I wanted to make sure everyone knows: I'm boycotting all my classes. No matter what.
I don't agree with the mission of this school, and I'm being held here against my will! So I'm officially on strike in protest of your unjust policies!
[It's true, as was pointed out to him: if he's protesting, he should let everyone know about it!
He's still not sure about the hunger strike part of his plan, as he needs to eat a lot. But he boycotted Thanksgiving, so that's a start.]

I know that! Technically, they are. But I don't want them to be.

Those people don't care about that! Some of them even want an apocalypse.

As for the powerful mutants, isn't that what this school also tries to deal with?
text
They're a small percentage, but they can do more damage than anyone else. Some of them are as dangerous as nuclear weapons. Only take one of them could wipe out whole cities.
I don't have any reason to believe they're helping. They're training mutants to fight.
text
So that means all of them, even the non dangerous and peaceful ones need to be wiped out? I could make some comparisons to that sort of thinking... can you guess what they are?
In defence and how to control themselves. You might notice that if you went to class.
no subject
Can you guess how wrong you are? I don't think mutants should be wiped out! I think the dangerous ones should be registered and monitored to protect people. All people.
I don't want to kill innocent people. So any comparison you would make would be as wrong as the ones I've heard here already.
I'm not going to go to class. And I'm not going to learn to use my power! I want it taken away.
no subject
That's where it starts, but then it changes, it grows away from the ideals and feeds off the fear of those in control. The moment you mark a person as different, as other, it all goes downhill. It starts off as protection, and then it leads to oppression and bigotry.
I don't doubt you in that, but the road to hell is paved with good intentions after all. Instead a society where all people feel safe and have no reason to be against one another is more desirable.
Bit hard to rewrite genetic code isn't it? So wouldn't it be better to get an education and to learn not to be dangerous?
no subject
This is about making people feel safe.
There might be a medicine that can help. Science can do a lot. And they're learning more every year. Or there might even be a mutation that can get rid of powers, we don't know. I believe we might find a cure.
It's different for me. I can't learn that stuff. And I don't want to!

I would rather people put their efforts into curing cancer. But I can assure you, the sort of thing you speak of is hardly any time soon. And I would rather that sort of thing wasn't pursued too much.
Why not? Most of these classes are simple basic education. History, literature, math... those are all important things to know. As for not being dangerous... wouldn't you just be a problem like what you want to wipe out? Maybe you should be euthanized?
no subject
What are you talking about? In this country, we're on all kinds of lists. We have social security numbers. Almost everyone's listed. It won't be arbitrary. It will be identifying threats.
You don't know what people can do. Humans are amazing. They don't need to rely on some kind of special power to do great things. And it doesn't have anything to do with cancer research, because scientists don't just research one thing. They study everything. Researching curing mutations could lead to other discoveries, that's how science works. There are people with harmful mutations who want to be cured, but I guess you don't care about them.
I can't trust these people, so I don't trust their classes.
Maybe I should! What's wrong with that!
no subject
Those lists and these lists are hardly the same. For one, your social security number doesnt say anything more than you are a citizen with the rights of a citizen. This list they propose is the gateway for taking away rights.
I know humans are amazing, I'm a product of amazing after all. But research takes time and money, splitting the focuse takes away from others. Not to mention using "cure" implies too much.
If thats the case I pitty you, I would never want to die, in fact I would rather be immortal.
no subject
There's nothing that science doesn't research! And that's the way it should be, to increase human knowledge of everything. Of course they're going to research mutants. And it is a disorder and it should be cured.
[He's sure that's what his dad would have said!]
No one can live forever. No one should. It's part of life that we die. It's natural and right.
no subject
Do you understand how research works at all? Research is expensive, things must be prioritized and what is prioritized is usually up to the person funding it. For example I would prefer my companies research projects that are beneficial to me or can at least make back what the cost and plus some.
And yet our lives are short and change takes a long time. I would much rather live longer than natural to guide the world twards prosperity than leave a half finished job someone else will probably botch.
