From | Rightist Party | To | Debating the Education Reform Act | | Message | Run free? This from a guy who says Children have rights. I guess they do when they do not conflict with your ideology |
| Date | 13:35:58, January 07, 2008 CET |
From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Education Reform Act | | Message | Children need to be educated. Children, and all people, have a right to an education. Letting children do whatever they please as long as it is creative is not an education, and it is doing a disservice to them. |

From | Rightist Party | To | Debating the Education Reform Act | | Message | Who says they are not going to get an education JUP? Point to me where this says they will not be educated. |

From | Monacelli Party | To | Debating the Education Reform Act | | Message | we oppose. The current legislation does not entirely exclude creative integrations and focus, but put a mandate that a standard of education be held. Private schools must still educate their students, even if the focus is on the arts and humanities. A creative person is far less valuable to a society when poorly educated. |

From | Rightist Party | To | Debating the Education Reform Act | | Message | A creative person is far more valuable to society than someone who is poorly educated. A Bright person struggles on these so called standardized tests. Are we to allow them to be punished because a few people here put all their stock in something that is proven to be inadequate to judge accomplishments? |

From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Education Reform Act | | Message | Intelligent people do not struggle on tests - it is they who most excel at them. They have never been proven to be inadequate, quite the opposite in fact. All tertiary education is based on exams, and you cannot suggest that that system, in place for hundreds of years, is not working. |

JUP! I'm a highly intelligent person and I fucking struggled on thes fucking exams. So go jump off a god damn bridge you lousy piece of shit. |

From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Education Reform Act | | Message | You are not a highly intelligent person, and even if you were, you obviously didn't work hard enough for your exams. Don't give me excuses about test anxiety or anything, anyone can do an exam if they put in the work. |
| Date | 23:26:22, January 08, 2008 CET |
From | Rightist Party | To | Debating the Education Reform Act | | Message | Fuck off JUP! You know nothing about me at all. If you did, you would find that I am a highly intelligent person. If I wasn't highly intelligent fucktard, I would not have graduated from the University with 2 God Damn degrees and I would not have registered for Grad Classes.
So why don't you shut the fuck up about things you do not seem to understand. |

From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Education Reform Act | | Message | It's not difficult to get two degrees. Presumably you didn't have trouble with the university exams though. |
| Date | 01:15:54, January 09, 2008 CET |
From | Rightist Party | To | Debating the Education Reform Act | | Message | You really do not have a clue as to how education is runned do you? You are an idiot. |
| Date | 15:53:02, January 09, 2008 CET |
From | Rightist Party | To | Debating the Education Reform Act | | Message | What's the point JUP? I already know you are a moron. I have already explained it numerous times and if you do not understand it by now, then you will never understand. Creativity is what makes education what it is. If you just make kids learn with zero creativity, the kids will become bored and they will not learn. Creativity is part of learning. That is something that you need to learn. |

From | Rightist Party | To | Debating the Education Reform Act | | Message | They lose alot of it because it is not fostered. If it continues to be fostered, they will not lose their creativity. |
