Did Scott Adams grow up in a slum and receive a US "inner city" education?
Alternatively, did he grow up on a farm with a family that expected him to work to help support it once he could drop-out of school without repercussion?
Are you starting to see where this is going?
- scott_karana 13y agoYou seem to be conflating "rich" with "not poor".
- acuozzo 13y agoWho said anything about `rich'? Neither I nor the parent ever used the word.
- scott_karana 13y agoThe great grandparent who started off the line of reasoning was pretty explicit about it, saying things like the following: > 99% of the "Successful" kids I went to school with had rich parents In either case, you're referring to a poor minority of Americans. I don't think anyone else was arguing that average Americans are overprivileged compared to ... other average Americans. (If I misinterpreted, please let me know: I've been on a roll today.)
