So the article is true, but you don’t like it because it’s from WSJ? Let me guess, I should be reading CNN, TheHill or WaPo? If people keep demanding sensationalist news that drives people to action then you’ll end up with people that mistr

Does this refusal of medicine extend to those who are incompetent? For example, if someone staples their finger to the wall should they be allowed to seek medical help? What about a car accident due to texting while driving? What about some

My next question is how did this organization get the security clearances required to know what missile defenses we have?

Yea I don’t want to pay taxes for someone pursuing something worthless. You missed the point.

I mean some would. Usually the jobs where people care about having a degree would. Like research. The rest of us, sure. But then again, that means you waisted money.

Ah no, I never said it was affordable, that’s putting words in my mouth and you’re now bowing out because you found out you weren’t poor. Education isn’t affordable but I still think people should pay their loans, especially if their parent

Well rarely do you see someone on a Pell grant moving states to go to school, cause now room and board and food come into play. There’s at least one site showing (oddly enough) private schools with lower tuition than Penn State as well as s

My Pell grant was around $1200/term. It was enough to cover tuition, supplies and still have enough for a refund at the end of the term of about $200. The amount you get is based on your financial need amongst other things, so likely y
