If they have nicer cars, nicer house, nicer anything then you, you're not trying hard enough. Welfare does not pay that well. They may be selling drugs or made good investments with their outrageous income tax returns, but the actual welfare check and food stamps does not afford them these luxuries.

Lol, not much i can do while taking 18 credits and working 24 hours a week. I get to pay 20k to go to college, while another race gets to go to the same program for free? wtf

I think you make a logical case, but I disagree on one big issue. We are free to vote for the choices we are given. One of the main reasons politicians refuse to truly address election reform is all that money it takes to finance a candidacy for national, or even state level, office position means you are either a multi-millionaire willing to spend your own personal money on it, or it comes from being supported by the powers that be (international banking cartels and the corporations they own). The average person 'cant get there from here'.
We are free within the confines that they allow us to be free.

You are watching this happen people. Learn about "Fractional reserve lending". Figure out who owns the "Federal" Reserve bank (who our government BORROWS its money from).... He who pays the piper picks the tune....

vv& there it is........ a prison without bars!!

have a little look over HERE if you've got some time to kill ... Alex Jones makes some interesting points.... IMO

Alex Jones is a raving arsehole IMO. Some of his earlier movies were pretty good but the last few years he's just firebombed any credibility he had with me with some of his shenannigans.... Too much fear-mongering, spin, and sensationalism for a while now. Better people out there preaching freedom that can do it in a normal tone of voice and stick to non-embelished facts.

I work full time and I'm working on a Master's Degree. I have about 80k in loans that I will be lucky if I can pay it off. I agree with you that it is not fair that people get to go to school for free while others have to pay. I hope that you are successful once you graduate!

But believe me, a lot of my family is poor, some are lazy, some work hard, but I know first hand that welfare does not pay very well. Also, just for the record, I hate that I have to pay for my health insurance when others get assistance or just don't care about their credit.

On a side note, I hate going to the ER because it's forever smelling like lack of ambition and someone who was smoking while deep frying. ALso, why do poor people always where staerter jackets of the most obscure teams like the Teutopolis Wooden Shoes?

Got proof? I went to school and it wasn't free. Got academic scholarships because I'm smart, no govt aid cause my fam makes plenty money. I think you should get to know more black college students past and present before make outraageous and unfactual claims then complaining about them.

first off, did i ever say black students? No.

I wasnt aiming that at any certain race, but i had a different one other than "black students" in mind anyways.

And got proof of what? How much i owe?

 

[thegreatestpenn 5,000+ posts]

Proof that another race gets to go "for free." Only people I know with free rides had purely academic scholarships, not because they were simply one ethnicity with no other deciding factor. But ill let u do your rant thing. We all wanna gripe about something so go at it.

A Pell Grant is a post-secondary educational Federal grant sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education. It is named after U.S. Senator Claiborne Pell, Democrat of Rhode Island,[1] and was originally known as a Basic Educational Opportunity Grant. Grants, which do not require repayment, are awarded based on a financial need formula determined by Congress using criteria submitted through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form.

The Pell Grant is covered by legislation titled the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA), Title IV, Part A, Subpart 1; 20 U.S.C. 1070a.

Because Pell Grants are targeted toward students from low-income families, recipients are often used by researchers to count low-income students and to indicate the economic diversity of the student body.

Quoting founding fathers from chain emails? Always a bad idea. If someone ever quotes a 'founding father' without referencing exactly where they wrote what is being quoted you should be very skeptical. This is the third or fourth time I've had to correct someone on this forum alone about using quotes miss-attributed to founding fathers (i think every one was Jefferson). All you have to do is copy and paste the quote into google and you'll more than likely be able to immediately see whether it is real or fake.

Your link verifies the quote hispls used is a relatively famous presumed-misquote (no known evidence of him saying it, only hearsay and invalid references). But the link also verifies Jefferson's mistrust of banks if given too much power/freedom, which I think was hispls' over all point. And I think in the past few years Wall Street has proven that to be very true.

Ok, maybe free was the wrong word. A lot of the minority based races do get chances at more scholarships and/or grants then the majority. Just like employment, companies get quotas for how many of a certain race they must have working there and a certain amount of woman. Thats crap. Now if someone is better qualified than another, by all means, they deserve that job more.

I have seen this first hand at work...
