(6,699 posts)I was turned off by the guy's presentation as well, but if any of his facts are correct, we've been duped.
I'm a "Texas basher", and generally "the South basher" as well. I've just heard too many weird stories and had too many personal experiences in my 68 years of existence to be non-judgmental at this stage of my life.
I would give teachers the benefit of the doubt, but if they are from Texas or the South, I have a different perspective. I'm not thrilled by that realization, but this fellow brought light to it.
IF these facts are true, about his sister's history and the fact that he played ALL of his teachers; then something is damned suspicious. If this kid is a prankster at heart, then it adds more fuel to the fire.
I do know that I'm sick and tired of grifters playing on volatile emotions in this confused nation that is being sickened by the media's misinformation 24/7. I do know that I'm sick and tired of being "played" by the media and thoughtless grifters who only make me, and the whole country, dumber and more confused.
If this guy has his facts straight, then this is just one more disgraceful act we have to endure and be embarrassed by.
IF this kid really is using our confusion to attempt to rip off the school district for 15 MILLION $$$'s, than he needs to be exposed and spanked...damn hard and in the open, for everyone to see. (Don't go ape-shit; "figuratively speaking" for those that love to jump on a poster for expressing a point.)
