    What the fuck is it with you guys? First he's a slacker for presumably
taking advantage of government subsidies, and when he demonstrates the
contrary he's a spoiled brat because he doesn't pay for everything himself?

    Tell me, Olynyk, how much did YOU yourself pay for your education
(assuming you got one)? I don't want to know how much you BORROWED, I want
to know how much money came from your own pocket? And even had you sold
empty cans to pay for every cent, you're still a hell of a lot more
privileged, as a resident, than any foreign student who has to pay two or
three times what you would have. You've got the same silver spoon, except
yours has a government flag on it. And when you open your mouth, it's the
sound of complacency that comes out.

    Contrary to the bullshit people spew about self-reliance, if it wasn't
for parents and/or GOVERNMENT loans, not to mention low tuition for
residents, not many people would have the benefit of a university
education. Not that we'd notice any difference in the average intelligence
of the population, or usenet, for that matter. In fact, to balance the
budget allocated to education, I propose that provincial governments test
students at graduation to determine whether they are as stupid as when they
went in, in which case they may immediately recoup the waste in student
loans by employing said students for medical experiments and picking up
trash in the streets.

    Now go put your university education to good use by watching "Home
improvement".
