that was a great read but i don't understand how it's a prison.. i'm not from the US so maybe explain to me how it was mind-control?

i agree 1984 is an eye and mind-opener..

heh, that's messed how there's barbed wire (WTF IN THE FIRST PLACE hahahah.. true..) and going inward.. that's fucked.. if you're still at the city, please respond, i'd love to hear more on this..

tooo long

^well...thank you for adding such an intelligent thought to the conversation.

wow...it is said that all geniuses were a little bit crazy, and (in all respect) i think your proof. i think you need to be if you're going to see outside of the box, especially as far as you have.

that barbed wire thing is fucked up and im glad its not like that around here but its frightening that it is even allowed.

and i guess a simple explination for all that would be that someone who sees through the cover of the public school system (at least where you went) isn't really a desireable person. someone who can open everyone's eyes to corruption and all that stuff certainly wouldn't be high on the list of people for the person(s) who are running all that.

so, write that biography, continue fighting the system and get the word out there.

That was great insight into how fucked up the whole system can be.

Nearing the last few years of my secondary school, we got a new head teacher.
He decided the school needed major improvements - this meant building 8 ft security fences round the school perimeter, installing about 15 cctv cameras, and making all the gates to the school electro magnetically operated. Being in school felt like being locked in some strange prison every week, the only privileges we got was be able to leave during lunch time, which i remember as the best times of being at school.

You really do start to realise how much bullshit they teach you aswell, compulsory learning or stuff youll never need to know, higher maths! Fucking waste of time. I hated all those academic subjects, and now that im in 6th form college i get to do 3 subjects of my choice, Art, Photography, and Geography (only because you have to do 3 to stay in the college). I love it so much more now, and your basically free to do what you want.

Thanks for the read, and hope you come back to the city one day.

I just recently thought about this but you reemember when you take a government issued test and you wite stuff down and it doesnt count in your grade but they pick it up anyway.WTF are they trying to do?

[toker2021]

That's all school is; either you're a faceless, nameless prick who swallows all their bullshit propaganda without complaining at all about it, or you're the one who they feel they have to hammer all of their retarded policies into.

heh, once, during "red ribbon week", which started here as anti-alcohol but slowly and methodically spread to pot, we had this presentation in the auditorium. They had about 11-12 cops in there all talking about their "life stories", and how they were proud that they could feel safe for their kids at night knowing that they had locked up some of the most worthless and dangerous people on the earth (meaning people who smoke pot). So, they ask, "any questions"? And I raise my hand and ask "Yes, how would you explain, to the best of your ability, the INABILITY of the drug war to curb the illegal consumption of marijuana, and, if so, why do we spend BILLIONS of dollars a year doing so. Wouldn't this money be better spent treating illnesses, feeding the homeless, and housing the destitute, instead of enforcing some sort of crackpot lie about the dangers of cannabis?"

So i spent some hours afterwards in the principals office...

here's my take: first off, you got treated the way you did because you couldn't behave within the guidelines laid before you by the school (which is an institution in sociological terms). High school's bad, but it's probably the easiest your life is going to get. The reason why they try to teach things like upper math and Latin is not because you will need it in your life, but because your performance (grades) is a measure of the amount of work you are willing to put into something.

you don't need to be smart to succeed in school, you just need to truly work hard at it. you need the right attitude, always thinking about the next step in your life, everything. The grades you receive in high school are merely a foundation for the rest of your life -- they are equipping you with the skills and work ethic you'll need to survive out in the real world. In high school, you learn to interact with your peers and how to handle situations with people that you don't like.

Unfortunately, even some people my age in college still don't get it.. it's all just busywork to them, and they're too shortsighted to start planning for a future. but whatever, less competition for the rest of us, right?


EDIT: also this isn't coming from some goody two-shoes who got straight A's through school. I've been through the same situations as you; i was arrested twice in my high school years and spent some time in a psychiatric hospital. I've gotten my life back on track fortunately... holding a 25 hr/week job down, conquering various anxieties, and attending class (also getting A's and B's now). I'm interested in getting into a pre-law program for my junior and senior years and hopefully attending graduate school for a law degree

I have to say that i agree and disagree with alot of whats being said...

For one, referring to teachers as mind control "agents" is a sign that you might be paranoid. I dont really think any of my current teachers are smart enough to be able to effectively use any form of mind control.

It's true though, in public schools there are alot of lies that are told as part of the curriculum. Listening to what they have to say in health class about marijuana really pisses me off, but it's ultimately up to the individiual to be able to read between the bullshit and figure out for themself what sounds like propaganda or lies.

best read in a while man

[special_zed]

Damn man your a smart guy, youve gotta write a book on this someday, people love to read that kind of stuff.
And also you said you smoked weed throughout your highschool years? If so that sure blows away the whole "stupid stoner" point of view.

[thekingofregs]

what part of FLA did you go to school in, i can relate to a lot of that when i was in middle school in 7th and 8th grade everyday b4 school i got called into the office and sat there for 4 hours waiting with a bso and on more than one occasion he searched my bag w.o. warning, then i had two counselors talk some bullshit into my head, what i didnt understand and now i do is why my parents were never informed this was going on, i didnt even want to tell my pops cause i was afraid he would bust in there and probably fuck everyone up[russian temper=ppl die] i didnt get the best grades but i finished all my work and tests in less than 10 minutes no matter how long it was without hardly any effort, when we took the fcats i scored 99 reading, 99 math 3 years in a row the other year[6th grade] was a 98 in math and a 99 i n reading, i guess they wanted to know why i did so well on testing but didnt give a fuck about school, and i still dont, i hardly give any effort and im already a year ahead of where im supposed to be which = college early which = a lot which = but yea i had to deal with bullshit and i know it impacted me pyscologically, at the time it made me feel guilty[of something that i couldnt even conceive what i had done, which was fukin go to school and deal with good government bullshit.] But when you talk about mind control, i can also relate in the sense that i have amazing mind control, its fuckin freaky though lol, if im high i can convince myself im not[when needed, cops, and such...] if im drunk i can convince myself to sober up, and then when im done sobering up i can convince myself im high again, its mad freaky but im glad i can do it. Call me crazy but i was goin to sleep just last week and i was kinda meditating and i was thinkin about psilocybin and how its released in the brain and i was just sittin there deeply meditating and i went into a trance, opened my eyes and everything looked like a dream for about an hour, it was fucking ill. And my friends, that is some amazing mind control, and im so glad im blessed with it.

hahaha, i don't think it's really like that buddy...
