I have to put blame on the parents that take care of every life problem that these kids run into. I think the term is ( helecopter mom ) If parents are always there helping there kids out even for the smaller things to even the point of writing their resume and sending out for them, they are never going to learn for themselves. We have become a way overprotective society and our kids are suffering.
i missed it too! what happened lolQuote:

I was thinking, I've one more thing to say!
Rebgirl! You roc! When you let someone get to you, that you spend very much time thinking of them: "YOU ARE LETTING THEM LIVE RENT FREE IN YOUR HEAD!" I have started refusing to do that, but I can't help it at times! Rent ain't free anywhere!
You had a wonderful upbringing, everyone that has had the pleasure of reading your threads knows that and most likely would like to have been as lucky. You have the right attitude and decided the best action possible.
It isn't like you can tell her to stick her IPOD back in and shut up! Or grow up! Hope it gets better. Once, they start getting worried about grades, their attitudes may change, that is, if the teacher isn't on the 'no child left behind' mind set! PR:jointsmile:
p.s.: John will find out!!
ignorance is bliss if only i could be so blind, but im not and it bothers me, but it is not new or getting worse. people have been stupid since day one i cant have a serious talk with anyone its usually to deep for them. and im the gangster type when u look at me u might think im just some idiot but i maintain a 3.0 full time work and school with an I.Q. between 140-150 depending on the test, lifestyle has nothing to do with intelligence and i pack up 30 minutes b4 class ends cauase the prof has to explain things over and over i dont even know why i go. oh im an engineering major if that makes a diff .
remember laughter isnt just because something is funny its also disguises nervousness and uncertainty.
as far as the news u must realize their stories preach thier agenda in order to conform your thoughts f#$% the media as far as imn concerned its all lies
a final thought, reb ur smart and smokin hot so its going to be hard for you cause u probly get thrown into that dingy hot chick catagory like me into the idiot gangbanger cat. but whatever, the ones who have the oppurtunity to get to know the real you are lucky especially jake man i wish i could find a hot girl that could talk about something besides the f!@#$#@ hills or A.I.
just know that most of the bee hive is mindless insignificant worker bees the world is ur bee hive and ur more than just a worker.
k sooooooo i dont watch the news, simply because it gets me down. i dont want to watch tv and feel depressed about our economy, society and humanity!
i watch tv for entertainment, but am aware of the situations that concern me, that i have taken the time to learn about.
Also, i LOVE music, partying, and just letting loose, i'm 22, 3rd year college (and love school by the way.... LOOOOOVE school!) but still have the decency to not be a deuce or consider myself and idiot - but the people in my program that think they're all high and mighty and really couldn't tell the different between their ass and a hole in the ground.
also.....
you know what u gotta do when life gets you down...?
..... just keep smokin, just keep smokin, just keep smooookin smookin smokin! :hippy:
lighten up, smile, love today for today and get lost in the moment!
The resonses I am gettkng are amazing. Keep it up guys and gals. You all give great advice!Quote:

If that is the attitude at your college, you need a more professional college. I never hear anything of the sort at my Uni. It's quite serious on campus, although admittedly there are annual riots surrounding certain sports rivalries. You just gotta find more smart people to hang out with, and ignore the fools, who will only bring you down. If you can't find any, look elsewhere. They DO exist. They just tend to be quieter than the wannabe gangster types, who are like peacocks- nice plumage, but a VERY small brain when compared to overall body mass.
^
That's the sort of advice that I'm taking.
But I don't think it's my college thats the problem so much. It's only in one out of four of my classes. Everywhere else seems to be okay. The politics club I'm in now is providing me with a lot of fun and educational experiences. And the people are very nice. Kinda more "pure" than I am, when they found out my mission of showing the Senators and politicians we meet during the rallies and such info on Medical marijuana and then give them my 2 cents about pot laws they looked at me like I was insane.
I'm actually thinking of forming a group "Conservatives for MMJ" or something similar.Quote:

Just sit quitely in the corner with the people you know and trust ignore them all and don't turn your back on them.
In my Opinion its similair to Racism but Discriminating by current fad. hence everyone trying to become one of these "gangsta's" so they have friends.
i am interested to see if anyone agress with the bold statement though or am i crazy?
Definition of cliquey-ness. Ostracism of the Uncool.
one of the greatest challenges for me was understanding that people dont think the same way i do, some people just dont get it most have to really try and i do it with ease. its not that persons fault theyre like they are. for ijnstance some class mates take the full two weeks to right a paper study hard and barley c their way through. i wait till the day b4 and get an a or b. i think its because my mother never set me down, everything she did iwas a part of, i did the same with my daughtre and it shows. fortunetly we had great parents who loved us enough to spend that extra time,(earlier i had read somthing u said about ur father) and i hope ud do the same with ur children.
just know that when people hate or try to bring u down, its because ur diong it right. its not just the gangsta type when your smart and successful everybody hates if its not on your style it will be on something else they can alienate u with. daily personal politics to one up the next man in the name of capitalism. just let them hate and stay on track. at the same time dont hate back try to understand maybe her was busy picking up a crack pipe instead of her, you never know.
hey stinky always love your insights you seem really cool
phatsesh, I like your posts too, and this one is no let-down! I think that your points about being included in family activities leading to being more inclusive towards others, and the capitalist one-up-man-ship are right on target. Here Stateside we have the expression 'keeping up with the Joneses' which is all about the need to be accepted by what material wealth/image you display rather than on your substance.
Working on your substance is a life-long project, and best of all, it's FREE, and immaterial, so no one can make you pay for it, or take it from you.
This has been a fun thread to read. The only thing i don't agree with is
"Douches and Idiots: AKA Why is it "cool" to be an idiot?"
Name calling when trying to make a point about ignorant or uneducated people is something called Irony.
I got a laugh out of it.
I don't think anyone is better than anyone else. Some it just takes longer to evolve into their true selves. So why not try and find a sly way to educate and help them out.
My motto is Educate THEN Ignore. simply ignoring is not enough:thumbsup:
This single handedly defines drug education in America. Educate the masses with a majority of lies, then ignore them when they realize you were lying and start trying to change it. :DQuote:

