No, Guin. I got kicked out of my old school for getting into a fight and pissing in someone’s backpack. I went to anothe regular public school and that was right across the bridge from me. ---

Stand in the pouring rain atop a gargoyle that adorns a grimy cathedral rooftop, your unshaven profile {you do shave, I take it?} outlined against the crumbling spire by flashes of lightning as the storm in your soul mirrors that raging over the savage Babylon beneath, your trenchcoat swirling in the gale that blows the trash through those sordid streets, throw your head back, and snarl it at the implacable elements: “AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT _CARES_?” PS: Scampering rats and fluttering doves would aid the symbolism. ---

Second, you were kicked out of school for _urinating on someone else’s property._ Niiiiiiiiice. :rolleyes: ---

What do you suppose the odds are that within the next 24 hours, the screenname **Kyle Rayner1** says a variation on one of the next three statements? 1. I’m sorry, guys, my [del]dead[/del] little brother got into my account where I was still logged in. 2. I’m sorry, guys, it was quarter draft night at the bar across the street. or, 1. I’m sorry, guys, in a drunken stupor I accidentally spraypainted my screenname and password on the overpass last night. Or can he really be this dumb? ---

> [@Kyle Rayner1](#): > > They’re ignorant, you see. It’s obvious you’ve never seen or lived near a poor community because you don’t know what your talking about so fuck off. So on top of all that, you’re a snob? Look at it this way: you tried your hand at the vigilante thing with the fighting and backpack-pissing. How much better was your school after you did that? (I mean, aside from the natural improvement caused by the fact that they got rid of you.) ---

Believe me if a vigilante could embarass the current mayor I would be all for it. ---

> [@Kyle Rayner1](#): > > I knew I would get heat for that but it was for a good reason trust me plus I was younger than. That does sound like just what you would say. You do a great imitation of yourself. I hate to sound like an old Republican here, because I’m neither, but people can and do get out of poverty and terrible surroundings. I’m not saying it happens every time, but it does happen. You’re assuming they can’t, and you’re assuming that it’ll help them if they have lowered expectations and don’t even have to obey the law. Those are both pretty confusing. ---

Listen, I’m not saying you guys don;t know poverty but this mayor has screwed this city far enough if I could put real names I would but it’s against Dope rules. I entertained these kids for a whole year and I tried to make their lives easier but they still had to go back to their harsh realities. ---
