  1. Yea I personally wouldn't teach my kids to go into IT. To me, she would be better off to have a strong math back ground, enough computer science classes to do data structures and algorithms, computational logic, statistical modeling, and a finance degree. People that can do data modeling based on business issues to create solutions I can see being in high demand for years to come.

     

    Even if that isn't her cup of tea. . . knowing how to weld, do basic framing around a house, wiring, and drywall/plaster will give her the options to rebuild just about anything in her house down the road or do it as a trade.

  2. If GM had a flavor it would be water...

     

    They make nothing interesting, have VERY misleading commercials, and have a horrible sense of identity (IMO). I'm sorry to anyone who loves their GM (brand) vehicle, but the company has done little to change my mind since their bailout. I want to love the camaro, but every time I drive one, I can't see out of the damn thing and the new front end looks like a bloated man going for seconds at the "all you can eat" buffet.

     

    pretty spot on. I doubt my wife and I will ever buy a new car unless she had to travel stupid miles for work. The prices and the tons of options the new cars come with that i have zero use for is will likely always keep us away.

  3. I don't think a single person here is advocating that any political party is going to be a savior for anything.

     

    However....using that statement as an excuse as to why you shouldn't at least try to fix a system that nearly everyone feels is broken is deeply flawed logic.

     

    If you want to focus on your own life, and let someone else try to address the flaws in the system that's one thing, but don't be surprised if they rig it in their favor (as people in power have done in america since it was first settled). Just do your own thing, sit on the sidelines, and don't pay attention to politics. But you don't do that do you?

     

    Where I can't follow your logic is on these two points:

     

    1) you assume that advocating for addressing problems in a system means not working hard or getting some kind of handout

     

    2) you actively advocate against those trying to advance things that are in your own best interests, and you advocate for those who are working against your own interests.

     

    Tell me how you get from "I can personally overcome a broken system" to "we don't need to fix this obviously broken system"?

     

    your seeing a conclusion that isn't there. The system will never be perfect no matter what political party is in control and people would be better off spending there time bettering themselves.

     

    I have said this in previous post regarding the advise my grandmother gave my dad when he was young, "son don't wait around for white people to take care of you because it isn't going to happen." Keep in mind they grew in the heart of the segregation era.

  4. Sounds like cuck talk.

     

    not quite. It's more of if a person is not actively engaged in making more money or better themselves then no political system will help them long term. I work in management in a call center and it's unreal what you learn about society when on a good year 25% turn over when historical averages what 60% plus percent. Through my own failures and having to start from scratch due to my own piss poor decision making, I started to see a different way of life.

     

    Time is an investment and no one can improve ones financial future without them being engaged in moving forward. The "system" to keep you down is beatable if your focused on beating it. Just look at how enlisted soldiers built financial stability through gradual long-term sound decision making.
