    I’ll admit I’ve called ‘SC alums up who I do not know and introduce my myself as a Trojan grad and it’s helped me out.

    Of course going to a top school is no guarantee of future success nor does not going to a top school mean you can’t be successful. But all things being equal there’s a reason people pay what they do to go to these top schools.
    I'm sure that's true. But that should provide incentive to work hard instead of asking for points added to your scores so you can enjoy those benefits.

    I was just speaking about the schools in general, not specifically this new bonus points proposal. Still trying to wrap my head around the idea.

    Neggers are parsites.

    Ape lives matter. Stop putting them in zoos. Boycott businesses that don't hire apes.

    Then answered all the Jews, and said, Jesus' blood be on us, and on our children. So be it.
    Jews want to turn America into an atheistic, amoral, socialist farmyard.
