<p>First off, I don't have an inferiority complex. I get a good feeling from accomplishing things I know not everyone can do. It's not about feeling superior than someone else, it's about being able to take pride in what I've done and knowing my hard work has paid off. It's merely for my own satisfaction. Yes, I want people to know I worked hard, but I do this more for myself than anything else. As for what you said in your previous post...</p>

With everyone having a similar ideology, their will be no wars.

<p>For this to happen, you would have to brainwash every person in the world. There would be no free will or original thought. Everyone would be the same, everyone would think the same thing, and there would be no individuals, just one giant mind. I think this would be very boring and I seriously doubt you're a socialist. More like a communist. I agree with what gprime said.</p>
<p>All people respect each other; everyone is equally worthy; no difference based upon race, religion, etc; everyone takes care of and considers the environment; no sweat shops; high pay for all employees, etc. </p>
<p>Now, is it that bad. Are those concepts listed above bad?</p>
<p>NO, but we do not follow them. US brutally kills the people of the Middle East, US funded Israel brutally suppresses Palestine; US companies have sweatshops all over the world; Coke hires paramilitaries to kill union workers.</p>
<p>Our "great" education system and government has not helped much, has it?</p>
<p>I agree in equality and want the law to reflect it. But I don't want laws forcing others to be tolerant. As a minority, I want somebody to have the right to discriminate against me.</p>
<p>I am for respecting the evironment within reason. But you have to spell out what you mean. For example, something like nature preserves or species protection is not reasonable. Nor is calling for stricter governmental enforcement of most standards, ranging from fuel efficiency to personal carbon output. When the choice is between progress and preserving nature, the choice should be clear. You can respect nature without being a radical leftist.</p>
<p>The term sweat shop is a misnomer. People work their of their own free will, and recieve pay for it. This pay is often well above the average of their home nations. In other words, everybody benefits from a sweat shop. I am opposed to slavery, but the two are not the same, and the terms cannot be used interchangably.</p>
<p>High pay for all doesn't work. All that does is devalue the currency to the point where it no longer works. There must be a gap in earning power, savings, worth a work and other economic measurements for a stable economy to persist. And without a stable economy, there is no society.</p>
<p>To say what you've said about the Isrlel/Palestine situation suggests an utter lack of familiarity with history of the region, modern day politics, the core beliefs and texts of the two primary religions, and reality itself. Such profound ignorance isn't surprising, but it shows exactly why it would serve you well to learn before you call for an elaborate reformation that cannot possibly work.</p>
<p>If you care to accuse any major corporation of murder, you need to provide a non-biased source that confirms it. Otherwise, you just sound like a moonbat. And do try to find an example where I can't, with five seconds of googling it, make a better counter-argument.</p>
<p>We don't all have to agree to stop racism, sexism, other isms, etc. Respect is not the same as everyone having the same/similar beliefs. Respect is more like everyone being different but they're able to accept it.</p>
<p>And, like someone said, it would actually be impossible. No one can have all six billion people on earth have 'similar ideologies.' It's impossible.</p>
<p>Yup, there are definitely problems in the world but getting everyone to think the same way is not the solution. How would you go about that, by the way? What if someone didn't believe in what you wanted them to? Would you kill them? Isn't that just as bad as the US "keeping the world safe for democracy" by attacking the Middle East? </p>
<p>There is no peaceful way to get everyone to agree... I guess the education system would be a step to brainwashing people but not everyone has access to a computer, which brings up a completely new set of problems.</p>
<p>You are an arrogant, immature school boy who proves his ignorance by comparing himself to amazing men who have had an impact on the world. You think on the dimension of an irrational child who wants everything his way, and no way else. You fail to exhibit empathy and cannot think from any other point of view than your own. We have offered countless arguments against your utopia and you reply by saying that we are all too far below you to understand and then in the next breath invite us to email you? </p>
<p>P.S.- Why mention that Einstein and Chomsky were Jewish, I find it irrelevant and frankly anti-semitic that you feel the need to stress that.</p>
