Why is it that man can't stand things that are different than man himself? If you look back through history, you will find that so many of our wars, riots, and murders took place because people were just "not the same." or "not fitting in." Why does man take things that he knows aren't his to have? America didn't belong to the white men and the pilgrims. No, it was the Native Americans land long before others had "discovered" it. The fact that we call ourselves "civilized" is just incredibly stupefying to me. Why do we fight wars really? Why does the government of America tell us that "everything is lookin' up now!!," when they know that the economy is sinking? I don't understand that. I probably never will understand that. But one thing is for sure. If America doesn't pull it's head out of its' ass, then we will never see a day where there is no issues with race, money, or even bullying. But alas, Americans want security over freedom and that is something that should never be given up to obtain. The "American Way" used to mean something. It used to be a favored place among everywhere in the world. But now, we are facing the problem of an "Education relapse" as I like to call it. This simply means that instead of becoming smarter in our schools, we are progressing backwards in evolution. People are becoming dumber and dumber each year. Because kids today aren't disciplined at all, they aren't pushed by their parents to do better, and on top of that all, they are just losing interest in becoming anything in life now. When did this change start? Why do I have to be among a class of "pot-heads" and delinquents? Well I will tell you why. The "no child left behind" act has put more schools being in education then it has helped. In the state of Mississippi, the grade to make failing is now a Fifty-Nine and below. The year before it was a Sixty-Nine. The year before that it was a Seventy-Four to fail at all! All i can ask is "Why America? Why do you insist on making your children dumber and dumber? Why is everyone more worried about the "radical Muslims" getting them?" I have some news for the people who are scared of the terrorists, if they wear a dress and a towel on their head and sandals, they don't look very scary to me. Just saying, but they look like queers running at you wanting to blow you up so that they can go to heaven to Allah. Well, if you can take him out by stubbing his toe then wont that kinda defeat the "scary" part? The only reason we are so scared of them in the first place is because they got the drop on us ONE TIME!! Once America! Don't be that weak. I am a mere fifteen and am not scared of a guy in a dress trying to blow me up. I'm more scared of death then them! This country used to be worth a damn. What happened? Really, what happened? Where did the smart people go? The kids who wanted to be scientists, the kids who wanted to be doctors, and even the kids who wanted to be just a plain old mechanic? At least they knew what they wanted to do! The kids of today are all worried about their weed and their girls. The only reason for caring for the girl is for sex of course. Seeing as how almost all of the guys wit a shred of dignity are gone. What happened to asking a girl politely "Miss, may i have this dance?" Now we have "Hey babe, you lookin so fine with yo' old skirt so high up that i can see yo' vagina hangin out. Can i have this hump?" Why? Why, why, why? I wish i was from a different time in American history where the people cared for one another and took care of their peers. But alas, I'm stuck with today's generation. I hope that by reading this you have seen my point of view on the new "American way" and how it is just stupid. It benefits no one and only makes us more paranoid than ever. So stop it youth of America. Stop. And before you post something mean, just think, everyone is entitled to their opinion..... Just saying.
