Nonsense. everynametaken Send a noteboard - 31/05/2010 03:01:32 AM
Certainly, there can be some kind of exception during a time of total war, but to make every person sign away two years or their lives just because you think it's "good" for society is horrific. Enforced slavery to the state. Lovely.


It is called paying for the benefits of living in this society. Under my plan to live in this society is not a free hand out earned by the luck of being born into it, rather the benefits of this society are earned by working for them. That is not slavery.
But wine was the great assassin of both tradition and propriety...

I think she's still slightly below the national average. Tom - 30/05/2010 04:26:16 PM 727 Views
I am uncertain if she is working full time. cmdjing - 31/05/2010 12:57:29 AM 814 Views
Have to agree here ... The_Muted_Grimaud - 30/05/2010 05:54:54 PM 728 Views
It's a column, not a real article... and it's more critical than you suggest. Legolas - 30/05/2010 04:02:26 PM 727 Views
No it isn't. Tom - 30/05/2010 04:24:20 PM 760 Views

Very bad life planning, and sadly, it's not an isolated case. Tom - 31/05/2010 04:01:46 AM 679 Views
Same. Humanities, while necessary, are something of a luxury given the numbers. *NM* Ghavrel - 31/05/2010 07:35:25 AM 377 Views

100% in your camp here. LadyLorraine - 31/05/2010 04:35:45 AM 642 Views
I don't see the point in a humanities major if you aren't planning to get more than a bachelor's. Ghavrel - 31/05/2010 07:41:40 AM 841 Views
srsly. way to devalue a bachelor's degree, american society 9_9 LadyLorraine - 31/05/2010 08:07:47 AM 637 Views
I have a BA in English Literature. Rebekah - 31/05/2010 11:20:28 AM 763 Views

Heh. True fact. *NM* Rebekah - 01/06/2010 09:56:09 AM 269 Views
That's kind of a weak reason, though. Ghavrel - 31/05/2010 11:11:49 PM 670 Views
I'm pretty sure I didn't use that as my reason... Rebekah - 31/05/2010 11:15:32 PM 689 Views
That's true, although I don't know how many jobs that's useful for. Ghavrel - 01/06/2010 01:20:29 AM 663 Views
That's fine. And I didn't go to Uni to get a job. I went for the education. Rebekah - 01/06/2010 09:29:28 AM 847 Views
I want to make clear that I, as a humanities major, really do like the humanities. Ghavrel - 01/06/2010 09:37:39 AM 838 Views
I know. Rebekah - 01/06/2010 09:55:41 AM 758 Views
