@tvswnet "History is writtnn by the victors" Winston Churchill

I'm pretty sure that violence has some part in the Milenia of history your refering to.

good words, just work on the delivery

Millenia of examples of how violence solves nothing and yet people still advocate it. Unbelievable...yet again another smarter-than-thou angry voice with nothing to offer but fear and hopelessness. Your "solution" to education saturation leaves out thousands of capable humans with dreams and abilities that are no less important than yours or mine. Your violence is also no more noble than theirs...despite what an angry ego might tell you. Resort to violence and you're no better than "them."

Some great views.

Something to add. Graduates earn bigger salaries once qualified. These salaries then get taxed more.

So I dont get the governments motives for making education elitist. Seems counter productive to any governments strategy.

Violence is Natural

Violence is like any other form of imposition of one persons will on another.. There are other forms of imposition of will which is perhaps more effective under certain circumstances. Be aware though that if u engage in that path, you should be certain that you will achieve victory through it or you will find a road of woe

Look at how the Egyptian uprising got started, it wasn't a brick through the window, it was a message of a single man who did not hesitate to give his life, make a point.

screw college. Most of what is taught in college is worthless. I don't know how many waiters and starbucks employees I've met with a college degree and thousands of dollars of student loan debt and these are the people who are lucky enough to even have a job.

Try to get an economics or accounting degree at most colleges and all you will be spoon fed is Keynesian bullshit.

@funkalunatic Isn't it interesting killing innocent people in other countries isn't taboo? The US govt destroys the entire infrastructure of countries like Iraq & obliterates entire villages in Afghanistan. All of that is acceptable. But it is taboo to protest the govt that supports such mass violence. Animal rights activists get labeled as 'terrorists' when they try to save the lives of animals by releasing them from laboratories. But it's fine when corporations destroy the environment.

Advocating property destruction or even protesting without a permit is way taboo here the US.
