youve read plato. i'm impressed. if you really want to get into the "advantage of the stronger/lamer" thing, i wouldnt suggest it. neither of you are acting as one of the "philosopher kings" in this situation... more like tyrants. the stronger would be looking out for the lamer.

as for the intelligence of your argument, regardless of how intelligent it is, someone is goin to argue with you. Arch is the last person you want to get into an argument with.

as far as scholarships go, i'm gettin a majority of my education paid for and i am a middle class white male.

good day.

Uh...read the whole thing. We're not arguing. Anymore.

Here's a once-over of my credentials:

3.6 GPA
29 ACT
1360 SAT
National Merit Society Commended Scholar
500 Community Service Hours

I could go on, but those are the salient points. I can also spout BS about my 'ethnic experiences' because of the places I've been to.

I have loans. That's it. You cannot tell me that this is fair when one of my Hispanic classmates with a 2.6 GPA (and respective test scores) got a full ride from independant scholarships.

Affirmative action is so wrong, it's not funny.

"WE NEED TO HAVE SO MANY HISPANICS GO TO OUR SCHOOL OR ELSE WE WILL BE SUED BY SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS!"

That's basically what it boils down to.

Some of the public schools in San Antonio are 98-99% hispanic.

LOL amazing how this "How old are you" thread went way off topic to become a flaming war (good one tho) and now its about wages and mexicans. LOL glad to be back from D.C. to see the forum is the same.

Lol. When I was 12 I got like...1210. Cause I got a frameshift (okay...I didn't get a frameshift, I just fucked up Reading Comprehension. A few of my friends got scores like yours though--also 12 year olds.)

I assume you're aware that the SAT is, by nature, an aptitude test that measures your ability to think, as opposed to a scholarship test that measures what you know. I also took the SAT at 12 and scored a 1310 (or so. It's been a while and I don't remember very clearly). Unless you take SAT prep classes, your score from 16/17 as opposed to 12 generally only increases 50-100 points or so.

where do you go to school?

i had
4.1 GPA
1350 SAT
honors society, merit stuff...etc

and i got like 8500 bucks for school.

Also, Affirmative action is a load of crap. jobs/spots in college/ etc. should be based on merit and qualification, not skin color or racial descent.

gamepro176 · 10-20-2003, 04:48 PM

I'm 13 and I'm popular other forums such as Toywiz Forums and other crap. My username tells all I can usually figure out most games gameplay within 1-3 hours of playing it. But i would say I'm best at the Step Maina/DDR games.

That's not bad, but I would've thought you'd have gotten more. That's a pretty impressive record.
...
Though now that I think about it, I don't have nearly as much room to complain as my oldest buddy. Now, this guy is a bloody frigging genius, OK? No two ways about it. Aside from a 4.0+ GPA and a ~1500 SAT, he was President of the Student Council 3 years running, a star drama actor, and he WON AN INTERNATIONALLY CONTESTED LATIN COMPETITION. Something like 10,000 competitors and he took it all.

Oh yeah, and he's Jewish, so he can even claim minority.

And his parents have ~5K debt, so they can claim financial need, big time.

He's going to school on loans just like I am. Because he's white.

So yeah, affirmative action is a bane to our existance.
