Something our politicians would do well to bear in mind.

This is BS. I know several people from dirt poor families that busted their butts and moved from crap into upper class. If you have personal drive anything is possible.

You missed the point, the people in the front row, those who are privileged don't need to "bust their butts" to achieve their goal. The people in the back row must work harder and do better to succeed with their goal.

i would've got up, moved my seat next to the can, and then just dropped it in.

The REAL point is that instead of doing something about it, they just sat there and complained that they didn't have what someone else had. You don't just become "privileged", someone had to work for it. Just because no one in YOUR family busted their butt so you could have a better life, it doesn't mean that you should just complain about it. Someone has to make the effort and apparently Fenrisulven doesn't get that; someone had to work their butt off to get to the level of "privilege". Bob6800 DID get it. Do something about it, don't just sit there and fucking complain like a douchebag.

No, you have to stay at your desk, that's the rule. If you cheat then you are breaking the rules, i.e doing something illegal.

Sure they complained but they DID do something about it, they tried hard, aimed, and shot for their goal. If they missed, they missed.

The students in the back that got it in had "better" aim or more "luck" than those that didn't. So the REAL point is that the privileged kids in the front row didn't have to have as good aim or luck.

“To move into the upper class, all you must do is throw your wadded-up paper into the bin while sitting in your seat.”
