1. Taxpayers wonder whether the amount spent on students makes a difference. Parents whose child goes to an expensive school says yes.
—Good, except that parents SAY yes.
2. There are different types of injuries that occur in each sport. Some people may question whether performing surgery before an injury occurs could make an athletes stronger.
—Good, except that surgery could make an ATHLETE stronger.
3. Imagine a person’s body being consumed by a drug. They would not care about any consequences, only about getting the drug.
—I don’t know about you, but the singular PERSON with the plural THEY still bothers me a lot. Could you maybe consider: A PERSON WHOSE body was being consumed by a drug would not care . . . .
4. More problems are being caused than solved with letting Syrians in.
—Brilliant
5. Does the idea of not actually having money on-hand sound trivial?
—Brilliant
6. That little green piece of paper holds no inherent value beyond the cost of its production, and yet many people spend their entire lives chasing after more of these slips of paper, only to deposit them in a bank.
—Brilliant
7. The next time we read a bank statement or look at a dollar bill, remember that there is no actual value attached to it, but instead a value someone decided to create. If this system was not created, society might still be trading goods with each other.
—Yeah, no. You can’t give yourself advice. You’re telling WE to remember.
8. I now understand that a dollar is only worth what we can receive in exchange for it.
—Brilliant
9. Being able to walk around with money without physically holding it recalls the concept of stone currency, which, like Bitcoins, is when we didn’t need to be in physical possession of Bitcoins to own them.
—Good try, but that time when we didn’t need to physically possess Bitcoins is NOW, not “when we didn’t need” it.
10. The American Dream causes people to want more and more of these pieces of paper in order to be financially stable. Soon enough, these people will realize that they will base their whole life collecting these papers called money.
—As an American, you can still go with WE for the American Dream, even if not all of us behave the same way.
11. Money is a powerful concept, and the pursuit of it lasts a lifetime. The goal from the moment we start school is to join the game of earning enough of these pieces of paper in order to make our life more fun and acceptable.
—Very nice. Just one quibble. I know we individually have one life each, but when we express ourselves in the plural, me “make our lives more fun.”
