Could not possibly disagree more. Colleges are for-profit enterprises that are interested in making money above all else. They nickel and dime students at every possible opportunity, then they turn around and expect us to treat it like a privilege? I paid tens of thousands for my education. I'll drink when I want, I'll show up to classes when I want, I'll leave classes when I want, and the college can take its opinion of the matter and shove it right up its greedy fuckin' ass. I pay them for a service. They work for me. They are not doing me any favors.

What? Other than a tiny handful of technical colleges and secretarial schools and shit like that, 99% of colleges are registered non-profits, and a significant percentage of them are run directly as departments of the state.
So me paying a ton of money for my wife's bachelors and her masters means she should have thought that was a privilege?
How is buying something a privilege?
If you want to debate scholarship students that is one thing.

This thread just highlights how disconnected from reality two people are, I feel like I'm listening to a younger sibling tell me how the world is, as if they're some authority, and at this point I cannot help but smugly grin and say "oh really?". This is what it felt like being an older brother 5 years ago when he was younger, and occasionally how I still feel when I talk to him. This thread is dead to me.
The shocking thing is she supposedly works at a university. On top of that she is totally women's lib but then paints women into this corner of stupidity and helplessness ... I just can't come to grips with it.
It is sad when the religious guy is more for these girls and boys to have a good time AND do school than a liberal hippy atheist.

I misunderstood. I thought you were for abolishing the legal drinking age as opposed to just lowering it. Heck, the legal drinking age here is 18, so if you're only gripe is that 21 is too high, well then fine. Just be aware that 18 is just as arbitrary as 21 in the end, and probably won't make much of a difference in terms of those under age still wanting to get drunk.

Pretty much all schools are heavily subsidized one way or another, pay no taxes, and all sorts of other perks from the government.
Seventy-one percent of all undergraduate students received some type of financial aid in the 2011-12 academic year.
These places need to start acting like schools. Actually educating the kids would be a good start. Most college professors fucking suck at teaching, have never passed a single class that teaches them how to actually teach students, and most classes are basically just students vomiting information onto a test and not learning anything in the process.

I just think that people should treat high school more like a privilege and less like a taxpayer subsidized make-out and finger-bang party.

I'd get a real job but URI is the only large employer in southern RI. I don't want to drive 40 fucking minutes both ways with the worst drivers in the country outside of DC.
