Depends on where you go to school. My local university is $2000 a semester. It isn't prestigious in the least, but I took out only one loan in my time there, and I was able to work my way through the rest. Why these kids demand to got to prestigious schools for vocations that are not in demand is befuddling.
I still think your article is suspect, so you'll need to find another one or do some more research to make a convincing point.
I don't have the time to sort the same public records The Daily Caller did. I did a search to find anyone disputing their findings, and either my Google-fu is weak, or there is not yet any dispute of that article. Note that the article was front page on many new sites last week, so it's gotten exposure.
And, for the record, both wages and rents are much higher in NYC than almost any other city in the United States. If you pay $1,850 for an apartment in NYC, it's probably 200-400 square feet.
Part of living within your means is where you choose to live. This is why I disembarked at Augusta, GA: one of the lowest costs of living in the US. I also made the decision to go to a jumped-up commuter-college-turned-state-university rather than over-borrow for a more prestigious school. These are choices that have done well for me, and anyone could have made them.
Why can you not get it through your thick skulls that a very tiny minority of troublemakers (some anarchists, some planted sabateurs) do NOT REPRESENT the rest of the group?
This is part of why you're polling worse than the tea party right now. No one listens to an argument while being insulted, even if the argument is correct. Also, nice use of the No True Scotsman fallacy.
Feudalism was a form of government where lords decided what was distributed to the poor. It was the rise of the merchant class that ended it. What you're proposing is the return of feudalism, with technocrats in the place of lords.
This is a war between rich parents who created the wealth, and the rich children who cannot sustain it. All I have are anecdotes, but I saw a lot of people complaining about being $100K in debt. How the hell do you do burn that much cash if you're "lower class"? That's more than I earn in a year.
All they have are first world problems. They wouldn't know poverty if it came up to them asking for change. Mostly because they chased all the homeless people out of Zuccoti.
Given the market penetration of.NET as opposed to Silverlight, I think this is utter nonsense. And now that Oracle is screwing the pooch vis-à-vis Java, you can expect more.NET, not less.
"The English language owes a great debt to Shakespeare. He invented over 1700 of our common words by changing nouns into verbs, changing verbs into adjectives, connecting words never before used together, adding prefixes and suffixes, and devising words wholly original."
I'm pretty sure that verbing nouns and nouning verbs is against the "rules" of English (as they are determined by consensus). But now they're words, because someone started using it, and other people used it, too.
English changes by consensus. At no point in its history has any lingual purist arrested its mutation against the will of the masses. When everyone starts using "irregardless" as a word, it's a word. Regardless of what you think.
"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary." -- James Nicoll

Perhaps I misspoke when I said "you're." I should have said "they're" in reference to the protesters.
You mean they don't work through college anymore? An interesting notion...
There's always more room in George Soros's pocket.

Err... define "threaten."
The average OWS'er lives in a much nicer house than me, but you don't see me shitting on their front lawn about it.
All they have are first world problems. They wouldn't know poverty if it came up to them asking for change. Mostly because they chased all the homeless people out of Zuccoti.
Please explain how.
They probably learned their lesson when Little Bobby Tables signed up for G+.
Obligatory xkcd.
Compare the number of shootings at OWS and the Tea Party and get back to us.

Try grade B. Seriously. Same thick consistency, but with real flavor and deliciousness that cannot be beat.
You can get 32oz. of grade B syrup from Vermont on Amazon for $20. It's what I use for baking.
Can you? If P!=NP, then logic dictates you will not be able to do it in polynomial time.
That's why they say that if you could do it in polynomial time, then P=NP.
...in finding the exact amount of maple syrup I need to pour on a pancake stack to ensure that my bacon is accidentally covered in it.
Because I would never intentionally put maple syrup on my bacon; that's barbaric.

Or, as they may say, irregardless.
Yes. Now we can all use Vim.

Eventually it will be a word, just like "inflammable." The English language moves on. So should you--err, I mean, so shouldst thou.
