I hate when you want to have a civilized conversation with someone who only wants to hear his/her own voice. They don't want your opinion, they want you to accept yours. And when you decide it's not worth your time they think they won, they think you gave up. So you want to continue, so you can prove yourself... but you know that will lead nowhere. What do you do?
Another thing is when is when a childs Identity is stolen. How can that happen? Why is the process of credit and identity so screwed up that some 30 year old drug adict can steal a 6 month old babies identity and screw their credit for the rest of their lives? A child can't do anything about that. It seems to me that there should be some sort alert when you use information like that. I mean, why would a 6 month old be taking out a loan? Is it so hard to have a pop up with the age of the social security number being used? Then banks could be like, "Excuse me sir... why are you using this six month old girls social security number?" Seems like a legitimate concern right? I hope he left the car running...
How about the social security number of a dead person? You'd think they'd pull up some flags with that "So, I'm showing you were born in 1895... You look really good for your age sir!" Somehow our dear (and by dear I mean not dear) President has somehow gotten away with it.

What about those super health nuts? I mean there is nothing wrong with eating a sweet now and then? There is nothing wrong with getting imunizations for a child to protect them. "So you don't want to immunize your child cause your afraid some big corporation is padding their pockets with the 40 bucks you use to protect your child? Sounds like a great industry! You know what would be a great replacement industry? Tiny baby coffins..." - House. And what is wrong with flour? Why can't we eat flour? Its good for us! At least some is good, maybe they are right if we have a lot more than we should but we shouldn't cut it out of our diet completely? I love it when you quote the Bible! Also desert doesn't have to be healthy!!! Its called desert! Its meant to be unhealthy! I don't eat anything unless it is desert. Splurge a little and have some fun. It's not going to kill you. We don't have to be perfect all the time. I am, but that's mostly accidental...
Why is there such a problem against average people? I don't like the word average, we are different. Everyone is talented in different ways. Some may be pathetically horrible at school work, but absolutely brilliant at art or have great people skills, who determined who was average? It seems in our time now, that if you are average you are looked down upon? The grading systems at school was set up so B's or C's were average, yet now in our time if you get anything but an A in a class you may as well give up on life and join the circus, foget getting any financial aid scholorships if that happens because your just not smart enough. Heaven forbid you ever get a C. The only thing worse than that seems to be death. Even those that don't get degrees are looked down on? How is that right? Why do you have to get a bachelors degree to get any degree of respect? I know people who said things like "I feel like when i talk to someone who doesn't have a bachelors degree, that I have to speak down to them. Because they just don't understand". They have said things like this to people I care about... How is that fair? Sounds like we'd get along just fine :D Could you imagine how much that would hurt? How does that show that they are better people? That just seems wrong.
Yeah... Don't get me started on College! Please don't... This is the one topic Quinn and I are not entirely agreeing upon.. Not a stupid person, but can I still rant for a sec. about this? I left college for the same reason I wont sign up for Obamacare;
-It's insanely over priced Agreed
-And I am morally offended by the entire system For the most part I agree, but its not all bad.
College is not what it used to be True.., its not a safe investment Not sure what you mean by that.. But your right, I am always afraid I'm going to be attacked by a wild banshee... I work in student loans and i hear so many horror stories! People who spend hundreds of thousands in student loans... and there they are, 15 years later and still working as a server at Golden Corral, where they will never in their lives make up enough to pay back their loans. Again, this is where i disagree. Where you see a lot of people like this... That does not show the majority of people. I am miss out on some higher paying jobs... but at least I'll be making more than I owe. That's the clincher for me. But despite that, as you mentioned, it teaches to the A students, guess what though? Everyone learns in different ways! I've heard it said that if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree it will live out it's life thinking it's worthless. Speaking from experience? ;) And not only do they not teach to your level, but they teach what is required to pass the test. Generally a good practice You're not going to used this in your life. Well when you put it that way... Ya if your getting a useless degree, like humanities, or arts, or dance! You are not paying for an education. You are paying for a piece of paper that proves that you can memorize things long enough to test on them.
This is just a few of the things that have been on my mind. Wouldn't you agree with me? I will be back next week to add some more to this!!
