>challenging young people to mow 50 yards for free
Just what we always needed. Moar child slave-labor… How bout convincing the greedy fuckers who make billions of dollars off poisoning and raping the land these kids are forced to live in to actually pay their fair share of taxes so the poor folks who do all the work to support them can, for once, make a decent enough wage to provide for themselves…
No that will never work. So, I guess child-slave-labor it is. . .
>Better than kids growing up and sitting out on the corner dealing drugs or doing drugs so you can fuck off with that shit
NO. See that was EXACTLY my point. If you PROPERLY educate people, while going after the greedy fuckers who took all the money before the kids have a chance to make it, then perhaps we wouldn't be in this mess to begin with.
Last I fucking checked, schools cost a shit-ton of money. Also, the main reason why people sell drugs, is because they don't have any legit choice to make any money to even "educate" themselves to begin with.
Don't tell me to fuck off on this one. Because I was that kid going around the neighborhood doing a bunch of favors for any and all people I knew. You know what it got me? Fucked over by a bunch of people in life. . . I have no money. Despite being very intelligent, I have no "formal" college education. Because over half the "teachers" I encountered in the "community" college knew less about what they were teaching than I did back in fifth grade. And I've seen a decent number of "elite" university professors that don't know two-shits from their own piss, but they'll make six-figure salaries to "teach" kids straight bull shit.
The world doesn't run on unicorns and rainbows like you envision it does. I'm sorry. By the way, doctors and pharmacists are the REAL drug dealers, and just like the people on the streets, they're doing what they do so they can "get money". See Opiate "epidemic" before you try preaching to me about "drug dealers". "Cause I've had moar shit taken from me from people on prescription medications than any street drug ever caused. And the psychological effects from opium has been known for centuries. It's just everyone was too busy getting money and blindly trusting the system to care.
