FB Reaction to Strike

[Scarriere]

There's an open letter circulating on Facebook that I love regarding the Teachers strike in B.C., Canada.
It's nsfw so if you don't like f-bombs, don't read it.
Enjoy:

[Show spoiler]Pay the ****ing teachers. Shut the **** up and pay them a lot of money. Don't hesitate. Don't argue. Just suck it up and give the ****ing teachers whatever they ****ing want. An educated public commits less crime, makes more money, and has a lower birth rate. They probably even ****ing swear less often. Education is the magic ****ing bullet to get us out of the economic, political and environmental shitstorm we are about to be swimming in. Education is not just the magic ****ing bullet, it's our ONLY ****ing bullet. There are currently 7 billion people on this planet. In the year 2000, there were 6 billion. That's a BILLION extra people since Destiny's Child was a thing. Wrap your ****ing mind around that one. During Beyoncé's career, from "Bootylicious" to "Drunk in Love", the world's population increased by over 16%. (Don't blame Beyoncé, she's just trying to entertain the nice people with her music and titties.) Oh, and the oceans are about to start rising, flooding cities and wiping out entire ****ing islands over the next 50 years. It's going to happen, and we have NO IDEA how to even just SLOW IT DOWN. So we are about to have way too many people living on less and less land. How the **** do you think that's gonna work out?! Oh, and we're almost out of oil. Now obviously "the rich are going to move to the higher ground" (Geoff Berner) and start shooting anyone who comes near the compound, and religious fanatics are going to say it's God's Will or some other stupid shit, but the only hope for the rest of us is that the kids growing up today get ****ing smart, ****ing fast. We need the best ****ing teachers we can find and we need to ****ing give them whatever they ****ing want. If teachers want oral sex every thursday at lunch, we need to make that happen. I'm willing to volunteer for a couple shifts a month. If they want top hats and velvet gowns and ****ing tiaras we need to find the ****ing money and give it to them. Even if some teachers are shitty - and some of them are - at least they're showing up every day trying to make apathetic little Jimmy capable of filling out a ****ing job application at Burger Hut so that maybe he can buy a shitty car and get laid instead of robbing me the night he doesn't graduate. Hey, at least it's something. And it's a metric shit-tonne more than most of us are doing. People don't become teachers to get rich for ****'s sake. Do you know a rich teacher? Have you ever seen a teacher who owns a boat? People become teachers because they genuinely WANT to do that shitty shitty job. They actually WANT to teach your darling little ****ed up, lazy, A.D.H.D., video game addicts at least SOME of the knowledge humans have managed to gather over the last 200 000 ****ing years. And if you don't have kids, well then the next time you're out and you see a little 5 year old on a swing, you just imagine him stealing your car in 10 years. You want that? No? Well then do you wanna teach all the little potential juvenile delinquents in your neighbourhood ****ing grammar and Newton's Laws of Motion? You know… the laws that helped us figure out how to get to the ****ing MOON back when we gave a shit about doing that. Do you wanna teach that complicated, important, boring shit to a bunch of snot-nosed, disaffected children? Because if you do, I guarantee that if you don't get a decent wage, small class sizes, a winter break and 2 months off in the summer you will put a bullet through your own ****ing head.
