Reconstruct and evaluate the following argument:
Studying philosophy at university is bad for your health. All these students go, and by the end of their degree they’re all smoking and drinking too much. You get all these ivory-tower academics saying that people should study this-and-that philosophy. Of course they say that! Who do you think pays for these eccentric layabouts with their bad clothes and daft ideas? There are plenty of other reasons not to go as well. Either you study philosophy at university or you get a proper career and give something back to the British economy. And who wouldn’t want to help our great country in this way? Traitors, that’s who!

A HAHAHAA, eccentric layabouts with daft ideas LOLOLOLOL. Don't forget the psychedelic "mind expanding drugs" - I still see some of those freaks rampaging as if it was still 1971 - although mostly in art galleries these days.
It is useful to have a good understanding of the "latest and greatest" in logic and life meanings - just remember - these daft layabouts are a perverted form of perpetual need. Generally speaking they give back to the economy, because they can't figure out manage their finances.

Heheh, at least you're honest and say that you "can't be bothered" to do it, unlike most of the people on here who just say, "I tried REALLY hard" or "I forgot my book, so can you summarize chapter 32 for me?"
