    Well, you asked the question. I can see Rich Folk with less that stellar daughters going the extra mile to get their daughters in an environment of a superior gene pool. You know, why take a chance?

    You are always at your very worst. I didn't believe either one of them. That means my decision was based on facts not politics. Why such hostility over what should be a benign thread?

    Cawacko, though, is everything anyone could ever hate about a self-proclaimed "centrist" who just so happens to be in near unity with the beliefs and positions of the right-wing.

    It's a current hot topic; wealthy people buying admissions for their offspring.

    You're saying you didn't believe either of them because you'd have to actually do the work to come to a conclusion, and since you're lazy as fuck, it's easier for you to just throw your hands up and posture that you're above it all, when you're really beneath it all.

    Believing someone isn't something based in fact, it's wholly a subjective judgment. By refusing to make that selective judgment, or judging them both equally, what you're really telling the world is that you cannot be expected to make distinctions and differences, and everyone should lower their expectations of you. Which is entitlement. So fuck you, and fuck your entitlement.

    This thoughtful moderate centrism is for show; it's really laziness masquerading as centrism.

    So you try and derail the thread by having a melt down and now you are back to lying again. I've never called myself a centrist. Not once. You regularly and constantly make things up that I don't say.

    You clearly have some personal issue where you feel to need to consistently lie about me and what I believe. Maybe I should just be honored that you feel the need to go to such lengths when talking to me.

    Yeah. I expressed a thought. It's probably worth it to get their ditzy daughter into a 'success' oriented gene pool.
