when one considers the trillions put into education & the pressure/unhappiness that children are forced to endure, it's obvious that something is wrong somewhere. the vast amount of subjects forcefully taught will never ever be applied in adult life. it's child molestation & a crazy kook setup run by sadists. children grow up like broiler chicken, sick & ready to be slaughtered by the owners.

is it also a coincidence that they never teach children about money in school as if it's a dirty word ?

How many of you know Theoretical Quantum Physics equations and the price of an 8-ball? Or can quote the works of Shakespeare while understand that Bf3 is clearly better than MW3? Do you understand? Education doesn't restrict itself to your scholastic career and you certainly don't stop learning once you graduate.....so what deems a person intelligent? I don't know about you guys but to me, a genius is a person who is happy....think about that

Another seep bleating response!! Freedom of speech. Didn't know Al quada had the power to fuck off the first amendment. LMfao. Please tell me how that they could have pulled that off? And you proudly say you were in the infantry? What kind of Infantry doesn't engage an enemy? A bunch of faggots? You got nothing but a nigger looking truck.I'll bet you listen to nigger music rap too. Stfu and put a shirt on that flabby nothing body.

Murderer, LOL, what dimension are you living in? How do know if I have even killed an enemy or not? You can't just look at any soldier and say, Murderer!, well wait, yes you can. Brave soldiers have fought and died for your freedom of speech, otherwise, your trollish behavior, somewhere else, would end in your demise. There is one thing I can tell for fact though, if there was a zombie apocalypse, your survival factor is low.

hahaha. An enlisted murderer. How quaint. More sheople programming. Leading other sheep doesn't make a leader . It makes a bloodlust trained killer. Did you forget that you're not God? Playing God with people's live that have done nothing to you. Tsk tsk. And put a shirt on that peckerwood out of shape flab. You ain't nothing to look at.

Your generalizations based on someone’s appearance show how naïve you are, and prejudice. My 14yrs US Army Infantry, and being a team leader, hmm, go figure. Do you not fix yourself up in the morning before departing your home? Why do you do this? Exactly, so anyone can be called a follower for stupid reasons. That does not mean you are a follower. I came outside the box a long time ago. I am a realist. And there is no way I can look at a picture, and judge someone’s leadership qualities.

[drumchakra]

The crack dealer rims on your stupid truck say that you are a follower. Not a leader. That means mindless sheeplike dude. So if you are just a follower then so what can you transmit to your kids? The one size fits all school system is shit.
