In the late 1800's, a poor farmer was working on his farm when he heard a cry from a young boy coming from a nearby swamp. He immediately dropped was he was doing and ran to see the situation. As he arrived, he saw a young boy in the swamp on the verge of drowning. He immediately helped the boy out and saved his life. Late that night, while at home, the poor farmer heard a knock on his door. He went to see who it was and was amazed to see a rich family in a very expensive carriage in his front yard. He then saw the boy he saved clothed in expensive clothes. The father of the saved boy approached the farmer and said to him " you saved my boys life. Had you not come to his aid, he would have been dead in that swamp. I would like to offer you some payment for your help." The farmer replied, "No sir, I cannot accept payment for saving your boy's life. It was the humane thing to do, and I would hope that if my boy was in the same situation, you would have done the same." The rich man continued to offer some sort of payment for his gratitude, but the farmer kept refusing. Just then, the farmers young son came to the door to see what the commotion was all about. The rich man saw him and said to him "If you wont accept payment, at least allow me to give your son the same benefits of education my son will have." The farmer knew his son would never get educated because he could not afford to give his son an education, so he agreed. The poor farmers son went to school, and turned out to be very bright. He eventually made it to the very top medical school of that time in England, St. Mary's (i think). Years later, and I mean years, the rich mans son got sick. What saved him this time? Think for a second >>> >> > Well duh, the poor farmers son, but with what? >>> >> > Penicillin. That is what saved the rich son, had the poor farmers son never gone to med school, the son whose name is ALexander Fleming would have never been provided with the education to create Penicillin. And what was the name of the rich son? Think for a second: >>> >> > Winston Churchill. What goes around comes around, Nuff said

is it safe to say that hell has begun?

But if you are like the rest of us ugly ducklings, you know that people are less likely to offer time and opportunities to you, . Is that why those bastards at the top 3 denied me?!?

Actually, I worked this story into my appeal when I got denied. It didnt work

Thanks

That may be the case Afterall, they did deny me admission, THAT shows stupidity jumpers ARE better all around people than whuffos

yes, the intellect of the kid has a role because the judge specifically stated that they will not hold children responsible for childish acts. But in Garrat vs Dailey, they were going to. I still dont understand what the issue in dispute was. Was it fault? Intent? Negligence? jumpers ARE better all around people than whuffos

Anybody around to help? jumpers ARE better all around people than whuffos

Yes, there is a lot of controversy about the accuracy of this story, but it is a cool story. Harvard says its false, while the dean of admissions of Stanford law says its all accurate. Harvard doesnt deny that the meeting took place, however, they say they were nice in helping the Stanfords find a location for their school. The young Stanford died at 16 from a virus, which could be labeled as accidental. And in those days, you could attend college at 14, 17, 25, whatever. VERY true. So there isnt much dispute, the only reason they question the authenticity is to protect the image of Harvard. Talk to the heads at Stanford, and they will agree with most of it

I am having troubles with my law school homework. Fellow 1L's unite

A lady in a faded gingham dress and her husband, dressed in a homespun threadbare suit, stepped off the train in Boston and walked timidly without an appointment into the Harvard University President's outer office. The secretary could tell in a moment that such backwoods, country hicks had no business at Harvard and probably didn't even deserve to be in Cambridge. She frowned. "We want to see the President," the man said softly. "He'll be busy all day," the secretary snapped. "We'll wait," the lady replied. For hours, the secretary ignored them, hoping that the couple would finally become discouraged and go away. They didn't and the secretary grew frustrated and finally decided to disturb the President, even though it was a chore she always regretted. "Maybe if they just see you for a few minutes, they'll leave," she told him. He sighed in exasperation and nodded. Someone of his importance obviously didn't have the time to spend with them, but he detested gingham dresses and homespun suits cluttering up his outer office. The President, stern-faced with dignity, strutted toward the couple. The lady told him, "We had a son who attended Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was happy here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed. And my husband and I would like to erect a memorial to him, somewhere on campus." The President wasn't touched, he was shocked. "Madam," he said gruffly. "We can't put up a statue for every person who attended Harvard and died. If we did, this place would look like a cemetery." "Oh, no," the lady explained quickly. "We don't want to erect a statue. We thought we would like to give a building to Harvard." The president rolled his eyes. He glanced at the gingham dress and homespun suit, then exclaimed, "A building! Do you have any earthly idea how much a building costs? We have over seven and a half million dollars in the physical plant at Harvard." For a moment the lady was silent. The president was pleased. He could get rid of them now. And the lady turned to her husband and said quietly, "Is that all it costs to start a university? Why don't we just start our own?" Her husband nodded. The President's face wilted in confusion and bewilderment. And Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford walked away, traveling to Palo Alto, California where they established the university that bears their name, a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about. You can easily judge the character of others by how they treat those who can do nothing for them or to them. jumpers ARE better all around people than whuffos

