Stupid In America

At least 1.3 billion. So 4 1/2 times the US population.

Yay Belgium! Although I fear Belgium is lowering its standards.

I've watched about 15 minutes and the same question keeps running through my head - what about the parents? Take the 18 year old who can't read. His mother keeps blaming the schools. But what did she do? When he was 10, did you notice he couldn't read? What action did you take to make sure your son could read? The school can't do it all.

Sure, I think the mother should definitely partake in educating her son. But how the hell can an 18-year-old pass any classes in the States if he can't even read? I think that says a lot about US schools.

no shit. i don't blame the teachers completely though. alot of parents just don't give a shit or think of their teenage kids as babies and don't want their feeling hurt. the teachers are often forced to pass along the dumbass kids who ,like their parents, don't give a shit about the right things.

I think teachers these days are afraid of getting shot in the face if they piss off the right student. Also, I blame rap music. The marketing that young people are exposed to these days doesn't help either. Kids aren't motivated to work hard through school when they see basketball players and drug dealers driving around in benzos and sporting gold grills. Also, rap music is to blame.

This reminds me of an episode of sweet 16 I saw a while back. It was the episode with the super hot arab chick. During that episode she goes shopping with her friend and a couple of guys.

The two guys that she was hanging with looked like the biggest douchebags I had ever seen. They were fully hip-hopped out, had the gangstah strut, and just basically acted like a couple of guys who would probably never contribute anything to society, only live on their parents fortune.

And I think that's the problem. When all the hot chicks are going to POS douchebag ganstah wanna-be jackasses, why would any guy want to study and make something of himself?

Another thing that comes to mind is bullying. With so many of these POS douchebag ganstah wanna-be jackasses running around high school campuses and looking for attention from stupid hot chicks, bullying is probably a major issue moreso now than it was even back when I was in high school.

From the perspective of the adolescent who is going through puberty, it just doesn't pay to be smart in high school. And once people fuck up in high school, it's nearly impossible to pick things back up. They've already screwed themselves out of the best colleges and scholarships.

And this leads me to my next theory, which is that gangs wouldn't exist if it weren't for the pussy that gangsters get. I didn't go to a gang-infested high school, but my younger brother did. According to him, guys who are bonified gang members have their pick of the neighborhood females.

Can you imagine if being in a gang did not pay in the form of getting laid? This would make gang members into basically nerds. No one would want to be in gangs if that were the case.

And that's my theory. If girls in high school started giving head to the chess club instead of the football team, the United States of America would have the best math scores and the best science projects the world has ever seen. Nothing is a more powerful motivating force than sex.
