  • Deleted my last one as it was just confrontational as I was in a rush to post it

    Yes, Obama did some evil things. Yes, every US president has done evil things. Some a lot worse than others. Thats not new information.

    But to throw out Obamas numbers as if they’re the worse ones is egregious. Yes, he had a lot of civilian casualties. But Trump was literally getting so many civilians deaths he had Obamas rule to report civilian drone deaths repealed. but even with that repealed his have been atleast cofirmed doublenumbers of Obamas and upwards oh 10x as much.

    But moving past that, you cherry picked your argument. The point you chopped up was about a US president being openly evil towards his OWN civilians. So you’re not only wrong, but youre also wrong about something that wasn’t even part of the argument.















  • Its also possible to give your body to sports and go for free like I did. Doesn’t mean everyone is going to be able to do that.

    There are also people out there who give their all and don’t get accepted into the college that would be best for the financially. I’ve seen and and helped console them after they freaked out about having to pay a bunch more. I think the problem is student loans and those that benefit from praying on 18 year olds trying to make the “right” decision

    But it all brings it back to why can most every other developed nation send their students to University for practically free and still have people living comfortably even though they have to pay taxes for it, but its too hard for the US to do it?

    Just because you know some people that got through unscathed, doesn’t mean there isnt a greater problem.

    But I woulda thought your degree would have taught you about survivorship bias

    Also:

    immigrants whose families worked extremely hard for their sake

    Luck

    get accepted into colleges that offered them favorable terms

    Luck

    pay off their debts without issue and live upper-middle-class lifestyles

    Luck

    So as long as you live close enough to commute from your parents house, get to live there for free or real cheap, and jump through the hoops and hurdles without any issues, you too can get by relatively cheap!

    Everybody else can get fucked cause this person was one of the lucky ones!

    Also, make sure you go to what is considered one of the more affordable universities while living in that state for over a year before hand!

    Its super easy and affordable

    So because you know a couple people who maybe didnt make the best decisions, forget everybody else. How many students who take out those high loans go on to become something useful and needed by society. Cause the people I know that took out that much mostly went on the become doctor’s.

    That’s an argument for the government to help college students less, not to help them more.

    Yes cause the students have the power to set the prices. It’s the loan givers dealing with the universities that keep driving up prices. If the government was to step in and say we’re only paying this much the prices wouldn’t be so exorbitant. You know, like the other developed countries do.
