    Libertarian? Do even have a clue about what Libertarian means? Without the Federal Government and true Libertarianism means no intrusive governing at all, markets fail and Wall Street shuts down overnight. Unless it's a public-private partnership based on generous patronage and a strong central government, Capitalism isn't possible. For free marketers, Federal means Federal Reserve without which Capitalists will eat their own.

    I just read another post where FMB hates on women. Evidence is pilling up.

    The smart ones would save a chunk of that every month and be able to buy a car with the savings by their second year in the program.

    "Smart" has nothing to do with it.

    There's pussy and fun and partying and pussy everywhere for college kids/young adults

    Nobody calls some entitled 19-year-old dumb because he burns through his "allowance" every month to fuck around in college.

    And nobody's gonna ask him to apologize for it when he's done with school and enters the "real world"

    The amount of money some people are calling for is way over the top. I understand kicking some extra spending money their way, but $2k per month, as I've seen calls for, is just being stupid. They have all their critical expenses paid. They need some extra money for drinking and other entertainment, not a full time cocaine habit hookers.

    Give them $500...maybe $1000 extra tops. That's way more than a student needs to pay for keg cups and bang a few sorority chicks. The smart ones would save a chunk of that every month and be able to buy a car with the savings by their second year in the program.

    Someone on DM (I'm not paying for it!) suggested putting it on their Husky Card so they can't spend it frivolously. I think that's a good idea.

    The biggest obatacle will probably be the p.c./lesbian types who insist the carpet munchers who make 16 errors per game get equal treatment, even though they generate zero revenue
    Look, everyone on this message board has nothing but respect for the carpet munchers, bush bumpers, dykes or a even a butch that could be mistaken for Griswold after a three-day bender. Same goes for the homos, fags, fruitcakes and ever-confusing cross-dressers with their lisps and funny way of walking.

    Cannot be more clear about that respect.

    But nobody playing a non-revenue sport deserves to be compensated.

    If some booster wants to kick them money on the side, that's great.

    But no way should the athletes who generate revenue in football and men's basketball (and perhaps a few other sports at certain schools) share in the proceeds with those who are having their hobby funded either by Title IX or because the NCAA's antiquated minimum sports requirements