u could use "majority of people" instead of everyone, there are at least 2 of us college goers just here on the forum who i know of who are not among the crowd but from the generation.Quote:

Gangsta has its own level and "respect" if u r defining it right. lol, wanksta on the other hand is going to show tis wankstaness very very soon. u gotta know the difference...
and yes i agree, its sort of a discrimination. but look @ me, I was with many of these wankstas and gangstas back in the old days, i just said to myself "screw them" i rather be alone than popular and idiot or be associated with such people, my life aint gonna be directed by no damn fad or popular opinion! it has to make sense to me and at some point i figured this whole thing has not been making sense from day1 and i had just ignored it.
so dont be too pessimistic, there are some wise people who will never fall into the category and there will some people like me who will be converts:D
Dabud i hear what your sayin but Educating with lies is a oxymoron. I know you know this. I mean educate them in finding their true self which cannot be a lie.
Imam congrats for pulling out of the wanksta clan!:thumbsup:
No I get you, I just meant it as an aside, lol. I don't have much else thats beneficial for this thread :jointsmile:Quote:

Thats just how it is though, but all these people never usually amount to anything, When they grow up they will realise they have messed up when its too late to go back. they just need to wake up and smell the coffee! ...
oh and HI REBGIRL REMEMBER ME? :D
Yay! CC is back!!!
Of course I remember you. I thought you fell off the planet!
Greed, ignorance, self-indulgence and materialism the new principles to aspire to.
I like bird watching, fishing, typography and classical music. I would probably qualify as a fag to these people :). To illustrate how far generation y is sinking listen to mr soulja boy 'all f's put some d's on it bitch'.
At this rate give it 100 years and the movie Idiocracy will come true.
i'd say it's more the college youre going to than anything. i'm not at harvard by any means but no one would get laughed at for watching the news or taking an interest in anything.Quote:

in comparison u gotta see somewhere like UHD from close... u will laugh at it as a uni... , full of wanksta crowd and low performing students who could not go anywhere else.
so are many other colleges and unis around the nation in similar situation more or less.
That's what it's like here... except in the botany department!!!! It's my major and is filled with some of the most intelligent cats I've ever met. But it has its idiots as well.Quote:

That's all.
Don't worry about the idiots. One of the worst things you can do is let their issues affect you. Just keep doing what you love to do, and the morons will disappear in time. If they manage to stick around, then they're not as dumb as you think...
i am sick and tired of this constant persecution and discrimination
I may be an idiot douchebag but goddamnit i cry and bleed too
Well, it makes you look a helluva lot more educated and coherent right? When I read the title I immediately thought of self promoters, which ties into the douche idiot part. People will do anything to one up you and all you can do is laugh inside, knowing at the end of the day you do a supposedly harmful drug and you still have tons more sense than people paying for an education, who dont want to be educated.
With all due respect, you seem to make a lot of generalisations; how people are raised has, believe it or not, very little impact on the person that they become.Quote:
It's just that I'm so glad my parents raised me to read, watch the news and be involved with things that are educational.
I wish more people were raised with those priorities.
I was brought up on a massive council estate in an awful neighbourhood. The schools were shockingly bad and my dad left when I was young. My mum, not being very academic herself, never really bothered getting involved with my school life.
Consequently, because I was lead by example, being young, I did badly in primary and high school.
It was only in the past few years that I realised that whilst being ignorant is all well and good, (ignorance is bliss etc!) you're only pulling the wool over your own eyes. Which is the equivilent of closing your eyes because you dislike what you are seeing right in front of you.
So I guess my point is that parents only really have an impact on you when you are young and can only live by set examples.
Some of the worlds greatest entrepreneurs left school with nothing...:thumbsup:

Mostly these kinds of things are called communes, but truly, they are sovereign communities.

I think people should be free to do what they want and be who they want, as long as they respect and not harm others.
Sadly if you live in this nation you have to play the game, so if you're forced to you might as well be as educated about the system as possible! The other alternative, of course, is to start a cannabis.com commune somewhere :rastasmoke::hippy:Quote:

I'm surprised every time I hear someone saying something positive about Obama even though his campaign has taken money from Russia, North Korea, and even Al-Qaeda. People just don't seem to take the initiative to find out anything that is going on in the world today.
I agree, maybe I jumped the gun on that one. People here the word "change", and I agree we do need change, our conservative government has always taken forever to change anything. I just think people should think beyond tomorrow. I mean, what happens if we let someone who is supported by terrorist organizations assume the most powerful position in the world? (and yes, the U.S. President is the most powerful person in the world, BBC did a special about what the next U.S. President should know about science, and they stated a lot of the ways he is the most powerful person. I think it was call Horizon: Science for the Next President, or something similar.) I don't really want to find out.Quote:
