i think younger people today (not all but alot) are aggressive with no manners or respect for themselves (some of them) or others (alot of them). personally, i think we should have bootcamps over here as in mexico where the 'participants' have to do their own washing ironing cleaning cooking, do physical excercise in form of army style assault courses and earn the right to watch tv, use the computer, talk/communicate with others. what do you think about this?

Forgotten
By: Eric Wyatt

I get up and shake myself off,
And then I walk down to the spot.
I sit and wait for someone to drive by,
And Just acknowledge I exist.
I see you but you pretend to not see me,
And I wish I could go back in time.
Instead I'm here holding a sign,
Asking you simply read it.
You choose to turn you head,
And hope I might go away,but in reality,
I'm on the corner, you're stopped,
And you're waiting for it to turn green
It turns green and you start to go,
And you're glad that the pressure is gone.
Then you go to bed and pull up your blanket,
Regretting how you looked away.
I go to bed pull up my cardboard sheet
Regretting another worthless day.

I'm returning to school to fininsh my degree. I'd like to go full time to finish quickly, but I would need to have enough financial aid to pay for my bills as well as tuition. I can't live on campus because I have a home. Has anyone else out there essentially taken out enough aid in scholarships, grants and loans to be able to pay for college and live too?

i am interested in taking a course to qualify myself transcribing court testimony. Apparently if you train hard enough and learn to type up to 200 words per minute, you qualify. Does anyone know if there is a course along these lines that may be offered in southern ontario?

Education in America keeps sliding down hill compared to other industrilized countries. Seven years we were 17 in education and now we are 24. We have a very poor education system compared to other industrilized countries. So my question is does that mean Americans are getting dumber? We are leaving high school with less skill and knowledge than many other industrilized nations. They have a much higher standard. Any American who went to college in another country like Australlia would know that most public schools in America are a joke. So once again with a lower education system does that not mean America overall is getting dumber?
