NewResident thank you for your kind words! I truly appreciate people who take the time to understand what I’m saying and don’t nit pick at things that should be common sense! You are truly appreciated!

The numerous teaching professionals are just that, teaching professionals. You see the people inside the classrooms, and that’s it.

I see these people everywhere I go, we do the relatively same things, go to the same movies recreate in the same general areas etc.

Your lack of common sense as a “Teaching Professional” astounds me, and how you aren’t comprehending any of the points I’m making is rather disheartening. I mean if I need to behave like a true elitist and just go ahead and assume everyone lacks common sense and the ability of comprehension I could just go and spell out every little thing for you all. But I have faith from having browsed these forums that we have a forum full of intellectuals and people who behave like adults.

My lack of compassion for stupid people, who enjoy being stupid does not make me a bad person, the same way having a lack of compassion for a rapist who enjoys rape does not make me a bad person.

Granted the extremes are different but the concept is the same. Which I again should not have to point out but hey, you guys have said some silly things already.

And my exact quote is “Oh and yes, as a 6 year gymnast who doesn’t sit in front of the television 4 hours a day eating pizza and mcdonalds, I look down on overweight people who eat doritos and ho-ho’s in class while sucking down a mountain dew. But at the same time I know people who have diabetes and from a number of causes are slightly over weight and recognize that their weight is as much under control as it will get.”

If someone makes no effort to be HEALTHY and in-shape, let alone attractive and socially presentable then I am not required to have compassion for them. And I’m certainly not going to stoop so low as to have pity on anyone. Especially since it’s again, common sense that if they wanted to do something about their weight and physical health they would eat better and exercise. And I could try and help them, but again here’s some common sense. You can’t help people who don’t want to be helped, and have no will to help themselves.

There is nothing good about being overweight when you have no medical problems making it so. Therefore I have every right to criticize those people, as a young man who goes out of his way to be in the best physical shape I can with the time I have to do it.

And please, do not generalize my opinions on stupid people, and stretch them as if they are my opinions on every individual thing in the world. Don’t be so childish, this is not your petty argument, this whole thread is simply me correcting your continuous mistakes.

Being a “teaching professional” for however amount of years is not necessarily an achievement because you have not necessarily achieved anything. You can continue to attempt to be condescending but I have surely changed more lives then you. I forgive your silliness simply because I understand you know nothing about me, and how I use my free time. But as an adult and a teaching professional you should surely know better then to behave as you have.

But for some insight, I know a lot of professionals, which allows me to help people with severe problems via re-direction to said people when I am out of my league.

Like drug issues, severe emotional/physical/sexual abuse, general depression, basic guidance and problem solving.

Which I am criticized frequently for being involved in, because I may not know what chemicals encompass depression. But the fact I am capable of recognizing a person’s problems and helping them find ways to solve said problems doesn’t seem to count.

Not counting people I’ve re-directed to seasoned professionals I’ve helped people cold turkey a hand full of drugs from oxy to blow to cigarettes. I’ve kept people from killing themselves I’ve on two occasions been the person someone called when they attempted suicide, rather then 911. I’ve helped people from cutting, helped them direct their general outlook on life to a more positive one, persuaded a few people to call CPS and live with the grandparents/auntsuncles, to excel better in school, to learn to quell their anger etc.

I see people overcome things FAR greater then just a “I could care less” attitude on school every day, therefore I have NO sympathy for people who are in school, but could care less whether or not they graduate with a diploma.

So I do not believe my standards should be lowered for those people.

Again I should not have to point all of this out, because it is fact and common sense. My backround and what I do with my time should not be the deciding point as to who agrees with me or who disagrees.

Again NewResident thank you for being you!
