Random Rants VII: Why do they ALWAYS do that?!

[choxorn]

The weather, just now, is sunny again. Of course, it doesn't get sunny until school starts.

Oh weather, why must you mock us so?

What exactly is a Study Hall?

What exactly is a Study Hall?

It's a class period in which there is no actual teaching. You're supposed to use it for work and study purposes, hence the name, but they generally become dens of boredom/goofing off. I'm glad my school doesn't use them.

well... its depends on the school.... our study hall is when you sit in the library while a teacher watches over you.

you're supposed to do work, but if you talk quietly its fine, but you can get into big trouble if you make a scene.

its usually a waste of time, because its no credits what-so-ever, and even like a really REALLY easy class is more credits than it, and you can do pretty much the same thing

So you are forced to stay in a room with nobody teaching and, just... spend a certain time there? That's it?

That sounds terrible.

I see... That's also terrible, in my opinion.

it is quite terrible and useles...


I mean... if you really don't need to take anything else, its nice to have a period where you pretty much do nothing but sit for 45 minutes (at least that's how long my classes are in high school)

but other than that, it stinks

My spanish teacher is impossible to understand. She just stands there and speaks high level spanish at us really really fast and expects us to follow it. And then she gets mad when we don't do everything. She won't repeat her directions in english unless like more than half the class complains either.

And she pays attention to what we're doing so no homework time

Well, mine is just annoying because she looks for ANY errors in our papers. She gets pissed if our papers have even ONE error in them and goes on a rampage about how the British people are super strict and demand a specific type of language used on the examinations and how they're very picky and so on.

Everyone got an A last year (in AS) and A* two years ago (in IGCSE), so she's just being a general [female dog].

I can't hit high notes, and I have a singing test tomorrow on either exercise three or eight (professor said he'd 'surprise' us) and one has two notes i can't hit and the other has three, and it would be impossible for me to bring it down an octave.

I've practiced allllllll week (while no one was home) to no avail.

Spoiler :

Tracy says (10:49 PM):
i'm sick of hearing about Palin.
I Don't Exist says (10:49):

Tracy says (10:49 PM):
PLEASE TELL ME YOU KNOW WHO PALIN IS.
I Don't Exist says (10:50 PM):
what?
how would i know who palin is?
Tracy says (10:50 PM):
*dies*
ahhhhhhhhh
Tracy says (10:51 PM):
you uninformed people
sarah palin
I Don't Exist says (10:51 PM):
we cant know everything
Tracy says (10:51 PM):
mccain's vice
you SHOULD know
how can you not know?
it was announced last friday.
I Don't Exist says (10:51 PM):
because i care more about a blade of dead grass than mccain...
Tracy says (10:52 PM):
obama person?
I Don't Exist says (10:52 PM):
id like to say im a non-republican person
Tracy says (10:52 PM):
...
that's vague.
I Don't Exist says (10:52 PM):
oh yeah our political system is screwed up beyond repair
Tracy says (10:52 PM):
and even then
i don't like democrats
Tracy says (10:53 PM):
but i know Biden is Obama's VP
I Don't Exist says (10:54 PM):
i just wish someone that would actually be able to handle the position of president would run
Tracy says (10:54 PM):
i'll bet you don't even know all the things a president has to do
i don't think anyone has the right to criticize if they don't bother to learn
Tracy says (10:55 PM):
and you can't change what you don't even understand or know since you're all about changing the political system.
I Don't Exist says (10:55 PM):
they have to make sure they play their role in the checks and balances
Tracy says (10:55 PM):
that's vague
I Don't Exist says (10:56 PM):
act as the model american citizen with our people and a model citizen with other nations
the head diplomat
Tracy says (10:56 PM):
that's vague
I Don't Exist says (10:56 PM):
the leader of the military
Tracy says (10:56 PM):
you're quoting the subtitles of the government book..the chapter on the president. you don’t even understand what you’re saying.
I Don't Exist says (10:56 PM):
does the book lie?
Tracy says (10:57 PM):
all you can do is list a few big things
you can't go into depth
because you never learned
high school doesn't teach you that
I Don't Exist says (10:57 PM):
nope i cant become president so i saw no point in learning exactly what the president does
Tracy says (10:58 PM):
...
that's ridiculous.
I Don't Exist says (10:58 PM):
what is ridiculous?
Tracy says (10:58 PM):
it doesn't matter
I Don't Exist says (10:58 PM):
it does to me
I Don't Exist says (10:59 PM):
is it ridiculous to think that i cant become president?
Tracy says (10:59 PM):
no
i think it’d be absolutely ridiculous for you to run for president. if America wants failure, they’ll nominate you. you talk about how screwed up the political system is and you hardly know anything about it.
Tracy says (11:00 PM):
but that doesn't even matter
i wasn’t talking about that
I Don't Exist says (11:00 PM):
i also dont think that the people have been president know what the president is supposed to do
Tracy says (11:01 PM):
i still think you have no right to criticize
I Don't Exist says (11:01 PM):
because they sure havent been model citizens
Tracy says (11:01 PM):
you only hear the bad things
I Don't Exist says (11:01 PM):
yep
Tracy says (11:01 PM):
they don't announce the great things on the media
Tracy says (11:02 PM):
everyone's waiting for the president to screw up
that's all anyone ever does
they wait for someone to screw up
and then they attack
that's the world
I Don't Exist says (11:02 PM):
it doesnt matter, if they do bad things they arent a good president
Tracy says (11:02 PM):
you're a bad person
but that doesn't mean i don't want to learn about you
you do bad things
Tracy says (11:03 PM):
we're human
we make mistakes
none of us are perfect
but no one gets that
everyone likes to criticize, even i like to criticize, and it's not even fair.
nobody could possibly understand what someone else is going through
the decisions they have to make on a daily basis
Tracy says (11:04 PM):
the things they see everyday
you couldn't possibly know what the presidents truly do
all you know it what everyone said on Fox the second the president screws up
no one concentrates on the good
it's always on the bad
I Don't Exist says (11:04 PM):
mostly
so i shouldnt commit adultry...bad me
Tracy says (11:04 PM):
that comment was completely irrelevant, congrats
I Don't Exist says (11:05 PM):
but i saw a really nice national debt graph from about 92 to 04
clinton brought the national debt into negative numbers
Tracy says (11:06 PM):
and that's the only thing you know he did
I Don't Exist says (11:06 PM):
yep
Tracy says (11:06 PM):
you fail.
no offence
but you fail.
I Don't Exist says (11:06 PM):
thats all i know
thats all they said
Tracy says (11:11 PM):
who's going to stop history from repeating itself?
I Don't Exist says (11:11 PM):
nothing
Tracy says (11:11 PM):
that's what we're supposed to do
we're supposed to learn from the past
if you don't know it
how can you learn from it?
that's right, you can't
and you won't
because you choose to be the uninformed citizen that criticizes what they don't know.
I Don't Exist says (11:11 PM):
why do you assume i know nothing of the past?
I Don't Exist says (11:12 PM):
i dont even watch the news
I Don't Exist says (11:12 PM):
all i watch are those ridiculous campaign comercials
I Don't Exist says (11:13 PM):
i just love seeing how one american treats another
Tracy says (11:13 PM):
...
i don't want to talk about this anymore.
it's pointless.
I Don't Exist says (11:13 PM):
thats what im trying to get at, im uninformed because its pointless, if im informed thats not going to change anything
Tracy says (11:14 PM):
no
talking to you about it is pointless
I Don't Exist says (11:14 PM):
both are pointless
Tracy says (11:14 PM):
whatever you say

