Hilarity ensued.

If it isn't too late, live in the dorm your first year. It'll make it much easier to meet new people. Also, try to stay off your computer as much as you can. If you can talk to someone instead of chatting with them on FB, do it. Figure out what your school/dorm's policy is on alcohol. A bit of a horror story, one of the people doing orientation my freshman year was moving in, their parents were helping them. They accidentally dropped a basket of their stuff, and a bottle of vodka shattered on the ground. The RA saw it, and they were dismissed from the University, no questions asked. To make matters worse, the student hadn't known about the bottle, their parent had actually hid it in there for them. Depending on your major and the class, "D" stands for Don't have to take it again.

Listened to it, understood it. Also knew enough to know the animator kept showing pictures of irrelevant things, like cat5 cables. The problem is broadcast, cell phones, and satellite t.v., not wired connection.

I hear there's a player cap of 200M accounts.

@Lokie I figured you would know. Congrats on being the Largest Contributor in the first 500 posts. TNPW be colored orange or red.

Up high, right here!

("Random" article on Wikipedia - "KRAC", 1st google image result) The Next Post Will include a calculus problem, and solve it. Also, I'm updating the rules of this game. The 24 hour rule will now be replaced by the 3 day rule. If the last post was made 3 days ago, you can ignore the rule. Otherwise, you should make every reasonable attempt to follow the rule.

You can say that you've gained a mastery in the hardest skill left.

That's why I called it cynical. :mrgreen:

That's a bit of a pointless question, isn't it? I'd weigh the benefits of paying an extra 22k per year versus my expected income from completing my degree. I'd also look to transfer elsewhere for a cheaper alternative, if it existed. I might be upset with my university, but an absurd reaction would be to lash out at some arbitrary third party. I also wouldn't be selfish enough to think that someone else should pay for it instead of me. Except they're not expecting someone else to pay off their education. When you subsidize education, you are investing in the students who will go on to work higher paying jobs, pay more taxes, and pay for their tuition by subsidizing the next generation of students. It's a much better system than making students come out of university with 100k+ in debt. The only people who benefit from that are the banks. Is your system better? Can you find evidence that Canadian graduates are more productive than American graduates? What about against students that take out loans and support themselves through college? From my experience, students that are given a free ride (or very cheap one at that) tend to change their majors more, graduate on time less, and take college less seriously (like flunk out or party more). For example, each of my siblings has had to pay for their own schooling. The four of us so far have all (or will have) graduated on time. The two that have graduated already have jobs and aren't unemployed or living at home. Compare that to several of our friends whose parents are footing the bill, who have changed their majors, flunked out, or changed their schools. Some even have graduated and moved straight into their parent's basement. http://www.theclause.org/2012/04/4158/ Also, my tuition has increased by about $1000 / year since I started. You can bridge that gap by working a couple weeks at a summer internship.

It wouldn't be the government raising tuition, it would be my university. Also, how many times in the past has tuition rose?

Let's use hard numbers then. Say last year it cost a grand total of $20,000 to educate a Canadian student for a year. This includes what the student paid, and what the taxpayers paid. Say the student paid $5,000 and the taxpayers paid $15,000. Let's suppose the cost of education increases from $20,000 per year last year to $30,000 per year this year. What's maintaining the status quo? Students paying 25% of the cost, or paying $5,000 total? Is it taxpayers paying $15,000 total? If you're arguing that students shouldn't have to pay for any ofthe rising costs, you're arguing that someone else should pay for it instead. You're also arguing that students should pay relatively less for their education. So no, I think your mentality that "we want to maintain the status quo" actually means, "we want to pay less than we already are."

Come up with a good argument around this and I might just agree with you. Here's a hint: talk about positive externalities. Nope, I'm not against student loans. When people take out loans, invest in themselves, and pay those loans back, they're being responsible and self reliant. What I'm arguing against is very different than loans. Right now, students around the world are directly subsidized by tax payers (no loans). What they're complaining about is having to pay the increasing cost of education. What they're arguing for is very selfish, they want other people to pay for their education. Also, by harming unrelated parties (like F1), they're not arguing intelligently, they're being a lawless mob.

Except it's not. It's an argument where "I want my government to stop being corrupt". You mean like stop caving to special interests? :rolleyes:

How do you justify forcing other people to pay for your education? Why do you deserve their money more than them? Except that I'm not forcing other people to pay for my education. Do you go to a private university? Are people volunteering to pay? Do they choose to send a check in to the government? Where does tax payer money come from anyway? Can you make an argument instead of inane questions? The argument is, people are forced to pay taxes. Taxes aren't voluntary. Forcing people to pay taxes and then using tax money for education is forcing people to pay for other people's education, also known as redistribution of wealth, or legalized theft. The selfish, and entitled argument that I shouldn't have to pay for my rising education costs (and instead taxpayers) is basically saying I deserve other people's money more than they do.

I'm not hating on people who pay less. I'm hating on ungrateful douches that don't realize how good they've got it, and are taking their anger out on unrelated web pages to prove a point. How about, man up and quit entitling yourself to other people's money. What the hell happened to responsibility, self reliability and independence? Throwing a tantrum because it costs a little bit more money to better yourself and increase your earning potential? Go get a job and quit being a lazy bum. EDIT: you plural (faceless crowd), not you specifically (highlander). I apologize for any confusion.
