PAY children to go to school!

[fandango]

Who says their health care system is collapsing. The same kind of morons who say there is no human caused global warming? And any problems they may be having with their health care system is most likely due to them leting all those sand negroes (can I say "nigers" around here?) they stupidly let into their country.

Next, the only thing that might make my idea "moronic" is when so many things are made in other countries. Otherwise, unless the children put their pay into a bank, it would just go back into our economy. I already brought up the universal health care that most developed countries provide for free. (You would be surprised by some of the countries that do so) Well paying children for their school "work" would cost far less.

Who says their health care system is collapsing.

Reality.

Do you mean the same kind of "reality" that says that during WW II, the Germans were the bad guys? If you want to know some real realities about health care, watch the documentary "Sicko." I don't agree with everything it says. But it does make some very good points.

No, the reality that their heath care system is busting their budget and making people wait in long lines for sub par care.

If you want to know some real realities about health care, watch the documentary "Sicko."

Did Moore say we needed to be more like Cuba?

Busting their budget? BS

Does that mean you saw the documentary or not. But don't tell me here. If you want to talk about universal health care, I just started a thread for that in the healthcare section. It is called "How to afford universal health care." Tell me if you ever saw "Sicko" there.

I wouldn't waste your money on any of Moore's crap.

Is that how you usually resolve issues? Close your eyes? Try watching it. You might learn something.

In paying for universal health care in England, that isn't how it was done.

Their healthcare system is collapsing.

So why would you think what you said is how it should be done to pay children for their school "work."

Your "idea" is moronic.

[The Sage of Main Street]

Sure, those who don't want to be recruited and get a high student salary by signing a contract can always live like teenagers afraid to grow up, working part-time low-wage jobs to pay for their dreary student lifestyle, if that's what they believe "freedom" means.

There shouldn’t be a student salary to begin with. I never had a job as a high schooler or while in college (except summers). My job was going to school and my pay was the food, clothing and shelter my parents provided.

The Way You Stole a Job From Someone More Talented Who Wanted to Grow Up

Living off Mommy and Daddy will stunt the maturity of anyone over 18.

The Way You Stole a Job From Someone More Talented Who Wanted to Grow Up

Living off Mommy and Daddy will stunt the maturity of anyone over 18.

I went away to college at age 18. I spent my one summer at home, working. When I moved back home after graduation (Assoc. Degree), I paid room and board to my parents for 3 years before I got my own place.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

[L]Sounds like your dad was pretty fucked up. All that aside, don't you think it would have caused a little less strife if you actually got paid to go to school?

Not at all. Both of my parents were professional educators for parts of their working lives.

There would have been far more strife if I’d been paid. My attitude toward school wouldn’t have changed, but there wouldn’t have been anything to hold me accountable. I’d have been dead or in prison before I turned 19 instead of off to college and a career that’s allowed me to support myself and my family.

Why would that have caused more strife. Because your parents would have said "We didn't get it, why should you?" To which, if you were smart enough, you could have replied with "Things change." Next, if you got used to having a little extra cash, that would have held you accountable. Also, what if you were actually PAID to go to college. Don't you think that would have made it a little more likely to happen?

Plutes Never Walk Their Talk

Slavish college graduates who make a lot of money are more likely to subconsciously admit they should have been paid when they give their brats a high allowance and paid-up tuition. So we shouldn't believe their preaching, because they don't practice it by telling their privileged spawn what they push on everybody else, "Work your way through college. If you can't stand living like that, join the Army and get the GI Bill."

SPAM alert. 10,000,000,000,000 times the same bullshit. Students are NOT going to be paid to go to school no matter how many times you spam your spam. People with any sense will continue to see the value of education.

Time to Quit Whining and Make Some Vintage Wine

Tell that to the hypocritical Plutocrats, who make sure Junior has an allowance that is equivalent to having a full-time job. That, of course, has nothing to do with merit. It's just another unearned entitlement for those who win at Sperm Bingo.

The rules the dynastics make to give their worthless spawn an overwhelming advantage would be nullified in a man's country. We far outnumber those spoiled pukes and can crush them like grapes.

If you want to relate that to education, admit the fact that a doctor doesn't earn a living until he is 26 years old. So he is a Mama's Boy who was afraid to grow up. All that produces is crooks, quacks, and crackpots.

Worst inferiority complex ever ^^^^^^

Using a psychiatric term, you are citing permanently immature quacks who didn't earn a living until they were 30 years old.

If only we paid them to go to college. Then your argument wouldn't hold much weight. Also, if their parent's weren't rich, they wouldn't have massive student loans to pay off. Which as I'm sure you know, would be making any "living" they were making after graduating much less. And who knows for how long. Unfortunately, our whole economic system revolves around debt.

Oh, if only everything where the idiotic communist fantasies of some ignorant buffoon.

What a crime that the children of rich people have their parents pay to buy them a new car, while less wealthy people have to take out an auto loan and pay it back overtime to buy a car for themselves. Both need a car, each gets one in the way they are able according to their situation. Oh, what a crime oh wait, it’s not a crime, it’s just fucking life. Get over it.

[Pogo]

I know what it is like for any slave loving capitalist out there. They all want something for nothing. You expect children to learn learn learn (often bullshit) for free. (I say sarcastically) "That's right. Crack that fuckin whip!" Then there are all of the parent's expenses. Such as providing their children with things like shoes. Which as a small child I remember having to go a whole summer without. As you can imagine, on rainy days it was even more unplesant.

Like it or not, we live in a push button instant gratification world. And you expect children to go through 12 years of school work for nothing? That's obscene! Also, many children don't get any sort of allowance at all. Though as a child, I used to. Every sunday we were given fifty cents to go see a movie. Which wasn't much.

But what if children were actually paid to go to school. They would likely do better. It doesn't have to be a lot like an adult would expect. And if I was paid, I could have gone to the movies every day if I wanted. Or buy other things. Which would stimulate the economy. Or maybe they could save their money to buy something more expensive. Such as maybe a birthday present for mom. It would also get children used to the whole work ethic thing. They do school WORK and get a salary for it.

This should extend even to college. Where we would pay them even more to go. So they might be able to afford to drive or take girls on dates. In taking this route, more would be likely to go to college. And having more college educated people would be good for society on the whole.

Also, I have heard that this country has a shortage of nurses. Well pay these students a little more if necessary to go into that line of study. Though once that shortage is solved, that increased pay would be less.

Good idea. I'm owed a lot of back pay. I'll take it in a lump sum.

Mostly for pain and suffering.

We do pay them to go to school. We pay them with room and board, clothing, computers, video games, phones, bikes, toys, comic books, model kits, trading cards, and cars.

Going to school is an awesome job and you still get paid even if you suck at it.

Their parents provide many of those things. Not the government. Neither is that the same thing as an actual salary. For the children to do with as they wish.

Most people don't get paid by the government and they seem to make it just fine.

I tell you what ... give kids a government stipend, paid directly to their accounts, and parents can bill them for everything they provide ... see how far that $15,000 a year goes.

Well the children WOULD be paid by the government. And the whole idea isn't about "making it" in any way. It is just some incentive. I think it's time that you stopped expecting all those children to do school WORK for free.

I think it's already been established that they aren't doing it for free. I prefer to stick with the time-tested and well-established method for motivating children to excel in school.

Except that wasn't a plastic ruler, it was a long wooden stick, the original analogue pointer, with a bullet-shaped rubber tip on the end. And all it "motivated" was learning to have quick reflexes, because when the Penguin was on the other side of the room using that stick to whack the shit out of a child, that bullet-shaped rubber point came off and would carom in unpredictable directions.
