[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sensing a complete lack of humor among you lot.  You do realize much of what he was saying was tongue-in-cheek, right?  No, clearly you don’t.  He had a lot of sensible things to say among the kidding around.  Sad that this has to be explained to you, but your outrage is very so typical (and comical).[/quote]

Nothing funny about encouraging a bunch of dumb rubes to blow up their children’s lives. Unlike Tucker’s kids, there is no Plan B Daddy backup plan for an ill-advised gap year or an unplanned pregnancy. Just debt that can’t be paid on wages they are likely to earn.

Poor and LMC folks don’t get to afford “adventures” - that’s a privileged white brat phenomenon. And given the quality of the males watching Fox News, they don’t have the life skills or intelligence to independently assess what he’s saying. They’ll just do it to “own the libs” and find themselves completely p*ned in the process, which is the whole point. [/quote]

You're obviously not someone who grew up poor. I did, and I didnt attend college immediately after high school. I did seek adventure, actually, and although I eventually completed a masters plus some postgraduate work, the adventure was more educational and gave me a better sense of self awareness and confidence. In fact, I'd argue that being poor actually expands the world of adventure, because there are more socially acceptable options. A UMC kid can't fish in Alaska, join a carnival, join the military, etc. UMC and middle class kids feel the weight of expectation in a way that poor and working class never will, and that is freeing. See, your idea of adventure even lacks imagination-- an unplanned pregnancy as a post high school adventure? Lol. [/quote]
