...on this forum. Its why a lot of the threads denigrate.
On one hand, we have a few younger people with no real world experience who just cite what they've read or heard, or stats or data they find online. Which kinda beats the point of a forum like this which is based on personal experiences.
Then we have provincially minded older people with a very myopic world view. They simply dismiss anyone with a different life experience and throw tantrums coz they don't want to hear it.
We need more people with varied backgrounds posting to even things out more.
TBH I think its sad when you have young people who should be living it up and getting as many experiences as they can, acting like this. While its sadder than some people age and never have those experiences.... Its like the young people are the young version of some of the geriatric trick clique posters on here lol
I think SJG, Papi Chulo, Nidan, Skibum(when he makes good posts), Muddy and a few others are a welcome relief to the forum....

Question: what exactly constitutes as "real world experience" to you, IceyLoco? What are some examples that come to mind for you?

I am 27 too, but with 29 years experience at being 27.

Sometimes you spend your whole life being sheltered and desperately want to break out and start "living it up." When you do finally break out and start "living it up" though, you realize how dangerous and tough the world actually is, and you realize that there was a reason you were sheltered all your life and you want to go back to a sheltered, wholesome existence.
I've had enough experiences to know that I really don't like the way a lot of the world is. Unfortunately, I don't have as much power to change it as I would like, so I'd prefer to create my own.

“Its why lots of threads denigrate.”
I suppose you meant, “It’s why lots of threads degenerate.”
“Denigrate” is a transitive verb and requires an object.

It's an anonymous website - people don't have to play nice and can let out/vent their biases and w/e is on their minds - thus one should take things with a certain grain of salt given that honesty may also not be in spades in what is posted.

CC99 - while we’re getting our English lesson for the day (I.e. denigrate vs degenerate; transitive verbs) what’s that word “wholesome”? You used it twice and it’s a new one for me. Maybe, “ I put my dick in her hole some”?

Hey iceyy, why don't you go to an unranked law school(LMAO ) spend 300 K on it, and have a 10% chance of making a 6 figure salary to be able to pay 300 grand back?
Log in to vote
I get it you are the only one with a world view that counts, you look at shit through 27 year old eyes and think you know everything about everything, god gave people two ears and one mouth that should tell you it’s smarter to talk about half as much as you listen.
If you were actually smarter I’d try to give you something you could use, unfortunately you take everything out of context and try to spin it into a very negative narrative.

Totally @Nicole. Live it up! You're young and have no worries. All that crushing debt can be dealt with by the government who is gonna give us all free college!
Disclaimer: above post is highly sarcastic.
Log in to vote
Btw..300 K in debt= like 2 grand a month minimum
2 grand a month = around 40 k a yr to pay off debt sounds hot to pay on a 5 figure salary that you would be lucky to get cominng from unranked school.
Damn Icey I should go to u for more life advice.

I'm just saying its a waste of a forum when people don't use it to benefit themselves. I mean, I try to glean something from everyone...Like Skibum, I disagree with his bigotry, but when he posts on topic remarks or when he shares his life experience, I find it very interesting....same with a lot of people who post about how things used to be, or what strip clubs were like decades ago... An intelligent person can do that. You realize people are a product of their times, and that makes them interesting. Its a better attitude than belittling people for being different or having different experiences.
I remember graduating high school and just wanting as many different experiences as I could get. Not all were that great but I learned from everything. Life is to be lived. So what if you make mistakes.... I'd rather go through life knowing I tried that wondering what if. There's not always a happy ending and life is far from perfect, but its better than being afraid to live.

True that a why i don't talk about it...the only thing i say is stay away from an unranked school.you don't need to have a degree to know that you should avoid going to a school that isn't even fucking ranked.

Just like how high schoolers who arent in college know that the last thing they want to attend is an unranked school .LOl
yea ill talk about law school when I'm.there but i don't talk about it.I talk about aspects of it which you don't need a law degree to know about LOL.
Log in to vote
Yet you make blanket statements ad nauseum, generalizing every aspect of of anything you disagree with, yet tell people to take you at your word, yet offer absolutely no reason anyone should trust you. If you want some cred I’ve said this before write a review or meet another forum member, get verified, until that happens you have zero credibility and you shouldn’t, most folks are happy to share life experiences in a way that relates to others, you have no relativity, therefore anything you say lacks credibility.

Umm which is why I never said you have to go to an ivy league school to be an employed lawyer ..
There's a difference between saying you should go to a RANKED law school versus saying u have to go to an ivy, the latter of which is what you assume i think when I repeatedly tell u that is not the case.

I'm just saying the rank of the school isn't really important
So what if the world is fucked up, you only have one life...delusions aren't better, you want something better make your life better
OK then give some good advice...
Log in to vote
If an unranked law school is the only school a person can get into, by all means they should go if law is truly their passion. If they earn their degree, that is an accomplishment. If they pass the bar and get sworn in, that is an accomplishment.
Of course many people graduate law school with tons of debt, but some of us, unlike yourself, actually get these things called "jobs" while in school, to help with that.
Log in to vote
Nicole that’s correct life isn’t about rank, it about feeling comfortable in your own skin, a lot of younger people don’t really know where they fit, but if you want to find a place to fit, you need to not be so condescending as to think no one has ever done what you’re doing.

After 20 years, almost no one cares which school you went to or how your grades were, they just look at your last 10 years work history and what you accomplished. The school becomes chit chat trivia unless your interviewer went there too.

Most people regardless of their age in 2019 tend to have a much more narrow scope of view than they did a decade a go......why? Because most of them don't have the communication skills people had a decade ago nor do they use them.
It's to easy to text someone instead of talk....for the older people it's a FB thing, for the younger ones IG or worse when you are really 1/2 narcissist there is Twitter. I rant about these cluster f8cks of technology all the time but the real casualty is understanding of the other persons perspective.
Additionally the lack of critical thinking being taught over the last 20 years at all levels of education is dumbfounding.
At the risk of reopening an old feud its' why asswipes like Paul Krugman can pawn himself off on the world as an expert and guys like RM swallow the horse crap they dish out because he was applauded by the inter-circle of handful of people and organizations that feel they are above everything else......and when told that is the case the IPhone drones hit the like button because they are supposed to like someone who is liked by someone.........
Learn to listen. Learn to comprehend......the old midwest comment my parents made to me years ago is God gave you two ears, two eyes and one mouth. Use them in the same proportion they were given to you......and stay away from following the herd.

@Warrenboy I’ve promoted that concept many times that’s not what’s happening here, you’ve got a single poster saying impossible things, and attacking anyone who points out those impossibilities, instead of responding with facts and figures he says you’re wrong, yet offers no evidence or explanation to back up his wildly imaginary claims.

You come across as a young man trying to pretend you’re very worldly and savvy. You’re not doing a very good job of this.
We were all young and goofy once upon a time. That’s why it’s so easy for us to spot your pretense.
I’d pay a million dollars to be able to return to that young and goofy epoch in my life.

Orionsmith, I have to disrespectfully disagree with you. It all depends upon what kind of a career you are trying to pursue. In some realms a great deal of fundamental knowledge is expected. While education is not a complete predictor of this, it is often going to be a strong indicator.
