    How about colleges stop trying to indoctrinate students into a political agenda and allow free speech and the actual discussion of ALL ideas?

    The person claims to not even live in the USA, yet her taxes are funding liberal programs in the USA.

    Lucas is one person, an anomaly.
    George Lucas does not validate millions of kids who have wasted their time and money in college.
    What have you done?

    You're in here discussing what other people should do with their lives. Is that odd?

    I’ve been telling people what they should do with their life? Like what? I offered a suggestion in one post that maybe some people need to find a hobby, but that is hardly ‘discussing what other people should do with their life’. So please show me all these posts you’re referring to.

    I don't actually think that any parent can keep their adult child from attending college.

    I'm a libertarian, so I would suppose that you would consider me a RWer. Are you saying that libertarianism has some sort of opposition to education?

    From past interactions with other posters who have called me a right winger. Are you saying that you don't consider me, a libertarian, to be a RWer?

    I have read very few of your posts. I don't have an opinion.
    I think it was you who tried to engage me? Not sure.

    What makes you think all these kids wasted their time and money? How could you possibly know this? What proof do you that millions of kids wasted their time and money?

    Do you know what the ave starting salary is of a college grad vs hs drop out?
    RWers, mostly in this thread, seemed to have more respect for a drop out than a college grad. If you think like that, then you'd be a libertarian RWer.

    And not one RWer would answer. Not that they could. For it blows their BS fake crap out of the water that college education is worthless, only for indoctrination, and not for educating out of the water.

    It is oversimplified to say that progressives what to progress and conservatives do not. Most people want progress in todays society. The question is 'what is progress?', 'what are you willing to compromise to get there?' and finally 'is it sustainable?'

    I am not sure about laws that prevent marriage. I'm sure if you found a priest or whatever you perfer they would perform the ceremony. I would prefer the government didn't provide certain benefits to certain types of marriage but if it does it should be for the general wellfare. It should be to promote people to build such relationships before having children. Like I said before though I would prefer government to say nothing of marriage.
    When it cones to abortion certainly, I can be authoritarian when it comes to disallowing people to take the lives of other human beings. The disagreement is what constitutes a human being.
    Even the president has the right to free speech. I am not against him challenging then verbally or even on a social level. That is the process if liberalism it the right to speak to have an opinion and to state it regardless of some supposed sanctity or authority. What would be authoritarian would be if he used law, force, violence, and fear to silence the press. I see none of this from the right. It is the left who punishes those who speak against them, it is ANTIFA who uses violence and fear to silence people.

    I do not disagree that the right was more authoritarian than the left. What I see now though is liberals abandoning the left because authoritarian progressives have asked them to compromise too much of their core values.

    I didn’t say illiterate. We have had to significantly adjust our hiring standards. The grammar I see in emails alone is so bad I cringe when I have to open one from certain individuals.

    I stand corrected, you did say barely literate....Sounds like you hired a bunch of stiffs....If you own your blunders and try to tighten up your game instead of blaming liberals for your failures you might quit screwing up and hiring idiots. Cheers

    Not true, I have a great love of science and technology. I am against politics funneling money into certain science research and corrupting it. Funding needs to be done with more care. I am against false oversimplifications and analogies of scientific ideas and theories by the press and media. I am against speculating based on the science but then pretending that the speculation is priven to be true because the basis for the speculation is true.

    So what you are saying is that all the Democratic Party's talk that college loans are crushing college graduates is all a lie because a college degree assured a great income and paying off college loans is not problem. Rather, they have plenty of money but just refuse to pay their personal debts.
