Is this what you would call a troll?

I rightfully called you out on saying offensive things in private and then getting scared when a potential employer may find out and I got called troll, and millenial. (still don't understand out it's an insult, jcountry)

More on topic, I hope this is a lesson to you. You can hide and delete all you want, but if you post something on the internet, chances are it can still be dug up somewhere.

Maybe keep that in mind the next time you decide to share your racist and homophobic memes. Have a good day!

I'm 31 and IMO those in my high school graduating class who skipped college and went with a trade are on average way further ahead than those of us who went to college, had to take out student loans, and had no chance at a modest income throughout our 20s. I know several guys in that boat who were able to take advantage of the housing downturn and buy cheap homes so that they could come out way ahead in equity and not have any amount of crushing college debt. That is huge for those wanting to settle down and start a family before they get on the other side of 35.

calling others trolls just because they have a different opinion though? classy.

The question “troll much?” is a question regarding an action, not name-calling.

What’s my opinion? That’s right. You don’t know.

There is at least one case in front of Supreme court now regarding what Government can do.

Unfortunately it has already been established that Private companies can access pretty much anything you do with your electronic devices and credit cards and personal travel. I will admit that I don't know what level of "intent of use" they must have to acquire this data.
While I consider it outrageous, the only protection we have against a corporations intrusion is the US postal service. Electronic media, including emails, don't have this level of assumed privacy.
