2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: To my Clinton supporter friends [View all]DemocratSinceBirth
(99,708 posts)There are people that are street smart and people that are book smart. I prefer the company of the former. As my buddy says he would rather hang out with five ex-convicts than five intellectuals. When it comes to street smarts and book smarts some folks have a paucity of the former and abundance of the latter or vice versa.
Some life's lessons they don't teach you in school:
-When someone tells you it's not personal it's always personal.
-When someone says it's not about the money it's always about the money.
-When someone prefaces his or her remarks with "no disrespect intended" , someone is about to be disrespected, hard!
-When someone refers to an amorphous group as "friends" the person making the reference considers them anything but.
No need to thank me for my impromptu discussion on life's lessons. In lieu of thanks hug a gangsta, lol.
