    Of course. For the elites people like you should follow the rules. They are above them.


    My children are in private schools but had to go through a proper assessment, so I follow the rules too.

  2. I don't blame them. If we had the means to help our children get ahead, we'd use them. How do you think corporate and political leaders are made. Not saying all but some are born with a silver spoon. Hmm what an old cliche. Anyone work in corporations have seen new executives parachute in with no experience half your age. You know they didn't earn their way. Coming from the right gene pool helps. Here's another cliche; it's not what you know, it's who. And money talks.

    LOL, when Republicans get caught and right wingers get caught posting fake news, you come up with 'both sides' bullshit.

    Otherwise you are crying about leftists on every thread without a hint of bothsideism.

    So how about apologizing for posting fake news that the actresses are liberals which is a bunch of bullshit as already proven. The only lying hypocrite on this thread is you and your fake news.

  7. The best advise for a elite graduate student. Be social, the person next to you could come from a very powerful family. All the academics in world can't get their faster enough than someone pulling strings in your favor.
