In other words you dont want to accept it because it doesnt fit in with your view of yourself as this "ultimate ubermensch", when in reality you are just another spoiled nerd who spends too much time on the Internets.

It's not true at all. Anyone can go to college if they want. I just borrowed money earlier this year and the wife and I enrolled and didn't spend a dime of our money. How could that be?? OMG

You really need to get out and talk to other people besides your circle of 3-4 friends who kiss your dick all the time.
Not everyone can go to college for a number of reasons. Some people are working 2 jobs just to support themselves, where are they suppossed to find the time to go to school working 2 jobs? Some people dont qualify for financial aid, some dont have a good enough credit rating to get money through a private lender.
Alot of people simply dont want to go into ridiculous, fucking massive debt simply to go to school, despite being intelligent enough, competent enough, and diligent enough. Why are you being purposely obtuse other than to troll?
There are even stats that show that , generally, not absolutley, but generally most people who go to school and graduate are generally rich or richer.
Not everyone was born with a silver spoon like Lubes.

If you are too poor to attend, you get financial aid. I got $20k in aid and government loans. I didn't work and neither did my wife. Plus we have a baby. I also was eligible to borrow tens of thousands each year privately, but that wasn't even needed. The money is available to fund education to anyone that will take it.

Even if you don't work, don't get grants, and borrow a large amount and go into debt $80,000, due to the salary gap between high school and college graduates, it more than pays for itself in only a few years.

That's probably true. I am a little nerdy and do spend a lot of time online and spoil myself.

What are you trying to accomplish here? If you are so much better than everyone else, why are you here and need to rub it in everybody's face? I'll tell you. You need to feel better of yourself because you have a very low self-esteem! It's the school bully mentality. Except, doesn't seem to be working on grown-ups. Everybody can read you like a book here. But you act like a pathological liar and flat-out denying everything and making it worse.
Yes, and this thread is an attack. You should have dealt with the unfinished business where it was left unfinished. This is an pathetic attempt for an attack and mental redemption.
I have to say though, this thread is very humorous. So, thanks for that! Bye!

Here's a newsflash for you Acorn: I think very highly of myself, as does anyone that has ever met me. I flaunt it because you want it. And you're crying over what I'm supplying.

Not entirely true. You have to qualify for it based upon a number of factors, you dont just send in a Fafsa, then the government cuts you a check, or says just show up to scvhool we'll pay for it! It depends upon when you apply as well as a number of other things. If you live with your parents, they are required by law to take your parents income into account, even if your parents swear to not pay a cent of it. Thus, you could end up with little or no aid even if your parents dont help you at all.
Nowadays, financial aid has taken a huge cut, which is why people have to take out private loans in addition to anything they get from the government.

Theres no guarantee on that. You think someone who goes in debt 80k to become a teacher will make it back in a few years?

No thats not what I meant. The stats show that the overwhelming majority of people on college campuses, especially ranked ones are their not because of their scholastic aptitude but becasue their parents financial background helped them get there.

You just contradicted yourself. You get married, have a kid, live off your grandparent's inheritance and get government money. Sounds like you have grandparent's money & Financial aid paying for everything for you.
You are a disgrace.
