way, there's now free college courses on line. I also take courses at edX.org from major universities. The concept of college is changing rapidly. Goodbye, institutions of higher propaganda. ;

REALITY---what a concept - sm

Free college---free freshman year classes. Already have a degree---SOL.

Freshman year, just enough to get a taste and then get accepted anywhere and transfer that free credit for a degree of any kind...doubtful.

PS---if you had simply left off the bash the Conservatives taut about propaganda---I would have left this as education for education's sake...y'all figure it out that it isn't worth much, but you had to put your two cents in about education being propaganda...and that is just sick, tunnel vision, Conservative thinking---so I gave you higher institution, college degree, liberal-thinking reality.

Now, I'm all for education for education's sake, but don't try to sell this as a substitute for a HIGHER INSTITUTION. That is laughable.

But, you all are still murking around in transcription, trying to find your way out...bite the bullet and find a real program and get some job training or go to an institution of higher learning and learn how to learn.

Wow, someone was just trying to be helpful - and share an alternative to get feet wet,

Education - 2 Years Free Junior CollegeMar 04, 2015
Valentine show:  Heard discussion yesterday that 2 years free college would destroy the established colleges, as everyone would go to the first 2 years for free and there would be no freshmen or sophomores.  Also that these people would not be prepared and many would fail and it would be a waste of money.

Online BullyingApr 09, 2010
Do you think people use the anonymity of hiding behind the computer screen as an excuse to get away with bullying others?

I know there have been cases on FB and other such sites where teens have been bullied to the point of suicide which is horrible.

Do You Consider Sexting/online Relationships With Other Women Cheating?Jul 25, 2013
I do.  I caught my husband in a texting relationship/Facebook messages with several different women.

I suppose one could consider me an idiot for standing by him. However, I do not believe he ever had sexual intercourse or other actions with the women. I have been with him 12 years and I just have a feeling.  I know many blame it on the wife, but ...
