You want to can the quotes around 'wrong'? I don't think anyone is going to get offended if you say that slaughtering six million Jews and millions of others is morally 'wrong'. I don't believe in actual right and wrong. Killing six million jews was...  [Read More]

You get that little tidbit of history from 300? Bah! Sparta wasn't a democracy. In case you didn't notice, Leonidas was a King. The Spartans were a monarchical state, not a democratic one. No, I got it from history channel specials on Spartans to dis...  [Read More]

There was a time when a child would be beaten, set against other children, taught to kill and hunt, and set out into the wild for week, months, years at a time to prove themselves. They grew up to do the same, only the fittest and 'best' surviving to...  [Read More]

I have considered this idea in my mind ever since I was 10 or younger, but never had much of an interest to talk about it until now. Some could consider this a Gay, Gender, Sexuality, Mental, Medical, etc debate... so I guess I'll see what people cho...  [Read More]

This is a very thoughtful analysis. Sometimes, though, people who DO go to college will STILL end up with dead-end jobs. A lot of people choose to drop out of school because they can start making money on the spot in a full-time job. It may be a dead...  [Read More]

You are getting "paid" by going to school though. You go there to learn, you learn, and then if you graduate you get a diploma and have the opportunity to move onto a good college. Your payment is your bigger paycheck later in life instead...  [Read More]

Then the schools need to educate, not just babysit. Then maybe you should listen. Don't know your school education system, but saying to yourself the system is useless seems more like an excuse not to care at all. I get paid more than minimum wage j...  [Read More]

Actually, True, there are a lot of things wrong with education in this country (from the NEA being more concerned with $$ and politics than education to social promotion rather than skill based advancement). That said, there are many good schools in...  [Read More]

A lot of people wouldn't go to school. Especially when you consider that the school system in America just sucks and doesn't teach you anything. The only reason some people go to school is because there are redeeming qualities... such as it being a p...  [Read More]

OMG, **** having gender-segregated schools. I'd say the only redeeming quality of schools in America is they're the best place to meet (or just look at) hot girls your age. Without that I'd probably drop out. And, with that, you have proven my point....  [Read More]

Back O/T, I went to a mixed grade school system and a male only HS. Seems to me that both sexes learn better when seperated. Even then, some will always excel, while others lag behind. Besides, they'll get reintegrated back at the university level, u...  [Read More]

The system is not discriminatory to anybody. Everybody has the chance for equal pass and equal fail, but it is their choice to fail which falls back on the parents and society as a whole. So you are saying that it wrong to cater to one or the other,...  [Read More]

Agreed. Why don't we have gender seperate schools? Or at least Gender Seperate classes? Although, personally, I don't know what I would do if I had been given the option to go to an all girls school oposed to a mixed. The majority, if not all, my fri...  [Read More]

Does it matter? The same amount of people are going to smoke weed regardless if it is legal or not. Irrelevant issue in my opinion. I am curious, and amused, about this debate because it relates directly to another drug thats legal in so many places...  [Read More]

In CA, in divorces and debates about who gets the kids, the government will actually lean more to a parent that does not smoke to one who does because they consider second-hand smoke a form of child abuse by the parent in a home. I don't think this...  [Read More]

I'm a smoker, and very strongly opposed to the banning of smoking in *most* public places. I vastly prefer the idea of having non-smoking bars and non-smoking restaurants for those who prefer them and smoke-friendly bars etc. for those who who prefe...  [Read More]
