Student loan documentary

[MRHTOAD76]

I'm sick of people that are sick or victims , or blaming the victim. First his dad was going to co-sign not pay for. Second Bill Gates, etc are respected for going there own way. If it works your good if it doesn't your a dummy how does that work? Yes I agree he should have had more sense ,but when you stop and check your ego and actually look at the situation like in most cases you realize that it is about more than just that. People are complaining that they are tired of stupid people yet we are all stupid people!

I'm not meaning to zone in on any 1 post or anyone 1 person ,but come on people!! We are taught over and over to consume, buy, use and then when we do we are morons. You are told to go to school and buy a house and that you will be then living the American dream. When it doesn't work for you its your own fault for being stupid. Do a google search on "I bought a house I could afford" or similiar and you will see these same people saying how morons shouldn't have bought a house they couldn't afford etc etc this is stupid. It must be nice to sit back and realize that you are smarter than everyone else and still be ignoring the big picture. Since they didn't lose their home its easy to sit back and say well its their own fault for buying out of their league or buying a house they couldnt afford if they got laid off. Or well maybe they shouldn't have refinanced so many times...

Why did they buy the house, why are people having babies, doing drugs, having student debt. The reasoning behind why they did it / are in the situation they are in is SOOOO much more important than the end result. We need to stop treating the symptoms and fix the problems! This is a cyclical-drain downward spiral! (Circling the Drain)

It is so easy to sit back and say haha look at that dumb person or Caveat emptor ,but is that really the world we want to live in? Don't come crying to us because you got taken advantage of by that company. Where does it stop then? Don't come crying to us that you were in that dark alley? that you were in that part of town (must have been trying to get drugs), that you live in that state, are we becoming that sick and morbid (reality shows) that we really enjoy and like to see people suffering?

So because he didn't follow his fathers dreams for him he is a moron who deserves whatever he gets in life? Everyday we are bombarded with consume, spend,buy ,and be your own person ,but then when someone goes and does just that but does not succeed they are dumb. What about all the people who went to law school or pursued becoming a doctor who are working at Walmart what about them? If the majority don't make it, then it isn't as simple as well he didn't get the best grades or he was just dumb. The issue is not that cut and dry... cmon!

The game is go to school so you can succeed, have kids and buy a house. If someone gives you an opportunity to do what you have been told is success your entire life who is going to pass that up? The side-effect of this game is being saddled with so much debt you will be never break free. Kind of like our goals in medicine. We don't care about a cure or treatment just make them live longer where they have to keep buying our drugs. Matter of fact lets start drugging them at a younger age so we can make even more money.


(no I don't know this guy and sorry for the long rant I'm just sick of hearing all this one-sided victim bashing. None of us are perfect and none of us are as smart as we think we are so we ALL need to go back to trying to actually put ourselves in others shoes before judging.)
