Cold and white - that's where you wanna be.

Higher education has basically become a for-profit enterprise across the board when it in theory should be a public service.

Yeah if you as a teenager make an optimal consumer decision, things can work out for you. If you're not sharp enough at age 17 to see that U of Phoenix is a scam, or a degree in art history even from a good university is worth ~nothing despite what your dip**** baby boomer parents tell you, you can pretty much **** yourself over for the next 15+ years of your life.

What reason is there to allow that type of environment to exist? We should be working toward reducing the cost of tuition and reducing the number of useless degree programs out there. Allowing the market to correct itself is basically being done at the expense of unsophisticated consumers, who are often teenagers or first generation college students, collecting huge sums of debt.

Outside of college campuses, I am also curious to hear about this assault on the First Amendment.

Canada and France are literally locking up comedians for jokes.

Lol

And what do you think caused them to decide to have kids?

they like kids.

I understand your point about being biologically wired to want kids, but some people stop at 1, others stop at 5, and after 1 is probably where real life considerations trump biological unconscious needs for most folks. for some people real life considerations trump those needs completely and they end up with zero kids.

and I certainly don't think our government should be in the business of drawing lines about how many kids are appropriate for each couple to have. I think that should be on you.

I too am excited to see how it works out in Finland.

i lol at people in my feeds who trash rubio or cruz and then have tons of pro-hilary memes and posts. Shes WOAT-level serious presidential candidate

You're almost there.

Why do you think they like kids?

Fyp

Most kids are had because of want of sex

I think a huge % of them if not a majority are just voting on social issues without even bothering to consider the ramifications on their lives of other policies, even moreso than an attitude of being members of the country club.

A quote I saw somewhere regarding the teabagger that Kentucky just elected governor was something along the lines of: "They showed up in droves to vote against gay marriage and abortion and in the process wrecked the very health insurance system they're now relying on"

Other way around actually

Without biological need to procreate being evolved into us, we wouldn't even have a reason to get horny

This is less of a rising tide and more of a shrinking pool.

I guess you could troll, or you could enlighten me, but feel free to keep trolling!

Kids have high transaction and maintenance costs, but they're a great hedge against inflation.

so I have your position clear wrt bolded: are you defending financial-need based scholarships or are you defending affirmative action, or both?

I heard a report on one of the weekend NPR shows a few months ago saying that this is most optimal for foreign charity donations as well. Much better outcomes were achieved in a study of African aid by just giving the poors straight cash homey rather than donating to orgs like Pseudo-Adopt an Ethiopian Kid or Send The Losing Super Bowl Team's Swag to Africa. So much gets wasted in the bureaucracy even in the private non-profit sector.

Force rank top 5 actual current candidates. For simplicity let's assume Biden and Bernie are the only democrats who can get the nom if Hillary gets indicted or something.

Fair. But a deflection none the less.

Call It whatever you want

The urge to procreate is not something most people can just use logic and reason to shut off, especially with women. Those that can are less likely to procreate and thus less likely to even exist. We've evolved to be procreators because the procreators are the ones who procreate.

Obviously there are a bunch of reasons not to have kids and a lot of people who do shouldn't, but it's not reasonable to expect people not to have kids, regardless of their financial situation.

I'm not a huge hildawg supporter (I'll vote for her if she gets the nom) but you'd have to be blind not to see that she is far and away the most qualified/experienced candidate in the race. It's not even really close.

Dont want to go down that rabbit hole. Hilary wouldnt make the list

Rubio might be tolerable if he does the standard moderating back to center move should he get the nomination and ditches his lol tax plan. Cruz isn't even in the same ballpark as him and has the potential to be seriously harmful.

Hillary still better than both.

Clark,

Biden isn't worth factoring in at this point. I probably go

1. Bernie
2. Hillary
3. Kasich
4. Rubio
5. Jeb I guess
