FINALLY a Complete Series Set I DON'T Oppose!

[Ilikemuppets]

(like more money for education, so schools wouldn't have to speed children through childhood so fast).

I do not get the connection?

 

[wwfpooh]

Schools need funds and they're forced to make sure every kid pretty much passes to get said funds. So, to do this, they speed kids through childhood by forcing kids to know much more than previous generations (ex: making three year olds know what plot means & have them explain it).

 

[Ilikemuppets]

I thought then made them grow up anyway despite funds...

 

[wwfpooh]

Well, they do in some aspects, but it wasn't until "No Child" was passed that people started cracking down further on recess, something kids desperately need.

 

[Ilikemuppets]

Oh I agree that kinds need recess!

 

[wwfpooh]

But it seems as if schools think that recess is the cause of delinquient behaviors, and what's more unfortunate is that it's just too bad that cops--those people in uniform who are given the task of enforcing laws & protecting civilian lives--are following in the injust footsteps of our corporate systems, because they only are making sure people are living in accordance with the "need-to-be-fixed-so-that-everyone-can-feel-safe-and-could-benefit-from-it" law.

What I mean is that though some laws are good (and those that disobey them ought to be serving hard times), others are only benefiting those in control, and Lord knows, we ain't the ones in control after we give up our freedoms in order to sustain so-called security, & especially so after we realize that said security--i.e. our saftety--is being jepardized by those to whom we gave up our freedoms in order to be safe.

These people that say they're protecting us often use wire-tapping and tracking devices to save us from terrorists, but what happens if said protectors themselves invade our own right of privacy?

I mean, it is so easy now for people to use things like Google to find your house, locate you, and--thus--leave you easily accessible for the villains of this world.

As well, employers seem more apt to look at one's past before hiring.

Indeed, it is questionable for one to be--say, hypotheically-speaking--an ex-convict and be back out amongest the workforce within a few months following even a misdemeanor charge, but what about us regular joe's (for everyone's made a mistake at least once in their life)?

Sadly, it seems as if most people with mistakes seem less likely to be hired for even the most low-down jobs, because most employers nowadays seem to desire the perfect person (i.e. "the one" who's never made a mistake and as we know, it's practically impossible to find such a being).

So, with our economy in bad shape and us regular people not getting jobs due to outsourcing and the above reason, what can we--as a people--do to change the world?

You know? You are only scratching the surface with this stuff and how far they go...

 

[wwfpooh]

I figured. And I'd rather not know how far they'd go, thanks.

Speaking of complete sets:

Powerpuff Girls the Complete 10th anniversary collector's series

Considering that CN is giving a classic show that treatment, a show that put CN on the map shocks and surprises me in a happy manner. Granted, I may or may not buy it, and I'd prefer Dexter... but considering we weren't gonna see Seasons 2+ this boads well at the chance of seeing other classic CN shows on DVD, if this does well enough.

 

[wwfpooh]

Which means more Cartoon Cartoons could be put onto DVD. XD
