4. yes, indeed
it is the responsibility of parents to make sure that their children have every oppotunity to get shitfaced and make embarrassing fools out of themselves. it's the american way!

6. My parents paid for nothing
And I've got the school loans bill to prove it! I understand why they didn't and I'm cool with that.

If I had kids and I was able I would pay for their college, but they would have to have a part time job to cover their extras.

Seeing as how I'm a truck driver, though, I will never be able to pay for my kids college if I have any without going into a lot of debt just before retirement. They would have to be on their own in that regard.
