Yet another falling incident:
To give you an idea of the current record for this year already:
Not to mention the August incidents that they didn’t bother reporting. Remember these are the “best and brightest” that we send to college. No, I don’t think so anymore. A good majority of those who go to college I think go because they’re too dumb to do anything else.
They go to college racking up debt to get degrees in things that will never earn them enough money to pay it back. Again, remember what I was saying about them not really being the best and brightest. Then you have other incidents where someone claims that College is a right and that everyone should go.
Everyone has the right to attempt to obtain a college education. However just because you can attempt it, doesn’t mean you can afford it or that you will be admitted. It is up to the person to perform well enough to be admitted as well as find a way to finance their schooling. You do not have a right to force someone else to pay for your education. You do not have a right to be automatically admitted. You merely have a right to seek education, you do not have a right to have it handed to you.
Besides, you know what’s great about the internet, which you can use at your local library, and it’s also cheaper than going to college, you can self educate. There are piles upon piles of information out there if you’re willing to go find it and read it. The MIT Open Courseware is the best example of available information. I have gone through many of the courses trying to improve my knowledge on different subjects as well as supplementing what I already know.
The point of college at this point is to provide a little sheet of paper and certification that you are educated about “X”. The thing is, that certification is an investment and you had better invest wisely. My wife got two degrees, both in the sciences, however it was an actual certification that finally got her a job. All you get out of college now days is a piece of paper, most of them are worthless, a few are gold. If you’re paying for that piece of paper, I suggest making sure it’s gold and not pyrite.
TMM is the owner, editor, and principal author at The Minuteman, a competitive shooter, and staff member for Boomershoot. Even in his free time he’s merging his love and knowledge of computers and technology with his love of firearms.
Many know his private name and information however due to the current political climate, many are distancing themselves due to the abandonment of Due Process.
Well, with this evidence, maybe gun control advocates have a point that college students are too impulsive and stupid to allow concealed carry on campus. That’s their basic argument.
Then I remembered that Gun Free Zones are not magical, CCW holders are older and many are former military, that crime does happen on campus, and I realize that they are still wrong.
Here’s the thing, there are a bunch who are. But for everyone who is, there’s 15 who aren’t. The anti-rights folks want to punish the 15 because of the 1 who is too stupid to think and doesn’t really follow the law anyway.
Besides you can spot the people who are going to have trouble with liquor pretty damn fast. They’re the ones who’s parents shielded them from the real world and consequences.
First week on campus should have a mandatory “Remedial Gravity 101” class aka “Gravity will kick your ass – smarten the hell up!”
