How can someone not pass highschool? I know two people who dropped out, and I have to wonder how dumb you have to be not to be able to pass H.S. They make it so you can graduate, even if you're a total buffoon. For example, the normal math curriculum includes : Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Calculus, stupid people are allowed to take "Basic Math" and "Math for living" classes where the only requirment is that you can do basic arithmetic. I can only imagine what goes through an employer's head when they see that someone is a highschool dropout--its basically a sign that reads "I'm too stupid to live".


THIS IS REGARDING IN TODAYS WORLD AND WHERE EDUCATION IS FREE

Debate's not just opinions, debate is convincing some one else to believe in your opinions.

Definition of 'debate' via www.dictionary.com

but anyways... I can see where th5418 is coming from on some of his 'arguements'...

I too think that becoming pregnant at a young age is also 'stupid' (note that I said I think)... but then again, they end up with the consequences of what they did... I've taken note of how many people are saying that if you get pregnant at a young age, they are naive because they weren't thinking... I think that if you don't think before you act, it's stupid.. and yes I know that we're all human and that we all make mistakes... but I know that most of my mistakes were because I wasn't thinking which was pretty stupid of me... let's take for example someone cheating on you... you find out... and you ask your boyfriend/girlfriend why they did what they did... and they reply with.. "I don't know... I wasn't thinking"... wouldn't you think that that was a stupid reason to why they did what they did??
