Freedom from systematic slavery
Funlov · M
@Laddu explain to me what is that?
Laddu · M
@Funlov

some examples below

visa n passport restrict a person from travel

without them a person cant travel freely over the world

a block from system to contain n brainwash the people of specific areas

another example is google it tracks ur location n feeds u data

when u change the location ur results change too

why

The practical work life is different from what u learn in schools n universities

wasting so many years of time n money

water is suppose to be free yet u pay bills

in past slaves were given food but at times they fought back for freedom

now they give money to make us believe we are free

@Laddu I have a passport I can probably only words in the world I was raised on the military base, so my passport is open, but I want to send the rest of the stuff you said you could never go wrong with him education no matter what it is a trade, so I’m not understanding
Laddu · M
@Funlov in past times there was no passport in my view people in general as whole had more freedom

an Artist cant learn art from university u have the talent or not

chartered accountant cant handle billions dollar companies till they get experience

Universites dont offer experience only books
Funlov · M
@Laddu no my wife’s an accountant ex-wife I have a degree in environmental studies. Do you want the first thing you do when you go out in the real world forget what the books taught you because it doesn’t mean shit life’s outside the door not in a book.
Laddu · M
In my view books dont teach u that much only the basics in many jobs which u can learn by directly working also

if only there was a department at work for new comers to learn basics then get to work straight

u can skip the money n time u invest in university
@Laddu How about freedom from all forms of slavery?
@Funlov Sounds like you didn't get into a career in the field of environmental studies.
I've always found my studies directly relevant to my work.
Funlov · M
@hartfire your wrong would you like me to school you
Funlov · M
@hartfire so if yo got something smart to say say it don’t look it up but I’ve had it with piss ants like you so bring it in tell me what you think you know and I’ll set you straight dum ass
@Funlov Sounds like I hit some sort of nerve. I didn't intend to cause offense.
Did you actually go on to a career related to environmental studies?
If so, what is it, and in what ways has it proved that all your studies were irrelevant?
Funlov · M

Funlov · M

@Funlov I'm putting a stop to this. You can't be rude in someone else's post. Start your own if you want a debate where respect is not a requirement.

@Laddu I think that understanding your sentiments need people from a certain level of experience.

From the POV of privileged, some others would likely not understand.

I do believe that things would be better with change. For instance, it is indeed curious that now people has to pay for water. But even back in earlier days, I've read about people already having a divide on which wells they could draw water from or not.

As for the passport and visa thing, I think it's a necessity for preventing bad and dangerously sick people from coming in. Take COVID for instance, it would be even more dangerous if we can't control those who have it from spreading it to other countries.

On to the matters of education, I believe education is important. In this society, it opens more doors to people. But I am also aware that the expenses and time it requires are no joke. And not everyone has the resources for it.

In my country for instance, there are free special classes offered in Tesda. Like a school that caters for skills (like cooking, baking, etc. - you can pick), but anyone who isn't as privileged as others can apply. It takes less time too to finish.
Sort of a quick vocational class that doesn't require you to be a graduate of middle or senior class. It is supposed to be free and helps widow or widowers or elderlies who just need to be able to do something and provide for family.
The slots are limited though.
If I may ask, does your country not offer something like this? Maybe you can try if there are.

I guess what I am saying is...I've been reading the thread and realized there are aggressive comments being answered to your answer to my post. I'm sorry that some of them were rude when you're just trying to voice your thoughts.

Personally, I don't agree with all of your points, but I can see why you might feel like they are a necessity. Your answer "freedom from systematic slavery" can lead to many branches depending on which aspect of the world we're talking about.

It's nice to know that people give my question some thought. I, for one, prefer thinkers. I like wavering minds over those that are bullheaded. Because when we doubt our sense of righteousness, we'd have better chances to figure out on whether we may be wrong at some point, which would then let us consider doing better.

And listening to people from different places of privilege would open up our minds and give us a deeper understanding of the world and what's happening.
