yeah screw it right? why should I have to pay for my own education right?? I mean they should just divy up my debt and make the entire country pay for it via taxes! but wait, only the top 1-5% should pay for not, not us regular people right???
ok toad, im gonna disect your argument, because your all caps made you look tough, ill take the bait
We have been using this piece of lazy, ARROGANT, and fucking stupid logic to let unaccountable crooks, theives, and frauds run wild with our economy for decades now, and where has it gotten us?
Higher cost of living/education/energy, lower wages/less job opportunity/less upward mobility.
higher cost of living... perhaps it is because the federal government guarenteed that the costs of putting people who make 20K a year in a 500K house that the costs went up... you introduce new people into the buying force (people spending money they dont have) and there is more people fighting for the same number of houses, therefore the price rises. I say that if we didnt give people who we all know could never afford those houses a loan in the first place, they would be better off and everyone else would be as well.
Education? again, when teachers are guarenteed a job, no matter if they do well or not, and when the government is paying the schools buckets of cash for buying ipads for everyone or whatever they are going to do everything to keep getting that money, even at the cost to our children.
energy? if we were drilling for our own oil, prices would be lower. But no we dont do that, we pay corn growers to grow corn, to turn into ethanol, even after its been show to not be the best way to go. we give 500 million to a solar panel company who took the money and ran. 1.2 billion to another company whos putting its jobs in mexico. Here is an idea, lets stop the fed from giving money to any of these people, and we let the market decide. When cars came around, it didnt take the federal government to make everyone buy a car. When it became cost efficient for everyone (model T) than the forces took over. Until than the horse was thew way to go. But if you tell me "more people could have been in cars sooner if the government bought everyone a car" i dont know what to tell you.
less jobs/wages? simple, there are to many college students, due to the schools knowing that they will get paid by the gov, even if the student gets screwed with mountains of debt, so they raise prices, they take anyone and everyone, and standards are lowered. when those students get out, there are 100 people applying for the same job, only a handfull are really qualified, but with so many degrees out there, most jobs require one these days even if you dont need it to do your job. I saw a school janitor job that wanted a masters... a MASTERS! just to clean up the school???
so while you want to call us lazy.. what can you say about your side? the OWS people? they want all debt forgiven... they want free schools, free houses, and they wanna kick anyone who has made the right choices.Who are the REAL lazy people? those who work their assess off to pay for what they want? or those who want the government to do everything for them???? I believe its the latter.
right, he got his in the 50s, thats why hes been in politics for years fighting for you and I.... Sometimes it takes a little brain power to see that the government isnt as great as they want us to believe.
remove student loans
schools know that they wont get "guaranteed money" from the student loans
prices drop to a normal price instead of being artificially inflated due to the nowledge of the fact that the government will pay them
people can afford to go to school, without taking out 100 grand in debt
profit
or instead of tuition skyrocketing, it may go down because no one can afford the overpriced tuition, that is artificially high because the schools KNOW the government is going to pay. They spent years telling people that college is for everyone, you need a degree to change washer fluid at a car dealership these days why? because we oversaturated the market with college educated people, who dont really need that degree for what they do for a living.
maybe, just maybe the prices will drop because they will need to admit more people to their schools instead of costs going up. i mean thats simple supply and demand right there
no, android has always been intended to run on different types of hardware. That is one photo, in one "suit" put that os on a touch screen phone and it would look more iphone like... or LG prada like.... or any other number of phones that had touch screens prior to the iphone
Iran for an attempted attack on us soil just today. Maybe they figured (or were coaxed *tin foil hat) that they should just add blame to iran to either to save face (most likely) or to add ammo to the fact that they did in fact back the attack?(end tin foil hat)
why not? a teacher can become a tutor, or open their own private school, a nurse can teach others to become nurses, or go back to the old time door to door health care that is missing these days.
I had a very similar experience, no where near at this kids level but I could do some pretty interesting math in my head. I would regularly fail math class for not showing my work. my issue is my work was done in my head. If i stop to write down my work, i lose my train of thought, and have to start the problem from the begining. My teachers would think i was just cheating. I even had my teacher give me an oral math exam just to prove to him it was in fact done in my head and no cheating involved. however due to policy, i still had to show my work. It was a real downer.
.... ill give you that, im a droid fan, but you are correct, htc is the worst offender of the lot, moto* is ok, simple and to the point but some of those names are miserable.
exactly true. I graduated highschool in 2003, and I remember all we were taught was the ottoman empire took over alot of land. It took research on my own to find out that the ottoman empire was the muslim crusaders. However they always pointed out the evils of the christian crusaders without hesitation.
i wasnt a fan of his, especially later on in life, however no one can argue his contribution to society and the tech industry specifically, you will be missed steve. RIP
I have to agree with you on that point. Credit unions tend to treat their customers the best (at least their low end customers, under 200K cant speak for higher income levels) I have used probably 15 different institutions over the past 20 years now, and of them all, the credit unions have always been the most helpful. I used BoA and had them do the same with the acct. freezing, but with my local credit union, i have 24/7 video teller service, 24/7 online banking, not a lot of ATMs, which it the downfall, but higher rates than all the major banks on savings, i get paid for having a checking acct, granted around.9% but most banks charge for a checking, but i digress. If you are getting screwed, take your business elsewhere, its the only way to change things.
I think the difference is he is saying for them to all up and quit, unions dont quit, they strike.. and than make you pay them for the time they were dragging your companies name through the mud. and they strike when you try and fire one of them for deserving to be fired. unions, while well intentioned, are horrible in this day and age
to be fair, im not defending the cops here, im simply defending the argument that it is interfering in one way or another. however the response was not justified (from what we can see anyway)
Slashdot Mirror
that would be funny if i didnt think you were serious. While we are at it they should pay for the first 90% of my home and car too right??
and fisker got over a billion dollars from the USA and will be building their cars in finland...go figgure

I havent used VLingo, But I can recommend speaktoit assistant for android as a good alternative.
more people die mining coal, oil, and on wind and hydro plants in the past 60 years than from nuke power.....
are you serious??? obama has spend more in 1 month than bush did in a year

sure, lets just give all our money to the government, and they can tell us how much we really need every week right?

just like yelling bomb on a plane or fire in a movie theater is just free speech and not inciting correct?
