I liken the modern college education to the snake in the Garden of Eden, a soothing slithering sort of thing that whispers to the listener that once they consume what it has to offer they have eternal knowledge and don’t need to learn and educate themselves further anymore.

This is of course wrong. Many men with degrees have found themselves to be dumb and ignorant after college, and they’ve found themselves especially hurt by that ignorance.

But,

A college education never hurt anybody who was willing to learn after he got it.

What havoc they’ll be when people figure this out en masse. They’ll start questioning the whole system… I can’t wait.

High school’s a lot like life after it isn’t it?

You’ve got your cool kids, who do anything and everything to look cool, trying to run away from the realization that underneath it all they have little to show. You’ve got your geeks and book carriers, who are the exact opposite, underneath they have it all, but they’re too unsure of themselves to present it well to the public. You’ve got you class presidents, the ones who seem to do everything and more and still have time to party with the cool kids. You’ve also got your drunkards and drug connoisseurs, who live in the moment, and are usually running away from something. But the most tragic of all is that you’ve also got your outcasts, the ones who don’t want to be cool, don’t see a point to doing it all, and who don’t generally excel at what school tells them to excel at. These are the ones we’ve got to nurture in high school, and out. For they can swing either way; they can either rewrite the future of the country drastically for the better, for the worse, or they could just fall out of it and become nobodies.

High school is closer to the core of the American experience than anything else I can think of.

Let’s not let the American experience we lived through in high school go to waste. High school was horrible, let’s make sure everything after isn’t.

When someone shoots another human being dead, they have taken life. This shouldn’t be made lighter by the fact that they did it as part of an army, a group, or better put – a gang.

Killing under the cloak of war is no different than murder.

…The thing I despise about war is that under all its propoganda, and nationalism, and patriotism, it’s blantanly saying that a human being has the right to take another human being’s life.

How is a rationally thinking person supposed to agree with that?

Of 100 unsaved men, 1 will read the Bible; 99 will read the Christian.

If you’re about goodness, don’t speak goodness and definitely don’t put the good book into people’s hands. No, most people don’t read or listen that often. If you’re about goodness and want others to replicate that goodness, then be good. That’s all. Actions speak louder than words (we weren’t wrong about that).

For every person that does good, one who doesn’t notices the error of their ways.

We are human, we are emotional and we are swayed. We react to the days, sometimes positively, and most negatively. Our smiles come and go, our troubles come and go (though it does feel like they stay a while longer), and our loves come and go. The only thing for certain is that our god is here through it all, pushing us along and telling us we can keep walking (even if we think we can’t).

Though our feelings come and go, God’s love for us does not.

And his love gets you far in life, trust me.

A society that will trade a little liberty for a little order will lose both, and deserve neither.

A society in which the politicians band together to diminish everyone’s freedom in order to keep the angry mobs quiet and happy for a while is a society headed towards ruin.

Parenting teaches us this easily. Good parents know that kids shouldn’t get everything they ask for just because they scream and shout. Seems like that’s what we need, more good parents in charge of the country.

And the thing about good parents is they know when their children are just squawking for attention, and when they really need something. They know when the chaos is a sign of their own failure to provide, and when it’s not; and if it’s the former, they know how to change for the better (without losing their liberty and respect as parents).

… As I said, we need more good parents in charge of our politics.

Your goal in life shouldn’t be to quiet down the people who tell you you’re worth crap, that’s terribly hard to keep doing all the time, and nearly impossible. It’s much easier to grow and learn how to ignore them. It’s much easier to focus on what moves you, and the people who are moved by the same things (you know, the people who understand and appreciate your motions).

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.

Seems pretty stupid to say that the youth of today is consumed by drugs and violence, and that they aren’t getting a proper education, when we as a society have made an education one of the most expensive things to acquire. (And at the same time dropped the price of weapons and drugs to new lows.)

The price of an education should be lower than the price of a gun.

Till then, we should stop acting dumb as to why guns have flooded our communities instead of books.

Things won’t change for the better unless we make the right paths easier (cheaper) to walk on than the wrong.
