They would rather pretend to be making a larger point...but being certain to throw in pleasant adjectives like crappy.

Even if used in a mock analogy about a car...the real meaning behind it is simply a shot. A somewhat shameful shot at that.

Have you ever lived in poverty?

No. I grew up in Frayser. Right next door.

Quote:I was looking around for something to watch a few nights ago. Decided to watch Undefeated not knowing it was about Mannassas football.

My impressions where mixed. Loved the coach and that it shows the true state of HS football in the city but still I can't help but notice how unpridefull the residents where of where they lived.

I have been in other impoverished neighborhoods and that was one of the most trashed. What do you think about the movie and my observations?

Your exact quote. You said nothing about having pride in oneself. You said having pride in the neighborhood. Two completely different things
