Inner cities have nothing to do with it. It's actually getting access to these schools - many of them are full or understaffed and can't take on new pupils - and the parents cannot afford to move to somewhere else to try different schools.

You have a very prejudiced opinion on this, probably based on your experiences with just one or two people. There is no such thing as a "kid thinking". Kids don't "think" in a way that can be compaired to adults - there is no single NORMAL kid that finds school enjoyable. They'd all rather turn planet earth into chocolate and spend the rest of their days eating it.

Oh yeah, you "figured" didn't you. God it took you an entire five minutes to realise that maybe you should've checked through the whole website BEFORE you started talking a load of bull.

I didn't look at every single word on that site, but I did check that they were getting their information from credible sources. You didn't, and it took you five minutes to realise it would be a good idea - perhaps you need quizzes to smarten you up a little.

May I remind you that YOU are also not old enough to vote, since you are still in HIGH SCHOOL. Yeah, you remember that? Well that's why I held on to it buddy.

I did read your post, and that does NOT make sense. WTF is "normal military spending" supposed to be? What do you mean by "added on"? What exactly do you imagine would be "added on" to the cost of war, and cost THAT much? The price of the chemical cleaner they put in the porta-potties?

Oh yeah, you're guessing that are you? It doesn't even make sense! "the total is combined to normal military spending". No it's not dumbass, the total IS the normal military spending. The clue is in the name "Cost of war" dip****.

In case you haven't noticed, I wasn't "taking it that way" or any other way. I was being something called objective, a mode that your primtive systems are unable to execute, cackhead. (Hehee, this is fun)

Man, you should work for the American military intelligence, they'd welcome you like a brother.

Did you know that there have been fraud investigations on companies that advertise statistics? This is because over 50% of all statistics and percentages are made up on the spot, because they have a psychological effect that door to door salesment have been using to win people over for years and years.

Aside from the thought of someone as ignorant as you actually listening to politicians being FUNNY AS HELL... LOL, I will add that I never said that he said "he considers bush to be a moron". I think it is rather obvious that Kerry thinks Bush is a moron - the only other explaination is that he is being opportunistic. Bush was the same, he pressed all the USAs buttons to get elected, then once he was elected he did stuff that US citizens disagreed with.

I'm not old enough to vote - but I gaurantee you that nobody in their right minds votes because they "know a lot about someone". I'd vote for kerry because he's more intelligent than president Bush, and realises that blowing up Iraq is less important than running the country properly.

WHAT the HELL, has knowing "tons of stuff about him" got to do with it? I'll vote for him because he's less of an idiot than bush, not because I know more about him than the perverted madmen that stalk his motorcade.

No it allows mothers to stay at home and raise their children.

No you can't. Don't lie. You don't have the brain capacity to "understand".

LOL I love this statement. "Get a babysitter if you must." LOL, well what the **** else will you do eh? Just leave the kid at home to fend for itself?

And what kind of substitute is a babysitter for a mom? The child needs to be raised by his or her REAL parents, and grow up around their love - and if you can't see the importance of that, then you're definately not fit to have children.

America was founded because our ancestors were greedy, money hungry, arrogant snobs. They'd taken the land by force, and now they wanted to call it their own. Doesn't look like much has changed after all these years.

Yes. Poor people can only pay so much in taxes, then there is a breaking point where they will only get poorer and poorer. Taxes do not need to be increased to fund research projects, America just needs to stop pillaging middle-eastern countries.

No, I'll tell you what "people want". People want to keep a roof over their head, they want to feed themselves and their children, they want their family to live in a healthy environment, they want to be able to LIVE a life that is more than just scraping a living so that they can support themselves.

Because if they can't even move to an area where their kids can get a public education, then they are hardly in a position to take out a loan.

Then you probably don't get out much, or don't talk to many adults. People complain about governors all the time. Complaining about presidential administrations is not the be all and end all.

I assure you I am not directing any blame. Nor is anyone else. We complain to and about those who are responsible for whatever it is we are displeased with. If it is our fault then the majority of us are intelligent enough to accept it. Are you?
