Are you angry because you didn't go to college or because you dropped out?

Lots of people do. A college degree isn't necessary for every job. Seriously, how stupid are you?

And people laugh when I say we need to raise the voting age. You let college aged kids vote and what do you get? A fricking lazy river at the state's flagship university. You'd swear this was a slapstick comedy movie.

I have no dog in this fight, but for the record you're wrong. I was at LSU when they passed and started building this. The fee associated with construction was ONLY for construction and dropped off at completion. Now I'm sure the UREC fee went up because more services are offered and they go up every year anyway, but this specific assessment was only for the construction. And also, you called out people for speculating while you were doing the same exact thing. You couldn't provide a link that the fee stayed while calling people a dumbass for not providing a link that it dropped off AFTER they did exactly that.

Not likely based on t he lack of intelligence you've shown here.

My guess is administration. The type of fat that has made college expensive for students from cheap government money. Masters is arts is my bet for your top end.

By contrast, I'm beginning to think that you have zero college degrees. If you hold one from LSU, I would consider that an embarrassment.

Vote for it, pay for it with student loans, ask obama to wipe out student loans, profit.

The fees never go down. They only go up.

Wait, so things get more expensive as time goes on? Damn, is one of your degrees a Phd in Economics?

Bull shite. You have provided no link saying this. 

Can you provide a link proving what you are saying to be true? I'll sit here and wait.

The rate of increase outpaces inflation, genius. Don't hurt yourself trying to think too much.

No, but that doesn't mean they don't consistently go up. I figured most people knew that was true. Projects like the lazy river are one of the ways that universities justify constant fee increases. In other words, the WSJ is right.

Sorry I triggered your defensiveness of LSU. That doesn't make you right, though.

So you spend time on an LSU board and support the team, but think the University is a joke? GFY troll.

Geez...you are a fricking idiot. People come on here to counter your posts, and your best response is ‘I don’t believe you’ and I have three college degrees, blah blah blah.

F King and Alleva work in higher education...so maybe we could lump you in with those idiots.

I get that my viewpoint is unpopular. But that doesn't mean I'm wrong. In fact, I'm not wrong.
