See when you give something away for free for years some think they are owed for, well, being alive.

Chicago's version though we have no Prince

Lady has a free 5 bedroom apartment for 20 plus years and wants to decide where her next free apartment should be? LMAO

Break out the FIRING SQUAD for these heathens! How dare they be frustrated?!? They should be happy to have a Queen!!!

College tuition has been going up for over 30 years in America. College Professors need a pay cut.

Postage went up again? Attack the Post Office!

Free? There is no "free". You mean exactly like how we subsidize our state university tuition in the same way, through state tax dollars? (England funds tuition breaks through their tax system for public university). What do you think would happen if the tuition at every state university in our country suddenly tripled (yes, I know our state university system is not connected across states) simultaneously went from $5,000 a semester to $15,000 a semester? (in England, that $5K is what they pay a year, and it has gone to $15K a year.)

If my tuition suddenly tripled in the middle of my course towards a degree, I'd get furious, too! It tripled, Dell.

Turns out the violence was contributed to by teens, non-college students rampaging with the crowds. Alot of the demonstrations was peaceful.

Unfortunately looked alot like what happened outside the Democratic Convention in Chicago in 1968.

if they offered college here at $4500 max/year here you'd have a point but since that's what my nieces and nephews pay for grammar school you don't have a clue!

Yea same thing! :zz::zz:

Had nothing to do with the Viet Nam war! :wf

BTW I think a relative of mine was there making an idiot of himself!

"A point" Seriously? :D What your niece and nephew pay for private grammar school has nothing at all to do with what we are talking about.

You said, "See when you give something away for free for years some think they are owed for, well, being alive."

You are the one talking about something you clearly don't know anything about. It's not "free", its subsidized by tax dollars everyone pays in England, they pay a decreased cost. They pay about $5,000 per year, and it was just raised to $15,000 per year out of nowhere. Tripled. Could you afford that as a parent?

And that is virtually identical to college in the US at state universities for about $4500 per semester (varies of course), where that low cost is subsidized by state tax dollars (exactly as school is subsidized in England by tax dollars) and if that tuition tripled suddenly we'd have student revolts (and parent revolts), too.

So if you want to rag about "freeloaders", you might realize you sound really foolish, as they pay for their educations. But if you want to rag on it, be sure you rag on every single college student and their parents in America, who attend a state-subsidized university, and call them "freeloaders" too, so at least you are consistent with who you denigrate.

And my comment regarding what went on outside the Democratic convention refers to student-police violence, not to the cause of the demonstration.

Freeloaders are students who get tuition for free and grow accustomed to it as it's a given.

Here in the U.S. we never had have that unless you show some talent that will either benefit the University, society or someone was generous enough (oops usually a person making 250K plus) to put them thru.

Here in America they do it the ole fashion way, 'THEY EARN IT'

if only public housing and welfare for generation after generation was run the same!
