i cant help but post this its a minor debate i was having with an american (admitedly 13 years old but by that ages you should learn to analise things rationaly) the second is a girl younger than him from australia
Out of curiosity, is there any point what so ever to this thread? Like literally, couldn't you have put this in free thoughts and said "so today I met a dumb american 13 year old girl on the internet"???
i could have but i was more making the point that THIS is what your children are growing up as is this what you want???? is this RIGHT??? this kid will VOTE
Maybe not. Perhaps she will become a crack whore and die at 17. After all, this is America... the land of boundless opportunities! :m: Peace.
Okey-dokey. I'll go find a kid from Canada who's a complete moron. That'll prove that Canada's raising useless kids. Then an Australian. Then a Brit. Then a... Saying you met one idiot 13 year old (by the way, almost no one in North America by the age of 13 knows politics well. Literally, I think I remember 3-4 in my junior high) proves about, well, nothing what so ever. By the way, thank you goofy!
as i said this kid wanted to debate politics and the difference is i wasnt LOOKING for those 2 they both fell in my lap so to speak and from primary school they start to teach you to tare apart a piece of writing to see the MEANING
He wanted to debate politics??? You said (of course, I'll write in proper english); 'it's politics, I doubt you'd be interested' and he said; 'maybe' and you take that to mean that he is interested in politics??
I believe Asguard posts things like this to garner support for his opinions, Tyler. Obviously debating politics with 13-year olds upsets him and he needs some moral support from like minded individuals on this forum.
right sure i dont NEED surport for my opinions i open a PAPER and i have all the surport i need i live in a FREE country not a dictatorship like the US i was mearly pointing out the state of the education ur youth are getting if that was the sum of what i wrote in an essay i would have failed year 7
maybe your answers within this dialogue could be educational. for example..... terrorism: the systematic use of terror (a state of intense fear)especially as a means of coercion; violence (as bombing) committed by groups in order to intimidate a population or government into granting their demands. (from www.m-w.com found under both "terrorism" and "terror") then a follow up question may be useful...... "which governments may be considered guilty of this?" seeing this exchange as primarily a reflection of a poor educational system reflects your own shortcomings, yoda. you have a willing and curious "student." this discussion provides you an excellent opportunity to educate. all you really need is a little time, and a whole lot of patience.
Oh? In your year 7 they would give you good marks for commenting on "the state of the education (America's) youth are getting" based on a single thirteen year old you meet on the internet? Wow, in my school they'd have dropped the paper and laughed. Yes, Anthony, you keep posting your conversations with your internet buddies. And you keep right on thinking that anyone here actually gives a damn.
tyler look down you will see the root of ALL the evils of the world if you like it that way good for you I DONT i dont like wondering when we will all die of radiation posioning
Anthony, you have shown nothing, proven nothing and done nothing all in one waste of a thread. I personally would say this is about as good a thread to shut down as any. Out of curiosity, I was wondering if you would like to back up a statement of yours. You're a mod, right Anthony? Ethics and Justive forum, I believe? And you are well aware of the agreement we all made with Sciforums when joining? The one that says we won't use sexual or racial comments and such and that little bit about following the law. You know what's a law, Anthony? Libel. Now, Anthony, I'd like like to quote you; "i live in a FREE country not a dictatorship like the US" The United States of America is a dictatorship?? ("A state or government under dictatorial rule." and a dictator is..."An absolute ruler". Basically, 'absolute ruler' means that the ruler is in power without question, with no election...). Why Anthony, that's news to me! And if it weren't true, why, one could say it's libel! So Anthony, my dear, dear friend; kindly show me how America is under a dictatorship or face the fact that you clearly broke a rule of sciforums (and rather unprovoked at that).
a) i have broken no law B) a democrasy is where the goverment is elected by the people rather than cause i have the money to get the courts to stop people counting the LEGITAMITE votes C) in a democrasy people are alowed to speak there minds WITHOUT being thrown in jail
so basically under australian law unless i say untrue things about an INDERVIDUAL (ie defimation) i can say whatever i like
"a) i have broken no law" Libel is illegal. "B) a democrasy is where the goverment is elected by the people rather than cause i have the money to get the courts to stop people counting the LEGITAMITE votes" I love how you have really no idea what you're talking about. You do know Bush actually won within all laws, eh? "C) in a democrasy people are alowed to speak there minds WITHOUT being thrown in jail" Who was thrown in jail for speaking their minds? And furthermore, you're actually quite wrong. The word "democracy" does not in the least have anything to do with the right to free speech. Grab one of those big books with the word meanings in them Anthony and look up "democracy" and you'll see what I mean.
