Winston Churchill once said “Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has not heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains.” In this day and age it’s simply not true. In today’s political climate we sit, with our middling government, on the bring of utter collapse. No, not because gays got marriage rights and not because “they’re” takin’ your jobs but because we have a country that is fundamentally flawed  thanks to a lifetime of bad decisions and foolish mistakes.

Yesterday saw the BBC run a story entitled “Primary School Subject Overhaul” where a major review wants to drop topical teaching and replace it with generalised areas of learning. So for example, rather than teaching a child IT skills you might teach him “scientific and technological understanding”. This may seem to you like a non-event but to me this is symptomatic of exactly why our nation underperforms in almost every sense in todays world.

Our current education system, although greater i’m sure than those of many countries (notably ones without education systems), is a complete shambles. This review, like every other education review in my life time, seeks to make British young persons less competititve in the global market. Our GCSEs, A-levels and degrees are falling in value almost as quickly as our currency as the first world nations not only shun our once prestigious system (now a mere handful of the elite universities) but take international business worth billions away from us every year.

Is it any wonder than in a country where education was the number 1 priority and also the number 1 disaster that we are falling the fastest? We have not only the highest teen pregnancy rate (due to benefits being too high), the highest obesity rate (caused by a number of factors, predominantly bad parenting) but also one of the highest illiteracy rates of any first world country. We put teaching life skills (surely something that should fall in the domain of the parents) at a higher priority level than teaching science – The idea that any child in this country should not have a basic scientific understanding is abhorent to me.

Quite frankly, it’s getting to the point where I have no faith in society and i’d rather just privately tutor my children when I have them one day, so I know that poisonous lies aren’t being fed to them by the liberals demanding we teach how to cuddle puppies properly as a prime-time subject and the conservatives who want everyone to know we owe almighty god for everything.

The quote should really be: “Any man who is under 30 and distrusts the Government, has no faith; and any man who is over 30, and does has no brains.”

I hate my Zhevra mount more than I ever thought possible:

Silly Silly Mount.

On a different tangent, what do people think about Death Knight’s dual wielding? Well here’s what I think as illustrated by attempting to have a discussion with joe retard from the Turalyon server:

Thats enough of this drivel for today, like the post header? Worth my effort? *Shrugs*

Thinking about getting some private hosting so I can tinker with this blog more … Not sure it’s worth it.
