Re: the OP, we should probably stop pretending that college students are "kids" rather than the adults they actually are.

18 year olds are legally adults, sure. The vast majority of 18-26 year olds I've ever met are still children.

Only because society enables them to be such

minivans were mentioned ITT. minivans are amazing. How did we ever not have one. If you have 0 spouses or kids you should still one. they kick ass

Not to get all "back in my day" on here, but I've definitely seen a huge difference in college students since the 10 years I've been out. Like, they're way more whiny and soft and self entitled. Kinda scary.

amazing

You disagree, KK?

I'm pretty sure their brains are still developing quite a bit, too.

NYT had an article about that this week but i got paywalled :millennial:

Hmm... I'm wondering if new research has been published. Last I remember reading, it's somewhere around the mid-20's the brain finally finishes developing. iirc, the ability to properly assess risk is part of those final changes.

All the more reason to be pushing tens of thousands of dollars of student loan debt on these kids to purchase worthless "_____ Studies" degrees in order to bankroll liberal professors and indoctrinate liberal thought, amirite?

Brought to you by the same liberals who decried TrumpU as a scam.

[bubbles4ksu]

holy straw man.

[Rage Against the McKee]

I would hope most conservatives would also realize that Trump U was a scam, too.

[K-S-U-Wildcats!]

I would hope most conservatives would also realize that Trump U was a scam, too.

I imagine all real estate investing seminars, TrumpU included, are at least somewhat scam-y, but I will also wager that TrumpU attendees gleaned more practical knowledge than the recipient of a Black Transgender Studies degree, and probably paid less for it, too.

I disagree.

I would drink a beer with Panj and talk Star Wars. That seems like a pretty cool thing that could happen in 2017. It probably won't ever happen because of where we live and our irl social circles, but I probably wouldn't even be aware that particular guy exists out there in this world if this was 20 years ago. I think that's pretty cool.

We need to figure out a way to do this, pmshead.  I would enjoy it very much.

Like, I don't know pmshead or panj from adam irl, but eff if these dweebs aren't poster children for the WSJ series of losery millenials. Socially Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) weirdos pissed off at anyone who isn't a pissed off little weirdo.

Like I always said, if you're ugly and can't play sports just star wars.

This is very, very funny.

Yes, It is literally the exact opposite of you IRL.

[bubbles4ksu]

#FSDafterdark makes me concerned about my own drinking.  i really don't want to end up like that piece of crap.

he's right about pmshead tho.
