A deduction is nothing more than the government NOT taking as much money away from YOU. The $8k was YOUR own money, not someone else's.

That's awesome. That's how it was supposed to be done. Your daughter is a step ahead of the game! :)

I could quote a few replies and tell how our daughter who had a free ride @ CSU. Joined the .mil got married then divorced, paid off her loans. Took college classes through the VA, works for the state and has minimal debt. Along with a decent gun collection, that seems very similar to the guns some one stole from my safe.

INSTEAD i'm going to tell you how next years health care will be that much more affordable.............................In another thread ;)

Ran across this today and thought it was pretty good;
For thin-skinned college students, we have nobody to blame but ourselves

Ah yes, the Collective "WE". Individualism is and has been dead for some time.

Fixed it.

Hmmmm. A thread was recently deleted from GD. Did the thin skinned...oh forget it.

Edit: before I get a nasty gram: I was going to write, "Did the thin skinnned have an influence there?"

F-it. I'm the bad guy either way now.

This past week, I actually had a student come forward after a university chapel service and complain because he felt “victimized” by a sermon on the topic of 1 Corinthians 13. It appears that this young scholar felt offended because a homily on love made him feel bad for not showing love. In his mind, the speaker was wrong for making him, and his peers, feel uncomfortable.

I’m not making this up. Our culture has actually taught our kids to be this self-absorbed and narcissistic. Any time their feelings are hurt, they are the victims. Anyone who dares challenge them and, thus, makes them “feel bad” about themselves, is a “hater,” a “bigot,” an “oppressor,” and a “victimizer.”

I have a message for this young man and all others who care to listen. That feeling of discomfort you have after listening to a sermon is called a conscience. An altar call is supposed to make you feel bad. It is supposed to make you feel guilty. The goal of many a good sermon is to get you to confess your sins—not coddle you in your selfishness. The primary objective of the Church and the Christian faith is your confession, not your self-actualization.

And now you know why there is a push to remove religion. No one wants a conscience.
