When I was 22 I was pretty much the Bleedin' Heart Liberal myself. Sure, I was going to school on the GI bill and working a low pay job, but liberal is just the way kids go when there aren't any real responsibilities.

Cut the kid some slack. s/he may turn out just fine.

I ♣ my seal

You sure whine like a four year old girl.

Of course you have no clue what I'm saying.  I merely mentioned that you are totally rude and out of place to come here and WAVE YOUR WANKER around like a four year old boy trying to get some attention.   Come here and try to school the members?  Bawahaha, sonny.

Is that too hard for you to understand?

As for my "catch phrases"....it takes someone with more of an IQ than you apparently have to comprehend (does your mummy pin your IQ on your shirt so you can remember how to count to 25?).

Finally....my sn is Blonde.  I have no clue what you are trying to get at with your botch job, nor do I care.  But for crying out loud, troll-boy, try to keep up!

David Gregory, do you know which damn network you lie for? ~ Uncle Jimbo, @Blackfive

TheGingerman,

It's not baseless, just true.

Well, how can one argue with that? From now us, just let us know which of your statements are true so we all know which ones we shouldn't expect you to back up with,... well, you know,... an actual argument.

By the way, are all the child psychologists who suggest that reasonable physical discipline can be an effective method for raising children lazy as well or just stupid?

Oh, but wait - you mean there might be parents out there who spank their kids because they think it's an effective means of imposing discipline and not because they are lazy and too stupid to approach the problem from another angle?

Gee - guess your initial generalization did amount to an assumption.

Um yeah. My husband is in debt close to 40K for college even after pell grants and scholarships. Please try again.

First of all, you act as if you mentioned the 22-years-old-and-proud-to-be-in-the-demo-to-watch-Rachel-Maddow line in isolation.  Had that been the case, the comment would have been fine.  But your snide little "65 and dead" comment (not to mention other comments throughout the thread of similarly smug ignorance) suggests that you're not as intelligent as you think you are and that you feel the need to use your status as a college student to appear morally superior.  Sorry, but I'm not about to indulge your fragile little ego.  Now to address some of your other retorts...

And lastly, what "countless gov't grant programs?" Oh you mean Pell Grant and Cal Grant (because I live in CA). Wow, thank you so much. They are just about enough to pay for my books and housing. The debt, just so you know, is for my tuition and housing. And why the hell would I have debt if I had my dad's money?!?! I'm sorry but that's just a dumb remark. And the California university system actually gets most it's funding from private corporations. So thank you Qualcomm, f- you Mr. Fong. Don't need your money.

So, you've taken on $40,000 in debt to help fund your education.  Do you want a cookie?  We all take on a certain amount of personal risk and hardship in the hopes of bettering ourselves...the great thing about this country is that we have the opportunity to seek alternative solutions to fulfill our dreams and desires.  You're not that special.  But it's interesting to know how "grateful" you are to the American taxpayer for helping to fund your education.  I'm so sorry that my efforts and the labors of other American workers are only sufficient to pay for your books and housing.  Perhaps collectively we're not working hard enough for you?  Maybe if we stopped over-burdening ourselves with the well-being of our own families, we would submit to more taxes so that we can take care of your tuition and fraternity dues, as well?  I never mentioned your dad's money, so your question on that issue is a non sequitur.  To the extent that private corporations take it upon themselves to subsidize your education...congratulations to them.  But your suggestion that you don't need my money is laughable.  Tell me, genius, why is it that tuition at a public university is less than tuition at a private institution?  Could it have anything to do with the fact that the American taxpayer partially offsets the cost of State University tuition through taxes?  I'll remember that you don't need my money the next time I have to go to the county to pay property taxes.  Oh, and lets not forget the aforementioned government grants you receive to pay for your books and housing.  In short you don't need my money because you already have my money.  No thanks necessary.

And for your information, most people attending medical school comes out with 100K debt. Those damn doctors and their parasitic lifestyle. Why can't everyone afford a college education without government help and maintain the status quo. Damn me for my need to better myself, become a useful member of society, and become the "parasite" I am destined to be.

I don't doubt that students often emerge from medical school with triple digit debt.  And I don't imagine it helps their financial situations that they have to pay such high malpractice insurance premiums...courtesy of their parasitic trial lawyer friends.  The barriers to entry to the medical profession are prohibitively high...and in a way, that's not a bad thing.  If you know ahead of time the kind of commitment you're going to have to make to become a doctor...and you still decide to pursue that line of work knowing the hurdles...that speaks well of your desire to succeed in that profession.  If, however, you see these barriers to entry and determine that it is the American taxpayer's responsibility to get you where you want to be...well, if the parasite shoe fits... 

"Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it." -Ronald Reagan
