Yes it's terrible. My mom does more or less the same thing. They give her the worst classes with the most disadvantaged kids because she's good at it and has a great track record with them. But the vast majority of the people she works with are complete idiots that I wouldn't trust to so much as babysit my cat.

Anyway, I think it isn't sporting to make fun of this woman. She's clearly in a confused place and mocking her is like shooting fish in a barrel.
I can only assume that this is sarcasm, given this poster's usual high level of cruelty.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

That satisfies my world view.
Unfortunately your world view involves more nuclear exchanges than some us are prepared to tolerate.
Perhaps a couple of nuclear exchanges would prove good for mankind.

I'm not really that cruel. Sometimes callous, but cruel?

I don't know.  You're never above kicking someone when they're down.  But then again, maybe I just see the worst side of you in absolutely everything you do.

Yeah I think you are imagining things or perhaps conflating me with someone else.

I think Neil is confusing callous with simply being a supreme bitch.

Bitchiness and cruelty are the same thing.

More Young People Ditching Credit Cards

'Younger adults seem to be developing an aversion to credit cards and the debt that comes with them.

A new analysis of data about millions of consumers from FICO, creator of the widely used FICO credit score, finds that in 2012, 16 percent of those aged 18 to 29 had no credit cards at all. That's up from 9 percent in 2005, before the recession.'

Best news in this thread yet.

Until their poor credit rating due to no credit makes them unemployable.

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

We're talking bigger picture here.

How is that good? No job + student loans = poor economic picture, with or without credit card debt.
