I am really dissapointed with our education system...(small rant)

Honestly this video made me sick. And it was actually shown in a school my friend went to [(summer school; it had a different title)]. Now when I see this, several things come to my mind, none of them are good. Basically, if you choose not to watch the video, it says that white people were cowardly back during slavery, and wouldnt stop causing problems. Now, they portray the white person in this film, as being savages basically. It says we continuously wiped out races and killed people relentlessly because we were such cowards. Now the reason I didnt put this into the YouTube topic is; The education system of America is WAY out of line. People say that it is [i]necessary[/i] to have an education in America. But i think that it is pointless to have an education when they give you such a narrow-minded view of everything. When I saw this, it really made me wonder about just [i]how[/i] narrow-minded the school system is. When in school you look at everything from the [i]liberal[/i] point of view. You never look at it through the republican point of view. They always told me, and amazingly tried to convince me, that republicans were just power/money hungry rich people who did bad to the comman man. This is false. It is the democratic people in congress who are causing us so much trouble with gas money. The republicans are trying to help us lower taxes and gas prices, and do away with the wel-fair system. Now you may think that doing away with the wel-fair system is heartless and mean. However, a lot of republicans are [i]trying[/i] to invoke the Fair Tax system. (to learn more about the fair tax system go [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FairTax]here[/url]). Our teachers tell us that the fair tax system would do us even worse than the tax we have right now. But if you read about the fair tax system, you will learn that this is false as well.

So i guess the topic for this thread is; What do you think about the American education system? Is it misleading, or do you agree with what they teach? I'm not saying anyone is wrong on this, I'm just saying that it is a little narrow-minded the way that teachers teach. So what do [i]you [/i]think?

Sorry to break it to you; This wasn't an episode of south park. Actually this was in a film by Michael Moore (the worst excuse for an american ever). They showed it to my friend at summer school recently. She called me around 7 today and told me :|. That's not south park though (actually Trey Parker and Matt Stone were mad at michael moore for doing this film in the style of their animations in a movie they made).

Matt Stone and Trey Parker are actually republicans and found this film to be repulsive.

Thats because the person who uploaded the video was a complete moron. You can look it up anywhere else, or read the comments and it will tell you otherwise. I'll change the link so maybe it wont be so confusing. Soz for the mishap.

**this video is actually from the michael moore movie; Bowling for Columbine. Columbine being the mass shooting that occured in I think oklahoma.**

Maybe where you live, im not going to say your wrong because i've never been to Aussy, but in America Republicans try to do the best for the people. And basically, people base all republicans on Bush. Really Bush didn't do THAT bad of a job. And most people who tell you Bush is bad, can't give you one supportive reason. But basically, i'm talking more about the school system. They told me (word for word) "Republicans used to be better than they are now, because back in the older days they were more like Democrats. And vise versa." Only half of that statement is true though. Republicans used to be worse back then because they were like Democrats. I'm just saying that the school system only delivers half of the message (the part that makes republicans look bad). And I think that the Government is trying to do that to us. I think they want to raise the kids to be narrow-minded little drones who will only look at 1 side of the story.

Thats almost a dictatorship (if it isn't really considered one). This is the way it works...

 

dictatorship- Can be a good government for the Nation, not necessarily for the citizens. Really isn't a good choice of leadership however.

 

Democracy- "2 wolves and a sheep deciding whats for dinner". True democracy is almost anarchism, which puts the people with too much power.

Its democratic,although the only flaw is that Lee Kuan Yew did so much to Singapore to the extend that Singaporeans rely on him the best...you can only imagine what would happen if he died

So, in a sense, It's kind of like the situation with China during world war 2 where Tojo lead? Or is it more like a good thing/bad thing at the same time with the way he's leading? I'm assuming that if he died it would probably result in a bad thing from what you've told me. So is he like a good leader, with too much censorship?

Honestly, being cheated in prices is worse. Censorship of making fun of God is more of a good thing. I'm an Atheist, but I know when it is WAY out of line to say anything about God, because it is a very very touchy subject.

No you misunderstand. I'm talking about things that would actually offend people. Like if I walk in a church and go

 

" Oh...God? That guys a prick"

 

That could only result in something bad.

 

and you misunderstood what i said earlier

 

if the republicans took over in australia we wouldnt have those funny comidys that are a tad bit insulting god

 

nway my god is haruhi suzumiya and i can explain it with just a picture i have

-.-' the only person who might find that picture offensive is maybe a strick catholic priest or something. But as far as the comedy* situation goes, that's a small price to pay. Honestly I dont know many funny comedians, and not may comedians at all, who make jokes about god that would actually offend someone. Sam Kinison was a good comedian, and he rarely made fun of god. He made fun of the pope, but that's different. In the end you've got to decide...what's worse; Unbearable inflation and unpayable prices, or not being able to laugh at god?

I'm not saying that it couldn't be seen as funny. But look at the message it portrays; It makes it look as though white people are just killing savages who were afraid of everything. Personally it didn't make me laugh; It made me scowl.
