    We're approaching the "great settling down" of the world, who will come in first place and who will be the suckers in last??
    Those just starting out at the bottom - the kids born in just the past few years - will have lives no different than Asian kids growing up -- you study tediously throughout school, and if you fail to make it into college, your life is basically over and you are doomed to hard labor.

    Everyone's told in the US "you have to go to a post-secondary school after highschool if you want to be successful", but the business world simply CAN'T ABSORB any more workers! There's too many people just getting out of trade school or community college with a worthless 4 year degree who can't find a job anywhere. Those getting out of universities find themselves in even worse positions.

    The idea of working manual labor is so terrifying to young people right now that working in manual labor is actually BOOMING, and handing out ridiculous salaries. A kid who I knew in highschool same class as me has only been out of school for 4 years, worked for something like 1.5-2 years out in North Dakota working for a very very decent salary for someone just starting out work, and now he's looking for a house to own. Then I look at other kids: they have kids of their own, have to pay child support, have student loans they can't pay off, are up to their eyes in debt, and can barely make ends meet.

    So like I said, it could be worse. I could be in debt, having to pay child support, etc etc and have no opportunity for the future. Or I could have just done absolutely nothing since high school and be in an entirely better position. I could be doing a lot better for myself sure not covering that up, but looking at what's happened to most of my peers since High School, I could definitely be in a position that's a lot worse.

    And what is life anyways? At the end of the day you're still going to be shitting in a toilet, sleeping in a bed, and eating pretty much the same food everyone else eats. The things I enjoy, drugs, music, partying, friends, sex, and women, come either cheap or free. What's wrong with that? "Not doing your part in society" - who the hell is? The only people I can think of off the top of my head is firemen and construction workers. Everyone else has been fiddling the books, haven't they?

    I'll gladly do my part in society, stick me behind a desk or whatever and tell me what it is that I'll be doing. And training? Most of its common sense isn't it? And anything I don't know I'll just ask somebody or fucking google it.

    Who ever needed education? Do we really need 12 years of it? All the education I wanted or needed after like grade 9 I got from books or the internet, all the classes from like 10-12 were a load of bullshit. There was at least a few of those classes they could have just cut out, couldn't they have? A few of those 60 minute long classes could have been condensed to 5 I reckon. When a person actually wants to learn something meaningful and the teacher is willing, it takes a few seconds for the information to be communicated, not 60 fucking minutes. Think about it, kids barely get up in time and don't eat breakfast, haul themselves off to school and try to stay awake for a lecture they don't care about with a teacher who's yawning and going through the same thing, gives them work to beat that 10 minute lecture into their head through repetition over an hour or two, and sends them on their way. Then they eat a dinky little lunch that's the same exact lunch a 5 year old eats who weighs literally 1/4 the high school student's weight. Blah blah blah its a big ugly process isn't it?
