Meanwhile in USA

Well, he's got a point that the Philippines were not a French colony as you wrote, but a Spanish one. Though perhaps it was just a typo on your part.

Ah yes, didn't even notice, was getting late. I've corrected it.


For anyone interested in the period I can recommend Dan Carlin's podcast on the Spanish-American war and its aftermath: http://www.dancarlin.com/product/hardcore-history-49-the-american-peril/

The 'liberation' of the Philippines was brutal, destruction of villages, mass-slaughter, concentration camps and torture to such a degree it led to Senate hearings on U.S activities there.

@Argantyr: Under Suharto, the suppression of politcal oposition killed even more than the ethnic cleansing of timor-east. More than 500'000 people were killed across indonesia with the support of US gouvernement.

Yes, Suharto was an absolutely brutal dictator, who got British and Australian support aswell. The British even gave him aircraft during the invasion.

Probably something phallic.

It's just a regular vegetable. Only slightly more dense.

Dude, those pictures are not proof of anything. They are black and white, so it is impossible to prove those are Americans. And everybody knows that people from the Philippines are evil.  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philistines

[Xant]

Wat...

What didn't you understand, motherfucker? Don't you know what black and white means?

[Doom_Carrot]

Wat...

The picture. Its black. And its white. Its kinda like interracial porn.

Does this mean americans can't tell the difference between ethnicities if the pictures are in nig... black and normal?

[Xant]

Does this mean americans can't tell the difference between ethnicities if the pictures are in nig... black and normal?

Yes, obviously, do you literally not know anything?

Obviously, thats why we have color pictures now, so people can complain about racism.

If the pool party cop video was in black and white no one would have known any better and nothing would have happened. This is like 3rd grade photography dude.

US school system sux

What have you got against homeschooling? Isn't Tim Tebow living proof that it works?

I worked with a dude who was homeschooled once.

The first time I met him, went on to inform me that he was in fact properly socialized, so me and him should get along fine.

But seriously, fuck that guy. Don't homeschool your kids.

the fact he had to tell you that was a clear indication of his social abilities.  I grew up with some neighbors who homeschooled their children, 3 of them, and they were indeed the most awkward people to be around.  The youngest of the three eventually asked to be put in the public high school once she was of age, and honestly, i felt kind of bad for her at first, but those 4 years opened her up quite a lot.  Her older siblings did that weird socialization club shit for homeschooled children and they were still fucking weird.

Homeschooling should be illegal in US kinda like it is in most of Europe. Its not about acing the state exams, theres a fuckton of other merits aswell. I read the statistics a bit and the main reason is that the parents are scared of the schoolenvironment. Now thats a legit fear, yeah, but the schoolenvironment is a lot safer than the real world. What happens when you one day stop homeschooling and the poor isolated bastards have to cope with the hardships they never had to encounter before. Like social rejection for example.

[Xant]

I've also heard from Americans that the homeschooled people they know are really frigging weird, so it seems like no coincidence..

[Doom_Carrot]

Being homeschooled, I feel like I must tell you that everything just said is not true. Many of my friends are homeschooled, many are not.

I have friends from many areas of life, and honestly find myself to be very busy with all the social activities I do. I learn alot more than any public schoolers, because I don't text people on my phone all day while falling asleep to a monotone teacher's voice. I got the presidential gold volunteer award 3 years in a row, and am an active part of my community. I have seen many of my friends go from public school to homeschool, but never the other way around. Also it helps keep families closer. My mom read me bedtime stories before tucking me in to bed until I was 15, and my brothers and I spent alot of days playing board games together or taking walks around the block and talking about our life goals.

However, it can be weird too, I agree. Sometimes when in public I didn't know what to say to people. I always got made fun of for hiding in my house all day by the big kids down the block. I was on an airplane once and I was scared so I brought my stuffed frog with hearts on it (a valentine's day present) and I got a lot of mean looks and glares. So people can be stupid about it but homeschooling is good. I fully support it so knock it off.
