I agree that the American people should be voting on this, and not just the Senate and Congress.

Almost EVERYONE and all the popular/outgoing kids are athletes and jocks. Very few kids in the schools around southern jersey don't care for sports and that's how making friends can be an issue.
OT/I'm sorry, but you aren't looking or trying hard enough then. And even if everyone played a sport, many of them are still just as friendly. /OT

No they aren't. You clearly haven't been around the people down in Jersey and theyre not as friendly. If I wasn't trying enough, then I wouldn't have posted that. Anyways I shouldn't have posted that since it has nothing to do with the topic.

Its fine as long as everyone plays nice ;)

Can you really fairly stereotype people in your state? Perhaps the reason the popular/outgoing kids are like that is a result of their  participation and practice of sports. Regardless I am sure every single school has photo clubs and other misc activities not remotely related to sports. Saying that all kinds in NJ who are popular are only interested in sports is a bit unbelievable.

Yes, that's what I was trying to say. I just didn't phrase it the right way.

The real problem that has sparked this huge debate with health care is a deeper issue that I've been seeing over the past 20 years:  No one wants to compromise right now.  Both parties have become too polarized and will not cooperate with the other.
True. You can blame Mr. Hope & Change himself for that. He refuses to talk to anyone that isn't on his side and gets frustrated with anyone who asks him a tough question. Anyone that watched the interview with him and Bret Bair on Fox knows what I'm talking about. You could see him getting angry. He had this look on his face like "how dare you question me!?" And then there's the whole "I, I, I, and my, my, my" in his speeches. Our President is suppose to unite us, not divide us.

But I don't blame one party for this mess we're about to get deeper into, or the political system for that matter. I blame society in general. In particular, the group that wants everything handed to them. They want the government to pay for their healthcare, provide them with a job, pay for the education, and they don't want it to punish people who break the law. They're unwilling to do anything for themselves. It's them that have allowed garbage like this to happen. I was reading a book about the depression a week or so ago, and it had some quotes from those who lived during that time. One guy said something like "if people today had to go through what we did back then, they wouldn't last a week." I think he's right. Sad. Very sad. :hmm:

Just to tack onto what Aaron said about the MI school system, well, auctualy about all schools accross the US. It's rediculous on how much homework schools are assigning. I don't know about anyone else here, but I can't do anything worth crap because all night long, I am doing homework, or homework. It doesn't help at all with people who have troubles understanding the material :no: It's kinda sad. I do agree that there needs to be education reform, but just putting more homework on people is making life difficult. I know people who just said screw it to the work because they have no time to do anything anymore. I think it's sad.

Don't know what you guys are talking about... I usually get little homework, maybe an hour's worth at best. :unsure:
