Everyone gets a chance when they are young. I know lots of people who beared with me when they should not have.

  You got a chance, people should get a chance, but it's not true that everyone does get a chance. Some people are just dealt a bad hand and get no lucky breaks, and have no path to leave mediocrity despite their effort. I think people are downvoting because they disagree with you and not explaining why.

  > people who bore* with me Past tense of verb "bear" is "bore" (not "boar", FWIW.) ;-)

    Thanks.

    FYI, English is slowly evolving away from having irregular forms of many verbs. This means that simply adding -ed to the verb is acceptable. Some common examples: bend and bent/bended, lend and lent/lended, weep and wept/weeped...

      Acceptable to whom? Degradation of language is degradation of mind. Most people don't like to sound ignorant and unlettered. You saw that nashashmi graciously said, "Thanks", eh?
