Really? Love sucks? Friendships suck? Breathing sucks? Learning something sucks? Or do you not believe that people learn every single day of their lives even beyond schools?
You're right. I do find contempt in the "me" complex. It is deserving of such.
It could. Depends on the relationship.
It could. Depends on who your friends are.
It could. Depends on the air you are breathing.
It could. Depends on the learning environment.
Then why bring up the idea of free 2 year community college education at all? Just let their life experiences guide them to prosperity.
Whoosh.
Then I suppose you realize that depending stuff for free is an expression of the me complex.
1: You can do "what if's" all day long. You know what I mean so don't pretend that you don't. Highest form of dishonesty is to pretend ignorance to try and push a stupid agenda.
2: If life experience alone was enough then we wouldn't need schools at all huh?
Nope, just an argument that people don't want to admit is true.
You might have to clarify this. But honestly you don't need to. I know that I'm in the minority here and nothing that I'm going to say will convince anyone here to put aside the "me" values that is so intertwined in today's society. I'm done with this thread.

Argh...I wish you quoted me after the edit.Anyway, people desiring things for free at other peoples expense are just as selfish as those that refuse to help anyone.
I'm pretty sure that things from nature being free has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of free things in the marketplace.
I'm responding due to this post and your edit otherwise I wouldn't have. I figured it was only fair.
To your post: Except that having free education isn't about one person or even a small group of people with in society. It's about the benefits for the whole of society.
Friendship has nothing to do with nature. It is a human societal concept. And love also isn't found in nature, sexual instincts are, but not love.
Where you attended school matters just as much as what your major is, contrary to popular belief. Plenty of research have shown that the more elite the school you have attended, the higher paychecks the alumi receive.
So while the idea of free two year community college may SOUND good in theory, it's not going to help in the long run.
Yeah yeah, money money money, blah blah blah. There are some things in this world that shouldn't be about money in the slightest. Education is one of them.
Breaking News fresh off the presses! Not really sure how all this will work. I guess when it fails in the Congress he'll blame the Republicans... :roll:
Obama: President Proposes 2 Free Years of Community College
Does anyone have any thoughts as to how this can actually work?
Because I'm not liking this idea:

Good news.
Do whatever it takes to get more people educated. If price was the issue then now the first 2 years it is free.
In Dardania Republic only the 1st year is free.
For good students there are stipendiums and grants. If kids are not good enough to qualify, they should pay for their own careers.

If he's thinking along those lines, how about doing the same thing for trade schools, where young people learn how to be plumbers, electricians, carpenters, etc? We need those people, too, and everyone is not interested in going to college. I don't understand what he meant by "work for it," though. Did he mean apply themselves, or something else?
nothing is free. the money has to come from somewhere to pay for it. it is a vital and key component to such a bill.
most community college's are already fairly inexpensive. the real cost is if you go to a major university.
I have long wondered what happened to trade schools, or as we called them in Jersey - Vo-Tech. I just don't feel they're around anymore. Also - my Dad used to bring his car in to the Vo-Tech to get an oil change at cost! Great way to save money while the students train. Or - does that now violate some labor-laws?
Vocational colleges are still common. Particularly in small towns.
