Do you "over-educated" persons understand your position in life?

Your in the same pot as the rest of the world. You are no better or worse. Your the same. Having more money does not move you up to a higher level. Money is only a "tool" to be used to do things with. If you were on some fancy ship and due to complications you found yourself washed ashore on some island, the 1st thing you would do is build some kind of hut. Next you would start looking for food. You would be a form of animal.

My point to all this is, some of us are asking some very serious questions about subject that are very serious to us. You viewing this as an opportunity to "zing" someone with your personal remarks is going to set you up someday for an over reaction by someone who will harm your person in a very painful manner. In some of your cases the injury will be lifelong. You play, you pay.

    That's "you're" not "your".

    If you're feeling butt-hurt over an answer you got on Yahoo, you may be too sensitive to be out on the internet without a chaperone. And if you're threatening harm to the smartasses you've encountered here, well, good luck with that.

    People post their questions in an open forum; they may get answers they don;t necessarily like or want to see.

    Some people read their words and interpret their meaning differently then they may mean; maybe because they aren't skilled at wording their questions correctly, or they don't know how to ask about what they want to know specifically. Who is to blame that people are "under-educated"? Mine? I think not.

    Then again, there are people that know the difference between "your" and "you're"; "there", "their", and "they're"; "then" and "than" and choose to read the text literally.

    It seems you are making personal threats, "...your personal remarks is going to set you up someday for an over reaction by someone who will harm your person... ... In some of your cases the injury will be lifelong..."

    I am only responsible for what I mean, not for how you choose to interpret it.

    You're a sick person.

    What makes you think educated people don't have means to protest them selves AND I DON'T MEAN A SO CALLED GUARD. DUH.
