Как используют детей.

На крупнейшей американской телекомуникационной компании "Верайзон" забастовка. Собственно родные верайзоновские сервисы (мобильная связь, оптиковолоконный интернет) не бастуют. По причине отсутствия в их рядах членов профсоюза.Как я понял, бастуют в основном работники многочисленных телефонных сервисов, которые Верайзон покупал десятками в 90-х. А у детей в школах каникулы, вот родители и развлекают их как могут:




Вот интересно, до какой степени надо быть мудаком, чтобы поставить ребенка перед траком? И что было бы если бы у водителя сорвалась нога с педали тормоза?

Ну и на закуску, клип Van Jones Group, где детки объясняют нам неразумным основные ценности нынешней вашингтонской администрации:


А вы бы разрешили своим детям участвовать в подобных мероприятиях?

Oh, I don't know, I was pretty fucking smart at that age.

Everybody has an agenda, buddy. And whatever you call it, it doesn't matter to anyone other than you. I'm sure you have an agenda, and you don't care or whatever I might call it.

Yes, let's lock them in the deepest, darkest closet until they're 25. Better safe than sorry.

"I was pretty fucking smart at that age."

И что случилось за эти годы? Травма головы?

Getting personal, are we?

I understand that looks can be deceiving, but those kids look like they don't understand anything they're saying.

This likely isn't harming the kids in the video, but it sure ain't raising the level of intelligence of the people the video is aimed at. So what bothers me is that there are people who will look at the video and think "even kids are saying it, it must be true!". Which is off-topic, of course, but still...

It bothers me that people think anything is true without researching it for themselves. Yes, looking at kids saying that can have that effect, but really, if they're too dumb to believe stuff just because of who says it, they're off my radar.

It bothers me that people think they're as smart as they are because of their innate abilities, and not because they were guided to their present state. If we don't bother to guide others, they'll either get there a lot later or won't get there at all.

I don't see how what you said contradicts what I said.
