Why do people want us to spend more on education? If you consider the facts, the real reason why schools in lower income areas do so poorly is because the kids are lazy, stupid, and mischievous. If you look at black urban culture, it's all about speaking poorly and causing trouble. Then consider the white kids who blindly follow the black guys because MTV told them too, and what you have a recipe for failure. Besides which, if you spend more money on books and technology, what will that accomplish if there is no work ethic? Hell, those books would probably be used as projectiles to be thrown through the monitors of the brand new computers. American pop culture simply commands the minds of children nowadays, and it is completely based on stupidity, conformity, and complacency. The exception is when a pop culture person feels the need to appear intellectual, then he will rattle off a sentance using lots of six-syllable words that he picked up from watching MTV's real world. This is reflected in schools, where kids strive to be as stupid, lazy and mischievous as possible. If you want to make good use of money, how about cutting high school down to two years, and sending all those brats to two years mandatory military school? There, they will learn about discipline, respect, and how to take care of themselves. And if they want to bust balls or be lazy, it's pushups for them.

Or have you never had one?

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by cloricus [/i] [B]Hmm, have you thought that France has morals? And they are not prepared to drop them to brown nose bush? I really disagree with the people saying that France and Germany are soft, ARE YOU GOING TO THE WAR? [i][b]NO.[/i][/b][/quote] When I turn legal age (2 months) I will. [quote][b]Your going to sit at home and watch those people die on TV. Maybe France and Germany has realised the same as the Australian public (On the most part) has, that "This is not our war." ([I]James before you start discrediting that last comment, state why it is our war. Don?t bag other countries because they don?t want to send their men to their deaths. And as far as I know France is not against it. They want all options dismissed before they commit. (Eg more weapons inspectors.) [/B][/QUOTE] That would be a valid comment if it was true. France has said it's willing to protect Iraq with military force.

I'm a white male, everything is perfectly legit against me.

They support us in our war against Iraq. We're OK now. It's significant to note the list of countries whose leaders have come out in support of President Bush in this past two weeks. The leaders of the Vilnius Group (Albania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia) have joined the leaders of the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland in supporting President Bush's effort. These nations have a few things in common: all survived decades of totalitarian dictatorship. All know the difference between real dictators and the specious, whiny, self-serving defintion the American Left keeps serving up. And all of them know why they're free of their communist regimes today: because the US and the West met terror (in their case, the terror of totalitarian dictatorship) with strength and resolve. They know the truth when they see it. They join: Italy, Denmark, Spain and Portugal - NATO members with governments that are capable of rationality on this issue. Italy and Spain also have ample experience with terrorism. All four have governments that are far enough to the right to be honest about the issue. The UK and Australia - our staunchest allies, and nations who know the consequences of terror all too well. Turkey, Oman, Jordan, and Kuwait - Muslim nations with strong western ties. (They're soft-pedalling their support - but all three will be on board to some significant degree). Indeed, the question remains: what nations DON'T support us? France - a morally decrepit nation whose economic ties with Iraq render its opinion moot, and Germany, led by a socialist whose support is ebbing fast, in significant part due to the SDP's stance on Iraq.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by DuoMax [/i] [B] But really, that sounds like a lot better way of taking down criminals. Why dont they use fast acting tranqulizers, though? [/B][/QUOTE] Because there's no guarantee that would work 100% of the time. Now a bullet to the chest, that's pretty damn effective. Even if they're wearing bullet proof vests.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Lalaith Ril [/i] [B]See I'm the opposite. When I'm afraid or backed into a corner I fight back. I hate being backed into corners so I fight back.[/B][/QUOTE] Same with others, but what would you fight against in this case?

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Lalaith Ril [/i] [B]Ok well this has been bugging me for a while so I'm going to ask your opinions on it. Ok well. My dad can watch EVERYTHING I do on the interenet. And I mean I don't have a problem with it to a certain extent. I mean if he goes to the sites to see if its porn or something I understand, but if its obvious that it deals with MY personal life do you think its right for him to READ whats in there? I mean an example would be my private messages. He reads my private messages. It annoys the heck out of me. Its my personal life, heck the name even says its PRIVATE so what gives him the right to dig through my life like that? Thats just an example. I know I'm a teenager and I probably will judge my parents harder than anyone else, so I wanted your opinions on this. Is it right for him to dig through my personal life as long as its on the internet? [/B][/QUOTE] You're a kid using a computer he payed for or atleast the internet that he is paying for. He has every right to do that. Quite frankly I think your dad has either a lot of time to waste or is a little over protective, either one.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by gokents [/i] [B]Well, actually L.A. Rod, I believe that your thinking of the law that makes it illegal to sue someone if they try to help you when you are the victim of a crime... like doing cpr and then the victim not living, the family cant sue that "good samaritan." I also want to mention that I dont really think too highly of those of you that would take the same course of action as these cowards. I dont ask that you get down, and perform some sort of medical procedure to save this mans life... I merely ask that people would atleast call the police after seeing it. I mean, there were people at the gas station, not just one guy, so atleast one of them could have called the police. According to the news and the police, no one called the cops for a half hour. A half hour, hell, you could run for your life until you were completly out of breath and it still wouldnt take you a half hour before you felt safe. If your in shape you can run maybe more than 4 miles in half hour. I think that would put you out of harms way by a long shot. And for tn, Foxnews got their hands on the footage from the gas station... I couldnt tell you how. [/B][/QUOTE] Where did you see the video? I don't see it on foxnews.com, so is it possible the guy didn't know? The way you described it was that he stayed after a while to finish up filling the tank, now if someone I saw was shot, I would not wait to fill it up.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by DuoMax [/i] [B]Harry, theres no need to be a rude person. Try being civil for once, okay? [/B][/QUOTE] What the hell are you talking about? I wasn't being rude. [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by liamc2 [/i] [B] Some company in Texas (why is it always in Texas?) has a hummer mounted stun weapon that can knock someone out two kilometres away by focusing Ultraviolet waves and sending an electric charge down it. Sounds much more economically viable to me.. [/B][/QUOTE] What so the police can use magic waves to stun a criminal hoping it works while he's pointing an AK47 at you?

