If we had more users posting, you would just ignore the stupid entries and move on to the next reply. Since that isn't happening, you wind up dwelling on the last retarded thing somebody said while you wait hours (days, even) for someone else to contribute to the thread.
The reality of the situation is this: Most people who sign up for this board never bother to come back, those few that do, only lurk. Every once in a while, one of them will post (and make you wonder why in the hell they even bothered to begin with.) Catch-22.
What can be done about this? Not much, really. Stupid people will continue come and (hopefully) go. Those who think this forum is akin to message boards or chat rooms on AOL, Yahoo!, etc. will eventually be sifted out; either by neglect or ridicule. The kids who come here will eventually realize that most comments posted here about High School are tongue-in-cheek and made by people who graduated 5 to 10 years ago.
What we need to do is spread the word about the forum, and Calecia.com in general. It'll take some people time to get over the implied cholo connotation that comes with naming the site after Calecia, but they'll get over it. I no longer see the influx of cholos we had before.
We'll see how things turn out. Hopefully for the best.
Yeah, and maybe I'm a Chinese jet pilot. |
Are you suggesting that people have read Catch-22.
People from Calexico, CA.
On their own. |
Even those that haven't read the book, know what people mean by the saying, "Catch-22". |

No they don't.
They just say it because they heard some else say it.
You assume that Calecianos have common sense. Before you get all butt hurt I do understand what your saying but that only applies to 1% or less of the Clx population.
People are straight up dumb in this town.
I mean how else do you explain a senior reading at a 4th grade level. I think the average high school student has a 4.7 reading level. Last time I checked most parents in CLX didnt have a high school diploma. Maybe a GED.
I just call it like I see them. |

I guess that could be true.

Not all of them...just a select few.

No argument here.

Poor educational standards and achievement.

And, unfortunately, even those with higher education aren't very intelligent. |
