@St_Rev sure. and that being the case, the appropriate response would be to tell them to go piss up a rope. -
@schakalsynthetc In this case I think the nub is "triggers don't work that way, and we will not tolerate you acting like whiny children" -
@St_Rev also, personally, v. v. tired of getting smeared by association with the whiny brats just for having what they wish to appropriate -
@St_Rev it's also related to education-as-consumer-good -
@St_Rev I had to rely on financiad aid, so I thought of my schooling as an investment the taxpayers had made and were expecting a return on -
@St_Rev that logic doesn't quite work when the parents are footing the whole bill. the mindsets really are different, ime. -
@St_Rev older norms that children were expected to go into the family business blunted the difference somewhat

@schakalsynthetc Weird collective behaviors that used to break out occasionally in isolated villages now go global. -
@St_Rev ergotism strikes in the global village
