Very interesting on many levels. And also pretty scary. And then you look at these bright Asian children and their incredible drive to succeed and work hard and study hard and it's even more scary.

Even though I have a near visceral hate for Alex Jones and David Icke, this was a great vid.

Unfortunately, many people don’t feel fluoride and mercury derivatives are sufficient in the stupefying of the populace. They are signing up in droves for more effective means on a completely voluntary basis. Marijuana, crack, meth, opium, heroin, and more, world wide, people just can’t get enough of this stuff! I wish the film had touched on this aspect of getting stupid. However, the background music was Pink Floyd; perhaps they figured that was close enough.

One thing i'll add.

If you'rr a kid growing up in Anytown, USA and your parents give you everything you want/need...then where is the drive to succeed? I see this ALL THE TIME. Its just like "Office Space" when he talks to the Bobs about his lack of motivation. I think s-h-i-t-t-y parenting is probably worse then toxic chemicals :)

Some mornings I wake up and scream "ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!! GO AWAY PO/NWO/EVERYTHING!!" Ignorance really is bliss. Sometimes I wish I was a sheep, I wish life would just continue on as 'normal', I advance in my career, play with my toys, wife and two kids, travel the world.

Then I just remember thats not really life, this is living, the future is exciting.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Ludi', 'O')nly if you're afraid of asians.

In Ludi's naive idiot fantasy world, the only bad people are those evil white racists, and all other races simply want to hold hands and get along.

I'm more afraid of guys who pick avatar images of snipers to represent themselves. I'm convinced that when TSHTF a lot of the active posters on peakoil.com such as yourself are probably going to be more of a menace to society than J6P zombies.

Crash course in demographics:

# Students in Canada & United States (Pre-K to post-secondary): 89.2 million
# Students in China (Pre-K to post-secondary):326.6 million
# Top 25% of China's students - 81.6 million

Translation: They have as many honours students as we have students.

It has nothing to do with your ethnic stereotyping. It's just raw force of numbers.
