No, I'm tired of all the crap that goes on with scholarships. This screwup gets a 22000 dollar scholarship, and I get nothing? I bust my balls and what do I get? I fvckin 500 dollar talent grant...whoopie. Hardwork means nothing anymore, and that is complete crap. I'm not poor, but I'm not rich either, and neither are my parents. I'm paying for school through loans...I apply to many many scholarships and grants and crap like that every year, and every year I'm turned down, yet some gang banging wannbe thug gets 22000 dollars? You see NOTHING wrong with that? Fvckin A, he had his chance, and he blew it.


the "screwup" might be 10x as smart as you. you have no basis to draw those conclusions IMHO. agreed, he's an idiot in his decision making.

So that means so long as you are smart you can get away with things with little to no punishment? That's complete ass. Genius or not, he not only screwed up, he screwed up bad (although it isn't murder or rape). Bad enough to land him in jail.

I have no problem with people that are smarter/better than me winning things that I apply for or whatever...fine, they deserve it. Maybe next time...I also think its ass for someone who does something bad enough as the charges he has done to keep his "winnings" and not have to start over.

I really don't remember any complaining about my punishment for doing what I've done. But I don't deserve the $22 grand any more than the next guy, as long as the next guy deserves it as well. The grants are based on my academic and extra curricular activities, and my choises as classes and whether or not I would be living on campus. Not what I've chosen to do on my spare time.

Be it you think my choises are lame, at least I can look back on my childhood and say I had a blast, what about yourself?

Whoa, that's deep... you get that from the "100 Best Comebacks" book?

Seriously, you could have come up with something much wittier have you given yourself any time.

WhoYoDaddy is right though, I only live once, I'll never be 18, 17, or 16 again. And while I'm still in my youthful college-going ages, I'm going to use them and make sure I can drain the life from what this planet has given me. If I mess up along the way or make some bad choices, that's what I have done and I will receive what's coming to me given time.

Everyone makes mistakes, much like learning how to work on your car. Everything you do, you make mistakes. You start to rebuild your engine but forget to install the piston rings. You notice blow-by from the dip-stick holster out the wazoo. You just learned the hard way that you have to remember to install the piston rings. Perhaps you tighten the heads down with a normal wrench, and some miles on the odometer pass and in a short time you may end up having a blown head because of it. You just learned the hard way that you need the torque wrench and make sure the bolts are fastened at their correct weights.

And besides, many people look at College as the time where the real fun begins anyhow ;)

Other guys say "Give the kid a break, we all did stupid stuff"

Other guys say "Yeah, when we were younger! 'They' should take his scholarship and give it to someone deserving, like Me"

Heh, I dont remember and I'm too lazy to check if I wrote it, but I was able to shower all by myself. I requested it that way. I brought my old spice soap kept in a old spice soap shaped container, pert-plus shampoo, and some face wash...which they wouldn't let me have because of the spring inside of the face wash container...and my good razor...I think I already discusses this... I really need to get to bed, it's 5:00 in the morning and I haven't slept since wednesday....Just excited to be out's'all...

criminals don't really need a bed at all, what is wrong with the floor?

-

they are criminals, you think they can discuss astrophysics?

guess you better tattoo a dictionary on your forearm in case this happens again

try not to get arrested next time

gotta love the short sighted:p when people are not given life sentences they get out and you might run into them. rather they read and better themselves then become psychos.

Brian : "Uh, how was your shower?"
Peter : "Oh, I tell ya Brian, all the rumors about dropping the soap are true."
Brian : "Really?"
Peter : "Oh yeah, you can?t hold onto that thing to save your life. Oh, it was slipping all over the place. Guys were laughing."

Two inmates walk by.

First inmate : "Hey, there?s the guy who couldn?t hold onto the soap."
Second inmate : "Oh, that was classic."

So you're involved with gangs and doing plenty of illegal stuff, yet you go to college for free.

You know you're a bastard, right?

I know this is sort of beside the point, but, couldn't they have poured the f'ing face wash into a styrofoam cup and just toss the bottle out?

Also, I work at welfare, you would be surprised how many of my clients have bachelors and masters degrees, and they end up on public assistance because they can't pass a background check... you're young, people make mistakes, but you have to consider your future when you're out doing your thing. Your friends won't be there to pay your bills later in life, you know?

I doubt his "gang activities" were gangs in the SouthCentral sense. Most states consider any illegal activity involving 3 or more people to be automatically gang related. :roll:

Sounds like the OP was just being a typical 19 year old. Big deal. 'Sides, it's his life to screw up if he so wishes.

I've spent some time in jail, once in high school for ditching school and littering and the cops couldn't get hold of my mom (before there were cell phones), once in Mexico for climbing the fence at Border Park from the wrong side, and once for a month for unpaid traffic tickets :)Q). Jail (not prison) is ok as long as you can keep from attracting attention. The last time I got into 1 fight and left alone after that. Which was fine by me.

Strange thing, though, is that I crapped exactly once in that month! Seeing that row of toilets with a row of criminals sitting six inches from where you'd be sitting was enough to tie my intestines in a knot. :disgust:
