eh..forgot to mention why we should replace those people.. maybe because they find a handheld piece of plastic that can process numbers faster than his non highschsool graduating mind on a little liquid crystal display....ya think??

no kidding.. wut a sad world we live in.. when there are jobs involving petty people who have to answer the phone, talking to children about games. why dont they just replace those minimum wage people with computers... and make them work as janitors!
If you had read my "hardcore" letter, you wouldn't have stated: "I've seen how the opportunities you spoke of have been utilized by your age group. Most of them can be found on geocities or tripod." I do clearly remember saying that very few are offered the chance to learn what Stewart Gregerson and I have. (*The other user that replied to the letter) so, naturally, there are MANY opportunities that may be "utilized", i.e. McDonalds, where your average C student is found working at minimum wage. And, if your talking about opportunities on the computer, I suggest you read the main article again my friend, because it TOO states how power some kids get from mastering stocks. Or wielding the ability to give more accurate legal advice than a lawyer that's probably 50 yrs older than the kid at his computer.
Yes, most are making little geocities sites. don't think geocities is a NON-profiting business! They aren't appealing with clothing and makeup ads to appeal to 50-year-old men. They are a business, and they sure as hell know their clientele.
Now, from there you just make me laugh at your blindness..:"By your very comments you have proven that 'adults' have nothing to worry about. At least have the proactiveness to include suggested solutions." Surely, I thought my solutions were stated, but perhaps you are right. Perhaps I was not frank enough and not as detailed as I should have been. Here, how's this?:
We, the legion of a generation of children who have awoken to the lies, murder, deception, manipulation and brain washing are livid. We will not tolerate it. For a solution to this, there are many ways. However, the majority must approve the solution. Personally... I think we should take down the government, at its many cores. I wont name any, unless you wish me to email a more personal letter if that would please you, describing each location that would be best. Is this the reality that you wanted to here? A kid that wishes to murder innocent people in order to set things back a few hundred years? Is this your doing? No, but you haven't helped the situation any. You and many others will ignorantly shout "communist" because I do not care for your government. Because you see that I don't stand for the bullshit, unlike the rest of you, so you call me, (the irony) after a person who wants more government. I say your Gov. because you may not have been there to shape it, but you are sure as hell not helping it in ANY way by cooperating. How about "anarchist"? Will you say that instead? Its possible, but I, like most don't want chaos. (Which is where we are heading any way)I wish for freedom. As a kid who obediently listens to his parents, i am here to say I am ruled by my own government as well... many forces control me. The thing WE as a generation want most... is freedom. In EVERY way... we will not just be satisfied with freedom of expression, (which is still limited in many ways, don't make me pull out a list)we want freedom with everything, no matter WHAT the consequences... we don't need someone to tell us we can not wear certain clothing, have to wear helmets, (for OUR safety? why do they care? is it propaganda? or is it really because we are just another object that gives those political giants more money in their pockets??) I mean, look what happens if we do something that doesn't promote our health! We are punished... usually with money!.. But don't forget... this is to enforce the safety of the people. there are so many other things. I wont go into them now, I wont waste my time on ONE person. I want all to hear me. One day they will, I assure you.
Now, the class system? Are you admitting that you don't feel there's a class system????
omg. You people not only bullshit others and manipulate (starting with religion), but you also do it to yourselves!! Take a look around at the 21st century in the United States of America! With all our Bs laws we are forced to pay to help others to equal out the economy, and we still have a bias system, we just don't admit to it. Appearance, my friend, is 70% of bullshitting, (talking and action is the other 30) we don't push people to the back of the bus because of their skin color anymore, because that sure as hell was noticeable and made us look bad! Those different skinned still paid taxes and gave money. Like I have stated before, politicians who have figured out how to beat the system in every aspect are corrupting the government.
Are you happy now? You interrupted me from constructing my geocities homepage. (*Grin* I would never bow down to a corporation that made money by using it's clients but appeared to be kind.........so why do you?)
I am not perfect, in fact, far from. However, I do my best to live by my own believes. Number one is look at both sides of the story regardless of what others tell you, and make your decision ON YOUR OWN. But most importantly, don't give up the fight and don't accept the system. We need all we can get.
Complaining?? HA! I'm defending my case against you greedy, government hungry, blind fools who I at least TRY to get fear into by showing you the realities. Complaining is what you do when your kid didn't wash your dishes for you, or pickup not only his, but also your room as well. You punish him, and he despises control even more. Just like you did at one time, I'm sure. Only... now we are brought together much more as a 'colony' through computers and we share our opinions... not complaining about them.
So, don't worry about how your government will end. Just know it will. And with an attitude like you, (which is what the majority of the public has) we are screwed. So sit back and watch the show if you don't want to go down fighting like the 15 yr. olds who have "risen".

(Next time you challenge me be sure to write more, it shows that you at least care about what you're trying to express.)
I am a 15 year old. I have owned many many computers in my life so far, and i have developed knowledge and talents with, and through my computer. I know more about computers than the average 20-30 year old male, even in these times when computers are becoming as common and cheap as televisions. Am i over confident in saying this? no, i have talked to many adults about computers. If they are not software engineers, chances are I, and the average 15 year old geek at his desk know more than them. (and the only reason that ALL 15 year olds dont know how to code in c++ or vis. basic or html or even master a basic drawing program is because most public schools dont provide the classes, not unless your father is in politics and he sends you to some private school, and even there the chances are slim, even for the elite.)
Now, the questions of whether or not we are starting a revolution is something way more than you adults would care to concieve or give thought to. the mere nano second of thought that is taken to comprehend what it would feel like to tear down your controlling and communistic government and the world as you see it is too much for you. the status quo WILL change, these computers are only a way for my generation to branch out and express our freedom of thought, hobbies, likes and dislikes. It creates more power for us. for the gentleman who stated (do not recall his SN) that knowledge, and gaining knowledge faster than adults is not power, you are wrong. once again you do not wish to think that we could gain power over you. fear... it is the reason you pay your taxes and wear your seat belt, and yes, why you even go to church, so that you wont spend eternity in flames. Most of my generation (the brighter ones) have come to realize that this world that has been brought upon us is not one we wish to live in (i have thought, is this what causes such incidents as the 'coloumbine shooting' and teen suicides? because i admit myself, it is quite an overwhelming feeling.) so, back to the topic, power, class, and knowledge (which are all directly proportional in the long end)are more available, it is only a matter of time before your world, ahem, your 'empire' is taken down by your siblings, and restored. (an updated version, if you will.) With any hope, by the time i am an 'adult',(respecting your unjust class system) sex, race, and age descrimination as well as a powerful government will be near abolished thanks to the evergrowing amount of people sitting at their desks and writing up their opinions in some forum.
p.s. i absolutly loved this letter when i first read it years ago, read it through and through adults, and try to feel like you once were, a curious and all knowing 15 yr old and then tell me we are criminals for wanting music to be free!
