There are a lot of technical and trade schools that I consider 'colleges' that offer the kind of training we're talking about. Not to beat it to death, but this debate usually centers around two points that have always bothered me...one, that somehow a traditional university degree in liberal arts/STEM/etc is fundamentally different from an associates/certification/diploma in one of the 'trades' and two, that the argument 'a college degree isn't for everyone' is almost always coming from someone who has one. It’s all in the definition. A college is a college, and a trade school is a trade school to me. Graduate school is graduate school. Internships are internships, etc.

4merper4mer Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Although it is a fact, not opinion, my realization that intelligent life does not exist elsewhere in the universe seems controversial. 1
RochesterRob Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 To go along with the college tangent here I piss a lot of people off by saying not everybody can be programmed into a white collar professional. 1

Gugny Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 People arrested for possession (without intent to sell)/use of opioids should go to rehab; not jail. Forcible rape should be life imprisonment with no parole, if found guilty. A person who falsely accuses someone of a crime should face the maximum penalty of said crime. Pedophiles/sexual predators should be sent to prison for life, no parole, as they cannot be rehabilitated. I believe in pro-choice. I believe in the right to die. I think everyone deserves healthcare. I think more money needs to be spent on preventing people from taking advantage of social services/SNAP/welfare, etc., because there are enough people who truly need it. I think it's too easy to become a police officer. I also think policemen and corrections officers are grossly underpaid. I think letting combat war veterans hold jobs that allow/require them to hold or use firearms is a mistake. 3

I think he is insinuating that 35% of them probably need someone to read the ballot to them. After reminding them what voting means of course. Scoring an 18 on the asvab is accomplish by drooling in patterns. Yes sarcasm. Family and best friend in the world are veterans, no disrespect at all. However, there are some people that are wicked dumb in the military because bullet catchers are needed. Edited January 20, 2019 by CoudyBills

Have to be prepared for anything. Budget each month and have an emergency fund. Get yourself through the rough patch. Often people just don't believe they can do better. Go out and get an education. This is America and the dream is still alive. Aim high.
snafu Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Everyone should serve in a branch of the armed forces for a minimum of two years and in peacetime, should be tasked to do public works projects. No one should be eligible for college admission without certified service. 1
Golden Goat Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Weed should be legalized nationwide for medicinal and recreational use. Controversial, perhaps, given that I'm not exactly left-of-center.
