Quote:Where did you get your information? Mine is from living through those times, reading the (then) less biased articles in magazines and newspapers before there was ever an apparent liberal agenda to bias them...something you couldn't possibly have done because you're simply too young to have escaped the present-day bias.You're not ancient. I have family in their 90s that have stories that will flip your world upside down. You really need to stop with this "i'm older than you so I know better". It's getting a bit ridiculous and I'm having a hard time taking you seriously. And yes I did get my research from OLD works and direct quotes. Quote:our demeanor since addling off to "higher education" has become increasingly angry and hostile...as if you've been made to feel the victim of thousands of years of opression (though you haven't lived nearly that long).This is absolutely hilarious. I'm angry and hostile? And all this time I keep being told that I need to start learning to be more aggressive and taking things seriously. I have been absent from this board for weeks now. If anyone sounds bitter it's you. I'm enjoying school, and life for as long as I'm blessed with it. Quote: Don't you ever wonder why you feel the way you do? Have you ever stopped to consider the possible reasons why some folks might want to make you feel that way over time by continually feeding you a twisted image of the reality you live in? Most people, when I was your age, were at least aware enough to be asking themselves those kinds of questions. Has the ability/desire to do that died somewhere along the line?Sir... I recently lost 3 cousins, 1 uncle, and 3 aunts in Port-au-Prince with my two baby cousins and my mom's sister still missing. I've been through hell and back again since the end of December. And I've STILL managed to keep a smile on my face and peace in my mind and love on my heart as I support other Haitians who have lost. I'm a cheerful human being as I've been told countless times. Yes, I've been depressed, but I'm getting through. Don't know what you see. And I really don't know what world you live in. I've gone through my oppression and still am. Not nearly as bad as my mother and the generations before me, but the fact that you think my age has something to do with how I act and what I experience. Maybe you still have some growing up to do AS OLD as you are. No disrespect, Sir.
