As someone who 100% paid for college and law school by working and getting scholarships, I think community colleges and State colleges should be free. - jnine Aug 3, 09:47
i also paid off my school debt. i would be happy for everyone else to not have that burden. -- nm - chicken daddy Aug 3, 09:37
I don't get this reasoning. At all. - JaxSean Aug 3, 09:32 2
- Probably none. It's usually hard on people to have their closely held beliefs challenged, even just rhetorically. -- (edited) - con_carne Aug 3, 09:45

- No one chooses to get cancer ... horrible analogy, you should be ashamed -- nm - rollo Aug 3, 09:28 2
  - You should be ashamed to choose the "I suffered, so should you" path. -- nm - TWuG Aug 3, 09:30 1
    - Who said I suffered? -- nm - rollo Aug 3, 09:35
For me, go get the predatory shit, and maybe give a small foregiveness overall but people need to account for their own choices at some point. - Will Hunting Aug 3, 09:21 2
- yup -- nm - Beaker Aug 3, 09:49
- Agree ... in line with my response below to kilbo -- nm - rollo Aug 3, 09:28
I don’t know what the right answer is here, but I’m pretty sure this is the wrong one. :) -- nm - znufrii Aug 3, 09:19
As a parent, you did right by your kids and their future. As a country, I'm of the mind we should do right by our citizens and their future - oblique Aug 3, 09:12 2
- "No other options" ... community college can be a great bargain, knocking out core/elective classes before you go elsewhere to pay for a name school - rollo Aug 3, 09:27 1
  - Shit guys… Tennessee has a program to handle this. 2 years free for trade / community college. Tennessee! -- (link) - Will Hunting Aug 3, 09:35
But that's just the price of being an early adopter, eh? -- nm - Max Aug 3, 09:10
As someone that dropped out largely due to finances, so was I. But I want the country to be a better place and if free tuition and canceling it can - Spawn Aug 3, 09:07
