Explain to me why anyone would want to hang out with you? My fiancee is a college student. I was not qualified for FASFA this year. I'll soon be informing my supervisors that I CAN work 40 hours per week, should they choose to raise the hours I already have. When and if you become qualified to attend college, you'll soon discover that it is IMPOSSIBLE to work full time while attempting to achieve a decent GPA, for most students. Unless you're Doogie Houser, I would bet that only 5% of any student in history has ever successfully maintained decent grades while devoting their time to any job. You know who I am, is that the impression of you I gather? Who's to say that I worked every job before my recent 4-month layoff at LESS than 40 hours weekly? If you've ever been to Whitehaven, a rest stop in Paducah, Kentucky sometime since September of 2008, congratulations, you've taken a dump in a toilet that I scrubbed ever so delicately for at least an hour, on night shift, at minimum wage, so that you may take a dump without flushing the john or keeping the tissue in the bowl, seeing as you are yet another disrespectful, self-entitled American, with NO respect for your fellow man. You want to keep telling us to find 40 hours per week in this recession? Why don't you move on to a more productive quest, such as finding a needle in a haystack, or a cigarette smoker who isn't destined for cancer. We may have folks who work part time, teach classes on weaving baskets, or making jewelry...but the funny thing is, seems like those people all do what they LOVE to do. And the part timers, well, that's work, isn't it? Who are you to tell me how one's American dream should be followed? What do you do for a living? I'd love to know, because I've just decided that it isn't good enough. Why don't you go off and spend your time doing something that I approve of, whether or not you feel it's your calling in life? By the way, ALL OF US deserve health insurance they can afford, and that includes you. You know, much the same way your grandparents are unquestionably using Medicare. People shouldn't have to face a credit record blown to smithereens, the loss of their homes, or even the loss of their lives, as a side affect of chemotherapy treatment. EVERY teacher who has ever lived, working from any level between K-12 and College/Graduate school has received the summer off, with the exception of their field allowing them to teach summer classes, at their own discretion. Just because you never valued the lessons you were delivered in elementary school and because you decided to ditch those lessons the first time your parents blocked every channel but FOX, doesn't mean you have any base in trashing any teacher alive OR dead as invaluable to this country. "Marxist" teachers? How do you earn a title like that? Would it have something to do with the teachings of such principles as 2+2=4? Good grief, why don't you get some fresh air. It would do you a world of good.
