RIP School Survival Forums
August 2001 - June 2017

The School Survival Forums are permanently retired. If you need help with quitting school, unsupportive parents or anything else, there is a list of resources on the Help Page.

If you want to write about your experiences in school, you can write on our blog.

To everyone who joined these forums at some point, and got discouraged by the negativity and left after a while (or even got literally scared off): I'm sorry.

I wasn't good enough at encouraging people to be kinder, and removing people who refuse to be kind. Encouraging people is hard, and removing people creates conflict, and I hate conflict... so that's why I wasn't better at it.

I was a very, very sensitive teen. The atmosphere of this forum as it is now, if it had existed in 1996, would probably have upset me far more than it would have helped.

I can handle quite a lot of negativity and even abuse now, but that isn't the point. I want to help people. I want to help the people who need it the most, and I want to help people like the 1996 version of me.

I'm still figuring out the best way to do that, but as it is now, these forums are doing more harm than good, and I can't keep running them.

Thank you to the few people who have tried to understand my point of view so far. I really, really appreciate you guys. You are beautiful people.

Everyone else: If after everything I've said so far, you still don't understand my motivations, I think it's unlikely that you will. We're just too different. Maybe someday in the future it might make sense, but until then, there's no point in arguing about it. I don't have the time or the energy for arguing anymore. I will focus my time and energy on people who support me, and those who need help.

The forums are mostly read-only and are in a maintenance/testing phase, before being permanently archived. Please use this time to get the contact details of people you'd like to keep in touch with. My contact details are here.

Please do not make a mirror copy of the forums in their current state - things will still change, and some people have requested to be able to edit or delete some of their personal info.

Justification for War

Can any of you guys thing of a song or movie or article or anything that shows the US trying to justify a war morally? War should be after 1975-ish. (Such as the Gulf War)

Re: Justification for War

Listen to "Killing in the Name" by Rage Against the Machine.

Hope that helps.


Or "War?" By System of a Down.

Also, I just realized I spelled "bear" wrong in my sig. I changed it, but, how disgraceful...

Re: Justification for War

What about that one song that sprouted up around Vietnam? I know it's in the 60's (?) but it was pretty cool. Went like:

WAR
HUH
YEAh
WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR
ABSOLUTELY
NOTHING
AH HAOW HAOW HAOW

or something

Re: Justification for War

I believe that song is by Edwin Starr. Not 100% sure though.

Re: Justification for War

The best declaration of war ever Smile To bad it wasn't real Laugh

"My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes."

Re: Justification for War

War helps control the population. And sometimes it brings down totalitarian dictatorships.
