when I was a kid, we had school soccer game championships, or the end of the year olympics, this in elementary school.

I was the fastest sprinter in class, I was the go to guy on Relay, 50m dash, and 100m dash, the kids would chant my name before the race b/c I won every year, it made me feel like something,, and gave me some pride and spirit... You got a blue ribbon for first, red ribbon for second, yellow ribbon for third.

I only ever had blue or red, and I TRIED HARD for that shit, every year, only to beat everyone each time, it taught me to strive, and be the best..


Nowadays,, in the elementary schools, everyone gets a blue ribbon, for "participating"...

well, I'll just sit there with my thumb up my ass I guess, just gimme my ribbon..


That is socialism to me, as I would tell it to an elementary school student..

And they do this to indoctrinate, and have been doing it now for who knows how long..

what a crock of shit, ,,, why bother to strive??
