    Your wrong on the learning nothing part. Young kids are learning something; they are learning how to hate their country...it's awesome

    Some of them undoubtedly are. I've had "professors" like that before. Any effect they had wasn't permanent.

    It depends on the person. There are a lot more sheep than there are people like you. The socialist agenda is a death by duck bite approach, but the result is the same.

    I agree, but think that many people are just like me, and can be easily persuaded by those in their environment. I have a friend who once quipped to me about how the liberal mindset works great in college, but once you enter the real world, fiscal conservatism makes a very strong case for itself. College is okay, but I think students should try and spend as little time there as possible.

    Theres the difference between you and lots of millenials. It seems a lot of kids don't want to leave the college life anymore.

    That's not new, or confined to millennials. My dad's three sisters were what he referred to as professional students. That was the 60's through the 80's, until my grandfather cut them off and told them to get jobs. It is far easier to avoid responsibility on someone else's dime. My old man paid his own way, and made me do the same. I am very glad he did too.
