    you know, I always hear about this "grave injustice", and I will gladly say that blacks are unfailry jailed in relation to others, usually for drug crimes. But I really am getting sick and tired of that excuse. The jews were slaves for millenia, you never hear them asking for handouts, the Japs who were put in internment camps durring WW2, the native americans, who I think we would all agree were screwed worse than any other group, NEVER hear them make the arguments or complaints that they are being treated unfairly due to the things that happened in the past, Yet for some reason, SOME people cant get over things that happened to other people, who have the same skin color, and may or may not even be in any relation with the said person complaining.

    plain and simple, everything should be based on the best person, make or female, back or white for the job, NO preferential treatment for or against anyone should be a factor in obtaining a job. If 30 men take a test, and 28 of them are one color 2 a different color, a company is hiring 5 people, if one of those 2 people of different colors are not in the top 5, they dont get the job, simple as that. If we want things to be "fair" we need to BE fair, not be preferential to anyone for any reason.

    and our bottom 50% pay no taxes, which i guess you could say screws us in the 50%-90% range, but plain and simple the largest redistribution of wealth does not go (meaning no money was taken from you or I and given to "the rich") the rich, but it goes to pet projects. The military, one of the few things the constitution protects the procreation of funds for, SS and medicare, something it does not.

    wost part about that is the people who would have been "selected out" in years past are far more likely to be the ones keeping their inferior genes going, while the top of the line genes are less likely to procreate.

    I was all with you until you made the claim that we redistribute weath to the richest. You can badmouth them all you want, I prefer to hope to be one of them, and I know damn well if the top 10% pay 70% of the tax burdon (true) than the distribution of weath is not going in their favor

    Ill say it again a "tax break" is NOT giving money to the rich, its simply taking less money from them

    so? you would prefer to have the doctor who is there to save your life there for the sole purpose of making a quota? or do you want the best doctor possible for the job? Personally I would not want to have to worry about the fact that the person of XX is working there while a better doctor was not given the job just because of some quota.

    At least be honest with yourself acting as if OWS is completely perfect and has done no wrong.
    on group set up free, donation driven, volunteer rape tents due to the women who were in fact being raped as well, and the other had permits and remained non violent, well except for those damn signs, words on paper are SOO much more hurtful than actual, you know, punches to the face as I witnessed numerous times in NYC during the OWS destruction.

    interesting argument, and I am all for allowing the 3rd party the right to do as it pleases, however the point remains, party A gives me a loan, I pay party B in full for (insert item / service here) party A should not be able to bypass me and go to party B for any reason, party A has no relationship with party B in practice. If a friend lends me money to buy a car, he cant go too the dealership and demand they hold the title until I pay him back

  23. Re:This is not the government's fault on Universities Hold Transcripts Hostage Over Loans · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The issues with your argument is that you canw alk back one step further and see that all these things are requirements by the government
    student aid? many government loans there so your not really correct there
    food, government requires schools to provide food to XX standards, you need XX permits to operate at a school, blame the regulation there

    houseing, what? most student housing around any campus I have been around minus the dorms (which are owned by the schools 90% of the time) are private owned by and rented out, you dont like it, you buy one of the houses by a college and rent it yourself.

    homework assignments....ok now I know you are just making shit up. Please explain to me what having to do homework has to do with corporations? MOST homework at a school (a good one) is set up by your professor and his/her helpers, not "a corporation"

    bookstores... well, yeah what else did you expect? corps are best suited to be in business of selling goods, you dont like it buy a bunch of books and talk a school into letting you open shop
    you really need to think things a few steps further down the road.

    The point is the college is owed no money, it has been paid, it therefore has no reason whatsoever to hold up the release of transcripts. If the school was giving you the loans, it would be a different story and they could do as they please, but when the facts are

    you got a 3rd party loan

    you paid the college for your classes

    the college has no vested interest in holding your transcripts.
