Ok, where are you getting these $ figures from? I don't know anybody who has a parent that makes 150K a year, and that is luxury.

Basic comfortable living rates. Just plucked them outta my head, and I saw this thing on Yahoo about jobs that dont take college degrees that have highest pays in $100K area.

Yeah, I was gonna say. They kinda were unrealistic. I mean, both my parents are teachers, with college degrees, and we always have made way less than 100k anual.

No offense, but it's kinda realistic that teachers don't make a lot of money. Professors, maybe. And anyways I was just tryin to make my point. Yours can be different. I won't kill you for it, thats Heartless' job. xD

Hey, Lets not be mean. That can go in a new topic. Why we dislike people.  
PostPosted: Wed Jan 21, 2009 5:56 pm
I pretty much only dislike people who have been mean to me or my friends.

So make a topic about them and what they've done if you want. It's gonna be made eventually anyway.

Nah. Why is it that we are the only ones that actually do this?

O.o wow. There is nothing in Hamlin, I'll give you that point. and in case you haven't noticed, theres way too much drama and other crap that goes around public schools. Add to the fact that all the cirriculum is based on the majority, like grant halupco who will only get anywhere based on bribes, rather than the minority of genuinely intelligent people. Sure, theres a few AP and college courses, but nothing really that good. Theres the generic courses, and then the advanced courses of basically the same thing. The stuff you learn in an advanced class is generally the same, maybe a little more. You just learn it mostly on your own and at a breakneck pace. our language choices suck too, as do most of our gym choices and field trips. Kids like McClosky basically do nothing all year. He audits most of his classes cause he's never there, and hes usually a few units ahead of the students that have been in class everyday and actually get the stuff. he needs to be shipped off to college, not be forced to stay in a public high school that severely limits him. For petes sake, the kid writes programming for PSP software in his free time. see what I mean? Mango Street was right. Public schools pretty much for people who'll get nowhere in life. There may be a few who make it, but the majority just end up doing grunt work, flipping burgers, being assistants and doing low salary work. Show me a class of high school graduates from at the most 20 years ago from California or New York where over 85% of the class went on to college and went past that to do $350 grand or higher paying salary jobs. Do that sucessfully and I will change my point of view.


OH HELL NO YOU DID NOT JUST DISS MY TOWN...OH HELLZ TA DA NO, first there is a library, there's kronies and marks pizza, THERE IS THE BEACH, and tell me how the HELL do you FORGET THE BEACH there are a LOT of programs especially for young adults And a lot more...OH AND THX FOR YOUR ******** MORAL SUPPORT, now please tell me whether or not I could make it in the music business?

Hey! My town too you know. I was just comparing to Brockport. Don't get me wrong, I love Hamlin for it's peacefulness, but you have to admit there is a lot more of just stuff in Brockport.

Yeah it may have more stuff in general but it's pretty boring when walmart is the only place to really hangout  
PostPosted: Thu Jan 22, 2009 4:30 pm
What?! There is the entire main street, and from there it is only a short walk to other places and then there's the area near the bowling alley, and when you think about it, where besides the beach can Hamlanders* hang out. *My term, you my use it but don't claim it*

I don't plan on it... there are a lot of places to hang out there like tops lol don't ask , or the library... your house, sarahs, mine, brandons, kk roam the streets, woods, and more  
PostPosted: Sat Jan 24, 2009 5:44 pm
yeah, but for doing stuff, Brockport kinda does beat hamlin. Don't get me wrong, I love hamlin and probably would not move even it I was offered. Unless it was to a bigger house near my old one.

And I quote "rather than the minority of genuinely intelligent people." You do realise I didn't just mean like math and science smarts, right? You're very musically intelligent, among other things.
