I think the green movement and teens go hand in hand now... further example.

When I was in school, Earth was the third planet from the Sun... now in school it's "mother". :rolleyes:

So have I. But my point is this: the social conditioning kids today endure at school isn't
what we went through.

When I went to school I naturally had some PC thinking indoctrinated into me but I wasn't going
to pass or fail due to atttitude alone. Hypothetically speaking, in school I thought the holocaust was
horseshit in history class, I could still pass the test if I gave the correct answers and my feelings on
the matter didn't count. We were tested on factual knowledge, not what you thought about it.
Today with outcome based education, you pass or fail depending on how PC your FEELINGS are.

Just like Pavlov's dog, thought processes are changed and conditioning takes place...for a reward.

For example, if I were to walk up to the average teen in the public schooling system and tell them straight
out that the very classes they attend indoctrinate them 5 days a week for 12 or more years of their life,
they'd be in complete denial of what we both know is true.

It's like telling someone in a cult their stuck in a cult.... it doesn't work.

Definitely what they go through is different that what we went through, but the programming can still be broken. The teens I've been speaking about has been within the past year. Some of them graduate high school this year. Before I had contact and started talking to them, I was pretty cynical about the future and seeing how these kids reacted to a little weed, a good dose of the truth and rational conversation really gave me back some of my hope.

I think they are too hard on teens these days, I guess we would have been locked away when I was young. We heard rumors of computers and in middle school, or just a little before, I remember they toild us if we brought a calculator, we failed. Now these were big machines and most couldn't afford them, actually only a few could. We were taught to critically think... odd these days. We had a history teacher that taught conspiracies, or truth, as it was called in those days.

These days, they just want little expressionless, emotionless, thoughtless dolls setting in the classroom. The Zero tollerance, now who thought that up??? My 17 year old told me today a girl was kicked out for the year for a joint, not that I advocate drugs but really, there are far worse things she could have been doing. After school, paddling or 3 day suspension is the worse that should have been done, IMHO. Or is the key word in that statement. Let me guess, she will end up in a private owned instution and drugged with "legal" drugs.

I read this article where now they are sending drug addicts to jail instead of rehab. If you google you could find it, it is about less than a week old.

Here in the south, thats about the same thing. All kinds of benefits, they get tagged, worked free, and more, the fun just keeps going. It just ain't right to toss a kid out for 1 small mistake, IMHO. Charlie Manson should have showed them that much.

'waking up teens, how would you wake up teens?'

Depends what teens your on about, there are a hell of a lot of teens fully awake out there now.
Not every teen is a sleeping numbskull totally clueless.
Theres a great many who pretend they dont know much, part of the cloak:)

Thanks for the reply, MMG

Isn't anyone else going to answer this question ???
I am most interested in your opinions.

Caution - Burn out alert

weed addition is as real as tobacco addiction or any other addiction.
as fun it may be - it can also stunt your mental and emotional growth. Especially if used daily over many years.

THIS OFTEN TURNS OUT TO BE WHAT HAPPENS. if and when possible

I know people who have used at least g/day for over 20 yrs, and believe it or not - they are not one bit smarter or more enlightened because of it !!!
if fact in appears to be true that cells are turning to gray matter. - not :cool:

plus many wasted hours/days sitting around waiting for you refill to come through and risk of prosecution.
No one expects addiction to occur - but if often does.
- forewarned

I gotta say, teens are easier to wake up than middle age. Older people know something is going on, but the 30-50 range, middle class seems the worse, except in industrial areas.

mexika · 05-22-2008, 07:24 AM

once woken...maybe there will be another world - People will choose whether to live with the bush regime of terrorists or become and transform something that can be more positive. Maybe become a master of something and transform it into something not identified with greed, and all the trash the damn elites see as cattle for their profit.

I guess....

Hopefully this generation will do better than mine. We said years ago, we would change the world and we did. We really screwed it up.

KIDS AND youth are the future. But what is happening right now, is a direct attack by the bush nazis against education, the future of youth, your future because they are the ones will put tax money to take care of you when you get older...destroy the education, the youth and their future and you and the elderly is also destroyed.

The bush administration is a fukn satanic beast - corrupt up up into their ass where they can't make sense of it either....they are destroying all fabrics of society, nature, and the future of all people within the matrix. They destroy our nature, the youth as dumb down, then this mothers of bacteria will come for our ass to enslave us to produce water, labor, or anything else they deemed necessary for their survival. Destroy the planet, you destroy everything, social, future, agriculture, everything......we have seen the enemy and it is our ignorance and the mass media propaganda and those who deceive us using a lilly pop like a kid whose innocence is being violated...

destroy our planet and you destroy a life force which sustains all people - we are in a collision path to a very nasty nightmare based on greed, power, and utter shameless lies...

hilly7 · 05-23-2008, 05:43 AM

As the way it stands right now, the ones in power will remain there. Our children don't stand a hope unless both they and us wake up, turn off the TV and other distractions and fight back, by whatever means neccessary. The day it is too late will be the day we say it is too late.

rsol · 05-23-2008, 02:02 PM

waking teens is just like any other "type"

one word, conversation.....

yeti · 05-23-2008, 07:26 PM

It can be easy or hard, depending on their attitude towards school.

Just ask them if they believe everything in the textbooks. If they say yes, you can point out a few examples of where textbooks lie. If they don't want to hear it, walk away.

If they believe school is crap, it's just a matter of steering them to a few weeb sites and videos...
