Things that make you go hmmm....

So here i sit in class continuing to here other kids talk about how bad Detroit is and how they never go down there or never will go down there. Its stupidity like this that makes me worry about what the world or maybe just America will come to. How can you live soo close to this city and only have opinion formed by what you hear in the news or read online from other biased reports. These type of stupidity really make me ask myself what the world is coming to and where its going, now i dont claim to be the smartest man or the most exposed person in the world, but i do like to think that i have a pretty good idea of whats out there. But listening to the comments and questions that some people ask or blurt out just baffle me, are people really that stupid or are they just so sheltered in their ways that theyll never change?
