Opportunity and Diversity at UPS
We will be, some day. My youngest son started college last week, and got a HOPE Scholarship, which paid for his in-state tuition and some books. But if he was a minority, illegal alien, or gay, he could qualify for more grants. He didn't qualify for any academic scholarships, because I made two thousand bucks too much last year. His HS Test scores were so high, he finished six out of four hundred in his graduating class, earning a Presidential Award of Acheivement. The fact that he doesn't qualify for Academic Awards when people doing less and getting them just burns me up.White men are the minority now.
Well, Scratch, you are obviously an intolerant gay hater, who also dislikes minorities.
(Unlike myself.)

So are you mad the minorities and "people doing less" or are you mad at those who are giving minorities and "people doing less" the opportunity??
Why doesn't my son get the "same opportunity"? I think everybody should be judged the same, what in the world is wrong with that?

Scratch, that's the kind of denial of perks regarding our college students that I was trying to explain earlier in another thread.
There is one perk that both my sons got when they started college. They are both Eagle Scouts with Gold Palms. They both applied for part time jobs at school and were hired on the spot when they mentioned that. My first son got a job in the Computer Lab and now works in the TV Station directing and editing video. My youngest just got hired to work in the Library and has to escort Coeds back to the Dorm if asked. Yes, I'm bragging on them, they are great kids and my wife and I are now experiencing the "Empty Nest" syndrome.
I'm an Eagle Scout myself and, whether good or bad, it secured my hiring over 3 others when I applied 22 years ago next month. While I've had my doubts about UPS, getting my Eagle Scout award is something I will always be proud of!
