    In all seriousness, she is being held up as the symbol of this corruption bs because she was on a lame fucking TV show.  What about all of the other people who were the same, awful, craps?

    I always thought that GHW Bush was a part of this too.  Some people you see and say "how the hell did you get in to Yale/Harvard, etc"?

    Hardly ruined. They’ll hire crises consultants and image rehabilitators and disappear for awhile after their high powered, expensive attorneys plea deal three months to serve, three months home confinement and a year of public service. Then they’ll meld back into their rich, corrupt lifestyle with their brethren and fall out of our collective memories. Or they’ll run for  president, be a spokesperson for some product that nobody needs or write a book about their unfair life.

    He got in because he was a legacy and his family had deep connections, financial  and otherwise, to Yale.

    I don't even know where to begin, this is such a disgrace.  I know many, many young adults who will spend years, decades even, paying off student loans for an education that has not garnered a decent job.  It breaks my heart to think of the young people who have missed out on scholarships, those who worked their entire lives, got good grades, studied hard and were passed up by wealthy people paying for their kids to get into a good school.  It says a lot about the parents too, it's all about image.  I knew nothing about Lori Laughlin's kids prior to this but now that this has come out, she's not only disgraced the education system, she's made a fool of her daughters.  Half a million dollars.  My kids are so pathetic, I had to pay $500,000 just to get them into this school.  I'd really like to see their high school report cards.  Fucking sad.
    I could be wrong but I don't think these rich buy-ins took the spots from scholarship/grant kids.  I think they took the spots from kids who would have paid full tuition and worked their asses off to be the best-of-the-best and to get in.

    I do feel badly for Lori.  First...I went to USC, it is the fucking shit.  Who wouldn't want their kids to go there!!  (Just kidding, it was a school.)
    In all seriousness, she is being held up as the symbol of this corruption bs because she was on a lame fucking TV show.  What about all of the other people who were the same, awful, craps? 
    You know what, you are probably right, didn't take scholarship slots, no what they did was take slots that had limited acceptance numbers, people who excelled in certain sports etc.  So her kid gets in because she supposedly excels in rowing.  Do you have any idea how hard rowing is?  So someone out there lost an opportunity because that family paid A HALF MILLION DOLLARS to get her accepted as an athlete that excels in rowing.  Some young individual who worked hard all their life, probably with the goal in mind of attending such a prestigious university, loses out.  Think about it, what all these wealthy people did was change the life course of other young individuals who worked hard and had hopes and dreams.  I welcome the lawsuits.  Sorry for the rant, but I'm so sick of this shit.  
    Don't come closer or I'll have to go

    Lawyers might potentially end up disbarred if found guilty of fraud or a more serious crime, though.

    What I really mean though is we will never know.  As pointed out earlier, all the focus is on two b lister actors who are 'Hollywood liberal elite' ruining America that is being pushed by Limbaugh and Fox.
