Our world has become so entitled.

People think that they deserve what other's have, simply 'because'. People think that they deserve the same education as another person, even when they've worked less and have chosen to not put the effort into attaining grants, scholarships, federal loans, and private loans (all of which are very accessible, anyway). People think that they deserve healthcare, even when they made bad educational decisions, bad career decisions, and just 'because'. World, you need to realize something: You're not entitled to -blam!-. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSBFyZOhuKE]Watch this video.[/url] She explains exactly why you aren't entitled to things that negatively affect other people. Let me repeat that: YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO TAKE FROM OTHER PEOPLE. You want to know what you should do if you want a good education? Go to a decent public school. Instead of living in the -blam!- ghetto, why don't you move your damn family into low-income in a suburban area? I know it's not that easy, but I do know of a multitude of families that live in low-income housing, in suburban areas. Nice suburban areas, might I add. So even while you or your parents may be unemployed, you can still get a decent public education. Want a good higher education? Do good in public school. Apply for scholarships. Do well enough for grants. Take out a federal loan like every other student CAN do. Yes, all of you can do that. And do what other people do, too: take out loans with banks. Yes, YOU can do that, too. Want better healthcare? Get a higher education that means something. Don't get a job in women studies, because there aren't jobs worth -blam!- with that degree. Go into engineering. Go into business. Go into law. Go into medicine. Those all have GREAT job opportunities, even with a fairly high unemployment rate. You'll get a well-paying job that can support not only yourself, but your family, and all their healthcare needs. So in a concluding statement (and a tl;dr for those who can't read), take responsibility for your life. People don't owe you -blam!-. EDIT: I should probably mention that I do support universal child healthcare. Children didn't do anything to be put into the situation they're in, so if they're in poverty, they do deserve healthcare. [Edited on 06.29.2012 3:39 PM PDT]

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MyNameIsCharlie [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Sir Charles [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MyNameIsCharlie One side of the debate has philosophers, attorneys, scholars and great thinkers... the other, a blonde teen chick on youtube. I'll side with the blonde on youtube.[/quote] She has a degree in political science, so that makes her equal with whatever philosophers you make speak of. Oh, and there are a helluva lot of attorneys that don't want to pay for other people's -blam!-.[/quote] ...and? What difference does that make? I have a degree in history and an MBA. I've made both historical and business threads on here that have some of you still disagreeing with me, even though you are dead wrong. She has a camera and a smart assed voice. So, what gives her any more creedence in this debate? The second she started on "Obamacare" I knew she was a right wing nutjob. That phrase was created to demonize something that when looked at as individual pieces is deemed needed, is viewed as bad when looked at whole. No one seems to know anything about the debate, and are relying on others to do the critical thinking for them. OP, why don't you pay attention to a bunch of sources, synthesize the data and form an opinion of your own, instead of parading around here with regurgitated thought like it was your own.[/quote] I'm sorry, but weren't you the one that brought up professions, to begin with? You're the one who belittled her and made it seem like her thoughts were lesser than your own. You did this by saying that the "attorneys and scholars" on your side are much more educated than her. Yet, when I use the same argument against you, I'm somehow being a dumbass. Secondly, she's not a "right-wing nutjob". She's a libertarian. This means that she agrees with a lot of you liberals on social issues. But since you already think that you're entitled to healthcare, it doesn't matter anyway. Anyways, this is my opinion. I'm not "regurgitating" another person's viewpoint. I used her opinion as a second voice for the argument.
