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.

How are you here against your will? I was under the impression everyone was given a choice of being here or not.

And why won't they let you leave? Technically they can't do that unless they're your legal guardian you know.

And why is that? Is there a better situation out there?

And why is the school keeping you from them?

So you also believe in protecting humanity against mutants, despite having a mutation?

And how exactly would humanity be destroyed? Also why for that matter. I know I have no interest in that sort of thing, it would only bring about an apocalypse which wouldn't do.

A small percentage of the whole, and make no more than everyone else who fights each other. It's also easy to lump everything into one category, but that's not really how it works. We don't live in a world of humans and mutants really. Every human is divided by their culture and upbringing, every mutant as well. Other than some having outstanding powers, really we're all the same deep down.

As for the powerful mutants, isn't that what this school also tries to deal with?

How so? I think it's quite the same. If you think about how people relate based on culture and race differences, it's very similar.

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.

I can see where some would call themselves a new species. Personally I like to think I've been blessed with additional skills. It really depends on your point of view. But then my family was very supportive of my gifts. But then, I suppose my family is also the sort to say this sort of thing is a right given to us by our heritage.

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?

I don't know, but I have an educated guess. History tends to repeat itself after all. As for people getting away with murder... that's everyone isn't it? Hundreds and thousands of people all over the world get away with murder, mutant or otherwise. Proper justice departments and law enforcement is what curbs that, not arbitrary lists of people because of something they can't control about themselves. And of course everyone's afraid of going on a list, that sort of action has never led to anything good.

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?

Which is why people should educate themselves and watch the signs so they dont repeat things.

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.

You're confusing physical power with political power.... Those in power are more to fear when power is left unchecked.

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.
