instead of college you (random joe out of high school) work for 3 years
Replace "instead of" with "after" and you've got the beginnings of a very good idea.

Being born in America isn't an ironclad promise you will have an easy life.
No, in fact, thanks in large part to weak-willed, spineless apologists such as yourself, it's quickly becoming an ironclad promise you'll have a miserable life. That is, a place that's ridiculously expensive to live in where you'll be lucky if you can get a job and scrape together enough money to afford the rent on a refrigerator box. For additional points, every other country protects it's own citizens and severely restricts immigration so that Americans have nowhere else to go even while our government encourages even more immigration!
Well, hey, why stop at an 80-hour work week? Why not just go straight to the 168-hour work week? You may be willing to accept the wonky air-conditioner, but the guy down the street with three starving kids will accept no air conditioner and minimum wage, so you better be prepared to be competitive. Yay lack of standards!

Uh, what's your problem with college degrees (other than the fact that you don't have one?) You must believe one of two things: a) college degrees are unobtainable except by very smart people, in which case it makes perfect sense to require one for a job that requires smart people or b) a trained monkey can complete a college degree, in which case you're not even demonstrably smarter than a trained monkey - in which case why should anybody want to hire you?
Yep, nothing says "not greedy" like supporting the Democrats who will take other people's money and give it to you so you don't even have to work for it.
Well, (obviously) the ones who do something about it did something about it and are no longer obese. Ironic that somebody with such a tenuous grasp on (fundamental) logic is calling somebody else "ignorant". Since "bigot" in 21st century English just means "somebody I disagree with", I'll give you that one.
If we were all as awesome as you we could live in Ayn Rand's utopia.
Well, then, step one would be agreeing with him and doing as he says. You seem to be a big fan of being told what to do. What's that? Oh, you don't want to be told what you can and can't do, you just think everybody else should be.
and the schedule can be anything you want, as long as it says 'done by next Tuesday'. Good thing it costs me the same whether you work nights and weekends or not, isn't it!"
There are convoluted rationalizations for why this is so, but they are so insane that I will not bother to reproduce them here.
You don't have to - there's a flood of lunatic posters on this thread stating those same rationalizations as if they were fundamental laws of the universe. You'll always be disappointed if you underestimate the power of mass stupidity.
You'd have a point if you could find one person who said both things. There are multiple people that post here, you know, with a wide variety of opinions.
the security officer was not amused and said he would have to take my camera and arrest me
In what the hell jurisdiction does a security guard have the right to arrest somebody? Or confiscate their property? If they can do it, anybody can... I think I'm going to go arrest somebody right now.

I read that a lot - "why buy a book when there's so much information online for free?" I wonder if some people (like me) just suffer from more eyestrain when reading on a computer. I find reading printed documentation less painful on the eyes than onscreen documentation, so I prefer it... do you not notice any difference? Just curious.

separate books on dd, ls, df, free, etc?
Dude, seriously? Where? Cool!
Oh, wait, you were being sarcastic. Dammit. Don't get my hopes up like that.
Well, privacy wasn't a concept back then, but neither were webcams. I figure that if they had known that, in the future, it would be possible to install a camera to spy on really hot chicks undressing, Ben Franklin at the very least would have added a special constitutional amendment about how "Congress shall make no law abridging the right of nerdy guys to install cameras that spy on really hot chicks undressing", so maybe it's not illegal after all.
Freedom of speech is ignored, that's what. If you believe in libel, you don't believe in free speech. Just because the government does it, doesn't make it right.

Um... that actually sounds like a really, really good idea to apply to programmers.

You're not thinking like a proper socialist. You don't eliminate people's freedom of choice, you just eliminate other people's freedom of choice.

And the majority of your post was an attempt at a thread hijack to get people frothing at white people. Pot, meet kettle.
Probably, although ironically it appears that enforcing that particular law is also a felony or at least strictly prohibited.
