No comments on the community college point that I made?
When I was 18, I scored above 1300 / 1600 on my SATs, and was therefore led to believe that community college was beneath me - and attending anything less than a private school would be doing a disservice to my budding intellect.
I do regret not starting at a community college, but please understand that as a "brilliant young man", I was under tremendous pressure from my parents and my school counselors to attend the best school to which I was admitted.
The best school to which I was admitted entrance cost 37,000 USD $ per year. Hardly affordable for me or my family, but that didn't matter.
Getting back on topic, here's a vid on

Getting back off-topic:
First, I am all for civil disobedience, non-violent protests, not paying taxes, watching big banks, etc. implode.
Then there was some initial confusion about the OP and who owed who what, and to those who read the thread, it was cleared up. Then you came in with your guns blazing saying fuck people who lent other people money under honest terms, don't pay back those debts and fuck other people who disagree because they don't read gud! More or less. And you give links showing how student debt and tuition has risen.
Then I was a little cocky with my response to that because, hey this is a public forum and eavesdropping is OK...and I didn't fully clarify one of my thoughts so I gave you some more ammo, etc.
which brings us to your last post about your situation and how you came to this debt that you agreed to. I can relate a bit because I was not guided by my parents very well, whereas you were misguided by your parents. I'm OK with my parents because they gave us the essentials and raised us way better than they were raised...and I am raising my kids way better than I was. That's all one can ask of his/her parents I think.
Your parents were not "impressionable young 18 year olds who don't know jack shit about the world" but they guided you into a school and debt that you did not need. They read those documents I assume and gave you the OK. They told anyone who would listen that you were going to a private school and may or may not have felt superior when in the company of parents of public/community/state students.
The private school costs just like the luxury SUV costs. And the lenders provided it. I personally do without, that's how I fight. The only lenders get my money are the mortgage company and my wife's student loans. But she's part Italian so it's OK that she's fascist?
Hell yes, fuck the banks! I do agree with you partially, but not the stealing part.
