But unlike other people, I think about the reason why these added hardships exist.
So there's no room in your heart for someone to have a second chance? Do you always view people in terms of the mistakes they have made when they were younger and foolish even when they have made the necessary steps to improve their lives?

Clearly she's giving herself a second chance by going back to college. And I can't get in the way of that.

As for her mistakes...people like her make me think "I don't wanna end up like that."

But this still brings me to the point I made earlier about how I should get recognition. Yeah, she's being praised because she's going to college with added hardships...I understand that part. But I should be praised for sticking with it the first time around...I don't need a second chance.

And I'm not just your run of the mill student. I'm set to graduate early. I posted earlier saying how I'm taking summer classes.

Just to remind you. Insults are against CD's TOS. If you haven't read them, you should.

Your reward is paying less money. You can use that savings to buy yourself a trophy if you would like. Pay for one semester of my schooling and I'll even assemble a committee to present it to you

Insults toward other members are against the TOS. Maybe you should read the entire conversation so you understand the context instead of just jumping in.

I wasn't talking about insults toward other members. I was talking about insults toward non-members.

^^ This is what your post said, it did not discern wether or not you were talking about non members. And I have read all your posts in this thread.:

That's why I insult other people on these threads.

When have I ever used a member's name and insulted them?

I insult people from real life that I don't like. They're not on city data and they remain anonymous.

And you say you read all my posts on this thread, so you should understand what led up to that post. I was insulting a relative. I didn't discern, but I think it was pretty obvious that I was talking about non-members.

^^ Back pedal all you want, but I think we all understood what you said and how you said it.
