Top Ranking CIA Operatives Admit Al-qaeda Is a Complete Fabrication | polidics.com

The title says it all on this one. 9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB!!!

Should No Child Left Behind Act be reauthorized? - NO / We need a new definition of accountability

Should No Child Left Behind Act be reauthorized?
Let me think... um.... NO!!!
Talk to some teachers and see if they don't tell you that the kids they teach are any better off. They can't teach anything of use in their lives because they have to teach shit for the standardized tests.
But, who is to really blame if kids don't learn?
Is it the teachers? Well, sometimes. I had some teachers growing up that spoke ebonics and couldn't speak understandable English. I had some teachers that their grammar was worse than mine... AND THEY WERE MY TEACHERS! I had some teachers that didn't know their subjects very well. I had some that knew the subjects but simply had no talent for teaching. I think teacher testing and interviews should weed out most of that.
Is it the parents? Well, if you wonder why children can't speak properly, it is usually the parents. If the kids can't think for themselves, it is usually the parents. Lazy parents just keep the kid alive until they go to school and then expect the school to do the rest and don't follow through with homework or anything at home. So, it's partially the parents.
Is it the kids? I would say a good part of the problem is the kids. Did the people who came up with this law even take into consideration that maybe, just maybe, that some kids just don't give a shit? I mean, when I was a kid I didn't give a shit. I really didn't. I hated school. All I wanted to achieve was to get to the next grade, no matter how close of a call it was. So, do you think any amount of testing would make me do better in school? Fuck no! It made me hate school worse. It was bad enough when I was in grade school in the 80's. I can't imagine it now. Those poor kids. They aren't being taught anything but the standardized tests, then they have to take the tests which turns them off even more, then people expect them to be well educated and have the ability to think? What the fuck are those lawmakers thinking? They haven't been in grade school since the fucking 60's and they think they can know how to make school laws without even studying what parents and children think!

Repeal the NCLB Act and stop all that unnecessary standardized testing and let the fucking teachers do their jobs! We're raising a generation of kids that don't know how to think!

I call this the snowball-lie. A single lie turns into this giant mess.
First on the lie list was 9/11. A couple of hours after the attacks the gov said that Bin-laden did it. Anybody who has lived here for more than a day knows that the government does not work that fast... EVER. They had no time to analyze anything or collect evidence of any kind in that short amount of time. So, beyond all of the other evidence that our government created 9/11, Bin-laden didn't do it. That brings us to...

Bin-laden has worked for the CIA for YEARS. He has been paid by the CIA since the 80's to start trouble where they want and be their whipping-boy. That's not a hypothesis. It is fact. There are many news stories from reputable news agencies that have showed that he was paid by the CIA more than once.

Now, having established that, what does that have to do with the repubs and scaring people?
9/11 was used to scare the US citizens to gain public support for Bush invading Iraq. Bush had been planning to invade Iraq from his first month in office - January 2001... eight months before 9/11. That was told by more than one of his former officials. In order to keep people afraid enough to support the war and giving up our freedoms, we have been put under this bombardment of fear for seven years.

Now, all of these repubs running for president are playing the terror card to scare you into voting for them.

Terrorism is defined to be acts that aim to cause change in government or people's lives by using fear. If that's the case, the "terrorists" have won. Our government has reacted to the attacks in a manner that terrorists would want. They have made the nation afraid. They have altered our daily lives beyond recognition. They have taken away our freedoms. They have ruined our economy. But remember the point above: this was done to us by our own government in the first place.

So what does that lead us to? THERE IS NOTHING TO BE AFRAID OF. There is no boogy-man out there trying to get us. To put this statistically, you have a better chance of dying in your car than dying in a "terrorist" attack. Your chance of dying in a terrorist attack is still statistically ZERO. More people die in car wrecks EACH YEAR than all people in all "terrorist" attacks in history combined! Now, if you want to stop massive amounts of people dying, WORK ON AUTOMOBILE SAFETY. There is no way to be safe from other people. We can't be safe from our own government. I personally think there is sufficient evidence to prove that all terrorist attacks on US soil were carried out or were made to happen by our own government. The sinking of the Lusitania, Pearl Harbor, Gulf of Tonkin, the first WTC bombing in the early 90's, Oklahoma City bombing, and 9/11(all being the major ones) were all caused by our own government. I think that the evidence available to people is sufficient to say that.

So, am I afraid of some dusty muslims running around in caves and the deserts of the middle east that the repubs are telling us are out to get us? Nope. I'm not sure that such a big threat even exists. A few people have said Bin-laden has been dead since 2002. There is also a hypothesis that Al-Qaeda is simply a made up organization that the governments use to blame shit on. That would make sense and explain many things.
