What makes you think my father didn't pull himself out of poverty and overcome addiction? All without a college education too. He went from working a production line in a factory, where he literally watched a light bulb light up while testing circuit boards, fresh out of rehab in the 80s, to being the President of a company (it was bought out by an old company he used to work for after he was hired), and later Vice President of a company based in China. He left that position after a year for many reasons; not the least of which was corruption and a poor business culture (this is China after all.....). He's now a Senior Sales Manager with a company based in France, working with some sort of sophisticated industrial camera/lens equipment for computer software or something. Which is different technology than the Test Fixtures he was working with before. He owns 3 houses and 6 cars. He'll retire in about 4 years as a millionaire. Not bad huh? I'm very proud of him.
Oh get over yourself, Chris. I mocked your condescending tone and labeling of anyone who didn't vote Democrat as being a bunch of uneducated cavemen. You've done it constantly on this forum. Get over it. Or I can REALLY show you what an insult is...
elitist! So after you gave her a 20 she gave you back 9 saying....it's ok honey....I thought it would take at least 5 minutes
I have not been condescending. I have noted the fact, that the majority of people who voted for Trump are in fact uneducated people, who have unfortunately been duped. They believe Trump will make life better for their families, bring back jobs and stabilize the economy. It appears that he will do the opposite and destroy what little these families have left. I mocked no one, I have insinuated that these people are cavemen. Do not put words in my mouth. I hope I am wrong. I hope that Trump proves me wrong. I dont see that happening. One of us will eat crow, and in this case, I would be glad to do so. I have been a voice here in these forums because I care about this country. I am not the arrogant person you make me out to be. I am passionate about what I believe, and despite our differences there, I respect your beliefs too. I will continue to argue as will you. That is part of what makes this country great.
It appears he will destroy what they have left? If you're going to make baseless accusations you should either back that up or get a job at CNN.
Your arrogance comes from your ASSUMPTION that they are uneducated. Which also falls to the fact that many Democrats think they know what's best for the people because they think of themselves as more "educated". I get what you mean by "uneducated". That means "someone who didn't go to college". I get that. But labeling people with such terms is one of the many reasons people voted for Trump in the first place. That kind of labeling brings an attitude with it that is elitist and arrogant. I dropped out of community college twice. No excuses; I hold myself accountable for that, no one else. But I am NOT uneducated about what is wrong with this country. And the arrogance of assuming that I am is the reason Trump was elected in the first place. I appreciate your respect, and you have mine as well. I've always admired people for their accomplishments in life, and you certainly have my respect for that. But just because a person either didn't go to college, or didn't complete it, does NOT mean that they are uneducated about what's best for themselves, what their problems are, or what is wrong with this country. If you took my mocking as an insult, then you have my apologies for that.
Yeah, I have WAY more respect for @Chris Craig than I do Rasta. Rasta is fucking OBSESSED with Trump. I mean, Jesus....as if a fucking thread about him every 3 seconds wasn't enough. You should see the response I left him after that insult a couple pages back, lol.
Sigh..... So much arrogance in this post. Exactly. This idea that people who didn't go to college are "uneducated" is nonsense. Plenty of people have self taught, home schooled, learned through other avenues and have become successful in life, owning businesses, etc. College does not mean people are all of the sudden "educated". Education is all subjective and if they were going to compare anything you would have to do an IQ test for every single voter to compare/contrast. Me? College educated male, personally (not combined with my wife) making over 125K a year from hard-fucking-work, impeccable work ethic, and responsibility. I voted for Trump. Because I am not brainwashed by MSM any longer. 'nuff of that shit, did that for far too long.