<p>Davnasca, he is indeed an anti-semitic troll. He opted to respond to my valid criticisms of his irrational theory through private messages, which were laced with more idiocy and anti-semitism. When I called him on it, he implied that I was illiterate and likely dropped out of high school, even though both are obviously false. And, on the off chance he isn't a troll, then zipper is the stupidest person to have been born in years.</p>
<p>Wow, I was going to post the offensive PM I received fro HRH Zipper, but he did it for me. Please see the post above mine for a verbatim. Just substitute gprime for davnasca.</p>
<p>I will now address his points:</p>
<p>"Also, if I am the "dumbest person in the world" how did I take 6 college courses when I'm only 17. "</p>
<p>Anyone can take courses at a local community college. I have taken about 12 college courses and I am 17. I MOST CERTAINLY DO NOT count myself among the likes of Einstein and Chomsky. </p>
<p>"I also won semens semifinalist two times. And won National AP Scholar."</p>
<p>You misspelled Siemens, real convincing there.</p>
<p>"Also, you guys who think that I'm so dumb and criticize and mock me DONT HAVE TO POST IN THIS THREAD."</p>
<p>You wanna go to Harvard buddy? You better start defending your crack brained ideas and but quick (with more than " I am a genius" or "my psych prof liked it"). They will tear your arrogant, ignorant ass apart at a Community College, let alone Harvard. You want to spread your ideology, your gonna deal with questions, now is a goos time to start answering them.</p>
<p>You took six college courses? I took nine. People that are not even in the top ten percent at my school have more college credits than you. What's your point? AP Scholar? Everyone gets that. Nothing special. Pfft. Don't think too highly of yourself. You want to go to Harvard, yet you've listed things that all people applying to Harvard have. And there you go again, spewing nonsense. You say a lot, yet you haven't said one thing to defend youself from the points we've made.</p>
<p>Edit: I got the same PM, only at the end, he added "Moron, looser" to it. At least <em>I</em> can spell loser.</p>
<p>And yet I know at least three people that have never made less than a four on an AP test. Listing your academics isn't going to make you seem smarter, it's only doing the opposite.</p>
<p>I received another PM identical to the post (edit) four above mine with the oh-so-elegant appellation "Apology, Truce?". </p>
<p>"You all are very unsuccessful in life, suffer from inferiority complexes, and are jealous of people who are better than you are."</p>
<p>Zipper, you are the one who suffers from an inferiority complex. You are the one who feels the need to compensate for you lack of something by creating an internet riot about your wish to impose your will and ideology on the whole world. Furthermore, I am most certainly not jealous of a person with your aggressive, yet ignorant attitude, lack of grammar, lack of rhetorical skills, and ridiculous ideas and ambitions.</p>
<p>we don't need to bash him for his system, it was well thought out and may work under ideal circumstances. Unfortunantly our world is far from ideal and requires a more practical and diverse approach.</p>
<p>If i were working on ideals i could easily say: Kids got to free elementary schools than after that everybody just takes tests to test into "mini level colleges" in a wide range of fields from music to math to blah. And as they move up in level, they get more narrowed in on a major. So all kids are specialized by the time they're 25. </p>
<p>ex) billy is 10 and he tests into a science major at the top level school. When he's 13 is tests into the biology school, when he's 16 he tests into the medical school, when he's 20 he tests into the surgeon school, and when he's 23 he tests into the plastic/facial reconstructive school for a year, then becomes a plastic surgeon.</p>
<p>(unfotunantly kids change there minds and you have to find a way to motivate them other than they simply won't get to the next school.)</p>
<p>There is no "perfect" education system. You just have to start with a good one, then patch in places where it lacks until you have a great one.</p>
<p>^^^^^ Thank you very much for your view. My system is well thought of, and I believe that it will work rather well when implemented. Of course, I am not perfect, so thoughtful criticism is beneficial, like Tyler09's comment.</p>
<p>"I took a total of 16 college courses of you include dual credit.</p>
<p>You can't compare with me, you frustrated freak.</p>
<p>Truce?"</p>
<p>PM from Zipper^</p>
<p>This is what I "bash" him for. I "bash" Zipper because he is exceedingly arrogant and has yet to offer any argument in favor of his idea other than "My psych prof liked it" or "I AM A GENIUS". </p>
<p>And no Zipper, no truce. I am not going to start appeasement now; didn't so hot pre-WWII. Nope, your gonna have to fight for this Sudetenland. Convince me, why is your educational program better?</p>
