High School

From your past posts I don't even really like you that much lol, but I agree with you 100% on this. Yeah... the wheels keep spinning round and round but sometimes the drop goes much lower than past cycles...

And 22-17 is still a pretty decent age gap. But fuck, at least yopu can see what's happening...

 

He's like 23, wtf?
Like he's out of the loop because he's so fucking old? lol

 

And you're complaining about kids getting fucked up and fucking whoever they want. You contribute to the behaviour of such a kid then have the audacity to turn around and complain about their behaviour. This shows a great lack of maturity, looks like you're not really any different from all those kids you complain about are you?

Don't get me wrong, I completely understand that most teenagers are irritating hypocritical dipshits. I'm just pointing out the fact that you aren't an exception.

 

"Donna, this is Betty. You've got the most beautiful eyes, baby...
.. let me take your picture??"

 

I see they let retards graduate in canadia too. quit worrying about the sluts and pay attention in english class.

 

I did my homework, and then shagged when I was fifteen. It makes sense.

 

Sucks

I agree, girls are pretty fucked now-a-days.
Why can't alot of them just chill out? Fucking facebook definitely has something to do with their behavior.
Drama is so much worse than its ever been,
and girls are fucking slutty.

GOD. I HATE BEING A GIRL. lol

 

I'm hoping that this isn't a serious response.

I posted a new thread as I don't really want to hijack this one.

"And all God's people say "Amen""

I tried repping you for the two italicized reasons. Sadly enough, I apparently have to spread it around. Know that the intentions were there though ;D

 

Yeah this is part of what i was talking about. Its basically a system. We are born. Need money. So, we NEED to go to school. So we NEED to work. Well i dont want to work for some company whose owner fires whoever he wants and rakes in all the cash. example. in the movie wall street mr.gecko. I want to be whatever the hell i wanna be and i dont have to go to school to do that. Hiring someone for a job should be based off of how hard of a worker he is, and how well he does his job. school has nothing to do with either of those 2. the only reason its a requirement for you to go to school is because the state makes money when you go.

 

Yeah. What sucks the most about it being this system is that it's so hard to get out of it, let alone get out and lead a really good life. But there are definitely a ton of people that have, so it's certainly not impossible to do.

 

lol so much has changed in the whole not even full 5 years since I've been out of high school.

Actually the state generally loses a substantial amount of money in terms of loans and scholarships and the fact state school tuitions are substantially subsidized, which is why a non resident of said state will pay over twice as much to go to the same school.

Again, it doesn't matter how hard a worker you are, any worker that knows more in general is a more valuable employee. Face it, going to school is what gives people the best chance to do what they want to do.

 

Thats not true at all. A hard worker will be better than a person who knows more and doesnt do jack.

Practice beats skill when skill doesnt practice.

 

You're using a strawman argument though, no one is going to keep a worker who does nothing regardless of how skilled or intelligent they are, so they're not even a competition. Your competition is with people who actually work.

 

and who actually works? hard workers

check and mate.

 

Dude...you said c**t.....I hope you don't kiss your Grandma with that mouth. If someone ever said that to my face there ass would be owned. Their balls would be nothing but a puddle of jelly. "Some" girls do not have any respect for themselves or are insecure and clearly you have no respect for them either. But the same goes for dudes, but unforuntaely people don't always recognize the fact that males are usually even more promiscuous. It takes two to fuck...gl with your issues...

 

Most people are hard workers, not all hard workers have an education.

 

If that is your opinion, it doesn't particularly bother me.

Acknowledged. But fucking a drunk, coked out 15-year old is legally real rape (in Canada, she legally can't consent when high)... Depending on other factors, it can legally be a slam dunk case (who provided the liquor, etc)

...but it is the "good Captain" who brought it to all of our attention as something we should laugh at.

And she can use humor all she wants to cope with it.

Captain Highschool walking in and finding it hilarious isn't a defense mechanism, its schadenfreude.

Laugh away, boys. This isn't any different except the good captain didn't get photographs.

 

I can't quite wrap my head around this thread so i'm having a hard time formulating thoughts...where to begin, where to begin....

to all the high schoolers posting that school is worthless:

I know you think you sound anti-establishment, rebellious, like you're raging against the machine and fucking the system. But you don't. You sound exactly like the immature, spoiled high school kid that you probably are. You probably still live with your parents and you don't have any bills so of course its easy for you to say that employers hire hard workers over educated workers, that the monetary system is a joke, and that its possible to live outside of the system.

