Well, I was a SAR and Mountain Rescue volunteer for a few years, and we all thought the government assistance from the Sheriff's Office was pretty cool. We got a neat little headquarters and helicopters and hovercrafts and shit. I'm not sure how that resulted in less freedom for anybody, or government restrictions either. Back then, it just seemed like it resulted in way better operations and more saved lives, with less risk to rescuers. But, I don't know a lot about these things. Maybe you're right, maybe we were oppressing people with government restrictions and I just wasn't involved in those missions.

"Mariners kill themselves after losing." That's pretty much the same news story I've been reading since I was a kid.

Looks like fun!

funny because whenever I say the same stuff you dismiss whatever I say. Either you are really confused (a real possibility in view of your flip-flopping and poor thinking) or you just want to attack me. dude, who DOESN'T want to attack you these days? You're so uptight I bet you don't even get wet dreams.

cool story, bro.

I.E. -- the status quo is just fine!

+1. Everything is just fine the way it is! Conservatism at its finest. Yeah, that's what everyone is saying. Great "analytical skills". Here's a clue - when people (or internet bots) are constantly harping on how their hair is on fire and the crisis is at hand signifies imminent disaster, the response will typically be to debunk that bullshit. Um, that IS what you and Jay are saying, and the charts you keep posting -- you are saying that there is no problem, and that things are fine the way they are. Am I wrong? Then tell us, what problems do you see regarding public postsecondary education and its access in the U.S. -- because it sounds like you and Jay keep defending that the current system is just fine. After all, we're "no worse than any other industrialized nation."

Wait, what are you guys arguing about again?

I care about kids, just like Bill.

I've seen stoners eat raw top ramen. That can't be good for you. I hope they washed that shit down with a mountain dew at least.

Or, would you only tell him that if he was poor? If he's rich, then he gets to be a doctor.

So, if a young man asked for your advise, you'd tell him that attending a trade school was "just as good" as attending university, and that he can make just as much money without a diploma in either case, if he "just tries hard enough?" Is that about right?

yeah. One time I spilled my bag of Doritos RIGHT ON THE FLOOR.

Duh, that's what this bill proposes.

We have real good MJ-infused baked goods up here, too. Better, from what I understand.

It's the whole "the poor can just pull themselves up by their bootstraps" myth.

JayB, I'm too lazy to read all your comments, but are you really arguing that the poor don't really need college, anyway? If so, you're a total douche. It's kind of hard to imagine you wouldn't think a college education is a good idea for, well, pretty much anyone. The reason the republicans and the well-to-do don't want free college for everyone is because they know they won't be able to exploit the middle and lower class worker quite as much. It's all about investors, you know -- employees are just chattel. The LAST thing republicans want is any sort of upward mobility. Ironic that their biggest supporters are the very ones stuck under their boot.

I used to be quite poor. My son's birth was paid for entirely by medicaid. Social services really helped me and my family get on my feet until I didn't need help anymore. I can't imagine why anybody would think these services don't genuinely help people. I suspect they are heavy on opinion, and light on fact.

That shit will make your outie an innie.

Yes, but who's ass is more disgusting -- Serena Williams, or Kim Kardashian?

SERVICE GOON!

Pretty sure it's "affect." But I always get these two confused. http://public.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/affect.html
