| Message | There is nothing wrong with nationalism. The Republic of Aldegar is for Aldegar citizens. People should feel proud of their nationality, culture and traditions. Yeah rich college students just concentrate on studies... You been to college? There are multiple options available for students to finance their education. Student loans are a good way to do it. Why should college students be subsidized? As future high earners college subsidies are one of the most unfair subsidies. It forces the people who do not go to college and begin working to pay for the education of future high earners. |
