College is a good way for young people to spend four or five years learning to drink, date, and party. Some of them even get a bit of an education.
It's an essential part of living a life of leisure and privilege in modern industrial society. And it should be free for everyone that wants it.
- rayiner 10y agoThe fact that learning to drink, date, and party is the main thing most people get out of college is why I don't think the government should be footing the bill for it.
- CN7R 10y agoI don't believe that "free tuition" should means a blank check to do whatever. That being said, I'm for the government funding the education of its citizens; but those who recieve government money should have to take certain subjects and pass those classes with an acceptable grade (B's or above).
- WildUtah 10y agoDo you think the government shouldn't be footing the bill for senior citizens to drink, party, tour national parks, use up the national V14gr4 reserves, and generally lay about recreationally? I think Social Security retirement pensions are an essential part of a quality modern lifestyle and an important job of government. So is a leisurely four year college experience for anyone that can invest enough intellectual effort to read a few books and keep passing most of his classes.
