boy they dont know who charles dickens is or mark twain or jules verne or any of the classics of literature that they made you read as a kid.i mentioned about homer's illyad and odyssey and they shrugged their shoulders at me.
i remember that as a young teen i was aware of the stories of alexander dumas, shakespeare, cervantes saavedra and many others... i wasnt a bookworm or anything but i understood that if you didnt knew the classics that you were stupid
so i ask what the fuck they are teaching to our kids at school. my niece of 10 is reading a book in how to deal with middle school. say what? i asked them if they wanted to try any of the classics and they said that it looked boring and for old people. i kid you not.
these kids would feel lost if they lose their smartphones and PCS :(
I have a chance of getting dual citizenship with Italy. I figure, if there's a draft coming, I'd like to be able to dip out (have kids). Or, is it looked at more like betraying one's own country and all that? Opinions?