Yeah when I see someone get shot through the head from an unkown direction the first thing I would do is try to save him.:rolleyes:

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by DuoMax [/i] [B]But do you [b]NEED[/b] to go out and shoot people for sport, or do you need to do that with animals for that matter? [/B][/QUOTE] Do you need to chat on a message board? If you only do things you have to do life is boring.

I don't see a problem here. You got dumped, get over it. You have bad eye sight, what's so horrible about that? You screwed up on chores, do better next time. You and a friend have a fight, that's normal too. There is no storm, just you blowing things way out of proportion for pretty much no reason.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by LostProphet [/i] [B] Now....which big game animal are you going to go hunting after with a handgun?? [/B][/QUOTE] The most dangerous animal, Man.

Doesn't look like cooler. Stop trying.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Elite [/i] [B][b][color=003399]I really don't want to have to close [i]another[/i] thread [/b][/color] [/B][/QUOTE] Then don't be such a nazi.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by cloricus [/i] [B] Personally I think NK is more of a threat. They are trying to escalate the situation and America is ignoring them and their getting annoyed. They want a war, that's the thing...[/B][/QUOTE] They only say/do crap when the attention isn't on them. They're just trying to piss off the US.

Why are people afraid of N. Korea? Grow a back bone.

Whatever floats your boat, but personally i'd meet with someone first.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by ChibiV [/i] [B]I'm 19 right now, most of the guys I know are older than me. They told me they can accepted me as a little sister, but not as a best friend. Odd though. [/B][/QUOTE] They want to hit and run. As for the topic, I have several friends that are girls and one of them is a best friend. [quote]Wait wait wait. Your 19 and they said this? wtf?????? I figured guys older than me might be more mature, but I might be wrong.[/quote] AHAHAHAHAHAHA yeah right.

I don't really have any hatred for any of them., I just prefer some more (lesbians).

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Lalaith Ril [/i] [B]Just because its already happening doesn't mean its right. People are murdered, so are we gonna keep doing it, just because people already do it? Thats a stupid reason to do anything.[/b][/quote] Did I ever said it was right? Of course not. [quote]Well, for one thing. There are very few jobs in this world that allow you to work with absolutely no education, even with a minimum wage.[/quote] There's actually a lot. Meat packing like I said before. [quote]And, it's actually very tough even for a middle-class (average) person to find a job. There's alot of things involved in getting a job, and it's not exactly as simple as walking up to a store and asking for a job. [/quote] We're not talking about middle-class people. [quote]People don't just give away jobs. You have to fill out resumes, and have to show them a working degree in order to work. There's alot of unemployed/homeless people in the world, and it's actually pretty impossible getting each of them a job. [/quote] Once again you're talking to something that doesn't apply to labor intensive jobs. [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Endymion [/i] [B]Harry, some of what you're saying is very vague. It's causing most of the arguments in this thread. Exactly what kind of simple, mindless jobs are we talking about, here? Most importantly, where exactly is the money for this program going to come from? Lady Macaiodh said that Richmond barely has enough money to keep its DMV open, so where would a town like this get the money to aid the homeless on a more regular basis? [/B][/QUOTE] The program will be payed by half of the welfare budget.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Lalaith Ril [/i] [B]Oh ok. So you're proposing that we take advantage of these people, just because their country may not be as rich as us. Of course thats how it is, I mean you save money right? I mean everythings ok as long as you save money. Even if we basically descriminate them for a few extra bucks in our pockets.:rolleyes: [/b][/quote] What do you mean, that's already happening. Ever hear of migrant workers or the people that work at the meat factories? [quote]I don't know about the world? You're the one who is stereotyping. Just because they are improvished doesn't mean they don't know anything. You can be educated without going to school. Half of the things we learn that we really need are from home. We can learn to read, write, add, subtract, even care for people at our homes.[/quote] How do you learn how to read write when your parents don't know how to either? Face it, if you're poor you're most likely not educated either. [quote][b]What makes you the all knowing? What makes you the one who knows everything about the world?! Well?! [/B][/QUOTE] I went to school with these kids. I live Houston and we get out fair share of border crossers. The kids come with their parents and they know very little english and don't know how to read or write in spanish that well either. They will either stay here for the rest of their life going to schools and learn decent english, but that's only if they stay here. Others will go off somewhere else looking for work.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Lalaith Ril [/i] [B]There is also no way that none of them are educated. Its a gross and stupid stereotype to say that they all arn't educated. Thats a shovanistic and pig headed point of view....[/b][/quote] AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH you don't know **** about the real world do you? The simple fact is the ones that cross the border like that are usually the impoverished ones that don't go to school. It's not a stereotype. [quote][b]Drone work? Do you expect people to do this pointless work for low wages? You can't make these people work. Ecspecially for crappy wages! They deserve the same money as everyone else! [/B][/QUOTE] Once again you obviously don't know how this works. And crappy wages to us is great wages to them since there's hardly any work in mexico.
