So academic "success" should be predicated on who has the parents who can apply the most pressure to a school to give their kids fake good grades?
I mean, I'm not surprised that you'd be OK with that because it would work out well for you personally. But it's obviously no good for society.
Tons of parents?
Just if the principled stance is "you're bad because you're gay"
What does "deserved" mean when kids get in on non-academic qualifications like sports ability all the time? If a kid gets into a good college for throwing a ball well, I see nothing wrong with another kid getting in because his parents were persuasive.
@chanus
no it's good! i need to be given a hard time sometimes
though i do feel yesterday was a rare legitimate excuse
(but don't ever take my word for it >.>)
-_-
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb

Not should. I think the current system sucks. But you have to work with what you have. Under the current system, your kid having high grades is the most important thing. That is really unfortunate. But it kind of is what it is.
@chanus
Fixed for accuracy.
rip thigh gap dreams
Hakkes. Darling. There's...there's nothing to get! Do you see now?
Yeah g/f used to get the "you owe me your life" routine a lot.
Like, g/f should be lavishing her mother with gifts and shit.
A few christmases ago she got sick of hearing it and said something like, "I'm not going to apologize for being a child or being born, those were your decisions. If I was a terrible child, that's on you, you raised me. I don't want to hear about it again and I don't want to hear how my brother and sister both apologized for it."
I'm paraphrasing a 40 minute lash out fest on christmas though.
Were you just gonna not eat lunch?
That strikes me as counterproductive
*yoink*
A wound heals, scars make you unique. Mental wounds never really heal and it's hard to see the damage, and people tend to keep picking at them and eventually the person blows up because everyone has a breaking point.
on a scale of 1 to thigh gap where are back dimples rated?
Should dim children of smart parents get into good schools on the academic achievements of their parents?
Wealth? Social status?
At least an athletic accomplishment belongs to the student. What you're talking about just amounts to "Well since I'm a lawyer I can probably brow beat my kid into Harvard even if he has downs syndrome."
It's pathetic.
Wine fridge!
This is tremendously uncharitable and honestly kind of pisses me off. Come on, man. He is clearly and unambiguously stating that it's bullshit, it's not how it should be, but because that's the way it is he will do what he can for his kid. Don't be the person who drags down discourse.
'you owe me your life' is kinda funny
cause like, as a kid, fuck you, you owe me for bringing me into this miserable world
Like, I'm probably going to have kids but I kinda feel bad about it. The future of society in the next 100 years seems like a serious gamble.

are you planning to diet your way into being a petite girl?
They are basically the same thing.
I was gonna eat "lunch". The salad with low cal dressing that I brought from home. Instead I went and got human food.
but you're a gorilla.
trix aren't for gorillas trix are for kids!
actually no this is my life

on the times when i have the moral high ground and a good excuse i will just endure

Ah
Yeah it's ok to be a rabbit person, I just thought you were fasting
(I am basically eating nonstop while studying because it dulls the pain)
the last two high profile shootings (charleston and the virginia one) have both been too close for comfort. in both cases I was one degree of separation from someone involved. in the charleston shooting, the guy went to my high school and palled around with my younger brother (plus, the person who called the police for his first trespassing charge was my sister in law)
in the virginia shooting, one of the victims was my buddy's sibling. My buddy's been posting "remembrance" photos all week and it is just heart wrenching
I've said many times the system is a bad one. I wish it was different. But I cannot blame a parent for doing what is best for their child under the system as it exists.
@chanus
However my three sisters and mother all have varying degrees of fireyness, and when two or more are in proximity for a lengthly period there is a chance a tiff will emerge.
It doesn't last long, especially when the one not involved in the tiff is able to root out the inciting point, but it's interesting. Illness aside, I can't recall arguing with my brothers or father past the age of 15.
WITNESS.
It's baffling as fuck, but that boomer entitlement can get out of control if your husband pays for everything about your life.
Dammit.
