    It’s interesting because I don’t think it’s a black vs. white issue. It’s something that is very much an American issue that spans all demographics. Well, except the ones kicking ass I guess.

    My parents worked their ass off, I will be forever grateful. It has nothing to do with skin color.

    Unfortunately, I think your inference says far more about you. With allies like y’all, who needs enemies.

    I didn’t mention race. But the mask on certain posters is slipping.

    Or if they stay and raise them.
  6. Yeah, we may need to add the word sometimes to the thread title.
  7. Gerry mentioned this morning that it’s very clear what A&M’s recruiting strategy versus Texas is… which is ironic because I have no idea what he means.
  8. They can’t stop the run, so let’s throw it in the red zone.
  9. Not one run play? Sark can be retarded sometimes.
  10. Yes, CISD absorbed quite a lot of refugees. They even sent some to Splendora. That… I would’ve paid money to see.
  11. I hope I didn’t give the impression that they accounted for all the crime. May not have helped is an understatement, though.
  12. Just tell the hurricane to please return my new sneakers. I got stuck wearing hand me downs that year.
  13. It was my first encounter with actual gang members and not the “affiliated” kids I knew. It was less traumatic and more chaotic I think. We had designated areas for fighting and that comes with the territory. But this was everyday and involved knives, hence the metal detectors. The graffiti and stealing were on such a large scale that I think most of us were in a sort of culture shock. It was unbelievable.
  14. My kids aren’t in private school. CISD had changed for the better in recent years, though. Still, I won’t send them to Conroe High, that’s child abuse.
  15. Lake Conroe has also really changed the landscape, there was a lot more poors back in the day. It’s cool, no worries. I got to learn some neat gang signs, so I have that going for me.
  16. Conroe area, less money than Klein to be sure. I can’t remember the exact amount of students we absorbed, but it was, um, enlightening.
  17. Neat data, but we Houstonians lived it. I graduated high school that year and I also had a younger brother that attended. It was really awesome getting to see Blood gang fights in person, you guys missed out.
  18. Haha, I’ve never lived there but let me tell you what it’s like living there.
  19. Holy shit. Our school district did the right thing and absorbed quite a few refugees. How were we rewarded? Gang fights and metal detectors became the norm. Cool.
  20. I had a friend growing up with a gnarly scar on the top of his head from a Chow. Apparently they’re some mean SOB’s as well. Still, if I see a family with a pit bull, it takes everything I have not to call them fucking morons.
