This is far far from true. I am a lawyer, please look up the statistics for unemployment in law, particularly young lawyers, and the number of people that are finding that the job that they can find doesn't pay their loan debt. There is even outsourcing (on large document review projects). Most people who went into law are finding that the law school lied to them about their future career prospects. A very large percentage of people who went to law school end up regretting it. The career you want to be in is anything health related with the boomers aging. There are people with AA degrees that make more than I do.

In real life sometimes that ends in a restraining order, and sometimes it ends in a relationship. The culture you're decrying exists outside of the movies as well - that you see it in movies just illustrates how illogical and arbitrary people (both men and women) are. I mean, for one, I never see any men intentionally going to a movie that involves romance whatsoever, so it must be women creating this culture. Doesn't the description you give describe the plot of Twilight? I ridicule everyone for their poor choices, it's the only way they'll learn.

Don't donate stolen funds directly to the charity, use the credit cards to buy from someone you also despise (Walmart?) and have the product shipped to the charity? I'm not sure if this would work, but I think if Anon put a little thought into the matter they might find ways that eliminate at least some of the problems posted in here. I mean, none of this is ever going to happen, but if it did, it could be done better.

1) - news for nerds: economics and psychohistorians. 2) - fight your battles where they have impact. There are always protests on campus and they are always ignored. This one hasn't been. 3) An investment of tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars for a field that may or may not be a sound investment for the rest of your life. Education expenses are always a gamble. You're asking high school graduates to be cunning gamblers. If technology advances made your job meaningless your opinion would change. 4) I agree in part, but OWS wants to make their difference in a more left-leaning way, and they seem to be somewhat effective for a bunch of kids that have never had a real job. The appeal of their message just shows how widespread disatisfaction is with the current system. 5) It's not progress since "50 years ago" - college has become semi-mandated by the work place and now the average person cannot afford to go to an institute of higher learning, but simultaneously can't find a job without going (and more often now, even when they do go.).

Talk about cafeteria Christianity - your citations states specifically that those are the first and greatest commandments and that all others rest on them, BUT not that they are the only ones:

"Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill. For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass away from the Law, until all is accomplished. Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and so teaches others, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. I say to you, that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven."
