Inner Horizon

Such is the method of revealing bias in tolerance for unethical behavior towards particular groups of people, I find myself having to use this same method on a daily basis when having to endure the words of the government education system. Personally I find it terribly frustrating having to hear such vile statements thrown towards white men from people who advocate "tolerance"... although a more politically correct term would be "acceptance". I've made efforts to speak up against this mindset but I've only witnessed conflict in response, these people cannot listen to reason.

I'd like to hear your opinion on the validity of homework for High School students, do you think the type of school is a factor involved?

Well... The guy I labelled libertarian is a part of the fdr forum community, I guess the reason why I focus on other people more than myself is due to the fact that my life is taken up so much by the educational prison that binds me and since I'm discouraged to express myself there I started to lose my sense of self. I learnt the hard way recently, I took up the school's offer to 'be different' as they called it but when I demonstrated my stance in my works they severely penalized me for going against their ideologies. I realized then that their push for originality was a façade and that they just wanted the students to not realized they're all just robots on a conveyor belt being injected with infected programs. Everyone keeps telling me that being alone is a bad thing but I feel like if I go solo I'll have a better chance at finding a group fit for me without external distractions. All my issues at school sprouted from my loneliness but being alone was what was protecting me from danger.

I have a small circle of friends at school, one of them is a libertarian as well but he has left the school this year.

I'm still going through high school at the moment and through out my years I've always been irritated by the fact that nobody took me seriously when I tried to have meaningful conversations with others of similar age. During my junior years everyone knew that I was different but they didn't really pay much mind to my presence but now that the propaganda machine has finally set into everyone else's psyche, my challenges to their belief systems have become fairly obvious to them. I now view other's perception of me like this: Insults from the irrational = Compliments from the rational. I wanted to know if it's for the best that I'm now a threat to my grade's deluded bubble of comfort or if I should try to go about the rest of my school days avoiding any potential instances that could draw attention to myself?

Well this is definetly the right place for that, I've made some friends on fdr since creating my account. This community has helped me with my emotional issues and spurred me to start working on a little personal project. Just continue to be open and honest with people, both here and in your personal life. "Nothing will make people love you more and hate you more than telling the truth"

Oh right... I see your point there, those involved made the choice. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I guess the child abuse is just a tendency more than anything.

I have to concede it was a broad statement but I don't see an inconsistency in what I've said. All I'm stating is that past sexual abuse (particularly to children) causes people to take up these occupations, or at least is a significant factor in it. And if TheSchoolofAthens doesn't want to buy into that, he's got a valid point.

Watching porn is taking advantage of past sexual abuse, as simple as that. TheSchoolofAthens has the right idea to be disgusted by it.

The story of every student attending school. If the parents acknowledge the terrors of the education system or at least the emotions of their child attending school then it just comes down to "Do not do to others what you wouldn't like done to you". Students are forced to attend some form of education if they like it or not by the state, the most any loving parent could do is to protect their child and devote themselves to the child's learning and happiness. To go unschooled instead of shoving them into the indoctrination conveyor belt of the government education system where the parents lose all control over what happens to their child during the six hour time span of the school day.

If you're here to learn then I would suggest you watch the show before entering the forum community, a lot of the stuff talked about here is under the assumption you're invested in the main content of Freedomain Radio. Be warned, a lot of what is said here conflicts with common held beliefs taught in schools. You'll find that a lot of people in this community aren't so much positioned somewhere 'on' the political chart but 'off' it.

If you are who I think you are Jayden, why are you here? You don't seem like the Anarcho-Capitalist type to me. If you are just doing this for jokes, this isn't the place for that.

That sounds about right, I came to realize my condition throughout what had happened made me very desperate for somebody to spend time with. Why... why didn't I talk here sooner?

