What's new

Can you get an alert for when someone is quoting you or your name is mentioned?

Nevermind.

I'm not getting your obsession with responding to new posts quickly, or whatever it is you're fascinated with here. What's up? What's the root of this thing this thread is about?

Not to respond to it quickly, it's more like if someone replied to your post it would be good to get a notification so that you can respond to it, is all.

Sometimes you're posting in so many threads you can lose track and forget to check.

Post less.
 
Agree. Have had plenty of ups and downs ... started with nothing (as a kid, days without eating... two tops)..... all my fondest memories are from the poor times.. making due, pretending we weren't poor.. fishing, a lot.

I recall those days, now, when my kids look bored or too much in front of the video games/computer.... they never gripe once we're out doing cool stuff, as a family..

PKM, didn't you say you were a 3rd generation UK booster? How does that reconcile with your story about being poor, etc, etc, etc?
 
Why do you think he would go days without eating? Pops would give all their food money to the basketball team.
 
Broken family. And I'll leave it at that is it's okay.

Ah.. ok. I've always thought you were born into Money.

Like, literally swimming in it...

I guess I'll have to cut you some slack next time.
 
I had a 7th grade social studies teacher who said if you took all the wealth in the world and split it up evenly within 20 years most of the poor people would be poor again and most of the rich people would be rich again. Pretty sure he was just talking out of his ***, but to some extent I bet it's true.

It's not the money. It's how you use it.

It's easy to say, "Oh the poor are just lazy".

But when you're rooted in poverty, it's just so hard to get out of it. You just don't know any better. You just don't have the opportunity to succeed. The movie "The Blindside" is actually a good example of how, if someone is given an opportunity, with the right amount of support, someone who comes from poverty can also succeed.

Fwiw, I come from tons of money on one side.. and totally broke family on the other. The total amount of help I got is zero. No money, no car, no help with loans, no education, nothing. Not even access to networking. What I have done was completely from zero... and when the wealthy side passes on it only gets better. LOL - no way I out survive anyone.

This type of reasoning makes me want to pull every hair out of my head. Why has society given up on win-win...

No **** the best of best will rise to the top, but why do these teachers have to get so ideologically black and white about it? Why is everyone so obsessed with creating a degradative atmosphere that's horrible for everyone?

I'm compulsive..
