If that's the real problem, then who's to blame for it?

Originally posted by Vivid Boy everyone blames hip hop. these problems existed in the states before hip hop. hip hop is not he cause...

I don't really feel like going into and explain why it contributes quite a lot, but one thing I'm not saying the old school hip hop is bad, it's this new shit

Originally posted by Spam Actually... most parents would make GREAT parents if they were allowed to. But we live in a society where dual-income is king. The root of the problem began when married women wanted to work. And instead of the Dad giving up their job to parent, both parents just sent their kid off to day-care and school. And most of the time that COULD be spent raising their kids, the kid's usually sitting in front of a TV or at a friend's house.

HAHAHAHHA
yes! blame the women!!!
lol

Originally posted by Cosmic Fur Umm.. are you on drugs? Your argument falls apart because then it would mean that people who spent the most time in school would be the ones most likely to shoot people. Yes, shootings happen at universities ALL THE TIME. I can guarantee you the people who did the shootings haven't been in school in a long long time. Hmm.. I've been in school for a good 15 years already, and I haven't shot anyone. The people who did the shootings probably flunked out of high school. WHAT A FUCKING COINCIDENCE, EH? And you need to go to school until you're 25 so we don't create a society of ignorant idiots. If anything, I'd make post-secondary mandatory. The number of people in Canada who fail at basic math is astounding. Knowledge is not a fucking handicap. North America is already significanly dumber than our European counterparts, and you want us to be even more retarded? And no, not anyone can learn any job. There non blue-collar jobs out there. And quite a bit of them. Yeah, I know, I'm just as shocked by this as you are. And what is this anarchist worldview that you're imagining here? Since when was society able to take care of itself? We have no community fabric because people are overworked and underpaid with minimal vacation time, not because of school. There won't be a shortage of jobs because people who went to school will figure out ways of replacing the people who didn't.

Well, I'm really not about to push to get rid of our education system. I do believe that there are HUGE flaws in it as it stands now. Since I really don't care enough to look into the whole thing, I'll let you have the last word on this matter and stick to things I know a little more about.

All I'll say is that sitting a high-energy teen at a desk for 6 hours with 29 other teens and a single adult is deffinately NOT a beneficial thing to be doing if you want youth-violence to stop. Teens need adults in their lives that they can respect and grow wise from. These days, it seems, there are none.