I've had a conversation with a fellow forum user where I was asked would I rather drink poison or dream of drinking poison, just something I wanted to get out there. As for how I was raised... I'm not entirely sure how what happened to me has effected my listening ability, all I really recall is that I had little conversational experience with anyone before that point. At least when it came to meaningful discussions, so I found myself projecting virtue on others when I found myself in one-sided conversations. Everyone I spoke to was like a mirror. Not sure if that explains anything but those are the conclusions I've come to.

I see what you mean... The way I framed it could have easily led to problems, but I feel that it wouldn't have mattered either way. It was extremely hard to get clear answers from her. It seemed that even she didn't understand what she was doing and why she was doing it, at least that's how I saw it. But I'll take that into consideration, although the main thing I want to focus on achieving is to make sure I'll never repeat this experience.

Well... What I understand is that my parents want me to get through the rest of it because I've already gotten this far, and the negative stigma towards those who haven't gone through the full course of government indoctrination in the work place. Even my brother who is a part of the fdr community has suggested I just endure it for 3 more years. I should also mention I'm at a private school, I'm not trying to excuse my family however. I'd love to be unschooled and I'm really bumbed that it isn't a reality for me. I'd also like to mention that "TheSchoolofAthens" has contacted me and asked me if I'd like to use my experiences at school to write a story about my life through the education system, to tell other young individuals going through similar sorts of situations I've gone through that they're not alone and not all hope has been lost. I'm happy to say I've found a way to use my negative experiences for good, my life has been given purpose.

I understand completely Taiga, from this experience I've noticed I've become more attentive to details in conversations as well as people openly speaking e.g. in a class room. I'm growing in my ability to paint a clearer picture of who people are through my interactions. In fact I've already found myself among new people who appreciate what I bring to the conversation. I value your support, thank you Taiga, you've told me you're a person of character.

Thank you for your input, I realized my standards were set low when I first got into the interaction as I was very much deprived of friendship at that point in my life... enough to accept the first person who decided to hear me out. That being said, I've learnt what better place to look for positive interactions than freedomain radio. I should've started speaking here when I first found it at the age of 10.

my personal favourite iteration of miles is the investigations version, it felt like his charm was lost when he went 3d in my opinion. It's nice to meet you too Edward

Oh, quite the opposite! I NEEDED a blunt answer, if it was sugar coated I'd still be stuck in a rut. To be honest, this is the first time someone has had the guts to tell me my mistakes. I will continue to work towards bettering myself in the future, I've got a lot of work to do.

The main thing that concerns me is the how much these sorts of women are unaware of their own tendencies, every time she revealed something horrid about something she had done... she didn't understand why I was shocked by it. Women are taught they have the power to do anything and not be held responsible for their actions whereas Men are taught they hold all responsibility and have to tread carefully to not offend anyone. At least that's what I've noticed by how people respond to the opposite genders at school (from both teachers and students)

Thank you Will, I was struggling so much to understand why I felt this way. But the way you've put it has made it extremely easy to stop caring about what has happened and to just move on, It was a mistake to act upon instinct during school. It was a death sentence from the very beginning. I think I'll be able to recognize if I'm ever heading in that direction again in the future, I will not betray those I care about by acting so irrationally. You've done me a great service

I just wish I made my mind up sooner, this whole issue has taken it's toll on me both physically and mentally. I'm experiencing countless nightmares, emotional breakdowns during stand up presentations (which I used to be fine at) and increased heart rate from simply driving closer to school. It makes me feel a whole lot better when I remember I have a supporting brother and mother as well as the fact that this community simply existing has given me hope for the planet's future.

The way I see it, hate is the prerequisite for love. If I'm able to establish what is the opposite of what i'm looking for quickly, the sooner I'll be able to spot the right kinds of people I should be devoting my time towards.

Hi Copper_Heart! Jordan and I are still in high school and attend the same school, it's a pleasure to meet you. If you want to hear about what i've been through during school, i've started a topic in the self-knowledge section called "people are you they associate with". If you want to talk about your recent experiences i'd be glad to share my thoughts.
