Reply #80: Right, I forgot, ALL of those things are caused by the individual [View All]

Everything was better 10 years ago and suddenly everyone changed and those changes caused them to get fat! Wow, amazing! The collective American society was so motivated and had such integrity 10 years ago and suddenly just changed *poof* and got lazy. I wonder what caused that?

Getting 'stupider' (wow, that word choice is really a good indicator that you're an expert on the subject of education) must mean people are just too lazy to educate themselves, rather than the fact that schools are notoriously underfunded in most parts of the country and the ignorant NCLB regulations require teachers to teach to the test. Of course! Since the quality of one's education is all up to the individual, why have schools at all? And electing the wrong politician MUST be because of laziness about civic responsibility, and have nothing to do with really elaborate media manipulation and campaigns that are carefully crafted to obfuscate the real issues - to say nothing of potential voter fraud, but I'm guessing you'd say that if election fraud happened, it was the individual's responsibility for being too lazy to prevent it.

Almost every social problem has multiple causes. It is possible to acknowledge that eating too much and exercising too little plays a part in the relatively recent dramatic increase in the number of overweight people. That doesn't mean that other factors can't be in play as well.

Bye, have a nice day! :hi:
