You remind me of my father when he had to put up with my stupid liberal ideas at 18. Never as stupid as this kid, I hope, but like most kids, I eventually returned home.

A painful exchange with a young student who's organizing for free public colleges, cancellation of all student debt and $15/hour minimum wage for all campus employees. She doesn't really know how to pay for it, unfortunately.

If that’s what she is learning in college then she should just demand a refund. I’d even tell that school they should be ashamed that they produced that thought process.
With 90% of their income: their fair share.
We are finished. It will just take a while before everyone realizes it.
"Okay, all of you who make more than 100 million dollars are one-percenters; we're going to take all of your money."
Two months later ...
Okay, all of you who make more than 50 million dollars are now the one-percenters. We're going to take all of YOUR money.
Two months later ...
Okay, all of you who make more than one million dollars are now the one-percenters. We're going to take all of YOUR money.
Ad infinitum .. until those making more than pocket change per week become the one-percenters.
Ford’s films celebrated true American values. He was probably the kind of Democrat who - like RR - felt that the party left him.
There is no way you have blonde hair. At least not out of a bottle. With your attitude there is no way you are under 75.
You have no idea of what background I have in the arts. But clearly you do. So I bow to your “expertise.”
How could I allow my years of movie watching to affect an opinion. You know what you like. And what I should like. I will be pleased to let you know when I am off to the movies and you can let us al know what we are allowed to like.
Because the last thing I want to do is piss off an old woman on the Internet.
I guess I am ignorant. I am not sure what being a cultural desert is. Or did you mean dessert? Because I like dessert. My favorite is a banana split. How about you?
Yes. They have no clue as to what the real world is like and the nutty parents support their little darlings. They can not have them losing party time by working. Oh, no! If students had done the nonsense going on today back when I was in college, we would have been kicked out. Their little feelings must not be hurt. Grow up.
You don’t even appear to be very smart.
Very few have any common sense today. It is like they do not know how to think.
Nope. I am barely a functioning idiot. It’s amazing that I can get dressed in the morning.
They have help for that at the home, right?
That was my thought too. Well stated.
BTW, where does that “1% have more wealth than the other 99% all together” BS come from? Even if true, does that airhead think the 1% is going to allow it to all be stolen from them?
Not that painful. There may be for that young mind.
I began to think there may be hope when she said, "America was the bastion of capitalism and it's success".

Everyday I believe that more and more. Just look around, I remember a time where Communism was considered a horrible thing, millions of people DIED because of Communism and now people want it back they consider Communism to be a wonderful thing, its what they have been taught by leftist professors, these same leftist professors who are being forced out of Universities due to actions they helped orchestrate. Now we have millions of students demanding freebies from Mommy and Daddy Govt, its truly sickening
Ping.
I don’t care who you like or dislike, you were insulting to miss marmelstein, and there was no reason to stoop to rude behavior.
Hey, imagine what you want if it makes you happy. But I can easily judge people on their knowledge of film or their lack of knowledge. You revealed yourself ignorant immediately with suspecting that a private comment of the Duke was written by some unknown left-wing writer. You thought it was cute without knowing that a fellow freeper was reading it with far more knowledge than you had in your brain pan.
Can you name which one wrote the Duke’s remark? Trumbo? Riskin? Manchowitz?
Then you went on to make cliched comments about his acting which would embarrass Garry Wills, for Pete’s sake.
You’ve been beaten on this. Go home and heat YOUR tv dinner.
I don’t go on engineering threads or plumbing threads because I know nothing about it, but, for some reason, everyone thinks they can give their opinion on the art of acting without knowing anything about it. Puzzling, to say the least.
You’re very nice.
Sometimes we actually do find women haters on FR. So very few but when we do - phew!
Here’s the reply I posted:
This selfish little sponge wants her socialism paid for but then rejects taxing the top 1% at 100% because “that would be on the road to socialism”. Her “incredibly middle class family” that’s on various forms of government assistance just to scrape by enough to pay for her college education. I have news for her parents: “You wasted your money.”
