Jeff, thats just wrong... lol...
apparently south philly high school is equipped to teach non english speakers to speak english. how about all those 19 year old freshmen (in high school).

i would **** if i moved to another country and had to go to school with kids 4 years younger than me and still catch a beat down.

I dont think you should move to another country without learning the language first, and if I was 19 and from china and I couldn't learn english for whatever reason I would learn me some Kung Fu before moving to Philly.

Maybe the black kids are fighting for there education.

This country needs to focus on its own education. ****, I know kids in my neighborhood can't read at a high school level.

not sure what happened to the Asian kids since I went to school, but I remember when the race riots were going on the blacks got their asses handed to them in a takeout box by the asians. It was straight out of a kung-fu movie, they were flipping them in the air, thowing them against soda machines and all kinds of stuff, **** was crazy!

Agreed. if you dont wanna be called so and so...stop acting like one.

A buddy of mine works at an appt complex up in philly. Their outside cameras caught a fight on film. Some college students got off of the train and were jumped by a bunch of black kids. Now i dont know if the kids started talking ****, or what. But a big fight broke out. Apparently one kid was about to get curbed stomped but then the police showed up.

its sad that all this **** happens. it just dosnt make any sense to me. i guess i dont have enough experience with their lifestyle. But it cant be that bad, bad enough to justify all the crime and ****.

I lived and grew up in south Philly I went to B.O.K. tech high then South philly high and no one ****ed with me! I mean I was picked on when I was younger and being Cambodian in Philadelphia didn't help at all so I got tired of it and fought back even though thats just adding more fuel to the fire but I won the war on the streets, but to see a repeat after so long just hurts....Man in south philly high there would be bigi fights in the hall way and the teachers and fake a$$ cops would watch till its over. I hate that school!

the majority of these high school kids in philly don't give a crap about school, the future or education. i am confident in saying (while on the subway) that they're our city's future losers. a drain on our whole system. most of these kids have a sense of entitlement and won't and will never work for anything in life. it is a shame because it is so widely acceptable in this city to behave like a complete loser.

as for the asian immigrants, i don't understand how there is still a huge attraction for people from other countries to move here. it isn't the 1950s and our image has been sharply tarnished since then. if i were living in asian and wanted to move somewhere for more opportunity or whatever, i'd go to europe/australia/canada.

Did anyone see the posting for the copied aluminum Beatrush propeller shaft bushings last week? The kid had a machine shop copy them, and was selling them for $35/set. Well, I bought a set, and talked to my neighbor about copying those if any of you guys are interested in a set. I should recieve them this week and discuss prices with him. If it's reasonable, I'll offer it up to you guys...no-profit neccesary!
