Today, my parents decided they won't pay for college because of a Fox News story that said higher education "makes you liberal." FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out why my parents have been trying to convince me not to go to college this year. I also found out where the $20,000 they just spent on landscaping came from. My college fund. Which is now $0. FML
Today, my parents threatened to take away my college funds. Why? Because I complained about my 10 pm curfew during break as a freshman in college. FML
Today, after 25 years of marriage, my parents decided to get a very nasty and extremely expensive divorce. Using my college tuition to pay for it. FML
Today, I discovered that when my parents offered to help me pay for college, what they really meant is they would get the forms for me to apply for student loans. FML
Today, I was offered a job that pays far more than I expected, being a high school senior. My parents decided they aren't letting me take the job, saying I should enjoy my childhood. They're also not paying for my college, which is why I was looking for work in the first place. FML
Today, I was accepted to college and received a scholarship equal to almost half the tuition. After sharing this news with my parents, I spent the next 35 minutes getting yelled at about how I wasn't allowed to go there because my boyfriend might go there. FML
Today, I finally got the nerve to tell my parents that I'm no longer going to pay them a flat percent of my salary, but only what they need to cover my expenses. Their response: "Better find a place of your own then, you freeloading bastard." FML
Today, I found out that not only does my sister consider Fox News "reliable" but her husband has been buying Trump merchandise. They owe me $1,900 but they're literally giving a millionaire money instead of me. FML
Today, I told my conservative friends over dinner that I was a bit of a liberal. They then went off on me about how liberals are lazy, stupid, and a financial burden on society. I was the only employed person at the table with a college degree and not living with my parents. FML
Today, I discovered my parents have spent my college fund because "2012 will happen" before I graduate. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Going to college doesn't make you liberal, it makes you smarter and more prepared in the world. Your parents are really ignorant

Fox are idiots, they just implied that Liberal people are highly educated. They're right for once; their right wing nazi-fest is for retards.

After all knowledge is something frees your mind... I wonder why your parents send you to middle schools.

The amount of liberal ignorance in here is not surprising. First off OP, pay for your own college you freeloading piece of trash. Second off, all of you socialist twats can enjoy your CNN liberal rag while Fox continues to be the only news network worth a shit. I view CNN, MSNBC, BBC, and Fox and not a single one but Fox has anything intelligent to listen to. They all kiss Obama's ass and suck off the minorities. How about we make everyone EQUAL instead of continually trying to outlaw Christianity and demonize whites? Doesn't surprise me the liberal base in a site that is based "**** my life". Yes, **** your life for being so ignorant, no amount of knowledge will EVER make you a worthy human being. Don't waste your time in college, you'll just be another failure.

Dude, when you troll, you have to pace yourself. If you blow your load all at once like that, it leaves you with no new material for follow ups and everyone will see right through it. Start with claims of Fox News being unbiased and reliable, get a few replies, and THEN go into the "why ya all hate Jesus!?" bit, then just when it looks like it's going to blow over, THEN you go for the "white folk are disadvantaged in this country," stuff. Actually, you might switch the last two; I'm not sure which incites more rage on the internet these days. 0/10

Okay two things: 1. OP, FYL and your parents suck for not helping you based of a News Network. 2. All of you people who are insulting each other, please stop and listen, not just to yourself and people who share your beliefs but to people who are polar opposites. This goes for everything, religion, politics, dogs vs. cats etc. If you just get off your high horse and listen to all sides as unbiased as possible and then base your argument off THAT you will be a hell of a lot more educated, have a very good and solid reason for believing what you believe and it will be easier when you fight because you can look at it from all perspectives and therefore be able to provide better proof for your argument because you can disprove or overcome the opposition's proof. Seriously, it works and even if you're a high school drop out with no intelligence you can put up a good argument and prove your point better than a Harvard graduate who's completely biased. For those of you that have done this and do listen to all sides in an argument: good for you. You have accepted the fact that there is always a good point and an educated person from every angle and I really hope you get somewhere in life because you'll do a lot more good than a biased idiot who spends his time making up fake arguments.

#305 is the best guy on here. but #267 is a DUMBASS along with all these other liberals. Obama is taking the WORKING AMERICANS money and giving it to lowlife losers on welfare that don't deserve it. And when Bush was in office the congress was still liberal so he didn't have much of a say but he needs to grow some balls. Obama is a communist. The only reason he got elected is because he's black. Does that sound racist at all? Because it does to me.

#319 is gay just like Obama haha. Both of you are afraid of guns (that makes you fairies). You know when guns are outlawed, the crime rate goes up? Why don't you get your head out of your ass you queer. Obama isn't even born here, he shouldn't even be president right now. He's a liar.
