It is truth?:
1) Schoolgirls at the American school with pride tell about a considerable quantity of the used partners in a current of summer.
2) All Americans: homosexuals and lesbians.
we wouldnt be "free" to go shopping everyday if we had terrorist blowing up the shops everyday they both go hand in hand.
I was expecting you to say this. No, they don't. There are two different words because they are two different concepts. 'Freedom to shop' is just one of a zillion civil liberties one may or may not have, but what is meant here is 'safety to shop'. You can praise the troops all you want for defending our safety, and you'll be correct. They aren't defending our freedom in the general sense at all. That's just patriotic rhetoric based on imprecise thinking, fairly typical of the populace at large in this age of weakened critical thinking.

I'm not trying to say anything. I'm saying that our troops today aren't defending freedom. They're defending safety. It's the third time I have said it.

The incredible dumbing down of the education system continues to wreak havoc. ....
I don't feel that most schools can compete with the education that children get from the popular culture of TV, videos, digital games and the myriad of little screen worlds they are absorbed in. And while schools get much criticism from parents, most of the parents I see do nothing whatsoever to guide their childrens' development away from the ephemera of consumerism - in large measure because so many parents are thoroughly caught up in it themselves. School-bashing gets these parents off the hook....and it's as weak an excuse as "The dog ate my homework."
While your interest and attitude sounds thoroughly dedicated and laudable - if not downright valient, I truly feel you are part of a very, very small minority
The best of schools are simply shoveling **** against the tide. Greed, aggression and delusion have already won the day.
What the consumer culture celebrates is a lifetime of sucking on a sugar teat, pleasuring oneself with an ever-proliferating, constantly obsolescing endless supply of entertainment and self-glorification.
What did Pogo say? "We have met the enemy, and he is us."
And, yes, I think Huxley had a far better insight into what this meant than Orwell.
I think America is cranking out a bunch of cell phone addicted, what have you done for me lately, facebook twitting, McDonalds eating, pudgy, lazy spoiled brats.
Many Americans haven't "earned this".
