I need new titles.

Why do people insist on doing stupid shit? I mean is it this innate ability to not think about what they are doing? Seriously, why do we continue to see teachers banging their students? Don't they watch CNN? Don't they read FARK? It seems like every single day at lunch, when I hit up my favorite site for following stupid people there's some article about a teacher rogering a student.

And these girls that get knocked up in High School? My 16yo daughter's HS, just in the past 8 MONTHS has seen 7 babies born to students with 4 more that she knows of on the way. Are we failing to provide the necessary information?

Personally I attribute this to Americans epic lack of discipline. Apparently the morons simply don't think they will get caught, or 'it can't happen to me'. What a joke we've become to the world and to the intellectuals in this country. Don't you see the end result of all this? The fall of Rome will be nothing as compared to the gigantic fall of America. Have we learned nothing from the past? Oh yes, that's right, we're not allowed to teach the past anymore, it's got horrible things in it. Slavery, the KKK, Hitler, the Holocaust, the exploitation of the Native Americans, etc. Let's not upset anyone by talking about the past. Hey, assholes, the past is the past! It is there to learn from. Not to ignore and hope it goes away. As Cicero said: 'Nescire autem quid ante quam natus sis acciderit, id est semper esse puerum' Not to know what happened before one was born is always to be a child.

Even with all the knowledge at our disposal, we are making the same mistakes the Romans made. We're leaning more for dictatorship for we fear freedom. We're collapsing internally from luxury and sloth. We are no longer the disciplined multitudes who went to war to fight Fascism and Nazism. We don't even deserve the right to be called the 'Descendants of the Greatest Generation'. We've failed our fathers by letting our kids be undisciplined. By not wearing their asses out when they get in trouble, instead we put them in 'time out'. We no longer let the punishment fit the crime. In fact we hardly punish at all.

I'm very distraught at the state of this country. The one I call my own. The one I'm proud to be part of. Until now. What would my grandfather and father-in-law say about things now? Both were veterans of WWII, one a vet of Korea as well. It's disgusting how all of you have let that generation down. How you are giving up the very freedom they fought to defend. And only 60 YEARS after they fought and died for it.
