School is a scam anyways if some rich fucker wants to waste a buncha money to get there kids into some college its there loss who gives a shit. This lady gets a million dollar bail bond meanwhile kiddie diddlers getting off way to easy...
shareThe issue is hardworking people who can't buy their way in get screwed over.
shareEvery spot that's taken by a rich kid who bribes their way is one less for someone who deserved it.
shareThis is why we should care, every rich bastard who buys their kid's way into the good college is squeezing out some bright and hard-working kid from a regular background. And because the people who are deciding who accept bribes aren't doing their jobs, and some of them are public employees, and WE are paying their salaries.
I wonder if anyone at my local university has taken bribes?
Just like those who could not get in because they were white, and affirmative action says a lower grade earning but non-white can
shareyeah i am sure affirmative action screws over 100 times more hardworking students than this stupid scandal. there are not that many rich people out there paying off school administrators. there are a lot more afro murican affirmative action spots being taken from smart white and especially smart asian kids. Im white but my half brother is asian the system is gonna fuck him over worse than me. wish i was a negro sometimes haha not really lol
shareWhy do you assume that when an African-American student gets in, that they didn't have high or acceptable grades or wrote a compelling essay? A lot of the time, they do. I doubt you're friends with any "African muricans" the way you talk. Many white kids are not smart, but just average and get in through legacy or because the school thinks they can contribute to "campus life" writing for the school paper or hanging out in the coffee houses :-| Asians work their ass off but all of their parents make them play the violin and piano. Colleges want diversity, not 1,000 kids that all play violin. So they're going to want to take in a couple of unique kids that want liberal arts degrees and show off their personality, and not necessarily all maths and science majors who all play the same instrument once all of those spots are full. Barack Obama got straight As in college because he had discipline. George Bush got Cs because he was slacking but I doubt you resent him.
shareHe's assuming correctly based on averages.
Also, Obama didn't get straight As. He sealed all his school records. We don't know what he got. But considering Bush got Cs and still released his, Obama's must have been pretty bad. Or... you know... he got accepted in as a foreign exchange student...
obuma was the worst president. bush sucked too but at least he was funny as hell u gotta give that dude that

" he got accepted in as a foreign exchange student..."
A birther? Yeah, I can't take you seriously anymore.
He didn’t claim Obama was not a citizen, Obama lied about his birth place to get a leg up, just like another whitest of white lied and claimed to be a Native American in order to get a leg up.
shareobuma was married to a man/tranny
share"He didn’t claim Obama was not a citizen, Obama lied about his birth place to get a leg up"
Birther refers to someone who claims Obama was not born in the US. The term still applies.
My gosh you are one dense butt head. Obama made the claim he was a foreign student, he lied about his birth place to get treated differently by the University. The poster was addressing that.
Progressives, the worlds most ignorant people.
Fact check (took me two minutes):
https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2015/dec/09/facebook-posts/facebook-posts-still-claim-obama-wasnt-born-us/
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/the-occidental-tourist/
The Columbia ID people use to argue this claim was a bad photoshop job (another student's # is on it) and a Columbia spokesman has stated the specific type of ID didn't exist when Obama was a student (among other evidence).
I guess you and the other dude are the ignorant ones.
Lol the stupid racist shit people are willing to buy into
shareAmen SamGerard.
Kind of glad I came across this convo. Didn't realize the birther argument had a newer offshoot. I wonder if John Kyle will be bothered to respond.
If he non-skeptically buys into ridiculous theories like Obama claimed to be foreign when he applied for college to get treated differently than I doubt any response he gives would be worth reading. Like you said, fact checking that item took you 2 minutes but I suspect most people don't want to fact check stuff like that because doing so will only confirm what deep down they already know to be true; that the theory they desperately want to believe is in fact bullshit.
share"...I suspect most people don't want to fact check stuff like that because doing so will only confirm what deep down they already know to be true; that the theory they desperately want to believe is in fact bullshit."
True.
I'm pretty sure Bush didn't release his, they got leaked. He played it perfectly and just embraced it and was more liked because of it. People can say what they want about Bush but they could learn a thing or two from how he handled that situation.
shareThat W has a slight likability doesn't excuse his tenure. One of the worst presidents ever, so typical of what the pubes are trying to accomplish, i.e., income inequality and cronyism.
shareI didn't say anything about his tenure and I'm not looking to debate it in the least. I'm simply talking about from a PR standpoint, he played off the (non)issue of his grades perfectly.
share
Ding ding ding ding ding ding!
Glad someone had the guts to say that!
😎
...wish i was a negro sometimes haha not really lol
lol an murican is a true patriot, its a compliment to be called an murican
shareI bet you would care if you had been the student that got waitlisted, or even denied just so this bitch's vacuous daughter could be bribed into school. Think long and hard about what they did, and then put yourself in the shoes of one of the kids who earned it, but didn't get into to USC to make room for these dumbasses, even though Olivia Jade is so damn dumb, she couldn't even figure out how fill out the college application herself. How would you feel?
sharewhat about all those afro muricans who have low scores and probably even more dumb than that ladys daughter who got affirmative actioned into schools that smart white and asians got waitlisted in? affirmative action fucks over many more kiddos than this stupid scandle
shareWhen schools pick students for diversity, those students DO have good grades :-| NONE of those students have lower SAT scores than Lori's daughter, are you kidding? You pretend that low scores make you angry but you just admitted you DON'T CARE that Lori's daughter got low scores?? You literally don't care that her scores are low, so good grades and bad grades are not the issue here. You exalt Lori's daughter above all other people because you exalt white and pale people above all other people. LOL. So if Lori's daughter was darker but the SAME EXACT vapid influencer you would dislike her.
