Report: Nearly Half Of Detroiters Can’t Read

[D-rock]

It's sad. I wonder how long it has been since people have seen a major city slowly die like this. In some ways even major wars of other places haven't crippled and destroyed the cities they effected in the long term like this.

 

[STDiva]

How do you even recover from this? Haven't a few hundred thousand people left over the years?

 

[pete rose]

Detroit depresses me like none other.

 

[EwaSonnetIsGod]

Half of detroiters are dead? What the fuck does that mean...or am I just reading that wrong?

 

[vodkazvictim]

I downt no wut u just sed....but I liek it

Give that man the Fallhell prize for literature!

I am completely shocked! You are telling me that half of Detroit can read. I have to call on this one.

Lol. BTW, I'm one of the morons that you're sig states is causing you to lose faith in humanity.

Oh

The humanity

Big cities suck ass.

In America, education is expensive - especially good education, meaning teachers who give a damn. It's no secret that Detroit suffered perhaps the worst screwjob and recession in the nation. This story is no surprise.

I fear what is happening in Chicago now. Repeatedly fucked over, businesses leaving or going out of business due to the highest tax rise in the U.S.
Illinois is fucked.

 

[tartanterrier]

Do Detroiters really want to read about how shitty their city is :dunno:

 

[georges]

they have killpatrick or fitzpatrick as mayor, so what do you expect? A shithole becomes even more shittier.

and none here remembers that his highness Daddy O was the senator of Illinois before becoming POTUS. And what did Daddy O make positive for the Illinois state ? Jackshit or nothing.

False, but I'm not going to delineate how, as you are entirely incapable of accepting that there is anything at all positive about President Obama. You just make cheap shots like this whenever you are able to.

The only thing positive we can say about his highness Daddy O is that he got OBL killed. But the social security and free healthcare are big nay, perhaps should I say that the bailouts were not as good as they were intended to be. Your unemployment is higher than it used to be and the criminality rate among your country is high. I am not fooled by marketing or false promises unlike many, Obama did a big number of prmises but many of them weren't kept. He was an overrated candidate during the campaign and I don't see nothing stellar or spectacular about him. I will always criticize him, I am not endorsing him nor his administration. Many questions are raised about him,perhaps for some valid reasons.

im starting to get the distinct feeling you don't like obama

I judge people on their past and present actions and if they failed to keep their numerous promises which were impossible to realize, you do realize that it is hard to like people who fail to their promises or who are just an image of marketing, not people with real convictions or even action. I have more respect and trust for someone like Condoleeza Rice, Colin Powell, General Petraeus, General Norman Schwartzkopf or even Robert S Mueller III, the actual director of the fbi. You can't like every politician, some like Obama and others don't. And you know who in Europe like Obama? The poor, students, illegal immigrants, the people living in ghettos and all the silly leftists believing in the europe of 27 and the euro. Politically socialism and any form of leftism/far leftism is the social distribution of misery. Leftism/far leftism is what plagues Europes since two decades if not three.

 

[pete rose]

Wow. I don't even know how to respond to you anymore. Your grip on reality is fucked.

 

[georges]

My grip on reality is not fucked because first I live in Europe and I know absolutely which groups of the society are backing up Obama and those who are against him. Don't even try to lecture me about Europe, you will just waste your time

 

[dongkong]

Jobs = a better more well off society.
Detroit's problem is that it is one of the worst states to do business in. No business wants to move to detroit and those who are there want to move out.
Detroit is a great case study about how a once awesome state can be fuked over soooooo bad by politicians and unions.

 

[meesterperfect]

gotta love that public education system

I blame the welfare system overall.
The shitty schools are a product of that also because in my opinion the schools are bad not really because of the staff but the behavior of the students, which is a product of the parents most of which had kids that they arent capable of raising correctly thanks to the welfare system.
