why wouldnt he just type that on a blog or somethign like a normal person

way more effort to write it by hand, take a picture, upload it

for a guy with sooooo much work to do all by himself, he sure didnt do this bit efficiently.

prove that it's your friend, and I'll send you five bucks. I've seen this all over the internet, chances are it isn't "your friend"

Your friend is in fact a member of the 99%. Also, I've seen this before, so I doubt it's your friend.

Fuck the 99%

tell "your friend" that OWS is not about people talking about their personal situations, it's about the shady shit that goes on in the highest level of government and the private sector

I don't get it, if you worked 30 hours/week the entire year, no less, you would still not have enough to cover tuition, books, housing, food.

someone claiming they can do this and graduate debt free is either a liar, took time off from school to work, used social assistance programs, or is getting money from an outside source such as their parents.

read it. it said he got scholarships that cover 90% of his tuition.

take washington for example. the average cost including all expenses for the UW is roughly 24,000. with his scholarships, he would be paying 2400 a year. working 30 hours a week at minimum wage would be $256 a week. he could easily cover the remaining tuition with that.

i know its not the same everywhere, but seattle is one of the more expensive places to live and it would be possible here with his situation, so he could do it a lot of other places too

didn't read scholarship part. because everybody easily can get scholarships to cover 90% of tuition.

the majority of university people, with no scholarships, would be down 8 grand a year just on tuition at that university.

I think his end point was to say that even though he is statistically the "99%", he doesn't associate with them

LOL this thread was made by some retarded kid who was bragging about how his dad wanted to drop 10 mill on a house no sweat.

And Gnartron is definitely having an off day.

Your "friend" is in fact the 99%. It's just that he is fine with being the 1% and is trying to distance himself from the protesters because he thinks he's better than them.

For one, I doubt it was "his friend"

Second of all, it seems like 99% of the "99%" out there bitching are, indeed, looking for hand outs.
