I don't believe that someone has to create grace through sacrifice

You think all kids are as irresponsible or lazy as you or I may have been?

Yes, some kids are lazy. I wasn't allowed to be. Point?

Why do you think they're not sacrificing for college now? Or that they haven't been giving back to society all along?

Fuck it. Have it your way. Everyone gets free college. I don't need free college, so I'll take free hookers and blow. I've given back a lot to society, so they better be some top shelf hookers. Everyone get in line. Tell us what you did for society, and we'll get you your free shit.

Count on a greater return from college than addiction. That said, it's arguable that college should be free or cost something, but the concept that all kids aren't giving back to society is wrong.

What kind of service are you referring to? What is this sacrifice that you are talking about that kids are getting involved in that is comparable to paying for an 80 thousand dollar education, or submitting four years of your life for martial service? I wanna hear this.

Kids shouldn't go to college unless they've earned $80,000?

We've already had the discussion about mandatory military service. There are other ways to give back to society.

We're talking about giving away free college, and you suggested that it isn't exactly giving it away because kids give back to their communities.

So if the tax payers are shelling out eighty grand for college, what are the kids doing that makes that a more even trade?

Ways to go to college,
  • 1. pay a pile of money
    2. join the army
    3. give back to the community in the form of ____________, and get rewarded free college
    4. get straight A's and get a scholarship
    5. be a sports star

If college wasn't financed by student debt it wouldn't cost $80k
