Most youths are in the 13-14 yr old range when they are in the ninth grade. I will that a smart 4th grader could pass the GED test, but your math seems a little fucked up. Just how old were you when you finished the 8th grade?
I know you wear your 8th grade education like a badge of honor, but your chronology has a certain Goresque hint to it.
It's been appx 7 hours since a new thread was started singing the [many?] praises of Gov Sarah Palin.
Whew! What a ride that was! Thank the gods in which I refuse to believe for short atention spans!

After two edits and you spell as bad as me, I think you might be losing something also..My excuse is I only made it through eighth grade ..Whats Yours?? The polls messing with yur mind?? Don't worry they won't mean anything until November 5th
no, sad to say I think my vision is failing me at an alarming rate. And I have indeed noticed an alarming number of typos per post in the last few weeks. Good thing I like dogs.
I never take the polls too seriously, but I'm always amused by those who do. I worked in that industry for over 12 years, and lemme tell you, it lacks credibility from top to bottom.
quad, stop talking about your 8th grade education and go get a GED. or is your lack of education your cachet in life? [LOL]
I got a GED when I was supposed to be in ninth grade..That didn't get me ten more cents in the farm and barn cleaning business. If I had known the GED was so dumbed down I would have quit school in 4th grade..

I was 12 when I finished 8th grade but turned 13 not long after.. I was always the youngest kid in class every year in school..but we did have some 15 and 16 year olds in my eighth grade class.. I used to feel so sorry for them when the teacher made them {as they made everyone} read in front of the class..I often wonder what happened to those kids..I always check the wanted posters looking for them..
And no, its not a badge of honor to only have a actual eight grade diploma, but I am proud that I made it on my own with a lot of very hard work and even more luck.
Just curious ...What is fucked up about my math?
Your statement,
"I got a GED when I was supposed to be in ninth grade"
Doesn't seem to jive with any other set of circumstances than you being a 16 yr old ninth grader.
"I got a GED when I was supposed to be in ninth grade.."
I left out that I didn't take the GED as "soon" as I quit school. I apologize for the confusion. You are correct as I didn't get my GED until I had been working a couple years and I had my drivers license..
To be specific I did start the ninth grade but I got kicked out for non compliance with the given commands ..I don't usually mention my ninth grade experience as it didn't last long.. I do not possess the personality type to go along willingly, hazed by punks, just because they were seniors that had extreme inferiority complexes..
I should write a book about the crap the wimpy dudes put up with, in that Religious Hell hole..
Four times by the time I hit 17.
Then I turned 18, learned how to drink and get stoned irresponsibly, and completed my undergrad work in 2 years... or was it 7, I don't remember it was such a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away.

nah, they're only for the cognescenti [spelling?], and admittedly they are an acquired taste. Work hard RWU and you too can appreciate them one day [LOL].
7+ hours and no new gushing post re Gov Palin. Who's going to break the dry spell?
"7+ hours and no new gushing post re Gov Palin. Who's going to break the dry spell? "
I'll see what I can come up with but have patience as I type very slow ..
not to worry quad, I'm patient, so please take your time but please try not to exceed my very high rate of typos recently.
BTW, there's no prize for breaking the spell, and i'll just start a new count. Wonder if we can make it oi, say 600AM EST Tuesday w/o a new gushing Sarah Palin post. Some of you gents sound like 13-year old adolescent girls with your first major crush.
But it's all in fun, and you are vastly entertaining.
“The bad news: As has been reported, Sarah's daughter has been pulled out of school for months now, citing a severe case of "mono."
(http://www.perezhilton.com/)
If she tells lies to the school district to protect the shame of not properly ministering to and LEADING her daughter how can we expect better of her in the ministering and possible LEADING of our nation?
Palin is a sanctimonious, hypocritical, intolerant, power abusing, liar.
McCain’s choice in her has poignantly demonstrated his poor judgment, poor temperament and INABILITY to lead
If any of ya' don't like the source I quoted;......TOUGH SHIT!
Attack “ad hominem” all you want Gambler; because YOUR opinion isn't worth a thimble full of dog piss in my book.
ROFLMAO....I could come back with scandals of sons and daughters of lefties, but that would be hypocrytical. Good parents sometimes raise kids that do the wrong thing, and Bad parents sometimes raise kids who do everything right, but most good kids become Republicans after they grow up..and inbred bad kids grow up an become like this ..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrBus8ORR78

"Attack “ad hominem” all you want Gambler; because YOUR opinion isn't worth a thimble full of dog piss in my book."
I think you just gave a textbook example of making an ad hominen attack.
A pre-emptive ad hominen attack no less, considering GaG hasn't even posted in this thread yet.
"A pre-emptive ad hominen attack no less, considering GaG hasn't even posted in this thread yet."
Couldn't you have waited to tell it that??I wanted to see how long it would argue with someone not on the same thread...
I guess I suffer from pre-mature posting.
At least its better than suffering from immature posting, like RR has.
RR seems really pissed off. Oh well I guess it's better to be pissed off than pissed on. Somehow it seems like RR got pissed on which is why he is pissed off. lol
I am beginning to think that if Quad dropped out of school a few years earlier, with let's say a fourth grade education he would have been able to speak with RR on an equal level.
Sorry Quad, it looks like you are overqualified. lol
eom
A pre-emptive ad hominen attack, I like that.
You do realize of course that your post is contradictory on many levels, not the least of which is the fact that while you claim my opinion is of no importance to you, you go out of your way to name me in a post that I had no previous involvement in.
You mentioned therapy in a previous post, are you sure this isn't just a cry for help? Have you ever asked yourself why my approval or lack thereof is so important to you? lol
I have noticed that your posts of late have a certain hostility to them, you seem like a very angry person. I always thought it was the intolerant Jesus freaks that were known for getting on their soap boxes and pontificating. You seem to be giving them a run for their money, be careful lest you become what you loathe so intensely.
“Now if I were to say that "RR02610 is an idiot and not worth responding to because if it comes from his mouth it must be untrue". Now that would be an Ad mominem attack, but I never said andything like that,and you wonder why I say you make "stupid staments"? lol”
(GaGambler)
I didn’t say your opinion is meaningless to others; I only said it is meaningless to ME!!
Did I strike a nerve? For someone who claims my opinion means nothing to them, you do seem to spend a lot of time eliciting my opinion.
Of course if it makes you feel better to claim my opinion means nothing to you, I will allow you to wallow in your own self delusion. Why would you care what a RWSA has to say anyhow?
FWIW I am glad you looked up tyhe definition of "ad hominem" and hopefully you will be able to use it properly in the future. I hate to see Three Dollar words in the hands of a two bit writer. lmao
Just another reason I let you all know I only made it through eighth grade.. You have never seen me use a word like "ad hominem" which is bound to be at least a tenth grade word..
I'm not even looking that one up as it seems to cause a lot of confusion so why use it?

ROFLMAO..My stomach hurts after that one..
