Random Rants #XXIV - The Angry Mob

[ZeletDude]

I just spent three hours volunteering at a Latin Festival thing, I am exhausted..

 

[Heretic_Cata]

The catholic school I went to showed us pictures of aborted babies when we were 16 or 17.

The particularly religious teacher who showed them to us is now the principal.

Also: I can't sleep.

That'll teach you boys to stop having abortions.

 

[Heretic_Cata]

Can no longer see. Must go to bed.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Don't have any "proper" food in the house and as a result have the runs

 

[classical_hero]

They only teach you stuff from the New Testament (this year, I'm learning about a specific chapter), but I heard in Year 11, they teach you abortion, and tell you that it's wrong...

What else are they going to teach you?

 

[Tee Kay]

Every time I made a tiny mistake - say I forgot to turn the lights off - people act like I've killed someone.

 

[Masada]

people are like that, ignore it.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

That bloody Darth Benedict is here slagging off athiests while we're forced to fund his visit. Grr!

 

[civplayah]

You're having it easy.

I'm used to easier schools, though.

What kind of stuff do you have to do as far as projects?

 

[Arakhor]

It's a state visit by the Pope. A certain measure of that inevitable.

As long as we're talking about teachers, my government teacher said Cuba is communist. When I told him no, it's really not; there is no --- he cut me off right there, with a complete "END OF DISCUSSION" attitude.

:wallsmash:

also --- new Health teacher has a poster on his door. It says: Mind-altering substances are unnatural and unhealthy!

%$!@ing stupid teachers. If you lie about something that kids trust your word on 100%, how can anyone take anything from you seriously?

I was talking to a friend about a hot girl with whom we share classes, and I mentioned seeing her coming in after cross-country in a tee-shirt and shorts above the knee. This excited me greatly. Is this the toll uniforms take on all men?

 

[Shylock]

Hit on a girl who is working for one of those cause things they bother people with at campus. Got her number but she didn't respond to me asking her out. Turns out she has a boyfriend anyway.

I guess that's ok. Nothing personal, just business.

Did. Past tense.

The usual. Reports, posters, etc. In Years 7-8 generally what happened was we would get a bunch of questions and we just have to answer them either as a nonformal report or a poster. So, not difficult or anything, but can be time-consuming, and we'd get 3 or more projects due at around the same time (and we'd get 2-3 weeks to do them, not six). In any case, they're not very carefully marked and teachers often gave full marks as long as you answer all the questions (my year-8 geography teacher gave me a "project" where you have to "research" a few facts about 7-8 countries (questions along the line of "what's the capital of Madagascar"). Thinking this was just too boring I submitted an in-depth 52-pages report covering just about everything one needs to know about the countries we have to research. I got marks deducted for doing too much work). VCE assignments (Years 11-12) though are rather different...

It is a commonly accepted belief that Cuba is a communist country.

also --- new Health teacher has a poster on his door. It says: Mind-altering substances are unnatural and unhealthy!

Well, he's right about the unhealthy bit (I assume he's not talking about those used as anesthesia).

Don't most girls dress in booty shorts and tees? Where do you live?

 

[Tani Coyote]

Cell phone. Floor.

Self-explanatory.

Less than a week in, it's broken. God damn it, fate.

Must be a sign from God he doesn't approve of me using a phone now. I got by without it before, I can do it again!

 

[Arakhor]

Either that or it's a sign that you're hopelessly clumsy. Try getting a larger phone

 

[Joecoolyo]

Get one of those army phone things, I have one, and it's awesome
