Today, my parents decided they won't pay for college because of a Fox News story that said higher education "makes you liberal." FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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.

I take offense to people who say liberals are dumb. I am very liberal, and happen to be quite intelligent, I also work hard for what I have, and try to respect those around me, including conservatives that I totally disagree with. Being liberal does not make me dumb any more than you being conservative makes you dumb, it simply means we have a difference of opinion. OP, I would suggest informing your parents that all but one of our presidents were college educated. Bush, has been the only president to gain an M.B.A. Higher education does not make you liberal, anymore than it makes you conservative. It makes you smart, and shows ambition.

Because it means liberals are "elitist", even though a large portion of Fox news correspondents themselves attended Ivy League schools...

You know what they say... If your young and conservative you have no heart. If your old and liberal you have no brain.

Actually, the story is that the average liberal has a higher education, not that having a higher education makes you liberal. I think you're safe.

New York City is a "gun totting Hicksville?" I'm afraid not. Most people here are liberal, anyway. Our health care is the BEST in the world. There's a reason why people are literally rushed down to the US from Canada to get health care in serious situations. We don't have to wait for months to get care, we have an abundance of doctors... you shouldn't be complaining. The government says we should act like Cuba when we handle health care. Have you ever been to a Cuban hospital? I've seen Cuban hospitals on the Internet. They're shitholes where people are suffering and dying and there are VERY few doctors. Just because one seventh of our population doesn't have health care doesn't mean our health care is the worst in the world. You need to think before you post.

1. OP, **** your life for having drones for parents who can't think for themselves (like most people who watch Fox News). Better start saving 10 years ago. 2. LOL at all the people on here trying to say that Fox is "fair and balanced," are you ******** me?! If you really believe that, then they've successfully brainwashed the hell out of you. Yes, they have Democrats on, for the purpose of antagonizing them (and I know MSNBC & friends do the opposite, before you start blasting me as another "stupid liberal"). If you believe that makes them a balanced network, they've done their jobs well. It's entertainment, and they're very good at what they do, but it's a piss poor excuse for true journalism.

my head is starting to hurt from reading all of this. both bush and obamma were elected because they got the most votes. each party needs to accept that and move on. OP, your life sucks.

So you think the Obama administration had nothing to do with the insane rise in unemployment over the last year, #349? That's just sad. Anyway, it's good to see someone's not just using personal attacks. Seriously, can all you fucktards make any points? "obama sux" "u suk" "**** all who hate obama" Again, can you just make a point about your political policies instead? It makes you seem stupid, uneducated, and very concerned about letting your beliefs be exposed.