shareif u wanna be a black doctors is really easy. if your white its kinda hard. but if ur asian or indian its really hard. indians pretend there afro muricans so they can get into med school all the time haha. affirmitive action is ridiculous
shareYou also say the words "smart white" together like you think those adjectives naturally go together. I doubt you'd say "smart black" or "smart black kids" because you have a problem with dark skinned people in general and view all white people as naturally being good. Look dude, there's no point exalting white or pale people above all other people because they're not all automatically clever. If Lori were smart, she would've used her daughter's acting credits as an extracurricular activity for her college applications instead of ROWING. But Lori isn't clever even though she's pale and blonde lol. Decades of being brainwashed by Full House, Baywatch, Saved by the Bell and Home Alone made you view white and blonde as the "default race" or the only type of people who could be considered "normal" Americans but if you saw more Asians and dark skinned people in the media growing up, maybe you'd view them as something other than "extras" in the background of your life lol.
sharethere are a lot of smart black kids out there. but unfortunately because of affirmative action they are also not being taken as seriously as they could be without it. affirmative action hurts blacks the worse. i have nothing against black people i wish em well. affirmitive actionioning a buncha black people into higher education doesnt help nobody especially smart black people
share
Amen! Affirmative Action is immoral and wrong.
😎
People are too wrapped up about what college they go to. If one kid doesn't go to USC, there's always UCLA or Pepperdine or Fresno State or whatever. There are tons of colleges around. This doesn't sound like a major story to me, I don't think it affects a lot of people in dramatic fashion, not like segregation. And I feel bad for the kids who are getting treated like they are dumb because the parent wants them to go to a good or a legacy school. They are the product of their parent's parenting. If they seem dumb it's probably their parent's fault. Dumb parents have dumb kidz.
shareI care. I think all students should have a fair shot to get into college based on their academic records. The people that participated in this scam should be held accountable and if any of the students did not get in based on their own skills they should be kicked out. I believe this is just the beginning.
shareaffirmative action already made school a joke. academic records dont mean nothing anymore
shareAbsolutely not true. I'm angry you would even say this. Many groups have been systematically left out of progress and learning for hundreds of years. Now that we try to correct this, so many privileged types throw their hands in the air and wail at how unfair it all is. Grow a pair, man, I tell them. Get back to working on your dreams, not whining because something wasn't given to you.
sharei dropped out of school and my dreams came true. but when it comes to people who want to be a doctor or something and are white and asian the system is racist against them. this also works against blacks as well because now the smart ones who actually deserved to be doctors wont be taken as seriously anymore. i wouldnt want to be treated by a black doctor knowing how much easier it is for them to get into school. affirmative action hurts everyone
shareWow. I hope someone else chimes in here. I don't want to be the only one telling you how absolutely wrong you are. Black people don't become doctors because of AA. They get admitted and have to pass classes and boards and MCAT. You may not mean it, but this is a very racist stance you are taking.
shareYes, and at least these students have the ability to get a pen and fill out their own application. Lori's daughter not only didn't have the will power to get a pencil and write her own application, once she got in she was too lazy to read through the list of classes and sign up for her own classes. Her sister had to pick and choose classes for her. An African-American doctor WANTS to go to school, Lori's daughter didn't even want to attend, so why bother filling up a spot that you don't want. Of course doctors have to get good grades in med school and pass board exams. They don't have parents to hire someone to sit next to them during the SATs (and still somehow get average scores). I think her daughter will be okay. Her mom will encourage her to marry a rich dude with old money, she'll have babies to seal the marriage and she won't have to have any knowledge of anything ever. This wasn't a once off incident either, Lori's daughter also went on a trivia show and got the producers to reshoot the ending of the show so that she'd win. They also forced the original girl who did win to pretend to get the answers wrong and took the girls $5,000 away after she already won it the first time. Now what? Lori's daughter is so hot, that she can jack the other girl for her money? Lol
shareshe is hot and very money savvy. the perfect girl!
shareAffirmative action totally helps black dudes who are dumb become doctors. Just look at Ben Carson that dude is as slow as a box of bricks yet they gave that bozo a PHD haha. its not racist its true
shareEverybody seems to have missed OP's point that college itself IS a scam.
So if somebody scams their way into a system which is itself a scam by its very nature, who exactly loses?
everybody expect the teacher$
shareThe OP's point is Lori's daughter is such a cutie pie that she should be able to do whatever she wants lol. Most teachers barely get paid at all or paid fairly.
sharemost teachers barely get paid at all?!?!? they are a buncha overpaid fat cats! u know how much money they steal from me every year in property taxes. I learned way more about the economy and getting rich playing videogames than at school. teachers dont deserve 1/3rd the pay they get yet those greedy mothafuckas want more?!?!? fuck teachers they are the worst!!
shareCollege profs make a lot more than primary school teachers.
share
Amen!
😎
Well if I were studying my ass off every day and getting excellent grades and yet there was no room for me at "The Inn" because I was one of the ones getting screwed over by some elite, little snot who didn't know how to lift a pencil or pick up an oar and instead cared more about doing makeovers and eye shadow swatching while doing remotes from her dorm room, I think I'd be entitled to be a little peed off about the whole college scam story....just saying...
These upper crust families are using their money to push honest, hard working students out of their chance to go to their chosen school where they have earned a right to get their education....again, just saying...
she is gonna be 10 times more successful than most of her classmates. while the dweebs are studying for there 9-5 jobz she is building herself some makeup makeover channel that can result in some seriously easy and lucrative self employment income. i dont think she is dumb at all. when u look as good as she does and have some charisma u dont gotta study and be another brick in the wall like most other students
