Wasn't he running the CIA at the time?

If he was, would you tell the CIA director, no? :wink:

Durandal, I have nothing against you personally. I make what I can to live and be happy. If I was in Daddy's position I would do as much a possible to help my son out, even if he was a total loser.

You wanna be the BIG MAN with the fucks and the pansies... fine. Quite frankly I hear better from 7 year olds fighting over toys. Shit I at least I wanted to listen. When I asked about an article on the Americans subsidizing the Iraqis gas, you gave it to me no problem, but when I asked for the other stuff you just threw some kind of fit. Yeah I said the other shit. I had to work my ass off doing some pretty shitty jobs to get through school, so I would take an easier path if offered, especially from family. If you had a chance to have someone pay for your schooling, wouldn't you?

If you go on a tangent at least back it up. Having a group or mob of people telling me the same thing does not make it true. It's not like I was asking for the damn Holy Grail.

I'm just gonna drop this here, not because I'm conceding, but because it's going no where. But if you want to keep talking smack your more then welcome to.

Oh yeah, it seems I had a hand in hijacking the thread, sorry about that.

The question is actually not which advantages he did get from his parents but rather what he did with his advantages.
If he managed to get good grades in highschool because his parents poored money in extra lessons for him, okay.
If he went to yale (be if for the money/influence of his parents or not) and actually managed to learn stuff, okay.
But having the oppurtunity to learn and choosing not too (which seems to be what he did) is just incomphrehensible and disgusting to me.

How does this excuse Shrubby's C averages, coke habit, drunk driving, and business failures? Oh yeah, it doesn't.

Translation: you have no answer for the points raised, so you just walk off in a huff.

When you put your tail between your legs, did you accidently stick it up your ass? It would explain the high-pitched meaningless whining.

Alright then fine, I walk way with my tail tucked between my legs (not UP it.. smart aleck) in concession. If you want to use me as your whipping boy, that's cool too.
