I'll get it... relapse is above all!

The problem with the new generations is that they don't even know what extreme metal is... and as a result, they find themselves listening to bands like Suicide Silence thinking they are facing a decent band... the only one who stands out is the singer.

Are Suicide Silence good? I haven't heard the EP, but they are one of the most overrated bands to come out in the last 5/6 years...

I loved it a lot!

the only "love" film that gave me something, unforgettable clint!

for NES: I understand what you're saying, but right now I wouldn't even have the opportunity to vote, not living in Italy anymore .-.
Voting = choosing the lesser evil, unfortunately yes, but it depends on the point of view.
I believe that if not 90% but 60\70% of the population didn't vote, because they are aware of a certain type of reality underlying politics (which is called the economy), they would realize that this is the point that needs to be changed radically.
This is democracy, from my point of view, choosing or rejecting a certain type of system (for example: the school system is failing? Instead of protesting, let’s all stop going to school for 2 months, so that teachers, janitors, bus drivers, train operators cannot work anymore, and let’s see how things change…)
Give me a fair and honest economic system (let's start with state ownership, maybe) and then I will get involved in politics in this way.
Both the right and the left have silently worked on dismantling the Italian economic system, starting from the total sell-off to foreign companies of important factories, institutions, and local resources, to levels almost unimaginable before the Second World War.
And people today (like yesterday) are worried about how many women Berlusconi has slept with!

for PAOLAFRANCESCA: once again, it hasn't been understood what it means to deschool. Please read this book!
From what you write, it seems like it means something like "hooray, let's become more ignorant every day!"
No, no, and again no!
And the whole internet thing is simply an idea that the author proposes (always in his own words, we are talking about 1971) as a remedy for an empty, vague, and above all INSTITUTIONALIZED education.
And for that matter, in school I was taught that Enrico Mattei died in a plane crash and that aspartame is not harmful to health... O.O
(I hope you know who Enrico Mattei is!)

for PAOLAFRANCESCA: I have gained far more than just a "factual" culture, as you say, from the internet, and besides, what could you objectively know about me? School is untouchable, and that is very true, but if you have time to read the book and deeply understand certain arguments, you will realize that it is not about school per se, but about the system that has been built around it to "educate" people to follow certain types of rules and "myths," as the author rightly states, which are mainly the myth of the institution (whatever it may be!) and its indisputable justification from all points of view.
Is culture made at school? Yes, perhaps in my mother's generation, when studying really meant studying, when a professor had the authority and ability to stand in front of a class, and especially when the world that exists today did not exist. I changed 8 teachers (just for Italian!) between the first and second year of high school, and the same trend occurred in 3 or 4 fundamental subjects (including math, and doing a scientific course, you can only imagine…).
I am of the party that believes you gain true culture by YOURSELF, if you have the desire, the capability, and especially the time and resources; school, for me, should provide each individual with the foundations to then CHOOSE what to pursue and what not to, giving a more than ever nuanced vision of things, and I’m sorry to say, today it is absolutely not like that.
I have fond memories of school because of 2 or 3 teachers: the teacher who taught me grammar in elementary school, the professor who taught me English in middle school, and the one who taught me history/philosophy in high school (take a look at his blog: debernardi.splinder.it), but after that, nothing lasts forever.
And thank goodness I’m no longer in Italy, where the university situation is even worse…