The thing is, I agree with you to a certain extent. There is a lot more to life than money and you should try to live outside the system as much as possible. The only catch with that is you need money to survive. You also need to work with the system in order to lift yourself out of the system. And i promise you, the only thing in the world that will help you get out of any organized system is education. Education is the most important thing you can ever do for yourself.

You think you can graduate high school and get a job because you're a hard worker? Of course you can. There are plenty of blue collar jobs available out there for people without a college degree. However, how exactly does that lift you out of the system that you disdain so much? That puts you directly into the foundation of the system. Congratulations, you know have a steady paycheck. But wait, not only do you disdain the system, you disdain money. Well, the only way that I can see to avoid both "the system" and money is to become entirely self sufficient. For this you'll need ...money to begin. But your bluecollar job only affords your basic life neccessities. You can afford to buy a house or pay rent on one, put a couple of kids through college (and i promise you, once you have kids the value of education will suddenly appear like a beacon of light), take a vacation once a year, but you're not going to have much money to save for the farm you'll want to buy if you truly want to live off the grid and be self sufficient.

You don't want to live on a farm? Guess what..you'll never be truly out of the system in that case. You'll always work for someone else, unless you own your own business, but then you'll be dealing with that evil of all evils, money, on an intimate and daily basis. Of course, you can always live outside of the system by pursuing a creative endeavour as well. But that requires a lot of time and dedication, and if you're working 12 hour days in your blue collar job then you aren't going to have a lot of time to focus on art.

Lets say you somehow manage to save enough money to either buy a farm and move off the grid, or buy into your own business, or even take a year off work to write a novel. This is where education will suddenly seem important.

What do you know of farming? What do you know of irrigation methods, of rotating crops, of seasonal crops? Farming is something you can learn by trial and error but there are going to be a lot of lean months while you learn. A degree in agriculture would certainly come in handy right now.

So you don't go that route. You open up your own business instead. All of a sudden you realize you don't know the first thing about labor laws, about the law of supply and demand (especially since you appearantly think a high school education is worthless as well, so you've never even gotten the most rudimentary economics education), accounting, bookkeeping, all the minute, migraine-causing details that go into running a business smoothly. What would really help this situation? A degree in business certainly would!

So you write a book instead. But the publishing business can be daunting and hard to navigate if you've never taken any classes about it. The publishing house is less likely to take you serious without a degree attached to your manuscript and if they even consider you for publication an editor wouldn't know where to begin because you never paid attention in that worthless English class in high school so there are grammatical and structural errors all throughout your book. A degree in English would probably help you out a lot.

These are all just examples, of course.

Forget about the value of a degree in the current job market for a second. I do think that Americans have a tendency to view education as the means to an end, and I certainly understand why high schoolers have a hard time respecting higher education when they relate it to nothing but finding a job after school. High schoolers still have their ideals intact, and to them there is more to life than working towards the grave. I happen to agree.

Think instead of education as a powerful tool in and of itself. You want to consider yourself anti-establishment? You must first learn the rules of said establishment. What are you going to do when the government comes knocking on your door and you don't know the first thing about constitutional law? You'll find yourself surrendering things you don't need to surrender or fighting for things you don't really need to fight for because these things are protected under laws that govern this nation...laws you would have learned about if you saw any value in government class in high school.

I can think of a number of other examples, but this is already the longest post in the world so I'll stop. I'm sure you've gotten my point already.

Knowledge is power (cliche, but so, so true). If you don't actively work to constantly expand your mind, you will be taken advantage of by those more educated than you for your entire life. The education system provides you a structured, disciplined environment in which to expand your mind. Its true that you will probably learn more after high school than you do in high school, even without going to college, but a high school education sets the foundation for the rest of your life.

Everything you learn in high school will come back to you. History repeats itself, you will at some point need to write a well articulated letter or email, if you're into drugs at all you need to know basic chemistry and biology to understand what you're doing to your body, the laws of physics govern every single thing thats ever happened around you, you'll never understand how fucked up the american economy is unless you understand how its supposed to be, at some point in your life you will be required to do more than basic addition and subtraction....every single subject you've taken in high school can be applied to something very concrete in your life. It is not worthless.

America's education system is not the best in the world. Its very much flawed, but its still providing you with a foundation. What you do with that foundation after high school is up to you. There are millions of kids around the world who don't get to go to school and because of that, they understand that education is a priviledge. Deeming it worthless just exposes you for the spoiled, priviledged american that you are. (and by you, i mean all you kids in here that dont see the value of education..not one specific person).

i'm done
