NSFW language, but as accurate of a statement as you will find about our nation. From a tv series I believe.

gotta love how they always throw defense spending in--just because it's HOLLYWOOD. of course, they never want to mention the fact that in HOLLYWOOD, everyone is paid WAY, WAY, WAY more than their counterparts anywhere else in the world (Bollywood, etc). Yet DEFENSE SPENDING is the ONE AREA where national funds SHOULD be spent--it's a function that cannot effectively be provided at any other level.Quote:

the video is down. I can't watch it. :(
The video is the opening scene from episode 1, season 1 "The Newsroom".
^^^^^Is NOT demotivating!!!

From some of the stories I've read about it, it was the guys friend who totalled it. Not sure I buy that. At any rate, not speeding, no drugs, no alcohol, gets ticketed for careless driving? Not sure I buy that. Car like that, all it would take it hitting a spot of black ice (they were in Colorado after all) and be easy to wreck like that, especially if unfamiliar with high powered RWD.Quote:

In Colorado, if you're in an accident, even if you didn't do anything specifically wrong, they'll give you careless driving... Ask me how I know lol
So fucking awesome!
Perhaps instead of enforcing the culture we have now, of going to college immediately after highschool, give a window of 6 years to start college, and when you do, you can put any loans you have on deferment (auto, home, etc). I think the biggest challenge anyone has is paying their debts while trying to go back to school. This isn't a great solution, and the interest would rack up, but they do it for the military when you join... perhaps extend that to kids that decide to defer college.Quote:

Or... Let's
A: Force a highschool class in buisness 101 to arm kids with the tools to decide if that college edumacation meets Cost vs Return. (80% does not)
B: Rein in the cost of an education, eliminate government subsidizing, actually bring value to the dollar spent for education.
OR...we need to stop trying to convince EVERYONE that higher education is they key to being gainfully employed. The gigantic myth of "well if you get a higher degree/s you'll get a better job" is a load of hogwash. You know what irony is? Celebrating getting your Master's degree at a bar & being served drinks by a bartender with a PhD in your field.
Worse, by pushing everyone towards "higher education", we've also forcibly dumbed-down the standards, which is why the USA educational system ranks so low in the world. And loans are a symptom of that--not the cause. If the pool of potential students is smaller (as in decades previous) the higher education system has to adapt or die. Instead, we push the majority of people into college--and we give out free student aid to most of them; which effectively raises the minimum threshold of cost--since EVERYONE has that money.
You want a proper educational system? First you establish standards on par with the Japanese. Then you make it FREE for everyone who maintains a 3.5 GPA or higher. Anyone with < 3.0 GPA goes on probation for a semester--and if they fail, they have to take a year off before being allowed to re-enroll in ANY college; AND they have to pay out of pocket (or find PRIVATE SECTOR loans).
P.S.
of course the NCAA will pitch a royal fit about it--but fuck em. The NCAA has done more to destroy the education system in the USA than any president ever has.
you know school is the only thing where loans are given out for 10's of thousands of dollars with no security for a return on payment for something that may or may not aide in the repayment of said loan. furthermore these loans are given to people with literally no credit or work history. can't imagine why that doesn't work out better.
that being said...

^ Pretty sure this is how colleges are using tuition money.
I had a nice long thing written up for this before my laptop crashed. In short, couple things to remember:
1) student loans are not forgiven and cannot be gotten rid of bankruptcy.
2) kids are told for 18 years that they have to go to college. You brainwash people for that long with that nonsense, tell them that there's no other way to get a job and not surprising that's where they go.
3) Colleges are big business now. Colleges get money based on how many kids pass, retention rate, etc. and are shoveled federal money for it ON TOP of charging other people for it. Of course the Fed doesn't want people to know about the high failure rate of college students (only around half of college students ever graduate, of those that do, only around half finish in 4 years.) Of course parents would be outraged if they knew these facts. High school and college advisors of course never mention it to students or parents.
Of course, when you have the majority of your workforce under the age of 40 still paying off loans in the tens of thousand of dollar range, they tend to bee just like worker bees. Quietly slaving away with whatever they're told to do. You don't have time for political activism when you're struggling just to keep above water. Helps keep things just the way they are.
Anyhow, back to teh funniez:
