    Cal State Hayward has a remote learning program in mechanical engineering, I believe.

    Well their methods of teaching (i.e. communicating information) probably wouldn't work for me because I categorize/conceptualize information a little bit differently than most college professors tend to, based on past experience..maybe these guys would be different but in any case, I want to live free and have a lot of free time in my younger years so (*)(*)(*)(*) that program anyways, lol.

    That's the thing: young people want to LIVE for a while before having all that much responsibility...I guess real human nature, such as what I just mentioned, isn't really considered by politicians.

    Sterilize them with vaccines and abort them. O wait, that's already happening, we just need to focus it on the dummies instead of EVERYONE.

    I've been fully vaccinated since childhood, and I have two children. Would you care to explain this nonsensical belief that vaccines "sterilize" people?

    Why not restaurate the slavery? That would be really good.

    The only Foreign Legion still operating is the French Foreign Legion. There used to be a Belgian Foreign Legion, and a Portugeuse Foreign Legion, but they were disbanded decades ago.

    The French Foreign Legion has statutes mandating that the enlisted men (including non-coms) cannot be French citizens. Their commissioned officers are French citizens, The Legion Estrange is based in Corsica and only in the World Wars operated inside metropolitan France. Like the Roman Legionaires, the French Foreign Legion enlisted men automatically qualify for French citizenship after fifteen years of service. Why not? After fifteen years in the Legion they are more French than DeGaulle.

    What do we need slaves for? All the dummy-jobs are done by machines.

    Pretty arrogant to think that "you" or anyone else has the right or the wisdom to do anything with the "dummies". Even a "dummy" is an indivdual human being with the same right to life and liberty as you.

    Get the government out of education and stop stealing from the productive to support the unproductive and most of the "dummies" will discover their brains and/or their brawn and start using them. Voluntary charity and natural selection takes care of the rest. Gee, this social engineering stuff is easy...

    ewww the irony you begin the OP with
    then post completely erroneous claims about the French Foreign Legion, all you needed to do was do google search which took me all of .16 seconds to find a Foreign Legion recruiting website and dispute your Foreign Legion BS...but you're too arrogant to learn because you think your knowledge is so superior to "dummies"...a clear example of the Dunning–Kruger effect...

    The government imposed minimum wage in the United States is well below the equilibrium wage rate in every sector of the economy. Eliminating it in favor of a German style wage negotiation system where bargaining agreements establish minimum wages would have no negative consequences upon economic well-being. Nowadays, an American worker knows the value of his/her labor is greater than $7.25, and a business knows an efficient wage is greater than $7.25.

    I have no problem with revamping welfare to make it more worker friendly. Probably the best way of doing so is to make welfare programs centered on increasing human capital and marketable skills. Replacing some welfare efforts with education, vocational training, internship opportunities, and work study opportunities would be great for the advancement of American citizens.

    That's the problem with folks these days. They don't realize what constitutes an adult.

    okay but I doubt that's not how most who want no minimum wage see it...

    Well said and seemingly the only post in this thread (besides mine) that isn't written by a 'dummy.'

    Germany in that is not an example. Germany has many underpaid and unprotected workers. So no thanks, it is not a good system. Even the conservative party, Angela Merkel has considered to introduce a minimium wage, mainly for that reason.

    LOL, it is funny that you are quoting the biggest hipocrite of the history(well it is exagerated, because there are many others), Reagan. Because he exactly expanded government and obviously he contracted the liberty of the people.

    Sorry, I am not getting used to this new interface, and I conduse the signatures with the text. Is really confusing :-S

    Government always expands when revenues expand. They are also very adept at spending more than they receive, no matter how much comes in. Since Congress holds the purse strings, the Democrats had control 75% of the time during Reagan and never full republican control of both houses at the same time.

    If you really thought about it, that would not be a solution either. Think about it.

    You keep forgetting that Reagan wasn't a King, and had to endure the opposing viewpoints of the Democrats and many within his own party, in order to get his own agenda accomplished.

    It did not emerge unscathed, nor without asinine trappings that were not his own doing. That is why he wished 'line-item veto' - but never got it.

    He was fooled by the Democrats on a number of occasions, as they promised compromises in return for certain acquiescence on his part. They lied - while simultaneously providing you the illegitimate fodder through which to blame Reagan for things not of his doing or design.

    It appears you cut out English Grammar first. :D

    Perhaps you should stop getting stoned and save your money for classes.

    Well, if we could actually do something about illegals picking our corn, I think that would be a decent answer. But even then, it's not so much that they cannot find jobs, it's that they WILL NOT do the jobs that are available to them. Agriculture, retail, and the like are the only places that you can really get a job if you lack skill. But, most of the positions in those jobs either are filled by illegals (especially agriculture) or not filled at all. Most gas stations will hire you, most big box stores, places like that. But they often lack applicants with any sort of work ethic. This is the untold problem -- anyone can do those jobs, but our "self esteem" based educational system has put most of those jobs "beneath" the American ego. It's not "lack of skill" but not taking what is clearly the jobs they are qualified to do. Until the American Ego gets back in line with the American Economy (which is slowly starting to happen) you can expect the "Great Recessions" to continue and get more severe.
