<p>keilexandra: this particular op very early on characterizes himself as an upper middle class latino. i don’t know of many upper middle class anythings that get any substantial form of financial aid, do you? with this knowledge going in, even though it was rightfully stated that i didn’t really get to know the op before commenting, i don’t think the use of the word ‘slither’ is inappropriate in this instance. </p>
<p>it is my belief that anyone applying ed should expect to get jack at the financial aid table and anything that is ultimately offered should be considered charity. that’s why there’s still rd. nevertheless, i was certainly not bashing anyone that was applying ed in good faith, i was bashing the upper middle class op who should have expected to get nada (that’s for the op) in financial aid, as is usual for upper middle class families, yet was trying to use the phrasing of the ed language to get out of his binding agreement. there is no doubt that this guy was gaming the system. there was no good faith here. </p>
<p>lastly, even though you think ed is elitist, you certainly took advantage of it yourself. the world is elitist, even in socialist societies. if you think that’s a bad policy, instead of trying to bash me over the head with it, you should divert your energies to building a rocket to mars where its population is truly non elitist.</p>
