EECS Lines: 42 Re: My heart bleeds for you. Had to kick in for two quarters of education. Who the hell are you that you think you are OWED money for education? Why don't you get that chip off your shoulder and wake up and smell the coffee? (I know it's a mixed metaphor, but who cares). I'm getting disgusted with all of these mealy mouthed wimps who seem to think the public coffer is a bottomless gold mine. Can't they do anything for themselves. Dammit, I shoveled snow, washed cars, dug ditches, and busted my hump to pay for my education. There were no free lunches when I went to school. Yeah, I know what your saying, "Oh, one of those OLD bastards who is always trying to put us down". Well, maybe I am, but I am a damnsite more proud of what I did to get an education than most people. Get off your hump and do something if you want an education. I'm damned tired of paying for the education of sniveling little wimps who want everything handed to them on a silver platter. T. C. Wheeler ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey, bud ... Have you ever tried shoveling $14,000 worth of snow a year in order to get a top-notch technical education ?? Besides, you should be GLAD to HELP US PAY (in most cases we're not asking for a free lunch, just a little break) for our education, that way 25 years from now, WE can pay for your social security/retirement/ whatever govt. services and tax breaks that you'll be getting (not to mention doing work that will keep society running instead of hanging out at the welfare office) !!
