Now really... if your stupid enough to be driving around with your bong on the front seat, are you REALLY college material?

First, it is "you're" not "your" in that usage. Did you get caught with a bong or a joint?? Second he had a 3.8 in high school.

I can't understand people who cannot see that this is moronic. He could have raped and pillaged, and he would get financial aid, but to get caught with a bong? MAYBE if he were dealing, but to deprive him of aid because he was catching a buzz at 18 years old is ridiculous. We want productive members of society to pay our social security, not burger flippers.

And besides, whatever happened to paying for your own damn college, anyway?

The same thing that happened to self paying your medical bills. The government got involved and the costs skyrocketed.

You took the words right out of my mouth. I helped pay for my college education by working, parents funded the rest, and I went to a CA state campus, as it was cheaper, I did'nt want or need a $20K loan hanging over me. I knew plenty of kids who worked full time and studied full time, and they all went on to big things, the kiddies who were there on daddy's dime either dropped out, got worthless degrees and went to work in retail, or just drifted off somewhere.

College became a "right" in the 60's, and that attitude has screwed it all up ever since. I used to always grit my teeth when my dad said "Someone needs to dig ditches and pump gas"...but he was right. The only problem is, the ditch diggers now demand college education as a "right", and they get it. They prop up their "right" to a college degree with the fact that many more employers require a degree...but they can never quite justify why a job like that is their "right".
