What is it with young people today? They want everything paid for by someone else and don't want to work for anything.

That is fantastic, I am happy to see them exercise their first amendment rights.
I have a solution for them. They can join the Army National Guard and obtain that free education!

The standards have been changed in parenting, we don't want our children to suffer like we did so what do we do, we spoil them and they then assume the whole world is entitled to tell them yes and give them stuff for free.

The only free things that I have ever received were @$$whippings from my single mother who raised me on her own. Come to think of it, I guess I earned those! Guess that means nothing is free. I say suck it up. Your not entitled to jack.

There has been a steep rise in costs associated with attending a public university over the past several decades which has far outpaced wages, and inflation. This has led to many individuals to take on large amounts of student debt to pay for an education.

For the most part the people I am hearing about want the system to be more fair for them, which requires them to go into a great deal of debt for an education that they are told is necessary. While college should not be free, it should not cost what it does at public universities.

I will give an example of wildland firefighting, which an individual could do for 3 months during the summer, and could walk away with enough cash to make it to the next spring. The individual may need to find some light work during the winter if they needed some extra cash, but it was possible only 15 years ago. Now a wildland job for one semester that can be taken between extended seasons (6-8 Months), or along with another job all winter.

There is a point to be taken away, again college shouldn’t be free, but it should be affordable if it is going to be as necessary as it is in today’s society.

Their lives would have been even "harder" if they had my mother as their mother. Mom always said "If you want it, work for it."

Looks like the age of entitlement has a new twist! These kids need to learn a new word – “NO!”

Because they feel entitled to everything.

Bernie Sanders is an idiot - His free stuff is going to cost $18 trillion and he says he going to get that from raising taxes. Funny thing is if no one is working and all the corporations go off shore there is nothing to tax. Sanders’ remarks inspired student organizers to create a Facebook page to start planning the type of march that he was referencing.

come on... SSgt Alex Robinson just put it on a credit card... that's not real money
