666 {just kidding, 6 or fail!}

RE:"The Number is 6." AzNWiLdMaN

*two thumbs up*

I agree with your post because each and every single college student has dropped a class and retaken it due to either one of the reasons stated above or other reasons. If the government really wanted to interfere with the amount of class drops/withdrawals then student's shouldn't even be given the option of dropping a course.

I don't see what the problem is for dropping 6+ classes throughout your undergraduate career. Honestly, the policy already states that they are going to charge a student higher for dropping and retaking the course x-amount of times. First off that's more money for the institution and secondly, at least the student is trying.

I think this also ties in with the issue of the government trying to move the "at risk" student's into a private institution. Instead of helping the better understand the material. That also incorporates with class options, like the remedial, intermediate, regular, advance course levels. There are other options rather than interfering with the college crediting system.

Pretty much the state's expecting all or nothing from college students.
Pfft, and they have the audacity of referring to us as "the faces of tomorrow."

JACKPOT $$$ (x10)

So they say everything's bigger in Texas....I wonder if it's true.
If that's the case, is everyone's pockets full of knots?
Pfft, I thought you knew!! TEXAS = HIGH ROLLERS!

SUPER SIKE (!!!) --- No, really though that's a big bluff.
Can you imagine if Governor Perry actually legalizes gambling?! Maybe it's because I'm not a native, but is it just me...or do Texans like to "go big or go home." The government has been throwing out a lot of unexpected wild card issues this past year. Evolution, gambling, border patrol, abortion or abstinence programs. Come on, there are bigger issues out there! That's like reviewing the past issues and trying to make those overrated topics legalized or "better under governmental control ." The main focus of local government should be job/economy related. But no sirree bob, Texas likes to keep picking at things that were a big fat flop back in previous years.

Imagine Vegas, now convert that with Texas. Are you picturing that image? Cause I certainly cannot. Although there are a lot of illegal slot machines in town, gambling has always been an easy addiction. Governor Perry thinks the state would be able to regulate it in some way if the proposed bill were to pass. --- It's already bad enough that gambling is an addictive sport/game; the usage of credit cards might be incorporated with it. Man oh man, Chase Bank is about to become like a big Walmart of debt for the gamblers of Texas.

Before voting for this bill, I hope the locals will consider the side effects of gambling. Just like any drug it may cause a pot of problems. Legalizing gambling will affect the taxpayers more than this mini depression we are going through as a nation because the rates of: crime, welfare, bankruptcies, and etc will sky rocket. Due to the fact that Texas's population is basically a full house -- a lot of families will be destroyed due to possible domestic violence, abandonment, suicidal issues.

If we legalize gambling because illegal slot machines already exists around town, then I propose we legalize weed/drugs in general because everyone and their moms are getting caught for having an ounce. Go figure, what are the odds? It's funny how a lot of citizens are getting laid off and receiving unemployment checks, but a lot of the money is still being blown on compulsive buys.

Before everything is said and done, it should be taken into consideration if this could benefit Texas as a whole, or would it add on to the list of problems? Otherwise it would change the statement: "Everything's bigger in Texas."We would have nothing to offer anymore, Texas would be dryer than a drought!
