[quote=FlyerInHi]DThere is a tiny big problem with Rufus. He’s the only one who resents any help. So as flu remarked, why waste time on an ingrate?
From my own observation, I can tell you that Julio is moving on up. My granite installer/fabricator told me that he worked really hard but his cheap boss would pay him only $80 pay day. So he leaned English, quit and started his own business. He can can now make $500 – $1500 per day installing granite, depending on the job.
I love him because he does exactly what I tell him without bitching and charging me extra (I pay extra anyway). They value education (not in a tiger way), buy they don’t have the contempt for learning that Rufus holds (because Rufus think he knows everything already).
Julio’s kids go to school and are doing well. They will become the new middle class, the electricians, plumbers, etc… and eventually their own kids will be lawyers, doctors and politicians.
By the way, I have hired Rufus to do work for me… he’s nice and did a good job, but talking to him aggravates me. Plus he’s not cheap. Rufus would say how fucking Obama is ruining the country, that we should bomb the shit out of Iran, blah, blah…. totally ignorant retard stuff.[/quote]
Not sure I agree about Julio’s grandkids being doctors. Julio’s approach to education ain’t in the same ballpark as Chaoxiang’s. It ain’t in the same league. It ain’t even the same fuckin’ sport. Heck, even Todd – our suburban white guy – values education vastly more than Julio.
Why waste time on an ingrate? Because it’s not his fault that he’s an ingrate (in my opinion). If it’s not Tyrone’s fault that he’s a ganster, then it’s not Rufus’s fault that he’s an ingrate.
Right now, whether Rufus realizes it or not (he doesn’t), the government spends boatloads of money on him. And we, the taxpayers, will continue to spend money on him for as long as he’s stuck in a cycle of ignorance. So you could look at it from a selfish point of view and say that if we educate him instead of giving him food stamps, we’ll eventually stop having to support him. Why keep giving him fish, if we can teach him how to fish?
