Am I the only one who laughed all the way through Jay and Silent Bob? I admit it was pretty dumb, but that didn’t diminish my enjoyment of it. Much.

I do. As a teacher, I want to encourage all my kids to go on to college, or at least follow their own educational path as far as they can. I look around my area and know that the people working at the paper mill (who are my age and didn’t go to college) make about as much as I do and they aren’t still paying off student loans. I’m satisfied with the choices I’ve made, but I won’t mislead students or my own kids about going to college so they can make the big bucks. I tell them to do what they love and to get all the education they want and THEN have kids!!

This is gonna sound weird, but:

Once I figure out how to do the paperwork I’m gonna try to auction off my body parts to various medical facilities so when I die, instead of burying me I just get sliced up and shipped off for science (on those NOT still alive). Then in the place of my casket just place a keg and have a good ol’ party on my tab.

Hey, I don’t need the bodyparts at that point, might as let somebody else get a use out of them.

Ohhh…retirement – that’s different.
No worries – we’ll elect Obama and he’ll make sure that no matter how much debt the country is in, everyone will have retirement. After all, we’re American and we’re entitled to it, right?.. wait…. You ARE American, RIGHT??!?!

I just find it very interesting that I finished one year of college
and now work for a freight company. Im making just over 2K
more a year, than my mother. Who got a Master’s to become
a teacher. Anyone else see a problem with that?

Lunchbox is a great character… and a great writer, and a great actor.
Not to mention he is one of the nicest and funniest guys you’ll ever
meet. The only reason I say this is because he was extremely down
to earth and funny when I met him.

Ahhhh, I was responding to x-bert’s quote of Monty Python’s Quest for the Holy Grail with the next line. And it goes a little something like this:

ARTHUR: Old woman!
DENNIS: Man!
ARTHUR: Old Man, sorry. What knight live in that castle over there?
DENNIS: I’m thirty seven.
ARTHUR: What?
DENNIS: I’m thirty seven — I’m not old!
ARTHUR: Well, I can’t just call you `Man’.
DENNIS: Well, you could say `Dennis’.
ARTHUR: Well, I didn’t know you were called `Dennis.’
DENNIS: Well, you didn’t bother to find out, did you?

And no, before anybody says that’s socialist or a redistribution of wealth or something, I don’t mean take from the rich and redistribute it. I mean is everybody should pay a similar SHARE into or greater well-being for the nation. If you make $10,000,000 you still have $7 million left instead of $28,000 left from the guy making $40,000

etc. etc. etc. …

I love how brazen you guys are. The evidence sitting in front of your face is that Republicans are the ones who do this. Statistics show that everyone who isn’t a well connected political crony does better under Democratic leadership. Democratic leadership provides real opportunity for American citizens, Republican leadership provides no-bid contracts for the well-connected. Nice try at reversing the truth, though, too bad no one is buying it except the hard core loony right, who would probably believe the world is flat if that is what their Glorious Leaders tell them.

Yes. I stuck around this site because people seem to be able to have intelligent discussions without denigrating into name calling, etc. with the exception of a few.

I’ve bookmarked this discussion – isn’t it wonderful to have thoughtfulness and clear reasoned points. Whaddya think, eds? You seem rational.

Yeah, you could hope that they would, but they set you up for failure instead. It’s a lot of promoting whatever you say you plan on doing.
It doesn’t help your future prospects mind you, but that’s what they do anyway. You would think you could get at least a decently paying job. Though, I suppose not all majors are really geared for that sort of thing, sadly.

By: minerva146

minerva146 — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 18:08:40 +0000

Yes, and Obama has at least tried to stay on the issues. Nobody’s perfect, but at least a strong effort is there to make the election about what is important to the people.

By: minerva146

minerva146 — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 18:06:15 +0000

No, that’s alright. not “in a field that is projected to greatly expand”. Guidance counselors never tell you you picked the wrong major. Now I can’t afford to go back to school. Although, my degree IS similar to Sarah Palin’s. Maybe I can be vice-president. lol.

I didn’t mean to start a big whine. The point was that if I invested in higher education, I ought to at least be able to find A decently paying job, even if I am not making $1 million. Otherwise, why spend 4 years beyond high school studying ANYTHING? I think this has gotten a little off topic, but I guess winds up emphasizing the point. If a college education doesn’t even guarantee a JOB for our young people, what does that say about pursuing the American dream?
