Kids should be forced to work in the mines

Hmm. Now you claim that education is essential to our youngsters. However, you cannot say that when they are out of school, all of them are bored. Some prefer mental stimulation rather than physical stimulation, so they watch TV or play video games. And that, in my opinion, is fine. They do not need more hard work and hard labor after they get out of school- they need more periods of relaxation. School on its own is stressful, and they deserve rewards for becoming productive members of society and gaining expertise in certain fields and learning about new things. If they wish to spend a quiet night reading a long book, they should be able to. I am not against exercise, I believe it is healthy in moderation. I believe that exercise should be an option, not a mandatory activity. Schools already have plenty of gym classes and sports for kids who want to develop strong bodies. Your proposition is simply not practical. This is slightly more reasonable that your other debates- but it still reflects your hasty generalizations about certain groups of people and your fascist state of mind. And the claim you make is still bizarre. Child labor is usually only enforced in the worst, most pitiful, least successful countries. A country such as the U.S.A. whose motto is to uphold freedom, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, would not force mandatory rock-breaking upon all youngsters. An evil country like North Korea might. But they are evil. We're not forcing all kids from the ages of 6 to 18 to work in some large scale mining production. I'm not even sure what these mines would look like- you are aware that very little mining is practiced anymore, correct? Only skilled adults are sent to work in mines, and only uranium and coal are usually brought up. As of today, we are not in the first stages of the industrial revolution anymore. Today, we're looking towards cleaner energy initiatives, like solar. For somebody like yourself who wants to save the polar ice caps, you shouldn't also endorse the large scale production of fossil fuels. Stop being contradictory. You don't need to clarify the mining schedule- I get it- but 100 days is almost one third of a whole year. Where the Hell is summer vacation? And where's the regulated school schedule? Right now, see, we have a regulated, organized school schedule. But if we make kids mine depending on their birthdays- the school schedules will be all over the place. A kid might have to work on Christmas. I mean, there should at least be a regulated mining schedule. I don't think there's a spot for one. That's twelve years of a kid's life. What a waste. We are not going to make the gulags an alternative to the mines. You know what gulags are, don't you? They're essentially a synonym with a concentration camp. Also, if all the gulags are in West Russia, where do the kids from all the other countries go? Are you talking about this mining thing in just Russia, or the whole world. I don't get it. I never knew there were any gulags in West Russia- maybe as museums, relics from before the collapse of the Soviet Union. I live in America, but I never thought Russian life was that hard. I know it's just a democracy and the weather is a little harsher. But if you have gulags up there- I think the U.N. oughta inspect those places. You're not a communist, fascist state anymore-right? I looked up West Russian gulag online and it just talks about ones from the Soviet Union. And you say you were born in 1995, well after the Soviet Union collapsed. Why you look back with nostalgia at those horrendous times is more than I can fathom. Also, gulags are torture facilities, not gymnasiums. I see- you would send your kids to the gulags if you have kids. So you're not a hypocrite. That's nice- but it still doesn't explain why you desire mandatory torture to be shoved upon every youngster on Earth. You give Russia a bad name. Mines have notoriously hard working conditions- those children will get numerous respiratory infections and they'll probably die before they reach 20. I guess all Russians will go extinct. Here's a question for you: Do these kids get paid, even? They darn well better, because otherwise, it's called slavery. What is going on in your MIND?
