Homeless Student Is Intel Talent Search Semifinalist
An anonymous reader writes "Samantha Garvey, a senior at Brentwood High School, has managed to become one of the remaining 300 semifinalists in the Intel Science Talent Search this year. Her research focused on mussels and on her discovery that they change the thickness of their shells if a predator such as crabs are introduced. Why is Garvey's achievement so impressive? Because she and her entire family are homeless, and rely on a local homeless shelter. Such a situation would stop many students from being able to focus on studying, let alone a research project, but Garvey has instead used her situation as motivation."
On the streets whoring herself out on the streets for money.
Is she black?
While the poverty of herself and her entire family would suggest that she is black, I'm guessing she cannot be black since she's doing a scientific research project.
What a bunch of lame fucking whining.
Oh no, I'm a "wage slave" and have to work to lead an existence 75% of the world would love to have. Oh no, I have to struggle a bit to get some shit I don't really need to survive! Oh no, I can't quite pay my bills (but I have food, shelter, usually access to TV, transportation, emergency health care, ...).
The whole 99% vs 1% is pathetic. When you're starving to death or dying of exposure you can complain. Until then, work and try to improve your lot instead of whining like a little bitch about a lifestyle that 75% of the world envies.
Yeah, we're fucking beating you. So whine all you like, we're winning. Your idiotic socialism leads to stagnation and eventually complete collapse. If you make life too easy for people who don't want to work, they won't fucking work.
But whatever socialist utopia you hail from should keep it up. I'm sure you're a dynamo of the world economy. Well, you might be if you sit on a bunch of oil or something, but that won't last forever.
Is money being forced from your hand? What exactly are the 1% doing to you? They're not paying you enough money?
What about their kids?
What about them? I think that homeless shelters are a Good Thing, and certainly so in the case of helping kids who had no choice about the situation they were born into. But let's be real--the kids have the same genetics as their parents. If the parents were losers then odds are the kids are too.
Got a fer instance?
