Madagascar’s Eerie Forest of Stone

With stones rising 220 feet from the ground, Tsingy de Bemaraha Strict Nature Reserve in Madagascar casts a landscape unlike any other. Composed of large limestone structures, the stone forest was once submerged completely underwater, some 200 million years ago. Today, the razor-sharp formations spread across 230 square miles, creating a dramatic scene.

    CharismaticKid Joking about replacing this with school, lol I mean, sure, school is useless, but college is good for evolving your mind and getting a degree (which is pretty reliant and necessary). You’re “supporting” a channel that has very limited “education”, including 1-3 min of trivia, destinations, and personal struggles. Sure, it’s good for a quick look, but they’re not exceptional for thorough research. They’re only a starting point to continue your curiosity about the world. Nope, I’m graduating college in fall. I never said anything about not “liking” this channel or the content it produces. You’re insecure and immature if you really think I was trying to “insult” you...I’m trying to educate you to become open-minded.

    Well it gives me a break from what learning in a classroom gives me. I am VERY open-minded to an open variety of things such as differences in cultures and I try my best to be ethical in EVERY day situations. I guess what you were saying was obfuscate. But did you forget what Grade School was like. The education system has made learning the best it can render. However as a person trying to get as much information as possible and with a CONSTANT GPA of 3.8 or higher I try to give myself opportunities not an option for some. BTW Congrats On College Grads! What College do you attend?

    CharismaticKid I’m glad you are, dude. I’ve seen hundreds of documentaries, read a ton of philosophies...among other shit. I’ve learned everything about the world without leaving my house. Well, my comment wasn’t that “random”, it was directly referencing what you said. I don’t believe in the “education system”, especially in the U.S., it’s mostly propaganda mixed with conformity (so...bullshit). Lol, my GPA in high school was a 2.7...literally didn’t do shit. Grades don’t give you opportunities, imo, you as an individual can only achieve those feats. Don’t trust highly esteemed colleges, either, they’re are full of evil and egotistical psychopaths. Thanks a lot; New Jersey City University. I don’t enjoy or care about college (since my major is art), I just want to focus what I really want, which is my story...for now.
