Colleges and Universities must make money some way, so I am against free college education. How else would we support the 4726 colleges & universities here without changing the entire college infrastructure as a whole? Also by making people pay we ensure that they actually are truly dedicated or not for higher education. Why should lazy people get offered a chance to free higher education when they will fail to study and drop out. Thats a waste of taxpayer money and a waste of a spot for an actually deserving student.
So basically, you're against giving people a chance to become successful. Colleges should be free, and I'm pretty sure the government can help make it free by cutting the spending on defense and putting it towards more relevant stuff. Hell, certain colleges can be free.
You do realize many people who can afford colleges are same as well, right? I've read of few wealthy kids who didn't do jackshit but party at college, whereas poor kids who were intelligent and more deserving were not able to get into said colleges because they were not wealthy enough or had proper connection. Making people pay doesn't guarantee anything, and thinking otherwise further proves that you have not experienced real life or don't know many people. I know plenty who paid for college and did poorly or dropped out.
Because successful people help keep the world moving? Did you complain in school when kids would repeatedly receive rewards for making the honor roll every semester, every year?
That's a bad comparison because successful people don't need any reward, they're wealthy and successful. THat's all the reward they need. Not to mention, most have the money and connections to get a lot or break the rules and get away with it.
Kids don't get rewards for making the honor roll, they only get recognition. Their reward though is more likely to be successful as good grades mean better school, and better school means better company with better pay.
Even with every resource available, if someone is lazy they wont do it. So if they arent going to do whatever it is, then they are, for all intents and purposes lazy. Example, people in science programs can get PhD's at virtually no cost to them, however graduation rates for PhD programs are not all 100%, meaning people who didnt make it were lazy.
This is a view that only ignorant people or people who do not know about real life have. I hope one day you will come out of your fantasy world and face reality. I'm sure once you face the real world, your opinions will change.
Laziness has nothing to do with it. Someone could study eight hours a day and still fail. Or, they may not want to continue with PhD for one reason or another. I"m also pretty sure it does cost money to get PhD. A quick Google search shows that it does cost money to get PhD, so I don't know what you mean by no cost.
And I'd like proof that people who didn't make it were lazy, or that laziness will be why they won't do it even with every resource available. Do you know what lazy means? From how you have continuously used lazy in this thread, you have no idea what it means. But then again, you do not know what refugee means and why it's important to distinguish it from immigrant. Sad!
I disagree, without rewards someone will lose the motivation to continue to be successful, they will feel burnt out and give up the race. They will check out early, retire at 40 instead of retire at 80, for example.They will leave jobs every five years, instead of remaining loyal to the same company for 40 yrs. Instead of striving to be the best selling technological representative in the region, they will be happy with being the best selling technological representative in the city.
Drugs are illegal and can harm kids causing them to stray on the bad path, it deserves to be more punished simply taking out a few dollars from the bank account here and there.
Well, given how you have continuously showed lack of knowledge when it comes to real life, I don't really care much if you disagree. Your logic makes no sense - why would anyone lose the motivation to continue making tons of money just because they're not rewarded? They don't need any kind of reward, their success is enough. It is weird that you would lose motivation to continue to be successful just because you're not getting free handouts that you don't need, that just shows your elitism and desire to get things you don't deserve. A successful person's rewards for being successful is having money, they need nothing else. With money they can afford many things, flaunt rules and laws and get away with it, create connections that allow them unfair advantage over competition, and whatnot. Successful people in Wall Street have committed crimes and cheated people, but they're still wealthy and free. They don't need any more reward.
Or, with rewards someone will retire at 40 because they don't need to work to make more money when they're taking in plenty or received plenty of money. With rewards people will leave jobs every two years for a company that offers better rewards instead of remaining loyal to the same company for even five years. With rewards, the company won't care about being the best selling technological representative - why bother when they're getting rewards and making tons of money as result for nothing? Your logic is horrible. Without reward, someone will keep getting the motivation to do better and keep working hard to become successful, they'll retire at 60-70, even. Rewards don't make as much of a difference if people will job hop. But without rewards, a company will strive to be the best selling technological representative in the region, if not the nation, because they want to keep making more money and become a leading company of that field; the only reward that would help them is paying less taxes.
Not really. Weed isn't that harmful. But let's not pretend you care about kids, it seems conservatives use people they don't care about as agendas. They bring up homosexuals as a way to call Muslims terrorists or point out mental health issues needing more attention when gun violence comes into play. However, we know the truth is that they would rather send homosexuals to an isolated island and watch them burn, and after the furor over gun violence dies down, they ignore mental health issues and sweep the conversation under the rug. I'm sure democrats are guilty too, but conservatives are way worse.
Oh, and I love how Donald Trump can openly lie, but people will believe him and point out how Hillary is untrustworthy.
