# 7 School, Teachers and all that...

Now i'm going to investigate school. Why people hate it and what it's really for.

1. Why do people hate it? No-one likes to be suppressed, picked on or made to feel stupid. But school (well, teachers) do all of this to a young child. We're forced through this for 14 years (4-18). But why do the teachers act like this? Well, lets look at it as if each school is a country, well, it is of a sort, a large community with leaders and stuff like that. Unfortuanatly, the class of government used in schools is, well, totalitarianism. You're headmaster can do anything within the law to keep you diciplined. There is inevitably a sense of favouritism that goes along with this style of order. Lets take Iraq as a comparison. The headmaster is Saddam. The heads of years/subjects etc. are like his sons. The ordinary teachers can be equal to the ministers (Chemical Ali etc.). School is an evil repressive regime. If any one school was a country GWBush would have invaded.

2. What's it really for? They like to say 'Oh you're hear to learn, to prepare you for the big wide world ahead.' Education Secretaries must be able to lie through their teeth just like anyother politician. But we all know that statment isn't entirely true. So what is true? Ok, yes, we learn stuff here. But we have a curriculum. Doesn't this just allow the government to tell people what to learn?! Case Study: Germany now, and Germany under Facism. When Hitler was in power he used education in schools to 'mould' the impressionable childeren into good Nazis. He did this by slagging off the other governments in the curriculum, concentrating on military achievements in history etc... inspiring a sense of patriotism. This was powerful. A hard-line left wing leader found his son returning home from school a fanatical Nazi. Germany now, employ something similar. There isn't freedom of speech on Germany. You aren't allowed to talk about the Nazis, it's an arrestable offence. Therefore they don't learn about them and so hopefully a Nazi regime won't arise in Germany again. This is slightly a more positive use of the power but demonstrates it well.

So, our evil opressive regime is bein used to mould us into good labour voters of the future.

QED

-Lol did that make much sense?

#6 Religion, God and all that (cont.)

Well this post is going to look at human corruption of what religion should be.

What should religion be? Well. I think, religion being silly and pointless, that it requires faith, and faith is believing something you have absolutely no reason to believe, its kinda... you believe it because someone tells you nice stories and it involves some all-powerful, all-caring being. So you believe in that being... yea.

Where do they get the stories? - Answer - A Holy Book. Who wrote the book down? - Answer - A human (probably evil, corrupt and looking for power). Why? - Answer - Because hes evil, corrupt and looking for power.

I think some guys (quite cleverly) thought they might be able to govern peoples lives by writing books which - in the books - they said they were written by a God. They were jokers. They made laws like 'Thou shalt honour thy mother and thy father' i mean... wtf?. Anyway, they're total jokers. Why on earth should people believe a guy who says ' Don't eat pigs, but you can eat any other meat.' It doesn't even have a reason like vegitarianism.

QED

- Yea... sorry religious people... its just how i feel. you Have a Right to Know.

#5 Religion, God and all that...

Im sticking my neck out here. Im going to try to avoid offending anyone unnecissarily (dno how to spell it) but it mid sound pretty damning in parts... Il try to get that out of the way first:

I don't believe in God. I think those who do are really quite silly (there you go i said it). I also think if there concievably could be a God, then it's really quite arrogant. Apparently the world was made so people could worship God. Now that sounds like something that came from the mind of a very, very big-headed being. Note: I am insulting God here, not religious people. Alright.

Why is there no God? As I have mentioned, the human race is basically a big chemical fluke. If the right things happened at the right time (which they did) then science can explain away any doubts you may have about creation. Heaven? Now, let's be honest here. Everyone says heaven is 'Up', but 'Up' is a different direction depending on where you are in the world, 'Up' in london for instance is not the same as 'Up' in Sydney, you are pointing at a totally different point in space. So, if heaven doesn't occupy a space anywhere in the Universe, because theoretically everyone thinks it's everywhere, then it can't really exist.

Christianity and religions like it have a flaw. There are two parts to this flaw. This flaw is a total contradiction in what God is saying, and what God will supposedly do. Apparently, God views all human beings as equals. Then how come there's a Pope? He's regarded as a holy figure who somewhat communicates with God, on about the level as Jesus, Mohammed or Moses. Is he equal? He gets a big-ass funeral in the name of God when other believers don't. The other flaw derives from a similar contradiction. 'God views everyone as equal', also: 'God is omni-benevolent' That means all caring for people who didn't know *cough* If this God guy is so nice, and sees everyone as equals then... everyone should go to the non-existant heaven when they die, technically even the devil should be in heaven if God really does 'love everything equally'.

- Anyway. There will be another post about holy books soon, maybe later tonight but thats enough to be going on with.

#4 Friends, Respect and all of that...

Yep, this one is another 'lets look at life' posts:

Right. I believe friendship is built on trust. I believe trust must have a simple basis of respect and therefore i believe you must respect your true friends.

