A whole new generation of privileged F%$#s

A friend on Facebook just posted a link to this site listing shit rich college kids say. I don't know where the quotes come from--I'm hoping it's some kind of parody and fearing it may not be.

Examples:

"I don’t want freedom of speech. I want the ability to say what I want, and I want the privilege to never be questioned."
Senior Finance Major

"Why do people get sad when they lose their pets? Can’t they just buy new ones?"
Sophomore Cinema Studies Major

"Sickness is caused by poor kids, I wish I could just kill them all."
Sophomore Biology Major

By someone, somewhere. Are they accurately attributed on this blog to "rich" students in particular "majors"?

I doubt it. It would be just as easy to put up quotes that "liberals" say, or "tea partiers", or whatever. This site is nothing more than a gratuitous outrage generator.

I responded by saying 'but you're not rich' then she said 'but I'm not poor either'. Then I asked her what is wrong with having poor friends? She said you may have to treat them to something. I was like wow what a privileged brat she is. All this in front of her mother who remained silent on the issue. She created that monster.