More law students!!! Woohoo!!!! Where do you attend? EVERYONE!!! Anyone going to Loyola (CA)? jumpers ARE better all around people than whuffos

Unfortunately, my grandparents were not smart and healthy people. None had any education whatsoever, and none can read. They lived on little farms in Greece as laborers. I came from a very, very, very, very poor family that did what it took to succeed. The people on welfare failed to do what my grandparents did, and the only blame should be on them, not us or society. jumpers ARE better all around people than whuffos

I agree with you. I spent time at a JC because, as listed above, I grew up with poor parents who worked their asses off to get where they went. I graduated from a crappy high school, and had to take 2 years of basic math and english at a local JC to catch up with my peers. DId I bitch? No. I did what I had to do to get to UC, which I then graduated magna cum laude, with the highest GPA in my major. Now off to law school. It may have taken me 2.5 more years than the average 4 year plan, but I did it. THe point of this reply is not to tell my story, but to concur with you that excuses for not doing your job and taking responsibility for your actions is inadmissable to me. Many people who went to schools on the wrong side of the tracks made something of themselves, conversely, people on the right side of the track screwed their lives up. No one can predict the outcome of your life except yourself, and if you screw it up, its not anyones fault but yours. Take care of yours and your own. OK, no more politic talk. I just thought it was a cool story to post up, and I did. BLUE SKIES!!

True, you make very good points, and I shouldnt make suppositions about being lazy. But I will tell you this, no one deserves free money. You arent owed it by anyone. Many people live below standard conditions, yet work to get there own. I cannot see a single situation where someone deserves free money (exception being where welfare could replace child support not paid by the deadbeat parent). Some mistake of theirs led them to that state where they needed that money, and it shouldnt be anyone else's problem, but their own. If they couldnt afford to have the children, then they shouldnt of had them to begin with. If they dont have children, and are not disabled, there is no excuse not to work.......my opinion jumpers ARE better all around people than whuffos

I am neither a Republican or Democrat. I cannot affiliate myself with just one party, and I disagree with some issues on either side. However, I am not one for equal distribution of wealth or welfare, or anything of that sort for that matter. Let me tell you why: I am a direct descendant of 2 immigrants from Greece. Both my parents grew up in little tiny villages with no electricity, running water, or any other amenities we have. As a matter of fact, the first time my mother even saw a car, she was 13. My father came here with a suitcase and $100. My mother moved here with her parents a 5 other siblings to live in a 1-bedroom apartment on Crenshaw blvd. NO ONE SPOKE ENGLISH! Do you think there were signs for them written in Greek? NO!! Do you think they received welfare or unemployment? NO!!! They worked their ass off, and amassed 7 figure assets within 10 years. They are the perfect example of VERY poor people coming to this country and taking advantage of the oppurtunities available. They walked around with books to translate signs and what people said. They all worked as laborers and took the bus to work. They got college degrees going to night school and graduated dean's list. Now, when someone needs welfare or complains that they are poor and we need to do something about it, I think to myself "Quit bitching and do it yourself. NO ONE owes anyone anything except yourself. Instead of having sex and being lazy while popping out kids, take responsibities for your actions. DONT HAVE SEX. Get a job. Dont expect us to pay for your mistakes in life." My parents worked very hard and no one helped them. They never bitched about the system and how they were owed for living in such low income areas. They are not lucky, they are just smart for taking the oppurtunities around them. ...............Just my opinion jumpers ARE better all around people than whuffos
