If you pay into obamacare for 45 years, then we'll talk.

You are in support of paying into a healthcare program before being able to access its benefits?

I was NOT taking about those courses, I WAS taking about these

1. "What If Harry Potter Is Real?" (Appalachian State University)

2. "God, Sex, Chocolate: Desire and the Spiritual Path" (UC San Diego)

3. "GaGa for Gaga: Sex, Gender, and Identity" (The University Of
Virginia)

They really take out student loans for this crap?

4. "Lady Gaga and the Sociology of Fame" (The University Of South
Carolina)

5. "Philosophy And Star Trek" (Georgetown)

6. "Invented Languages: Klingon and Beyond" (The University Of Texas)

7. "The Science Of Superheroes" (UC Irvine)

8. "Learning From YouTube" (Pitzer College)

9. "Arguing with Judge Judy" (UC Berkeley)

10. "Elvis As Anthology" (The University Of Iowa)

11. "The Feminist Critique Of Christianity" (The University Of
Pennsylvania)

12. "Zombies In Popular Media" (Columbia College)

13. "Far Side Entomology" (Oregon State)

14. "Interrogating Gender: Centuries of Dramatic Cross-Dressing"
(Swarthmore)

15. "Oh, Look, a Chicken!" Embracing Distraction as a Way of Knowing
(Belmont University)

16. "The Textual Appeal of Tupac Shakur" (University of Washington)

17. "Cyberporn And Society" (State University of New York at Buffalo)

18. "Sport For The Spectator" (The Ohio State University)

19. "Getting Dressed" (Princeton)

20. "How To Watch Television" (Montclair)

How are the following classes worth being taught? I mean Cross Dressing and Klingon, give me a break.

Well leftist are nothing more then children, and that is what children do, name call, and throw tamper tantrums.

It’s nothing more than childlike emotionalism applied to adult issues.

So unless we look toward setting these up on the state level, it is unknown how the system can work for entire US. It is a game I don't want to try to play.

I will go to college and get a degree in Business and Software, and well a something in AC Repair. If you are going to spend time and money on something, have it have value and marketability.

Drop the whole "you hate college" bit you leftest always pull. sometimes its better to not go to college if you are going to waste time and money and learn nothing but crap.

I bolded the courses I would take. These are not courses I would look as mental stimulation but I would NOT make them a major. The same with a pro-wrestling, The Simpsons and Bruce Springsteen based courses. I don't understand why one cannot take part in a course like this for mental stimulation and not for skills. Nothing is exactly wrong with that, is it?

And what are you charitable with? I thought you millennials keep saying how you can't find a job. More charitable with other peoples money maybe. It's easy to be generous when it doesn't come out of your pocket.

Charity does not just include money. You can give your time and sweat as well. So for instance, donating blood is a form of charity as is helping building house through Habitat for Humanity.

Nobody is saying anything about us millennials not going to be creating wealth while being charitable in some way whether it passing down clothes or offering time to a good cause.

But you nitwits blindly followed Obama, and now you're about to get the bill for your unthinking allegiance.

This post from Kurt Shclichter perfectly encapsulates my feelings -

"You Millenials voted for Obama by a margin of 28 percent, which will make it a lot easier for me to accept the benefits you will be paying for. We warned you that liberalism was a scam designed to take the fruits of your labor and transfer it to us, the older, established generation. Oh, and also to the couch-dwelling, Democrat-voting losers who live off of food stamps and order junk from QVC with their Obamaphones.

No. There’s no sugar-coating it – your votes for Democrats have ensured that you are the first generation in American history that will fail to exceed what their parents attained. Embracing liberalism was a stupid thing to do, done for the stupidest of reasons, and I will now let you subsidize my affluent lifestyle without a shred of guilt."

Maybe Pain Will Teach You Millenials Not To Vote For Your Own Serfdom - Kurt Schlichter - Page 1

I don't feel bad for my older kids. They smugly voted for Obama twice. Now they can't afford their own healthcare. I do feel bad for my 14 yr old...Obama has him in a lifelong bondage he'll never escape.

But me? You morons will be paying for my healthcare while you struggle to pay off your school loans as you work at crappy jobs.

Liberalism is based in emotion rather than reality so these sorts of things won't make a dent in it. If they vote in Democrats who make a horrible business climate and then they can't get jobs, they won't blame the politicians they elected. They'll blame the greedy selfish businesses, and then elect more liberal politicians to fix the problem. The problem that the last set of liberal politicians created.

You can see the truth of this with the liberals railing against insurance companies for cancelling policies. The liberals create a law which mandates insurance coverage, then they get bent out of shape at the horrible insurance companies for cancelling policies which don't meet the mandates. The very same mandates that they themselves set.

Like Democrat Mary Landrieu. She's announced she is going to introduce legislation to allow people to keep their insurance policies even if they don't meet the mandated minimums. This is after the congressional record shows that she voted No on 2010 legislation introduced to allow people to keep their insurance even if they don't meet the mandated minimums.
