Thats a nice blanket statement. I'm in highschool and I don't speed, does that make me the only one ?

"Since most blacks and puerto ricans steal, I seriously doubt they have any integrity. "

Using that logic, that statement would be true also.
I'd stand by that statement I made on this particular stretch of residential road and in my neighborhood, yes.

And, no it doesn't make you the only one. I know a lot of really great teens who pay pretty good attention. As you well know, it only takes one major asshat being a jerk to stand out among a dozen reasonable teenage citizens.

someone else mentioned speed bumps. The messed up thing about the particular area I'm discussing is that it's a city/county border. That means no one in LE wants to take responsibility on it. I've seen one cop issueing tickets in the last 15 years. I just might give them a call, that was a long time ago. And speed bumps? We can't even get them to keep up on potholes in this town...
One trick I've learned is to use the local media. Even if they do not want the story - just tell the police/mayor/council person that you contacted them... you'll get a response.

Actually stating that "MOST Blacks and Puerto Ricans steal" is unfounded and racist - so you're just an ignorant jackass.

Just as stating "most of the drivers were teenage and not paying attention" is mildly unfounded and steriotypical. I was making an example here, try and dig up some intelligence inside yourself to work with the example I was attempting to give, instead of resorting to childish insult.

I'm not trying start a flame war, I just find it terribly interesting that someone older than me and presumably more mature calls me "jackass" after clearly not looking into the idea behind the example I was giving :clue: .

So yah, this like makes my head hurt cuz it makes no sense and stuff. So like every teenager pays attention cuz you do? And like there's all these statistics and stuff that say teenagers get in more accidents, but like that's just wack, cuz I pay attention and stuff. And everyone gets in wrecks and stuff, so like nobody can tell me how to drive and stuff, cuz old people drive crazy so it's like no one can complain, but whatever, word.

If you have an opinion that you would like to share, please use your big kid words and convay it. Otherwise it makes no sense.
big kid words? are you seroius? im not some stupid-ass 15 year old. and obviously I'm alot more mature than you. Here's a tip for the future, don't stoop down to "our" level by making fun of someone (possibly) younger than you. it just makes you look like a douche.

Awesome. Driving on ritalin that must be a trip.
haha ya.

C'mon, by now you should know that kids do not feel the need to communicate with anything but text message speak.

"iz da interwebs dood, no need 2 spul praperlie. chill"
I hate IM and text messaging more and more every freaking day.......

I just did a student job hire on a college campus where I work, and my god you'd laugh at some of the crap spelling and grammer people put on their applications.

I know not everyone's spelling is perfect all the time, but you'd think they'd at least try on a job app or resume.

Lack of basic spelling skills=straight to the round file.

Judging by the last few posts, you are a stupid-ass 18 year old with a poor grasp of the english language. Oh what a difference those 3 years didn't make!

so, now all teenagers can't spell? ill bet this thread makes you feel a whole lot better about your life.

and what the **** is an interweb? are you guys retarted? and i guess the saying "As you well know, it only takes one major asshat being a jerk to stand out among a dozen reasonable teenage citizens." can be used for older people. in this case its taking two.

I worked as a TA. I laughed my way to tears on numerous occasions reading what was supposed to be a persuasive paper.

They persuaded their way to D in many cases. I mean, by the time you are 10 credits short of graduating with a BA, you should know how to spell and construct a simple sentence.

You would think that, at the very least, you would have at made an effort to make sense in this post. You should re-read your last few posts, and then come back and disagree with us when we point out that they make no sense.


edit: It isn't about spelling in many cases. Making a post that makes sense, with spelling errors, would be more than satisfactory. Typos happen.

It isn't hard to take 2 mins and make sure what you are putting down on paper (so to speak,) is comprehensible and not simply a bunch of sentence fragments strewn together.

I'd also like you to point out, with a quote if at all possible, where I said all 18 year olds couldn't spell.

how bout your re-read my last posts and shove 'em? (I purposely said that so I wouldn't go over the top) I actually don't give a sh!t about what you old people have to say. You used to be 18 too. I don't need another ignorant douche telling me what to do. Again, go make fun of people your own age. It's seroiusly beginning to piss me off, that you're here wasting your time with some dumb-ass teenager who can't spell, drive, or make sense. Why are you wasting your time? Go waste it on porn or something, or better yet, go ****ing ride, after all, that's what this site is for.:disgust1: :plthumbsdown:

The scary part, is that I could read that. In fact, it looked like some of the term papers I have graded. :disgust: Rage against the establishment. Spelling is the man's way of keeping me down!

Ah yes, ADHD and dyslexia. The "new" issues that affect 90% of America's youth. Also known as, "whiny, lazy kids with overprotective parents".
hahaha. thats actually not true at all with me. first of all, its not new, i was medically diagnosed 4 years ago. my parents are overprotective, you're right, but i'm not whiny or lazy. and i told my parents i might have attentional problems freshmen year. thats the only thing i agree with you on, that everybody "has" add. but that is absoultely not the case with me, i actually have it. and if you think im faking it, you're all wrong, and you're tellin this to the wrong person.

Hey....I resent that remark. Only I don't take medication for it. I enjoy writing stuff down backwards and combining words and ****. and I don't think ADHD really exists though.

Whatever. I get to ride the short bus to skool

Dyslexia does indeed exist, only it is in about 1% of the people diagnosed with it.

I'm with you on add, adhd etc however. It's called, kids being kids and parents who would rather medicate them than parent.

i resent the remark too.
i dont have add, nor dyslexia... but i do take psychotropics.

talking about maturity and stuff, but you guys are kinda cheapening out all mental illnesses with broad generalizations.
