  1. I didn’t stick it out to the end…did mommy mention that she drives him to the polling stations on lection day so that he can mark his X ?

  2. Oh look! He may be the next President of the US of A.
    All he needs is to learn to say the word Present!!!

  3. That parady is bang on, the ME generation have little to no verbal communication skills ergo good thing momsy can articulate for them.

  7. “Yea but they have it FREE in Quebeece don’t they,”
    Yes,Joe,they do. That’s why all of Canada’s best Prime Ministers came from Quebec.
    College loans should be forgiven by the governments and banks, and the kid should be sponsored further to a Masters or a Phd.
    I like my Taxi drivers and dishwashers as educated as possible.

  11. peterj – I followed your link and was disheartened to read the functionally illiterate comments by some of the graduates defending these idiotic courses. I got through most of my working life with Ontario Grade XIII and didn’t get a degree until I was 54 years old – and I followed that with a masters also at my own expense. My parents had long-since died so I couldn’t live in their basement or tap their RRSPs…

  14. Lots of work in the trades – but that takes brains and skill, two things lacking in BA grads.

  15. My son came home from high school the other day with a field trip consent form to visit the University of Calgary. I said no way. My son is going in for a welder. He’ll make greater money then if he wastes 4 years of his life at a liberal university only to end up with no skills or trade making minimum wage.

    And be indoctrinated by leftard relativism for four years. Try to survive that unscathed! Even in useful faculties like engineering etc.
    The required electives ensure no one comes out without that vile crap being pounded into their craniums.

  18. Actually, UofC is not really a liberal university, even in the faculties that you think would be liberal. Jack Mintz is a “chicago school economist”
    Your point about other universities would likely be true.

  19. “…a welder. He’ll make greater money then if he wastes 4 years of his life at a liberal university only to end up with no skills or trade making minimum wage.”

    And he’ll make enough money welding to pay his way through a university degree in any discipline that he wants to have just for the hell of it, and then go back to welding.

  20. Who said Fly Fishing was a useless course? After graduating urnal-versity you actually have a useful pastime while waiting for those job offers to come in. Might even be lucky enough to put food on the table for their family, although wading chest deep in the Bow River for any length of time might not be conducive for siring progeny.

    Good heavens man, you are going all the way back to the pre-social engineering days. Way back to the time we were expected to produce something, anything, to succeed on our own without the help of the nanny state or our parents. To the day when a trade was considered logical if it met your interests and college was for the rich, the gifted or the lazy. The days before affirmative action and sports scholarships filled colleges with people that had the IQ of a bush and their primary talent was skin color and gender. You know…all the ones that sit around and watch Oprah now and still can’t read, write or spell. The legions that voted for Obama. The days when a grade 12 education meant you were ready to face the world and coasting for another 10 years on student loans for basket weaving and social sciences was considered a insult to those supporting you. The days before “no child left behind” meant lowering the bar to make sure every child meets the lowest standard possible to make sure there are no hurt feelings. You had expectations on your own and did it all by yourself, which in today’s world makes you a true Dinosaur and goes against everything the social engineers are striving for. Bet you can even do your own repairs around the house. School administrators would consider you a abject failure in today’s world which is the reason they feel the need to co-parent. Taking the initiative for your own success, you should be ashamed to share that on the net. My own life somewhat parallels yours….which is why I’m not telling anyone. Nanny has never supported me and I’m so ashamed. Never even incurred debt to study engineering. I’m such a loser. Perhaps some day we can cry over a beer as to where we went wrong.

  22. I still get calls from US recruiters for US programming jobs. Should have paid more attention in school basket weaving libtards. Just got another raise last week too. Ha ha ha.

  23. peterj @ 10:52, sad isn’t it. One of the saddest things about this is that these people are supposed to take care of us in our dotage. I shudder for our future, theirs and our country’s.

  24. Creepy. But if the government advertising on the radio in California is accurate, then this could be a bonus for the parents – the commercial said that even if only one person in the household is entitled to some government benefit, then the whole household is entitled to some government benefits. That particular commercial had something to do with getting a free land line phone, but it sounded like keeping a welfare case in the house was a foot in the door to government good times.

  25. @ Ken(Kulak)
    The secret is not to get to the dotage part. Smoke ’em if you get em’ , eat that greasy meal and drink whatever the hell tastes good. After all, life is about quality not quantity. I figure if I live to the point where my kids have to look after me ,I’ve already lived too long. I’d like to get a few years of retirement for the 40 plus years I’ve paid into it but that’s about it. I’ve just been to too many funerals for friends that lived clean, ate healthy and died anyway. No longer worry about my future but certainly agree that our kids will have a challenge when they retire and our country could turn into a socialist nightmare. Sure wish schools would bring back history lessons and teach the youngsters the joys of living in a nanny state. Some cultures learn from their elders. Ours is no longer one of them. They will have to learn the hard way that nanny is a slave trader and a universal plantation owner. All for our own good of course.

  26. Would big “Owe’s” cavalcade of clowns run in 2014
    on a platform of forgiving all student debt?
    No if they can screw the taxpayers with it before then.
    Some say it is forgiven already if you get a gubmint job.
    .

  28. KenK: “One of the saddest things about this is that these people are supposed to take care of us in our dotage. I shudder for our future, theirs and our country’s.”
    I’m praying that when it’s my time to go, I drop dead. The thought of “being taken care of” by these inattentive, want-something-for-nothing barnacles makes me go chill at the bone.

  29. Watching the video, I was taken aback that the graduate knew a couple of Shakespearean sonnets. In my experience, most university grads only learn two things:
    a) Racism is bad and university grads are the only ones who know that.
    b) Even if a non-university grad knows that racism is bad, he couldn’t possibly understand just *how* bad.

  31. I went to university, even got the dreaded BA. Somehow I managed to become gainfully employed making a comfortable living.
    Don’t believe everything you watch on youtube 😉
