Free college education if you can speak the language. As I understand it, no citizenship required.

And they need to keep asking questions that piss him off.

I really miss our used book store. It was tiny but packed, and it had that smell.

So they are trying to force the company to admit, "no we are still committed to anti-consumer policies to boost profits", is that the point?

Some buddies and I actually got an old firebird with a blown head gasket for lemons. Got it running, and then realized how much more we would have to pay for all the safety gear... We were still willing but had some disagreements for who was gonna pay what when and so the main backer pulled out and the dream went up in smoke...

Where did you get this, or did you build it yourself?

Listen, Im over here wearing my floaties, watching sales people doing a triple gainer off the high-dive. I'm not trying to pretend to be especially good with the social skills. All I'm saying is water is wet. Some people have an affinity to those sorts of skills, some don't. Some people work at it. Some can't. Everyone has to at least bathe though. That's a metaphor, but also not.

Why do you need to be forced by society to develop social skills?

Social skills is another way of saying the abilities required to function in a society. You might as well ask why do you need to learn to swim to get in the pool.

Why isn't putting your best forward enough?

Often it is, but to stretch the metaphor used above, they are going to be stuck in the shallow end.
