KIDS REACT to Osama bin Laden's Death

I'm currently writing a research paper analyzing textbook content. The sad fact is that there are only a handful of publishing companies in the world due to many buy-outs and acquisitions through the 90's. California, Texas and Florida are the largest markets for textbooks, but textbooks are state controlled in these states (one book is approved for use across the state). Add in that the public can address any issues they have with the content of the books and you get people/groups of people trying to push their personal agendas through textbook content (ie Intelligent Design, American exceptionalism, gender roles etc.) The publishers know what is considered permissible by these extremist groups and now self-censor watering down content and imo hurting the students in the long run.

What's really scary though, is that textbooks manufacture books only for the largest markets, because it doesn't make economic sense to localize for smaller regions. That's why the textbook issue in Texas was so huge.

(and I'm sure you're aware of that, just clarifying for those who might not know)

smug cunts some of them. i cant believe how pretentious most of these kids are, i guess it has to do with the massive amount of media consumption? they all seem to behave like they're trying to copy horrible stereotypes of american adults. from adverts and dull sitcoms. or i may justh ate kids.

I know, right?

i was shaving when I heard of the attacks. Shaving my face

I don't remember where I was or what I was doing when I first heard about the attacks. It was my first year out of high school, so I was probably in the middle of thinking "what the fuck am I doing with my life?" when I heard about it. I remember going downtown and seeing some guy outside a 7-11 doing a pantomime of a plane crashing into a building, complete with sound effects... is it still a pantomime if the performer's making sound effects with his voice?

Anyway, that William kid seems to know what's up. Hope he carries some of his wisdom over to his peers in high school.

id vote for william
