1. The Hipforums announces it first ever fundraiser. After nearly 30 years online, we must ask our members and guests to help support the website. Thanks to years of ongoing financial support of our members, advertisers and volunteer admin staff, we have been able to keep the forums alive.

    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    So please donate any amount to our PayPal account donate@Hipforum.com to keep the site going. If we can get enough for a few months fees, we won't need to nag you again!

    You could also subscribe to the forums and get an upgrade to Supporter or Lifetime Supporter here

    You can dismiss this message by clicking on the X in the upper right corner.

    Thanks! The Hipforums Staff

    You also have to understand the price of going to school has skyrocketed (I was going to say fucking crazy) since we've been there - and today it's pretty much the price of entry to any decent job whether you learned anything or not. Unless daddy pays for one's education, kids simply cannot go to school without borrowing money - in fact, most cannot even borrow money for school without a co-signer or guarantor. No, you cannot 'work your way through' college anymore working weekend retail. There is no financial aid, so don't bother filling out the FAF unless you are at the poverty level.

    Of course there are a certain percentage of lunkheads that fit well with your point above with $500,000 in loans for a psychology or communications degree, but 95% are trying to do the right thing. With all the social and corporate welfare out there, helping kids with college is just a drop in the bucket and is a very good investment.

    Not everyone is trying to scam the government. The government is not paying people to do nothing, most goes where it needs to go. Is there widespread fraud? Of course. Are a certain portion of your investments not giving you the best return? Same concept.

    Another crude racist cartoon….the first step in recovery is admitting there is a problem. Long ways off if this is an example. A big dose of humanity, humility and honesty is in order.
