Kestasjk get post of the day for this one

"Why would students spend their summers playing games and posting all day instead of working?
>The answer of course is they count on mommy or daddy if they are in high school to pay for everything in the fall so why work in the summer. "

Bingo, end of story.

TC, you quoted kestas quoting you. That is ridiculous.

Not that I think complete reliance on your parents is a good thing, but, according to you, they aren't drains on society as long as they don't take a dime from the government - right?
They consuming and not producing - not too differently from a retiree.

And if a parent can, by the marvels of capitalism, amass a small fortune. And if that parent wants to give their children their summers off for hobbies, sports, playing on the internet etc, is that not their own prerogative? What the fuck do you care beyond the sand in your own old, sour vagina?

But back to the point, how have you been blessed with such arrogance that you can paint an entire generation with one brush. Most of your posts are backed by some sort of logic and an amount of fact. This is nothing but old crotchety bitching.

Kestasjk, You know why you get busy on the weekdays and dead on weekends and holidays.

Mommy and Daddy are out of the house working during the week days so the kids can post all day online, but on the weekends and holidays mom and dad are home and the kids are supervised.

@uclabb - I missed that but that's hilarious. It's a testament to TC's arrogance that the only thing he can applaud is himself.

As my great grandfather used to say "If I want to have an intelligent conversation, I'll talk to myself"

"Complete reliance on your parents is a good thing."
Thanks for proving my point Yonni.
You don't even realize how pathetic that statement is.

Wait, so is playing diplomacy a right or not? I NEED TO KNOW

I read it UCLA BB and knew I loved it.

I said that I don't think it's a good thing but I'll rephrase it because it might have been confusing for you.

My question is - what is your point? On the one hand, you are saying that kids are a drain on society because they take from the government. And then you're saying kids are a drain on society because they take from their parents. It's not a big point, I just thought you were tripping over yourself in your arguments.

I quote Yonni: "Not that I think complete reliance on your parents is a good thing"
And now I quote Tettleton quoting Yonni: "'Complete reliance on your parents is a good thing.'
Thanks for proving my point Yonni."
Ignore this, it is clearly trolling.

But is playing diplomacy a right? Let's not forget the question of central importance, here.

Kestas, As far as your point that providing interest free loans for people to get an education is a no brainer I guess you haven't been reading about the colossal failures of higher education in this country.

Student-Loan Delinquencies Rise, Adding To Fears Of An Education Bubble

All of those student loans aren't producing degrees, and when they do produce degrees the pieces of paper don't generate a job that can pay back the loans.

Also the flood of student loan money has led to tuition inflation that is staggering in the last quarter century as well as bloated administrations in public university systems.

So I would think twice before trumpeting the praise of no-interest student loans.

Youradhere,

Clearly a privilege not a right.
You will find that food, a job, medical care, a free college education, and mommy and daddy being a lifelong backstop for those times that ambition and motivation don't exist are rights to many on here.

No, you won't.

Yes, that is exactly why depressions occur, the country gets hit with a sudden epidemic of laziness. By Newton and his laws, it explains everything!

But none of those things are diplomacy. I didn't refer to food, a job, medical care, or a free college education. Neither did your title.

Who said you did refer to those as a right youradhere?

My post said "to many on here."

If you are one of those many you will have to self-identify.

Yonni, like I said at the beginning of this thread, individuals who spend their summers posting all day instead of working.

Look in the mirror to see one.

TC's forum posts - 910 in 2.5 months
Yonni's forum posts - 390 in 5.5 months

Surely a bright man as yourself can do the math...

p.s. I am embarrassed now to see that I'm nearing 400 posts.

I like how my post was ignored.

Yonni, Like I said, I not only pay my own bills I paid more in taxes than you make.
I know that concept is foreign to you.
Someday you will make your own way in the world and get the point.
You might even make enough to pay income tax someday.
Of course that takes ambition, motivation, and the like.
You could get a job doing online research and make money being online all day.
It's a great way to make money. Trust me.

All in favor of TC and krellin getting a room?

Also, what's this BS about more money ==> more contribution to society. That's a load of horseshit. Are you telling me a CEO is 100x better than a firefighter if he earns 100x more?

Abgemacht,
I guess you don't realize that you don't have firefighters without the CEO's taxes.
Who pays the Firefighters salaries Abge?
Tax revenues do.
That's why cities are laying off firefighters and shutting down fire stations.
So a CEO who pay 100 times more taxes than you do is a much bigger benefit to society.
Sorry to point out the obvious, but you didn't seem to have a grasp on it.

Um...A CEO isn't going to help you when your house is burning down...

TC, you make nearly 10 posts a day. Stop being a hypocrite.

Um, the fireman isn't even there without the CEO's taxes.

It is disturbing how little people understand about how the world really works.
The funny thing is I don't need the people who don't understand, because I do understand and I've taken care of myself and my loved ones.

What a concept. Personal responsibility.
