Something We Could All Think About

[Meister]

Op is not about other countries. It's about us. I could say the Republican Party could help but they are on a holy crusade against "Guvment skoolz!!!"

We didn't have tent cities, youngster. Now we do.
We didn't have people shitting in the streets, now we do.
We didn't have needles laying in the streets, now we do.
We had family cores with two parents for the most part, now we don't.
It's plain to see that they lowered the education system so you could graduate. Good for you.
America is in decline and you don't recognize it because you weren't here to see the contrast, sonny.

In the1930 s we had entire states that were homeless.

Dad grew up with just a mom because his dad died. Divorce rates went through the roof with the Boomers.

How are we to you going to improve education?

Daddy and mommy are fighting!

 

[Zincwarrior]

You mean indoctrination camps?

So how are you going to fix things?

Wrong generation. I was working at 13. No time for trophies.

How are we to you going to improve education?

Go back to the basics.
Close the borders to illegal immigration.
Give the education back to the states, and out of the hands of the feds.
Get rid of the teachers union.

Sounds like you're going down a rabbit trail, Zinc. Re read the OP, you are singing to the choir.

Of all the contributions that Lewis Carroll made to the English language—burble, chortle, gimble, galumph—by far the most useful to contemporary culture is “rabbit hole.” Carroll did not, of course, invent the rabbit hole; that distinction belongs to rabbits.

The expression is “preaching to the choir.”

Church leaders preach. That's why they're called preachers.

Don't you just love it when moderators fight?

Let's modify that.

Crap can't type on phone. I agree with several but let's discuss tomorrow. I will focus on the education side.

not true,, the indians had a lot of white slaves as well as the ones in africa that still to this day have some,,,

while your complaining about people that are no longer slaves youre ignoring the millions that are enslave today as we speak,,,

Yeah, the millions of women sex slaves, told they can get jobs as maids in America, and presto! they are injected with addiction drugs and pimped out. Worked till they die or wear out, as slaves usually are. Funny how people don't care about that.

Given that Prince Andrew of the royal family of our closest national ally does indeed seem to have -- partaken -- it doesn't surprise me that it's a big secret.

What years are you talking about?

wasnt talking about it being secret was talking about why its secret with democrats holding the evidence,,,, why if its such a big problem do democrats allow it to happen??

Hey, I'm working on it!

First, please make a sound like a bunny rabbit hopping going down the hole a trail.

Yeah, I see all those republicans tearing down statues
and removing books from the schools libraries.

Well…they ARE removing books from school libraries and effectively trying to erase certain perspectives from history. Cancel Culture is enacted by both ideological extremes here, amplified and abetted by social media and niche opinion outlets.

[Circe]

I remember when the sixties generation used to bitch about the following generations...oh wait, it's still the Boomers bitching.

Darn right --- what the Boomers want, the Boomers get.

Oh speak for yourself for once. “You guys”….

You and I are white. Do we have a clue on how offensive certain stereotypes might be to people who never BEFORE had the ability to speak out against it?

The Mamie is one that though it never bothered me, I can see how it can be offensive. Sometimes though, it gets just plain silly (silly as in the Great Pronoun War), but sometimes it really is time to change. The key is recognizing that as opposed to rampantly excising it or rampantly defending it.
