    Golly, that's probably why I wouldn't employ you

    I'm not talking to you (or this thread) in any other voice than the utilitarian. I don't claim intellectualism in this, you do.

    Surely a reduction due to poor spelling?

    I refer to both intellectualism and economic reality. You're fluff.

    That's probably not an altogether bad idea.

    Gender Studies graduates are unlikely to earn more than a plumber.

    Can you show that someone who does a gender studies degree actually earns less? Can you show no economic rate of return? No need to answer, I already know your answer

    ah .. I see you equate retirement with advanced age. not too much insight into just how spastically well paid some sciences can be, eh?

    Perhaps, but I'd go with the Japanese model. Anything which is not immediately lucrative and useful, should be regarded as a recreational/vanity pursuit, and therefore ineligible for funding.

    Yep, 18-21 years old tend not to retire. Its a shame you haven't achieved the basic critical analysis skills associated with Humanities. Your replies might then be more tickety-boo!

    I know that you know that this response is feeble.

    "Then they better cut me a check too equal to the average canceled loan debt.."

    K maybe I missed a comma ,,,,,, ,, , ,, , ,,, , ,, , , ,

    I mean..
    If they cancel student loan debt, then to be fair, they need to write me a check equal to the average amount of canceled student loan debt..

    Those genderfiles don't deserve a windfall for making poor choices and wasting their lives productivity while I've been contributing the entire time..

    Wright me a *********king check..

    Tut tut, you don't know the difference between grammar and spelling? You'll be speaking French by accident next!

    That's your argument loser?

    Personal attack = automatic loss of debate...
    Better luck next time..


    Hope my arrangement of words and spots does't offend you too nauseously..

    The issue I have is zero government control over school expenses the money should use a COLA and maybe we need to force schools to apply their endowments heavily to reduce costs for students or they get no money.

    Or get the government completely out of it, including loans, which jacked up the tuition price in the first place..
    Get rid of affirmative action while your at it, and let the free market sort it out..


    Sell the crap student loan debt the gov holds to the highest bidder, let the free market collect on it, and open up bankruptsy on it..

    If govt is funding student loans, then govt will necessarily decide the conditions of such loans.

    You do like to avoid the real problem and rant about something else. The free market delivered discrimination. Affirmative action is simply a reference to the 'theory of the second best'. Lots of graduates you don't like would know that by the way!
