That's so asinine. Creepypasta was made for people who, big surprise, like reading Creepypastas. I get the levity bit, I do, but come on! And ooh, you read a whole 23 chapter book? I'm sorry, but I'm not in the mood to entertain something like this silly post. Good for you, you're reading for pleasure. That is great, I mean that. But lets talk about listing something totally banal. It's like saying "I'm a literature afficianado" then putting out a list including Catcher in the Rye, Nineteen Eighty-Four, and To Kill A Mockinjay. Three of the most basic books anybody in the whole entire world reads.

Of course people read for pleasure. It may not be as prevelant but they do, it seems totally ridiculous to me to say that that is the reason people are choosing not to spell, or are otherwise not taught to respect the language.

Lets examine for a moment the fact that the entire public education system is essentially for state indoctrination. It's not just English as a subject. Look at history, the public school system either chooses not to teach real, important, history or teaches it completely ass backwards. I can't even begin to list how many times I've heard erroneous versions of history, like oversimplifications of the history behind Columbus, or the Civil War, or even figures like Frederick Douglass and Malcolm X. It's completely insane. It's a gradual dumbing down of an entire system, namely the state-run system. Agendas and all that other foolishness completely aside, children aren't learning to even think critically like they ought to.

And seriously? "Pastas that say 'this is my first pasta, what do you think' need to get deleted"? You have got to be joking. I posted a pasta which has good reviews (two of them, not a lot of exposure) and I made a blog post asking for critique. Should my story be deleted? Even though, for the most part, it is grammatically sound, has good pacing, etc? Way to oversimplify the topic, way to completely degrade and generalize a huge margin of stories on this website.
