  1. Public schools rob children of their childhood. The whole argument about education leading to decent jobs first requires decent jobs to be available to those who are educated. Show me the decent jobs before you tell me dumb shit like that. Maybe you expect them to innovate to new jobs in entrepreneurship? I don't think the schools available to them are that good, or that they began with that much potential. If it was so easy it would have succeeded sometime over the last hundred years. The west wants children in school as a means of human population control. These kids grow up quickly compared to westerners, they are more responsible at the age of 12 then western college students are at 20. They start families early and have lots of kids. Its not about education or opportunity, its about population control. Shoot straight with me, or I figure you are a liar and not worth supporting.

  2. Poverty is relative. You aren't in natural poverty if you have shelter over your head, food in your belly and clothes on your back. Any poverty standards past this are a social construct.
