From a contractor vouching for his cabinet's sturdiness to a guy showing a police officer how sober he is, these people were brave enough to do whatever it takes in the name of truth. Scroll down to check out the effort it sometimes takes to convince others, and vote for your favorite submissions!

I guess Liao is his last name. On the paper it seems to read is first name is Michael :-). But yes, way to go!! Awesome guy!
Load More Replies...I don't know why, but this photo just filled my eyes with tears of pure happiness for you, dude! Congratulations and keep it going!
I don't really understand the selection process of US universities... I've been told it doesn't require any tests, but rather an interview and background check, and the results are rather subjective, depending mostly on whether the selection board thinks you have potential, kinda like a job interview... Is that really how it goes?
There are standardized academic tests (SAT, ACT) as well as an application, letters of reference and/or interviews.
Load More Replies...F**k yeah!!!! I was told I could only go to community college. Not only did I go straight to university, but now I'm 2 months away from completing my masters. Doctorate here I come!
I hope that letter gave you enormous satisfaction. It gave me enormous satisfaction.
Congratulations! This has to feel so good. See guys, he is smarter than you!
You're still going to end up paying about $20k on top of your GI Bill for tuition
How could anyone look at you and think you couldn't get into any university you chose?
Be proud in what you have accomplished and be humble to those who doubted you. You've just left them with egg on their face.
Now Graduate and send them a copy of your degree! Rock it, Sgt Liao!
Congratulations. Be careful what you wish for. Your Marines training will help. It's like Marines but for the brain, so keep that mindset. I graduated with a couple guys who had deferred Princeton to serve as Marines and I have utmost respect. Ugh. -P.K., Class of '85
Congratulations! Always follow YOUR path, as you again prevailed(I'll wager this was not the 1st time).
You go Sarge... Never let other peoples voices drownd yours. They are not 'good' Marines if they said that to you. Marines should known better than to step on someones dream..
I am so proud of you, and you do your country proud! (from a 3rd generation military spouse)
I bet it's because you're Asian. They know that their're not good enough, so they tried to discourage you. In their faces!
Show those Yanks at Princeton Liao, that the world does not revolve around them.
Christ J.E., are you an eighth grader? Here I thought you were an adult with some kind of weird anti social tendencies and now I just believe you're some kind of pimply faced kid. Good God what the hell is your deal? I actually almost started to think you might have a modicum of intelligence but had something wrong with you because you're a troll but now it's just that you're a kid?? Jesus.

I think that condom guy should dump his girlfriend if she distrusts him that much.
#3 that doesn't mean you're good at cooking. It just means your artistic. To prove you can cook you have to actually COOK something. #7 Maybe your girlfriend is colorblind. It's rare for women but possible.
