No, see, you didn't work hard from day 1 (i.e. grade school on up). If you had, you could have applied for scholarships at top universities.

I agree that things need to change. I think the point is, instead of bitching about how bad things are, stop complaining and do something. When we couldn't find jobs, we made them. We didn't complain, give up, or cry, we sold shit out of our garages until we had full blown businesses and hired our friends etc. …

To be honest, anything a Baby Boomer says to me is automatically suspect. You idiots spent 50 fucking years sucking off the system and giving nothing back. You've left us all with a hollowed out infrastructure and a flattened financial system. So thanks for that. Don't worry, though. Your kids will clean up your mess…

THANK you! That was my thought on the subject. "HELP! I've racked up a zillion dollars in loads so I could take six years to finally get my bachelors in communications!"

Precisely. Where do people get off saying they should have their student loans "forgiven". What you are saying with that is that you should have a free education and be free of the responsibility for the decisions you made.

…and we all paid our fucking student loan bills, quietly without bitching (too much) about it.

Hey, at least you have Justin Beiber Norwood. ;P GEN X RULES! :D