I'm not the most informed American voter out there, but at least I try to stay informed and try to learn about the country I live in and how the government works. I can't stand some of my friends sometimes.

And yes, I know I handled that horribly and my arguments were awful and all that good stuff. No need to tell me. The rant is about both of us.

NEVER talk politics with your friends. I've learned that more than enough.

 

[Firstlady]

NEVER talk politics with your friends. I've learned that more than enough.

Where were you an hour ago?!

But in all seriousness, I'm definately going to remember that.
Thanks.

 

[silver 2039]

Thats the most serious ******** conversation I;ve seen in a while. Were both of you trying to be serious or were you doing it on purpose? Like me and my friend sometimes have long conversations of complete and utter BS because it amuses us, but we're not serious about them. Are you?

 

[Mise]

I talk about politics with my friends, but only with people that agree with me, or with people who are open-minded and honest enough to accept that they're wrong and I'm right.

 

[choxorn]

The only politics you should ever talk to your friends about involve little but saying the words "F*** Bush".

 

[Bigfoot3814]

The only politics you should ever talk to your friends about involve little but saying the words "F*** Bush".

Or 'X politician is . .. .. .. .in up!'

WHY DOES NOBODY IN ROMANIA USE THE CORRECT NAME FOR UNDERSCORE?

For the last time, this is an underline and this is an underscore: _________ Is it so hard to remember?

People won't even believe me when I tell them, I swear they look at me like if I'm the last idiot left on the face of the Earth.... "how can you not know even such a basic thing as this "_____" being an underline?". Some even laugh condescendingly at what a stupid thing I could say! No, it's not an underline, you @#@*&Y*$&%!

EVERY TIME I need to tell my email address to someone, I have to repeat it at least twice!! (it has 2 underscores in it) Why is it so hard to use the correct word? Some people haven't even heard of an underscore, and are convinced that that is called an underline.

A friend of mine just got a new email address that is "underline_hisname(at)something.com", and when someone asks what his address is, he says "underline underline hisname". NO! It's "underline UNDERSCORE hisname"!!

I'm anxious of the future.

He was serious, and I consciously flip-flopped between ridiculous and serious. You can kind of tell where it changes, well I guess if you know me you can. I don't think he caught when I was being absolutely absurd, but he's pretty unobservant even in real life.

But I do know what you mean. I've got a friend I do that with for sake of being ********.

 

[salty mud]

The girl I asked for talking to never turned up, with a forgivable excuse. She said she would like to see me tommorow, and when I asked for some of teh hugz groucho she said, quite flatly, "no." I hope she was joking.

My landlord's lawyer basically told it where I can stick it, meaning that I am out of an apartment, and we are prob. going to go to court.

I guess the lawyer talked my landlord out of helping me out...
