******Official politics thread ******

yeh I mean, i realized we were screwed when we killed osama there was something like a free 5 millino dollars they seized and were going to do something with it in the goverment, I told my uncle, hey put it in education! thinking that NOBODY could argue against that, he was like WELL THAT WONT HELP!.. you see its the parents that educate their children, not schools.

and I was like sigh, fuck it.

Just today at the gym I was thinking about how important education reform is. I rate it as #3 most important aspect of politics for me, personally.

1st is of course maintaining our international bully status that keeps the bux cummin in. I hope to phase this out within the next 70 years
2nd is economic superiority. again I hope to transition this to a globalist currency in the next two generations.
But those hopes are only possible if #3 happens, which is actually getting a well-educated populace.

The problem right now is a lot of corrupt people are taking advantage of a relatively idiotic populace. It's a lot easier to manipulate dumb idiots and lie to their faces and then metaphorically rape them if they are stupid. So, what's the incentive for a lot of profiteering politicians and corporate phonies to educate the fat, walmart/dorito addicted masses of America? So they can get voted out of office? So it's harder to trigger a frenzy of hatred towards the ever-terrifying "other" when they suddenly have gained perspective, awareness, and critical thinking through the education system you hand delivered to them?

I am a genius who began taking full load University courses at age 14 through an experimental program called the Early Entrance Program at Cal State Los Angeles. When I'm not working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week and finding brief respite through a frenzy of forum posting, I am studying for the LSATs. I will get into Harvard Law School. I will sink a small fortune of the money I am going to make in the next year into this education where I will network and establish myself as a member of the upper echelons of society. I will infiltrate the system and bring down the horn and deliver unto the slimey masses the thing they want least, but need most: GOD DAMN EDUCATION

Thanks for your quick replays guys.

Dont know what to say right now...what you said sounds very hardcore to me. Or how Mickmoranis said it; like "the wild west".

I hope I dont sound like a Arrogant European Hipster now, but I am glad that we dont have such a problem here.
Dont get me wrong, we have many other problems and are not any better. And the USA also have some of the most intelligent people on earth.

But from my POV a good education/enlightenment system is one of the most important pillars of a country.
It can slove/reduce so many problems on a long-term.

Europe has a lot of great things going for it, thats for sure.

it comes at a great cost though,I've never met a 'cool' europian. So thats the cost you kno? Nice sure, but cool? no way. Nobody people are like, shit that guy is AMAZING damn what a bad ass!

Youre life is good and you guys have great programs in europe... but the coolest person you got is still some dorkey sweed trying to fit in laughing at dumb shit at any party that you go to.

At best that soccer player is Europe coolest person, and he married a spice girl, which no matter what way you look at it, is not cool. And hey the dude plays in a sports where bitches run around in short shorts pretending theyre hurt for a score of 2-1 after like 4 hours. Its pathetic ugh.

Its worth it IMO

Say what you will about Americans and the way we do things, it makes cool, cool people.

It's true, after traveling extensively and considering living in other 1st world countries (Switzerland, Australia) primarily, I've determined 1 thing.

America is fucking awesome. I'm lucky to live here.

@mickmoranis gotcha.

Aye, I enjoy this discussion here, and I am grateful for getting diffrent opinions and not being called a socialist or nazi for asking some (weird) questions. But since my english isnt the best, I just like to point out from time to time that my questions/opinions are not meant to hurt anyone.

Are people really surprised that the generation that put convienance over most built a shitty education system that doesn't educate but train?
