We need to redistribute GPA, since it is only fair to share the wealth. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/08/1...alth-distribution-are-asked-to-support-grade/ Lol yeah right.
but for the fact that it's not, you have a point. money is collected for the betterment of society, GPA's aren't. Me getting a 4.0 doesn't do much of anything (yes, I know it can lead to a better job opportunity), whereas me paying taxes, or having the money collected from my taxes distributed for the betterment of the society does. It's a really lame argument to make actually (not you personally), because "sharing" GPA doesn't provide you with more services that are on par with what sharing wealth could do.
Yeah I'm not trying to single anyone out this is just an ideological discussion. Money is collected for the detriment of society, mostly because unintended consequences are never considered. Socialism thinks two objects have the same value at all times but in specific circumstances platinum is worthless and food is invaluable. Socialism is not able to adjust for real world situations and it is proven entrepreneurs do much more with 50000 than you or the government ever will. And they help the poor much better by keeping their wealth. For example I would never want to live in New York, even if their weather magically became ideal for me. Their taxes are abhorring. Sure it does, number one it is called graduate school you can't get into it. Second people can not graduate from college without a certain GPA, and college graduates earn a million dollars more during their lifetimes. Also Scholarships are based on GPA and grants. Yeah big details you just missed. Well you don't understand the purpose of going to college then, which is to graduate. Or move up the ladder and eventually become a professor, or what not.
People are all for others giving them money and government bling, but very few are willing to give to others. That should come as no surprise.
money collected benefits the whole (and in some cases, and bfwa said, is detrimental). My taxes help others. my GPA helps me. My GPA going to Tim Johnson because he's a dullard doesn't help me. my taxes going to pay for police, streets, government, does.
I would give up some of my GPA if it meant another undergraduate would graduate instead of fail. Maybe it's not fair, maybe the student dogged it the whole time, maybe I worked much harder while they played . . . or maybe the student was a single mother working two jobs and going to school, maybe they were ill and unable to study and do treatment, maybe they have a learning disability and they actually worked twice as hard as me. I don't know what the situation is but if giving a person a little GPA of mine has a chance of really helping one of my fellow students in life . . . well I see it as a way of giving back to the school that has helped me in life.
No it doesn't since there is no such thing as revenue. There is no net gain, in fact you're funneling the money into less efficient channels. They help deter companies, and decrease the efficiency of the economy. This is simply a fact, you need to stop adding your personal moral beliefs. Your GPA helps me get thousands of dollars actually, you don't know what argument you're making. Your money goes into public sector versions of profitable companies. For example the airline industry used to be public sector, now it isn't and is much better. Stop dude.
That's fine if you want to believe that, just don't force your GPA sharing on other people. Not everyone feels the need to help bad students who are more likely to fail in the future than you.
I should know by now not to ask, but what the hell are you talking about? The airline bailouts after 9/11? You think we should have given Bin Laden a much bigger victory by allowing the airline industry to collapse? That's... interesting, if that's what you are saying. barfo
Sorry I can't understand you, but you don't make much sense a lot of the time. 1978 was airline deregulation. What does that have to do with bailouts? barfo
What other act is there where that particular market was freed? Lol. We exposed the market to its natural forces and ended stupid subsidies and funding for badly run companies.
Well, for one, when an airline(s) struggles, or mergers take place or the like, there's no direct financial consequence/burden on the taxpayer. I'm all for a free marketplace. Conversely, let's keep a close eye on the USPS to see how they end up making out. Will they end up becoming privatized?
