What really grinds my gears

"Uneducated working class", I'm one of those. So you are looking down on me because I don't have a college education? I was put up a grade in school, tested at just below genius level on on standardized tests but was never interested in school. I was taught the value of hard work from my father, an "uneducated" Naval Officer. He impacted many lives. I witnessed this in person at the old Naval Firefighting School in Tierrasanta. I was only six at the time but I recognized the changes in the sailors from beginning to end. I'm always teaching people at work both professionally and personally.

There's a lot to be said for "Hard Knocks".


I'm also a "Mick, Frog, Haggis Eater Euro-melange"

I did not see any racial remarks from you in this thread so I don't know why you are trying to defend yourself? I am not talking down to you because you didn't say anything that was wrong. Also I am not the one that said, "uneducated working class."
