I've figured out that being an asshole and being ignorant goes hand in hand.
My friend and I arrived at our health class early along with a few lower grade students (they were one grade below us). There was this woman sitting there working on her computer, and she was talking on the phone. She figured out that she had to leave now since the class was going to start soon. When she was packing her things, she started ranting about the program that I'm in along with the other students in there. The program is where you get a HS diploma and a 2 year college degree in 5 years. She said something on the lines of, "There's this faggot ass program where these sheltered mamma boys and girls are in where they need a safe place." She then went on to say, "When I was 18, I was in the Marines not this shit." (please note this isn't word for word). This whole thing kinda pissed me off. Like, I'm so sorry that we chose a different path than you. I wanted to ask her why she was in community college since she thought it was this faggot ass place for sheltered children. Apparently her Marine service didn't do much good, did it?
This story also brings up other another issue I have: people using their military service (or police service) to push people around. I've seen this numerous times, and a lot of people I know don't mind it. They sometimes take part in it, or defend someone who does do it. Just becasue you decided to join the military, doesn't mean you deserve ultimate respect or automatic respect. If you think that, you can piss off. This is why I don't have much respect for military (or police) because they use that as a crutch or a something to push people around. Of course not all are like that, but a lot of the ones I've seen, are.
