....lybob Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 tremendously high youth unemployment + increasing college fees 100% to 200% + all other types of austerity cuts in services + ignoring polls in the 70%- 80% that show the peoples will and instead legislating for special interests = what could go wrong.

I agree with the very first part, then you start getting a little wacky. You can also add in to the mix, broken homes, bad influences and hooligans just being hooligans. I have first hand experience in observing this sort of occurrence, we would see it all the time in Bolivia, and when you have much of the youth that is unemployed, it is just natural to see this sort of deal. It just usually needs some sort of spark to get this going. In regards to increasing college fees, yeah, I'm pretty sure hopeful college students aren't the main ones who are causing this ruckus. But, way to throw in your partisan shillness Edited August 9, 2011 by Magox
3rdnlng Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) For Elma Fudd youtube.com/watch?v=dPbMsZM-eO4&feature=feedu There feel better now. What the white teens did was reprehensible. I agree with The Young Turks---they should be sent away for life. Maybe even have their legs driven over by a car before being locked up. Why is it though that the commentators have to shoot their mouths off in their commentary in order to advance their agenda? Start listening at about the 4 minute mark. Do they really believe what they are saying? Whether they do or not they don't have any credibility with me. Edited August 9, 2011 by 3rdnlng

But, way to throw in your partisan shillness If a middle-class kid who's finished high-school can't afford to go to college he enters the labor market probably doing something menial- which takes a job a high-school drop-out could have done. Part of the austerity cuts eliminated youth training and youth activities. Government that ignores the will and need of the masses creates pissed off people and if you get to a tipping point it can spread like a contagion and angry or fearful people do irrational things. So many of the cold financial types think hey we will just cut off X amount from programs and we will save X amount- like they think the people those cuts effect will of course just sit in a corner and take it- they can't imagine unintended consequences mainly I think because they view people as abstractions and can't put themselves in other peoples situation.

That seems oddly significant...

Don't forget closing industry's that family's had worked in for generations and 20% inflation. Oh wait that was when I graduated from West Seneca West.
....lybob Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 Don't forget closing industry's that family's had worked in for generations and 20% inflation. Oh wait that was when I graduated from West Seneca West. West Seneca West meh kinda sissy, Riverside was a man's school- and you forget our riots and the reason UB's campus expansion was built in an Amherst swamp without a center hub instead of downtown Buffalo, of the 5 major industries that employed us three closed down completely and the other two lost whole shifts and laid people off the shifts they retained I watch the neighborhood go from a nice blue collar middle-class to pretty poor and beat in a 7-8 year period. There were no riots in the neighborhood except for the race riots the first year they integrated the schools- btw if you ever check the historical crime statistics you'll find that most categories of crime peaked between 1979 and 1983 and they have been coming down ever since at least to 2007 after which I can't find data.
OCinBuffalo Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 I have a simple and straightforward solution to the "one size fits all" failed socialist approach to college funding. If you want a degree in Women's(or any other identity) studies, that has next to 0 chance of making you employable by anybody other than than government, or the University where you get said degree, then you should have to pay for it yourself. Note: I am not talking about all of the liberal arts and social sciences, just the ones that have proven by now to be less than useful to society. We should give a lot more scholarships in History and Econ, not social studies mind you, because far too few people have a fuggin clue that "we've already been down this road". If you pursue a degree in something we need = science and math, we help you pay for it. Of course, we still apply the income-based parameters we have, and get rid of all racially-based parameters. There is simply no point in creating more useless government eaters, that politicians have to create programs/grants for, so that they can find a home. There is no point in awarding anything to anybody based on anything other than merit.
