Educate the kids, or shut up (C.Nic Rant. Yes, ANOTHER ONE).

Permanent Linkby NicS on Wed Oct 19, 2011 5:26 pm

It seems whenever I do rants, they get over 300+ views, and I like knowing that somewhere, I'm destroying a LiveJournal by about 50 people. ###$ YOU, LIVE JOURNAL! YOU NEVER LET ANYONE READ DR. POQUES BLOG ANYMORE!!!

Anydoozle, were typing this thingy up at College, CWI Nampa campus to be more specific. And I love this ######6 place. I LOVE it. But yet, I can't seem to find the motivation to get the work done. I don't know why, I like the professors here and such, but the second I have to go online and write a term paper on why people don't vote for Poly Sci or what igneous rocks are for Phys Geo, I go to sleep. Fast.

Why the ###$ does this happen? Because, even though every 60 year old with white as cocaine hair saying "I had 156 credits in the end of my educational career" has told us we need to study because its the #1 thing, I have an even bigger issue: Money. How the ###$ are we supposed to pay for our education, $7K on a medical bill & housing, utilities and Netflix when NO ONE (And I MEAN NO ONE) can find a job anymore?

Now part of this group is pure lazy jackasses. My partner, Travis, has a Rite Aid application filled out and sitting in his truck. He only filled it out to get his dad off his ass. Nic, out of the kindness of his heart, is paying Travis to work for him, $50 bucks a month, or half of what he earns filing invoices for his mom at her business! And he's not even ######6 trying! And all he spends his share on his gas! THATS IT! Not even lunch or milk or Netflix or nothing! Just ######6 gas! We gave him $20 yesterday to take some stuff up to the dump, like a couple old TVs and some unused paint cans. ALL OF IT, PLUS THE CHANGE LEFT OVER FROM THE DUMP WENT TO ######6 GAS!!! If he had a ######6 job, he could just get the gas and be done with it.

The problem is that no one who runs these places that used to hire kids like Travis and us out of High School are weary of hiring anybody else because were in a ######6 recession! They don't want to hire someone who can't spell "$#%^" right. And frankly, I don't blame them. Most of our ex-classmates in High School? ######6 morons! And only the kids with rich parents who have connections have decent jobs. The lucky few with normal, middle class parents got work at the new Kohls or at a dollar store, but thats it.

Russia Today had an article in 2010 about how the recession will ###$ up kids my age more than anybody else. They were right, and its because everyone is stupid and doesn't trust anybody anymore. The adults think the kids are morons (And I agree with 75% of them, but that still leaves 25% capable of pulling $#%^ off), and the kids are watching congress fight over Cement Pollution bills, thinking "What the ###$! Were ###$ forever! Thanks, assholes!" There is no winner because winners take sides. There is no bi-partisanship ever. Nic wants to try that with Journalism, be as unbiased as possible, well, it won't work. People will always have biases. Republicans hate abortion, Democrats hate anti-unions like the Coke brothers or whoever the new GOP flavor of the day is.

The simpliest reason for youth like us struggling, above all else, is trust. You do not trust us with the forethought needed to understand the tax code, so we don't know what Schedule Y is. We do not trust them with any money at all, so why should we be taxed? Or, in my case, why the ###$ should I care about them at all? The population grew 1 Billion people in 12 years, we need people (I hate saying this) dying or else we'll all be ###$ and be back to the jungle days, killing each other for food. And then the youth will win, cause they can run faster.

What I really want to say is the youth no nothing, and its the elders fault. The best conversations I have with my mother these days is when I ask her about the tax code or how she filed for business or how to get insurance, or what the difference is between rent and a mortgage, or what utilities are covered under what plans, or what wiring does or when I should call a repair guy or how I can get a rebate on my taxes or what not. The 25% who tell the youth what to do and are fair with their information, and explain it thoroughly... they're the good guys. That leaves 75% of the older, white haired know-it-all's to think kids are stupid and will learn about $#%^ on their own. We wont. Not in this economy. A female classmate of mine just killed herself because she couldn't handle her expenses and saw no other way out. If we are to stop the population from growing, if we are to educate people on what is truly going on, if we are to bring down unemployment and if we are to truly save the world, we need the older generation to educate the younger generation on these basic things. Whats a 1040 form? Wait, can you explain that again? Whats Schedule Y? Whats the flat tax? $#%^ like that. Education is the key to everything being open. And until someone develops a machine that transfers info from a genius to a Southerner on meth so he may better himself, the only way we can do this is by talking and helping each other out.

So shut the ###$ up about everything else, quit being a pussy and tell your kids about what the ###$ the IRS does and where the money goes. Thats your first test. If you can be honest and say foreign aid is less than 1% of the taxes instead of "ALL THE ######6 MONEY WE HAVE GOES TO THE WAR/WELFARE WHORES/AFRICA", then you are set to be the next Plato. If you can't... I dunno, run for president. No one will vote for you, anyway.
