George Carlin had a great bit regarding how poor our education system is in America about 20 years ago....it's only gotten exponentially worse since then.
Seems like fiction now, BUT wait!!!!George Carlin had a great bit regarding how poor our education system is in America about 20 years ago....it's only gotten exponentially worse since then.
Every year I watch the movie "Ideocracy" and see what came true this year.
Never too late brother. With the work force out there at this point if you have a good work ethic and a brain you will make alot of money. This combination is almost impossible to find anymore.I wish I had that direction as a young adult, because as an adult that's what I'd have done if I could go back.
I'd have to disagree~Never too late brother. With the work force out there at this point if you have a good work ethic and a brain you will make alot of money. This combination is almost impossible to find anymore.
WWIII< yeah I can see things going to hell in the world, but to be honest,"Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it...."
We could quite possibly be seeing the beginning of WWIII play out our in front of our eyes right now.
The only way to engage young people in history is to put it in a video game or on a phone.
They are not interested unless it affects them immediately.
They are just as clueless about their future.I just saw a SURVEY that was taken with Collage students at Spring Break 2022 this weekend.
They could not answer:
What is Memorial Day and why do we celebrate it?
What was the Revolutionary WAR and who fought in it?
What was the Civil War, why was it fought and who fought in it?
What was WWII and who and why was it fought?
What was Viet Nam?
No Friggen idea on Iraq or Afghanistan or where they are located.
HOW SAD IS OUR SCHOOL SYSTEMS WITH TEACHEARS CALLING THEMSELVES "EDUCATORS". Indoctrination of our children with false History.
Parents take notice when you are sending your children to school.
Good point! I feel your pain!I'd have to disagree~
as once the body gets to a certain point, them days of doing long hours of physical labor come to an end, add in some injuries and other health problems, and, it can for sure be too late to start a job in many fields !
if my health was better I'd be doing a LOT of different things, but cannot no matter how much I might want too!
health issue and old age, stop one from doing a lot, including making money even if you have the skills, if the body doesn;t let you, your out of the game!
i concur, it would be tough to find replacements, but we would have no choice but to re-institute the draft.....after the volunteer forces were depleted......its either that or raise the white flag & that is not an option period.WWIII< yeah I can see things going to hell in the world, but to be honest,
who would FIGHT this WWIII< today's youth?/ I some how just cannot see them doing the fighting our for fathers did, I just don;t see them being able to sacrifice themselves as so many other did,
they would be all crying in a few days and surrendering to who ever would care for them !
a lot of spoiled brats in the world today, , just don;t seem them doing much REAL fighting and getting there hands dirty, never mind anything else??
and heck, just think about how many of today's youth just don;'t LIKE guns or know how to use one? minus playing with video game one's and seeing them in movies!
its not like kids of a few decades back, where almost all of them shot a gun as a kid, or from family's with them!
be some strange war if it ever happens, ! I can just see the new international rules of war requiring nap time breaks and time set for charging there phones, and such LOL
OH what a world we live in n ow, thank GOD I grew up when I did!