Now I ask myself two questions, 1. Why? and 2. What is Respect?
1. Why? - Well, i find that relationships really can't work if you can't believe what that person talks about, that's the trust thing. If you can't trust the person - why the hell should they trust/believe you? And trust must be based on respect. Why? - because to trust someone you must regard that person in some sort of positive light, this i derive as respect. To become really good friends, you must respect them more, hold them in a higher regard.

2. What is Respect? - Well i kind of dealt with this in my previous point. But il look at it in more detail. I find i don't respect anyone for just 'being' someone has to make me respect them by doing something. But anyway, i think to respect someone is to see that person as someone who is good at something, see their good side and possibly be in some kind of awe at what they do or say.. i don't know how well im communicating this point, i hope you get the general gist.

Thanks for reading that (if you did)

#3 Suicide, Depression and all that...

Ok No.3 Off the topic of No.1 and 2 but im interested in it so here goes:

There are people in this world who want to die. I can understand that. But why? and how do people let themselves get to the point they can't take living anymore? I can see a few ways a person can slip into that kind of depression. 1.They lose something they care about more than anything, money, wife, etc... e.g Wall Street Crash. 2.They're attention seekers gone wrong. 3.They realise something about the world and its all mental. This is what i want to talk about. Ive realised a few things, they make me sad for a while but obviously some people care more than others.

The world is utterly pointless. As i see it, the human race is a freak accident, a series of coincidence led to our being. Now we are here. So what? some people turn to a God, we must be good in our lives so God will like us and we will go on to a better place, or have a nicer life in the future. Some set themselves big tasks in life, ambition, some succeed some fail. I think the best way to go on in life though is set oneself small tasks, like a ladder, so instead of jumping over the wall, you climb up it. But then there are the ones who see it for what it is. There is no purpous in life. No God, no heaven, until someone proves it. You live, you die. Thats it. So, they can't be bothered, they don't make the most of what they've got and commit suicide.

As you see from this i'm an atheist. I don't believe in God. I would if someone proved it, showed me undeniable proof that God exists, no faith involved. Truth is... I don't have Faith in much.

So there it is, the Universe is big and pointless, life is interesting but pointless.

QED

-Since this is a more emotional issue and not really an argument i will be happy to discuss your views rather than your opinions. (Since no opinions are really made)

#2 Personality, People and all of that...

Ok this is No.2 kinda ties in with No.1 if you think about it:

Right, so i said everything is bound to happen. 'But' i hear you cry, 'people are different and make different descisions because of who they are'. Well what you mean by this, is their personality, so I will explain.

I believe that a human being's personality is dictated by thier experiences in thte first few years of their life, when they are older is gets harder to change but its still possible so i guess its not just limited to then, but i guess you understand.

Why do I think this? Because i've thought about it, and so far, i've found nothing that disproves it, and i see it everyday. I find myself thinking 'and why does she think that?' then i think, ah yes... thats why.

A point i think my challenge this is about genes. But i've thought about that too and i've got an answer for it :). Basically, genes are a loads of balls, but, the way your mum & dad were brought up, have had an effect on them and now they are bringing you up like that because of it. E.g: Say, your dad is an angry person. You have been exposed to the anger for most of your time as a kid, it is an experience and so now you, may be an angry person. I find myself being a perfect example for this. I see my dad about once or twice a year, when i see him now, i find that i am nothing like him in terms of personality, im much more like the people i live with, my mother and my grandma (not that im interested in men mind you, hush chris).

QED

-This view is subject to change though at the moment i believe it quite fiercely, if someone proves beyond resonable doubt that i am wrong though, then i will post my new view :)

#1 Life, Fate and all of that...

Ok, so this is No.1:
I believe in fate. That is, i don't believe that 'some people are just made for eachother' (well... except me and ellie :P) but i believe that everything is just bound to happen. There is nothing that will stop it. Some people don't believe this cause 'they dont like the idea that they aren't in control' well you are, its just, you're definatly going to do something so although it feels like your'e making a choice - you aint. Now Im going to tell you why in a bit more detail.

When i say that, most people do something random to try to prove me wrong, like shouting out 'splurge' or i dont know... anyway, this is a perfect example of why i am right. It can be termed cause and effect i guess.Because they wanted to disprove me, what they did wasn't random was it? They thought about doing it therefore it wasn't random was it.

Now this can get really nitty gritty but i wont let it for the mo, like 'yes but did he think about what he was going to do?' the answer is yes but thats going to take ages to explain. Anyway, in this way i find i can demonstrate anything that happens ever. Potentially some wierdo could, maybe predict the future provided he knew exactly what every human being in the whole world was thinking right that second he might just be able to see what they were going to do in 1 second if he was very very clever.

QED

-Comments welcome, il enjoy seeing what you think of that.

An idea...

Well my friend Chris showed me his blog and i looked at it and thought: what a sad freak. So now i'm going to do the same :D although i may do a little political discussion here mostly it will be me thinking about life in general because i like to argue with people. There will probably be holes and flaws in what i say but don't exploit them please as thats mean and involves losing on my part. So just let me win. Ok there we go (btw im not serious... you can pick at any holes as much as you please - no chris... not those kind of holes... tut)
