at 15, I'm a kid. At 38, I'm an adult. I can't say "fuck off, I'm just a kid" anymore, as much as I'd love to.

So now you see the whole point of my agenda. We're making 15 year old adults now.

So, when you say to some American 15 y/o "get a job", and he replies "get fucked, I wanna play football", you're gonna take him into a war zone and dump him there?

Inner city streets are pretty much just as dangerous.

I like how you refer to said child as "ungrateful", as if he should be grateful about the fact you've taken away his childhood by forcing him to go to 12 hours of school a day,

Do you have kids? Because this sounds hopelessly out of touch. Households with one working parent are not nearly as commonplace as they used to be. The majority of middle class families have two working parents. That means, the kid has to do something when he gets out of school. For that, there are YMCA's, after school programs, day cares, camps, etc etc etc. What do these places all have in common? They're open til 7, and they cost money.

I'm simply subsidizing that practice with government dollars saved by not paying for high schools. I have 3 kids. They get out of school at 2 or 3 and they get bussed to a YMCA where there are lots of other kids, activities, etc. They stay there until 6 when I pick them up. My ex wife pays for it every week, and every month I send her $1,000 just to cover my half. Imagine if that money got put back into middle class households.

Kids are already out of the house for 12 hours at a time. That's the reality faced by a working class household. I'm just making it better, and free.

and now want to take away his teenage years too, just so he can pay tax, boost the economy, and make you look like a good President, instead of some fucked up oppressive arsehole that thinks the nation's children are there for your Presidential benefit, and for the economic good of others.

I'm not taking anything away. When I was 16 I pulled a 3.7 GPA, worked 20 hours per week at a supermarket, and played both Football (the good kind), and Lacrosse. What I'm proposing significantly cuts down on the amount of school hours a 16 year old needs every day, so if anything, I'm giving time back to teenagers, not taking it away.

Also, I'm not sure I specified anything about paying tax. I doubt these kids would pay anything on a low wage, part time job.

I think you need a more serious means of dealing with twats like me, because this idea of yours might cost you a few votes.

I think a popular exasperation with folks who wanna do nothing is what's going to get me elected.

Here's where you haven't got to know me yet. I don't wanna do nothing. I want to grow weed, but the law stops me doing so. I'm de facto retired until they change the law.

The law's not stopping you from doing it. It's just making you afraid to. All the materials you need are legal to buy, and there's a market out there. Now THRIVE!

Or, accept that maybe the world isn't gonna serve up your #1 dream exactly the way you want it and find a fall back.

I think Ong should join the army.
