Side note: All of the Japanese-Americans were imprisoned in US concentration camps 76 years ago... you don't hear us ******** about the poor treatment or tilted work environment. My grandparents (when my grandfather got back from Germany/Italy in the 442nd) and parents worked their ***** off to provide good lives for my generation (I was born in 1963). I grew up lower-middle class in a 900 sq ft. house, paid my way through college by working part-time on-campus jobs, and now have a great family with two successful kids with degrees and good jobs.
Now I'm a reasonably successful professional with time to post on stupid fake sports websites.
LOL, I also just realized that I deleted my main point from my last diatribe.
Nobody GAVE me anything. I didn't expect any handouts. I operated on the assumption that nobody was going to help me, and that if I wanted to succeed at anything, it was up to ME. It had less to do with my parents (my dad was basically a delinquent growing up), and more to do with what I expected of myself.
Yeah, if your parents don't give a **** about you or your education, that's a tough break.
DEAL WITH IT. If you want a better life, make it for yourself. Or don't. Just don't complain that you deserve something or that you were cheated.
