    Is the right to kill another an absolute right?

    The right to use firearms?

    The right to take the entirety of something from a co-owner if, by splitting the property, one would destroy its value?

    I guess I could have just stopped at the "according to me" part. That rendered your line of thinking indefensible.

    Hey MARIS, if I ever make it to Prineville, do I have the right to camp out on your front lawn with hundreds of others?

    There's an absolute right for dogs to eat people.

    MARIS' dogs would never use steroids, though.

    I don't live anywhere near Prineville, but you have the right to try.

    Only if you assume the worst of people.

    If everyone simply lived by The Golden Rule there'd be no need for Congress, laws, police, armies, or high taxes.

    sad that with 16 years of schooling she's still in need of spellcheck for words utilizing the "I before E, except after C" rule.

    Additionally, why the hell do you go 40k in debt for a degree in a field in which there are no jobs?

    She's probably not clairvoyant.

    You didn't read it very carefully. She said she's 40K in debt, and a college senior. She didn't say anything about borrowing to pay for college.

    Those prostitution lessons cost $40,000. Look at her. She must have paid a lot to be able to threaten the world with selling her scrawny body.

    Well, technically, she didn't say she went 40K in debt while getting her degree. She might have been $140k in debt when she started college.

    My guess is that she owes her drug dealer $40k, and he's giving her a choice of how she wants to work off the debt.

    Drug dealers are the nicest people, once you get to know them.
