So what you just said is that you either don't care or don't know. I'm not going to work in order to prove your point (I'm not going to find the articles or go to Germany), you have to prove it yourself (I will read the articles that you post). And if you don't care enough to prove it then why did you bother saying "no you're wrong" in the first place?

They were only in slums because they couldn't afford to live in a better place. IE, someone with a job took the better spot so they couldn't afford it. If you eliminate jobs you eliminate the motive for profit and so people will not be in slums because they will be able to "afford" a better house.

I consider myself to be an educated person (high school and college diploma) and I have no idea who he is either. I guess it depends on what you mean by "educated". If you mean "educated culturally", then no, I'm certainly not (though I'm working to remedy that). But by and large when people say educated they mean a general scholastic education. Or you're just a troll. Since you're posting under AC I strongly suspect you are, but I figured I'd give you the benefit of the doubt.
by simply firing you and hiring somebody else in at 2/3 the cost
I found out the other day that doing that isn't actually legal (at least in CA). If you fire someone you can't immediately hire someone else to do the same job for a cheaper wage.
Um... Logic is not true simply because a lot of people say it is. That's the nice thing about it. Logic is true when it's true, and false when it's false, regardless of opinion.
Sounds like cruel and unusual punishment (well, unusual punishment anyway). Personally I think it's a lovely idea, but I don't think something like that is legal...
That actually sounds like it may work. Schools would have an real reason to give a good education (or at least tailor it to the job market), and schools that gave a bad education would eventually run out of money because no one could pay back the loans.
It's possible to take the money you pay on student loans off your taxes when you file returns (or maybe just interest, I'm not sure). But I suppose that's a little different from "pre-taxes"
I wish I had an answer for that honestly.... I don't know. I suppose we have a case here of "I don't agree with your method but I don't have anything better".
But in the meantime thousands of highschool graduates who can't go to college will end up working dead ends jobs and probably become criminals. Both need to be phased out at the same time.
Why aren't loan applications also judged by school studies, performance and real-world expectations for paying them back?
Because then you'd get people crying about discrimination against certain majors (regardless if it actually exists, people WILL complain about it, and loudly).
Heh that's an interesting idea. However most student loans are at least $20,000... I dunno about you, but even with the 3 credit cards I have I wouldn't even get close to that before I hit the card limits.
I am not saying that you're wrong, but I am curious as to why you say this. My understanding was that American law stops at our borders (at least legally, illegally is of course an entirely different thing). Could you explain in further depth please?
Ok now I'm really really curious and actually want to read the article... But I'm at work:(

Excel is the corporate database management system where table joins are done by hand by interns.
Please tell me this doesn't actually exist...

Maybe in your country. Not where I'm from. Where is he then? Didn't he get arrested?

I dunno about the rest of the country, but when I graduated this was not the case for everyone in my graduating class...

Seconded. Last I heard he was in jail.....

Well I was talking more about senators-the president isn't elected by popular vote.
Well it is possible to go to a credit union, where you DO get to vote. Parent is not entirely correct, but not for the reason you gave.
I highly doubt any corporation is interested in the best direction for the world. They're more interested in profit.
Probably a lot shorter today....
It's possible that their data is 4 years old and it's taken them that long to collate it into a single list.
Apparently you only read the first half of that paragraph. Go back, read it again, and you'll (possibly) understand what parent was talking about.
