Chronicles of my RW friend (Part I) [View all]

First some background.
My friend is a 24 year old spoiled kid who grew up in Irvine, CA.
with a high powered attorney for a father.

In a previous post, I mentioned a story about a person arrested
in Boston used an EBT card (Food Stamps) to post bail, he feels
that there should be tighter regulations on EBT Cards.
He also believes that the crash of Sept. 2008 was due to too
much regulations on the banking industry and that there should
be less regulations in banking.

He never attended public school, so he doesn't believe that there
should be a public schools system. He claims that private schools
are better then public schools. When I tell him that statistics show
that only 17% of private schools out score public schools, he
doesn't believe it.
Following is an ironic story which shows how good a private
education he recieved.

The other day we went to lunch in Newport Beach at a place
called INKAS. It's a Peruvian food restaurant. The menus are
in spanish, and he can't read spanish. So we told him that the
menus were written in peruvian and that the food was from
Peruvia. Talk about a fish on a hook. We just reeled him after
that. So we taught him a few more peruvian words and made
sure he knew exactly where peruvia was located.

To say the least, he was quite embarrassed when we mentioned
that the cuisine came from Peru and that they spoke spanish,
located in South America.
