By golly I think he’s onto something.

Mark, I recommend Father Guido Sarducci’s five minute university approach to today’s college age students:http://www.fathersarducci.com/video.html
It will save them a ton of money and they’ll learn just as much as if they’d spent 5 years at Harvard or Yale, maybe more.
Take a few lines out here and there and would fully explain the small tiff i had with my woman.Except he’s 23 strutting around like a peac” ”k when he turned 21 i am a man now but is wondering why he’s gotta leave.
He’s gotta go Mom,is kicking me out,but has the audacity to say will you pay my student loan haha
It is only 100 dollars a month i suspect that is only the interest…poor guy
Good spelling and grammar, too. That’d make a good CV, I’d hire him.
Glad to see 90% of his tuition is covered by scholarship, he seems like a decent guy and it would be a shame to see him waste his own money on the college bubble the way Obama’s idiots on Wall Street wasted their credit.
Here are words of truth from the 53% of Americans who pay taxes and don’t receive government payments. http://the53.tumblr.com/
Next we’ll probably find out that he’s in an engineering or science program and one of the “oppressors of the proletariat” 😉
Why are his concepts so difficult to understand by people? Living within my means worked for me as a medical student and being able to delay gratification is a very valuable character trait. Sure, it’s not “spontaneous” or whatever term is used for fiscally profligate impulsiveness nowadays but I like the feeling of being largely debt free and being able to spend money now that I have it.
The “99%” crowd should be viewed as the best evidence we have for why the public education system should be totally scrapped and replaced by one which educates people in how to deal with reality. I’m not sure what reality those morons live in, but it sure isn’t the one I inhabit.
My favourite recent 99% photo is of a recently retired Wisconcin teacher.
Apparently she worked for 54 years. Now her pension isn’t enough to help her sons with college tuition…… /blink.
Let’s do some basic math. Assuming she entered the workforce at 16, add the 54 years, that would make her 70. How many 70 year olds have sons in college? And why are they not paying their own way like the kid in the photo above?
Another favourite was of a guy in a Guy Fawkes mask holding his baby at the OWS mob scene. Not a remarkable photo all in all, but the protester that took the photo posted it to Flicker. Now Flicker shows all the metadata from a photo. Including make of camera etc.
This poor soul was using a $2000 Canon 5D camera body, a $500 f1.4 50mm lense and $300 Adobe Lightroom software to edit the photo. Oh, and this anti-corp protester? He copyright’s all his photos………..
Confronting the left with facts does not work.
This person will be made out to be some sort of earth rapist blood sucker, not the politically correct white guilt slurper most students are made out to be.
@ loki: isn’t it a pleasing thought that you, that guy/gal in the picture, and I will be the first ones to be imprisoned or sent to die in the lefty paradise?
Excellent. Someone needs to find this kid and get HIM on tv.
@ langamann, I expect that they will get those of us that they missed the last time. They will need you and Loki to treat the camp staff in the re-education camps.
Good for the kid with the letter. It seems that either there are too few of this caliber around or they are too busy doing what most of us did at that age…that is work and or study.
You need to check out @Rajput 1:53
The reaction to the arrogance of the “99%”.
We are the 53%
Oops, langmann, sorry for the spelling error.
My sons all got (or is getting, in the case of the youngest) engineering degrees, and got out of college with minimal debt. The two oldest are gainfully employed as engineers.
My nieces and nephews all majored in the arts or social sciences, and have tons of tuition debt. Only two graduated, and all have minimum wage jobs, if they have jobs.
My sons will end up supporting these drones.
Sigh.
Love it – loved all the We Are the 53% letters!! Tired of people trying to take what I earn away to pay for their choices in life whether it’s subsidizing daycare or secondary education or social assistance or whatever. Let people keep more of their own money (for those who work for it) and overhaul the size of government. It’s glorified stealing – these people occupying Wall Street are wanna-be thieves. Let the thieves get the life lesson that they deserve. Everyone wants to be the victim these days – sheesh!
And he’ll likely have lots of jobs offers once he graduates.
To the Gimmies, this must sound positively degenerating.
I’m hardly the first to say it, but these kids should be occupying the dean’s office and suing their guidance counsellors. They’ve wasted years and gone horribly into debt aquiring worthless “educations” because they’ve been lead to believe that everyone who isn’t white trash has to get a degree or three.
Everyone who ever took “Women’s Studies” should have grounds for an class-action lawsuit. I also blame their parents, who should have talked sense to them.
Lifted this pic and posted to my FB account this morning. The debate it created was telling and the ‘likes’ and ‘shares’ are growing exponentially! We need more people like this and less of the types protesting on Wall Street. Someone find this kid and give ’em a job for their effort!
Do the 99% of America realize they are the 1% of the world?
I have only a grade 12 edumakation and find it damn hard to hide from work
or maybe work has a better map than I
I drove cab in Saskatoon years ago and seen what the U of S students did [every nite of week]. 90% were there to party. Lets hope the 10% can pull us through.
The Occupy Toronto idiots are ready to strike. Tonight they had a big meeting in front of OISE (Ontario Institute for Studies in Education). Here are some pictures: http://www.blogwrath.com/?p=2042
It would be fun to watch them in all of their “glory” when they start the protest within the next few days.
