    Clearly discussing the topic is causing some major meltdowns. And the irony is the article references a couple of labor (read: Democratic) economists and their research. But that aside there's nothing partisan about the article or topic.

    Well, I think my point is a little different than that. Parents want a 'good life' for their children. You know, when the Trust Fund just won't cover everything.

    So fucking whiny.

    I didn't derail the thread, YOU DID. I took what you wrote specifically to task. I quoted it directly. You are the one who refused to defend yourself, deciding instead to appeal to the authority of the Op-Ed you posted, from which you drew all possible wrong conclusions.

    Then when I pointed out how inaccurate and incomplete your position was, you got mad at me instead of at yourself for being so fucking lazy and leaning on preconceived and prejudicial notions about education.

    Then you moved the bar from major to major.

    I couldn't even get to the Op-Ed because I was too awestruck by the blind ignorance of the conclusion you drew from it.

    Seriously, dude. Check yourself.
    When I die, turn me into a brick and use me to cave in the skull of a fascist

    So in your blind rage you misrepresent my statement and didn't read the OP. Sure, makes for a great response.

    And I'm not checking anything since you clearly have the problem.

    It's unfortunate your reading comprehension is so poor.

    Before copying the article, you put your own shitty, little cawacko spin on it to introduce the Op-Ed.

    It was that introduction that I quoted and took issue with because it was inaccurate. Completely inaccurate. You didn't want to talk about how it was inaccurate, and all the posts where I explained how it was inaccurate you didn't even acknowledge or respond to.

    What you did instead was say "well the Op-Ed says this and it's liberals so blah blah blah".

    Cawacko...I'm not disputing what the author of the piece said, or what those quoted in the piece said, I was disputing your half-assed summary and introduction of it.

    No, you follow a reality TV show host who conned you into voting for him because you're a racist moron.

    You flat out LIED about what I wrote because you chose to misrepresent it. You lie repeatedly. It's what you do.

    I quoted you directly, man.

    If you didn't mean what you said, why did you say it?

    It's not a comprehension thing, it's a you not holding yourself accountable thing.
