Whatever Pine.I'm not amused anymore about the rubbish posts on this site.

This place has turned into a circus with people "speaking their minds".Posts get modded when it feels like being modded.It's a joke.

I didn't agree to be insulted and made fun of,and that goes for everyone.I can take a joke as much as the next guy,but as you've seen and yourself done,it went way past joking.

I don't see anyone going on Gumtree and insulting a person about the price of his car and telling him how ugly or stuffed up his car is.But here it's the norm.If you guys did what you were supposed to do,^this^ post would not have been necessary.But I supose that is the respect that we have for each other.And over the last couple of months I've seen it happening more and more.Nothing is done about it.

Hi all I think enough has been said about this subject!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have many atime tried to sell a car to be told in my face that it is worthless yet to see a price on the windshield that made my eyes water a few days after. That is a fact of life. Read the following.
Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this! Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.


Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!

Rule 2 : The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try de-lousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs. ( I can add here Internet forums)

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
If all of us just live according to this things might be easier.
Regards
Armand

It's not our fault......

It's affirmative action.......
It's the economy...

Brilliant post Armand, unfortunately those that most need to listen will be too busy getting huffy or making their excuses to actually hear
