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?

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.

Has anyone considered before mocking Fox News that OP's parents are just morons that utterly misinterpreted a story on the news?

Okay, 1) Liberal, DOES NOT, equal Democratic; and Conservative DOES NOT, equal Republican. 2) Yes, Bush increased debt. So has Obama. EVERY PRESIDENT has increased in some way, so stop trying to use that to prove your point, because you look stupid. 3) The world DOES NOT hate America because of Bush. The majority of the world has hated America for a LONG time. When my grandfather stayed in Europe when he was in his 30's, everyone already hated Americans. 4) POLITICS is a matter of OPINION, and you people are ridiculous to argue over opinions. Calling each other "retarded" and using crap arguments ARE NOT going to change anyone's opinion. This is one of THE STUPIDEST ARGUMENTS I have EVER seen on the internet, and that's saying something. 5) You may not AGREE with the actions of Bush or Obama, butthese men were elected BY American citizens, to the office of President, and they deserve to be RESPECTED no matter what you're opinion of thier actions is. You can't say someone is stupid, or is a bad person, based on thier actions as President, because A- They aren't the only one making that decision, and B- You don't know them. You may see what they do politically, but you can't judge a person's CHARACTER on thier political actions and opinions. All of you are ridiculous, and the more you argue, the more incompetent you look.

And, really, EVERY news network is biased, EVERY person saying things, is biased. Even when they just use Fact, fact, fact; they are using said facts to prove thier point, therefore biasing the facts themselves. Stop arguing over whether or not Fox or any other news network is biased. THEY ALL ARE. Every single network, anchorperson, and report, is biased in one way or another, and you all look stupid trying to prove or disprove that with weak little "arguments" like "yeah theyre biased cuz its all conservatives." That, my not-so-friends, is a fail.
