Seriously 562 Rez, what did you just say? Some one is obviously a drop out or just plain stupid. Learn to read and write. Our country gets more dumb every day, because of people like you.

Spell check, if your are going to criticize, then do it in the right context. First off, "some one" is ONE word, NOT two - It should be "someone." How you like them apples? Please HR, this clown did not bring anything to the table except grammatical errors and nit-picking. At least 562 shed some light on his city and the happenings around it. Why did you even let this comment through? Are you instigating a back-and-forth fight?

The post from 562 Rez is unintelligable. Poor spelling and grammar.
Just how do people like "562 Rez" get through school? Do they even have a clue that these comments are read by an international audience and impressions are everything?

I think 562 Rez is doing that crap intentionally. He thinks if he writes that way, which is the same way he tries to talk, that he'll have more street 'cred'. Actually it's childish and annoying and in my opinion part of the pathology of this culture. See, if you sound educated, well 'dat jes aint coo'. If you turn and walk away from a fight, well you jes a bxtch and yo got punkkED'. And the music too, well it's mostly a celebration of gang culture,treating women like 'hoes', and showing off the bling you accumulated from selling drugs.. Small wonder then that we have the problems we do within this culture. No positive role models whatsoever. Very sad.
