25 years old and deep in debt

The North once again carries the South.  Go fig.

getting more loans thus deferring payments? (ie still in school)

You got to pay for Lettow's paper of steaming Stonewall Jackson apologism. How you feeling about that?

[Admiral Yi]

Midwestern honesty.

Why is that when you map any fucked up thing you can think of, Louisiana and Mississippi always take the top spots?  You would think that if they did less worse at anything, it would be doing less worse at negative things associated with getting an education.

[MadImmortalMan]

The thing about places like Mississippi and Louisiana is that once people start getting successful, they leave. Their condition is self-perpetuating.

With the Rapture being immnent and all, it seems wasteful to spend money on education. Who needs algebra when you are with Jesus?

Reminds me of a bizzare conversation I witnessed this weekend.

I went up to the far northern cabin to help my dad out launching the boat. The guy from whom we used to rent the boat storage place from is an elderly American ex-pat whom my dad has known for decades. He was always a bit strange, but he's since gone even stranger.

This was proved when my dad visited him to say hello (with me in tow). Somehow, this guy steered the conversation to a job he used to have lifting rocks for "a senator" back home in Louisiana. He mentioned that the senator's wife was "crazy" because she used to pay his brother to cover himself in grease and dive naked into her pool. 

The mention of rocks and crazy women led him to a discussion of his girlfriend. He had recent occasion to "ream her out" because she insisted on making him visit her tombstone. He told her, "woman, you ain't dead yet. And further, you ain't gonna need that tombstone anyhow. The Rapture gonna come any day now- Bible says so".

He had me going there for a while, until that last bit.

It's because the for-profit schools prey on ignorant poor blacks... so I'm not surprised MS, LA, and AR are so badly off.

Riiiiiight, Cletus.

[Caliga]

  They do.

[CountDeMoney]

I sincerely doubt the majority of the weight of the college debt imbalance falls upon "ignorant poor blacks".

[Eddie Teach]

For-profit schools prey on ignorant poor people of all races. And those three states mentioned happen to have plenty.
