It has nothing to do with OWS except in the minds of the delusional, the bitter, the grumpy, etc.

"Damn kids! Get off my lawn!"

This reminds me of a line from my favorite Pixar movie, The Incredibles. When everyone is special, no one is special (paraphrase).

I love the line "where a B is the new C". Ain't that the truth.

I call bs on your comments.
Most wanted what?
Got any stats on this. Or is it pulled out of their butt opinions?

I certainly hope that no person who is not part of OWS ever whines about not having a job because by your links, you should be tellign them to "get your ass out of bed and get to work".

Okay, how many parents sued the guy?

Funny. My daughter, age 19, told me the same thing the other day...she said, "When you graduate from High School, you think you are all that...and you have accomplished a lot"...and then you realilze high school was just a daycare.". She now realizes she is not "special"...I think it is this job she has now...as a prep cook...however, it has motivated her to continue college...

Umm, there is no such thing as 1000%, 100% is the max.

Thanks for proving the teachers point.

Sounds like he took a page out of Tyler Durden's book.

Nothing.... the title says "graduating class"...... not "failed class"

Many, if not most of the OWS have gone to college. If you took the time to enroll in college, even community college, you would realize that one needs to complete High school (equivalency) in order to attend
