D.C. Lawmakers Propose Requiring Students to Apply to College

[Full-Auto]

Tell us all again how we should bring back "political assassinations" like you said yesterday, ya whackadoodle assed racist.

Tell us how together you really are.

Then tell us how uber awesome you are at using your pointer finger to pull a trigger - how much of a man that makes you and what not.....let us know, g'head!

Different discussion. But I am glad to see I have climbed under your skin.

Yea, really deep under there - so much so that I read and respond to your posts in a condescending manor; you know, sort of like the same exact thing you're doing to mine.

You keep responding. To the point of desperation. We only need to back track a few posts for proof.

Run along junior!!

This forum is mostly just people desperately trying to get the last post in to claim victory. This is the best use of their time, as it keeps them distracted from the real problem, which they are ironically a part of because they won't get off their asses and actually do something.

This law won't pass. But I don't see how it would be a bad thing if it did.

Of course you don't. You never see anything wrong with taking a person's freedom. Nor do you see any proble with the Federal governent usurping power that was never given to them.

College is clearly the only way someone can be educated. People should be forced to pay thousands of dollars so Democrat contributers can give them more. Anyone who doesnt go to college is an idiot.

Except most of the greatest minds of human history never attended a college. There goes that theory.

Elitist mentality to be sure.

The idea, in and of itself, I don't see as bad. But there are a few problems I have with it at this time.

1. Our education system, as it currently exists, does not offer enough good avenues. As was mentioned, we don't have enough trade schools and such opportunities. That is something that we need more of in this country, but probably won't happen any time soon. We need a fundamental restructuring of our attitudes and approaches to building opportunities for the young generations to prepare themselves to become self sustaining members of the workforce. Until then, this measure is putting the cart before the horse.

2. College applications take money. I'm not inclined to support a measure that would force low income families to drop $150 on application fees that they might not be able to readily afford, especially when they aren't going to be able to go to college even if they get accepted.

Considering that the bulk of the liberal democrat voting block is uneducated poverty stricken minorities

Which is why Obama got elected on the backs of educated, upper middle class swing voters.

Kid, quit being stupid for at least two minutes in a row.

Government has no business mandating anything like this.

So much for the 'let local governments run local school systems' notion. Perhaps the federal government has no place, but the local boards of education and the states have that right and responsibility.

Unless the entirety of the United States public school system is now in the Conservative's cross-hairs. And that would bolster the perception of education really being the natural enemy of Conservatives.

Good thing D.C has solved all their other problems, huh?

This is a solution without a problem.

Yeah, they can do what they like -- I don't live there, thank Gaea.

But I reserve the right to voice my opinion, if that's okay with you.

And even if it's not.

That's an argument born out of intellectual lassitude. School districts and their decisions are not weighed on a sliding scale against other problems communities face.

If their solution of holding a workshop to instruct students in the college application procedures succeeds, maybe unemployment, crime and poverty could be solved in the bargain. I don't live in D.C. either. And I don't live where Conservatives who dismiss education so blithely run anything too, thank God!

You lefties sure have been getting a lot of mileage out of the "conservatives hate education!!" meme lately.

Oh, yeah, that's right -- you're all intelligent, independent thinkers who just coincidentally happen to arrive at the same conclusions at the same time.

Oh no, not the natural enemy of conservatism, EDUCATION!

The enemy of freedom is the universities teaching that socialism is the way to go. That is why the idiots want it mandatory to apply, so they can brainwash more kids to their sick way of thinking. Any dimwit support this makes them idiots on steroids. Idiots.

I'm sure you think linking to a Wiki page about math proves you're really smart -- but it doesn't.

Considering you're such an expert on raising children -- when was the last time you raised a child?

Avoidance on behalf of him? How about letting him answer the damn question.

i would guess that if you had actually gotten an education you'd know that has no relationship to reality.
