Charlotte Iserbyt - Deliberate Dumbing Down of the World

Apr 12, 2012 - She is only saying that children shouldn't be taught that inequality is wrong. She isn't saying that people shouldn't help other people if they are suffering. Should I have a car just because you have one? What about two cars?

mearbhrach Says:

Apr 12, 2012 - No, she's not an idiot. Yes, children are being taught to care for those who don't have as much as they do, which is good. The problem is that they are being taught this by being told that inequality at whatever level is wrong. If this becomes a law (judicial law or social pressure) they are going to realise that making an effort to improve their lives isn't going to result in anything else than envy and destruction from their surroundings. Even if they are nice or helpful to others.

Apr 15, 2012 - When does United Statesian popular culture encourage pluralism? Most of the pablum (sit-coms etc.) that United Statesians are watching are full of xenophobic messages to make them feel good about their country. No positive messages about the world, just about them. Rome is burning, and if United Statesians don't start reading and smarten up soon, it will be bad for us all... that is the saddest part of it. If I get reactionary responses rather than smart ones to this, it proves my point.

Apr 16, 2012 - hahaha you fucking dumb piece of shit. I guess thats why the only kids who agree with socialism are the ones out the back smoking weed who have no time for school because their parents actually took the time to teach them about how the world really works. The last half of what you said is true though, theres nothing to fear from knowledge

Apr 27, 2012 - I was given an American history that consisted entirely of a blooper reel with nothing in between. First we killed Whales, then Indians, then slaves, then black people/women/gays, then the earth. Humans are nothing but a cancer and need to not exist for the earth to survive. probably 95% of the kids who weren't religious and/or troublemakers became rabidly liberal progressive and the results I see on facebook is alarming

May 1, 2012 - Your position is fully invested in the idea that you in government know best how to control and dispense resources. In reality you gather the wealth for yourselves, distribute the crumbs and say all along how altruistic you are and concerned for the welfare of others. Either you lie, and it is you who is a beast, or you are duped, and it is you who is the idiot.

May 8, 2012 - "mans free will is the problem--face it folks" - We, who are normally peaceful and thoughtful, need to allow our voices to rise and our anger to boil when we say things back to them like "Your position is fully invested in the idea that you in government know best how to control and dispense resources. In reality... ". This is very difficult for me, and these weasels living off tax dollars exploit our control of our demeanor. Ire is a useful too and we need to remember and use it against ...

dscotesegmail Says:

May 8, 2012 - Uhh... Individuals have concern for "those whose lot in life was set in cement from the day they were born", NOT society. Whatever you attribute to "society" in that sense is rationalization for government redistribution AGAINST the will of those individuals.

May 22, 2012 - No my friend because of the 1%, the rest of us have the opportunity to aspire to our dreams and lift ourselves up. If you want to see equality of the masses look at Cuba. Better still, you should immigrate there! God Bless America, and the rewards afforded individual effort.

May 27, 2012 - Having graduated from high school in 1968, I can readily see the denegration of our education system which is reflected (to my dismay) in my own grandchildren. Schools today spend too much time on social "indoctrination" and little on actual, real world training. ANYONE WITH KIDS TODAY SHOULD IMMEDIATELY WITHDRAW THEM FROM PUBLIC SCHOOL & "HOME SCHOOL" THEM !!!!!!!!!! NO MORE SOCIALIST BRAINWASHING !!!!
