yo, for as smart as you guys like to brag you are...you dudes sure cant read or comprehend AT ALL...
"how ignorant do you have to be to have an expectation of society based upon you fullfilling society's expectation of you?"
lemme guess, your father is a banker?
no, you're a 2nd year finance student who's gonna be CEO of some bank soon?
this dude thought a b and c was "take out a loan"
not "go to college"
LMAO
morons, man, i tell you.
i bet he makes 4 times as much as me a year.
im not whining, im just stating facts about how $@$!!* up our society is.
If you must know, in 2009 I was an Economics major working at a financial institution and was slated for a fast-tracked executive leadership program position. I had my life figured out and was sitting pretty. Then, I received word that the program I was planning my entire life around was cut with no explanations and no pats on the back.
Did I sit down and blame the government, dividend seeking investors or bloated CEOs? No, I finished my degree and applied for jobs while continuing to gain work experience at my bank. I was working alongside people with GEDs who were making more than me. I knew more about finance than my manager.
Your argument is that people who go to college deserve something for the simple fact they went to college. Regardless of their intellectual capacity, work ethic, grades and abilities, they deserve something. I have never heard a more asinine argument in my life. And then you have the nerve to say it is an injustice of our society. Let me try your way of debating to help you understand my views:

are you serious?...this groupie said 'one of your best posts ever' like he posted some groundbreaking dissertation on what is currently taking place in our country and in the world...either say something relevant or don't say anything...Originally Posted by WITNESSkb24

I wish people would really examine and analyze what is going on here instead of framing it within the whims of these protestors...these protestors represent popular sentiment to an overall dying culture and social hierarchyOriginally Posted by cartune
Im not rich by no means yet but I am getting my entrepreneur on and doing better than most my age.
The only thing separating an employee from a CEO/Owner is knowledge not education. There are books available to EVERYONE that literally walk you through how to build a business and become wealthy. If you want it its out there for you.
I wish people would get this whoa is me sentiment out of their head. Maybe it will be harder on you now because you're married with 3 kids and $20,000 in debt. You dont have the time to create a business but who's fault is that the "powers that be?" Not saying that having a family is a mistake but you cant have your cake and eat it too.
America is the greatest country in the world there are vast opportunities for everyone. Your past is nobody's fault but your own. The people at the top are looking out for themselves..Why dont you?

Better do something because these will be the people camping out and rioting in the future.

good, let them camp out and riot ... That's what the second amendment is for ... I have a 12 gauge and a .45 if they cross my threshold ...
Yea, you do have to share the planet with other people. Heck, that's what I worry about, other people getting desperate out here. People have been robbed at gunpoint in broad daylight around the corner from my job.Originally Posted by msaba07
Yeah they will probably have weapons ... Then we will all be some dead mo fos ... I don't understand your point ... I'm supposed to be worried about some people rioting who might have weapons ...
