  • Yes I think most Americans are stupid, I think most students are stupid as well. I also believe many Americans are ignorant of a lot of things. However I do not blame Americans for there ignorance and stupidity. I think a lot of people in America want to make sure that the Americans stay stupid. I think they want the public not to know simple stuff like rights, laws, where to get aid and whats going on in other places of the world or in the economy.

    I believe that many schools students end up fat and stupid. I believe students end up fat and stupid since the school systems are not good environments for learning and we dont treat them as such. There was a discussion about shutting down public schools or making them not mandatory and the excuse for keeping children in school was "If they are not in school they will be robbing houses".

    Which we all know is bullshit since during summer vacations all the students are home while the parents are at work. What we usually do is play video-games and watch tv since most students dont live close enough to hang out. So parents honestly dont care if children are learning about anything at school they just dont want their houses robbed. As well as that the American school system crushes learning and creativity. They want you to do it a certain way, and only that way, they do not want children to be smart enough to think on there own, and they frown on anything they dont view as mainstream.

    Most schools prioritize how many children they can drug and get into special education they dont really care about how many smart students they have. they dont care about stopping bullying which is another distraction. I spent all of 6th grade being chased and run down constantly even in the classroom. When your mind is focused on where the next threat is going to come from you dont really have time to be thinking about math equations do you?

    • By and large, I agree with most things you say here. American society makes parents so busy making a living (or chasing money and fame, all for themselves). As a result, the kids suffer. That is not to say young kids are not at fault. A lot of them are self-entitled, lazy, ungrateful, etc.

      Not to mention American society is all about chasing after celebs who try so hard to show off their boobs and shit.

      • We dont teach them anything different, we neglect them and tell them to sit in front of the tv or the video-game set, we dont try to put them in sports or try to help the socialize. Parents dont do whats healthy for the kids and than the kids become antisocial, bitter, and addicted to electronics. We dont teach them any better, We tell them this is what everyone is doing, and the kids who want to do anything other then sit in front of the telli is drugged up for ADD/ADHD so they stay quiet and complacent.

        This is the American dreams. Children are worthless in this society, all they are is dollar signs. We care about adult since they can make us money by working so we are obligated to care if they quit the job. However you can make more money neglecting and abusing children so why the fuck would you bother helping them? Then they become fat unhealthy adults addicted to the internet and electronic devices.

        We should stop the cycle and make a New America, we should stop relying on the tv to raise our children and encourage parents and schools to give a damn. We should stop the cycle of lazy parenting, lazy schooling, and teaching our children the wrong thing. We should care about the well being of our children and our future which we have forgotten about. WE NEED A NEW AMERICA, WE BLAME MCDONOLDS BUT ALL WE NEED TO DO IS LOOK IN THE MIRROR! ITS SHIT BECAUSE OF US! WE ALL COMPLAIN WONDERING HOW IT GOT THIS WAY BUT THE ANSWER IS US! WE DID IT! WE RUINED OUR FUTURE AND WE ARE RUINING OUR CHILDREN! WE NEED TO CHANGE, I SAY WE START A NEW BEGINNING AND A NEW AMERICA AND WE CHANGE THINGS OURSELVES BUT WE CANT DO THAT TILL WE ALL ADMIT WE ARE TO BLAME! NOT THE FAST FOOD COMPANY'S! ITS ALL OUR FAULT! WE NEED TO STOP BEING WORTHLESS SHIT HEADS AND CARE ABOUT THE CHILDREN AND THE FUTURE! THE CHILDREN ARE THE FUTURE!

        • I certainly enjoy reading your opinions. The uppercase is getting difficult to read, though.

          What do you think of the influence of poverty, race, culture, etc., on the current social problems in America. More specifically, there are (at least) two things standing out:
          1) The big CEOs and shit are getting greedy and make people work so hard to live. Therefore, SOME parents have no choice.

          2) That said, I have seen some poor people busting their asses, earning a living by flipping hamburgers, etc. Yet, they MUST have Samsung Galaxy 6, iPhone 6, big-ass cars, etc. This goes in different races (black, white, Asian, Hispanic, etc.)

          • Most races beside what we consider white people are poor or poor immigrants, and so we have the culture of poor people. You wonder why so many asains and Hispanics are in the cities right? Since that is where you go for A.Business and B.If your poor. So in the cities you have the very well off and the very poor. Business is attracted to the cities because there is such large amount of people, and poor people often live in Apartments.

            People assume its because we are somehow forcing colored people to live in the poor neighborhood but its not. Also why its more likely for a colored person to get arrested. The white people came from places like Europe which was basically just as industrialized as the US is now.

            Most other cultures are not. In the city since we have so many poor people there is a lot of crime and this also goes to why are they poor. Are they poor since they are from a poor country like mexico, are they poor because they were addicted to drugs, are they poor since they are crazy and could not afford to stay in the mental homes.

            Again drugs are business so its very easy to sell illegal drugs where there is large areas of concentrated people. Which is going to mean drugs are very noticed in schools as well as cities. The pharmaceuticals are drugs pushers in the way but they are official businesses but its clear the American ones would push for medication before they try any kind of therapy.

            Which means we drug and over-diagnose our children. People seem to assume that all these things happen to particular races because we are oppressing them, but the fact is we have not oppressed colored people in America for many years. Its just how things are. I not saying its good but if you look at how the world is you understand why things happen this way. Its not because cops hate colored people and not all cops are white people either.

            So the concept that America is racist in that regard is really ignorant. Of course most people dont stop to think they follow everything they are spoon fed which in fact the public school system teaches them. You will be spoon fed and repeat what I tell you, if you think on your own we will put you in a mental institution, CONFORM, CONFORM, CONFORM!

            However I do think how we treat others based on race and the idea people are opressed makes them more racist. If you treat a white person bad for being white they might eventually say "Go to hell", and if you tell a Mexican hes too white for like anime and not doing drugs or listening to rap he probably going to hate himself for not being Mexican enough. We are just people and should stop separating ourselves based on race, America is a melting pot and people should remember that! They do not understand the spirit of America which has nothing to do with politics

            I guess honestly this is a lot of information to process. The only reason I notice it is because im so observant. I guess I really cant expect other people to understand something as complex.

            • These are complex social issues for sure. The rich and powerful don't care, and the poor can't do a thing. That's why nothing changed.
