This sentence sums up my entire college career.[/QUOTE]
It's asinine to put us in groups anyway. We'll be in our own classrooms as teachers, coming together only to talk about teaching strategies and things like that. The only reason they did is because we have too many students and not enough education teachers. There should be 15 or so of us in a class. We're huge--40 or so people per class in this Block's section.
They're all perfectly nice girls... just not so great on the correspondence. We present on Wednesday, and no one's responded to the emails I sent out yesterday or today. There's just no fucking excuse. This is the one thing I hate about my major--I'm surrounded by fucking girls... girly girls with baby fever and an obsession with pedicures and boutiques. I fit in nowhere.[/QUOTE]
What's your major? Ovaries?[/QUOTE]
No, she's trying to get her "MRS"... that's what they used to accuse women of in the 50's anyway, if they went to college.

80% of the girls you would meet are airheads, bubble. I pulled that number out of my ass hahaha.
CG, I know how you feeeeeeel. I was the only girl in my 4 ed classes that I took that didn't have an engagement ring. One girl even frikkin brought her toddler to class one night! The professor was so annoyed!
But on to a more current rant: People have no respect for your parking spaces. Yea, they aren't really assigned, but GOD DAMN I have parked there almost every day!! SHE KNOWS THAT IS MY SPOT!!!!
OH, and why is the janitor cleaning my room in the AMs now?

And, you know, I have no beef with chicks who are married, engaged, or have kids. But I always feel like I get work piled on top of me because I'm not planning some frilly princess wedding or taking care of a kid. I shouldn't have to suffer for waiting until I've graduated to do all that.
Another thing that bothers me is how so many of these people just revel in their ignorance. When they don't know something they should, it's like they're offended that the information exists and didn't have the courtesy to crawl into their head. They just giggle and say, "How should I know that???" instead of fucking figuring it out. Ohhhh, how I hate it. Sometimes I laugh at my own ignorance too, but how can someone be so blissful when they're going to be teaching children and don't know what the word "interrogative" means? :waah:

because they are taking classes to learn what they should know when they're going to be teaching kids and you should only be really worried about these kinds of things if they don't know these things and are being paid to teach children

Minor rant, but I'm finding myself with less and less time for the forum recently. I mean it's a good thing that I'm getting work and spending time on things I like and so on. But I do kinda miss the place. And it means I have to leave debates just as I'm getting started. I had a lot more to say in the healthcare thread that I just never got a chance to.
Nothing makes it more obvious who the assholes are, then when a bus is full and there are thirty people standing but 4 or 5 of the people who are sitting STILL have their backpacks/purses/whateverthefuck on the seat beside them. :angry:
WHY YES I AM AT SCHOOL TODAY HOW DID YOU GUESS :angry:

I had no problem calling people out on that shit when I had to ride a school shuttle. Assholes.
You know what makes me insane? I mean just fills me with enough rage to choke a kitten? These posts:
or
You know why? Because of the intention behind it. When I see this, the poster drops so far in my esteem as to be painful for a moment. See, this post has exactly one intention: to express that the poster and his/her opinion is superior to your own. It's a completely onanistic effort devoid of any real meaning. I actually value this opinion less that those of racists, people who oppose gay marriage, religious terrorist....take your fucking pick, because as wrongheaded and stupid those people are, I can at least acknowledge that their purpose is noble. They want the world to be a better place, and just disagree with me about how to best go about it. The only reason for these opinions however, beyond blatant egoism, is to suck a potential moment of joy out of someone's life. There is no greater purpose, no good to be had or done by it. It's there to take away. Nothing more. And the people who do it piss me off more than anything anyone has ever said in a political thread.
I just failed my driver's test for the third time and my oven isn't heating properly so I can't eat and fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck I am pissed off.
I agree with this 100%.
As for my own rant, I think I might have to look for a new job. Getting 20-25 hours a week after a good month of 30+. Manager training stores suck.
I recently posted a sort-of "old joke is old" post in the PvP vs PA batman debate.
I can promise you that my intention was more along the lines of "Kurts is a hack!"
As for my rant, my paternal grandmother died a couple of days ago. Bleh
I agree on the latter (although not the insane-with-rage part). I see it used rarely as an actual informative statement, but more often than not it just means "I'm so awesome I heard someone tell me that joke before you did." No one gives a shit.
On the former, I don't have a problem with that. One person thinks something is funny, and another person expresses a different opinion about it. That's the forum.
Also, condolences, Tin.

My sympathies to you and your family, Tin.

It depends on the context of the first one for me. I mean, if someone posted a horribly sad story and someone else responded saying how funny they thought it was, I can understand saying that.
More often than not though, it's just like how funsize said. They just want to make themselves look better by claiming a superior sense of humor. It's basic trolling that adds nothing. It's the use of anyone which really gets to me, because it adds an underhanded insult to whoever made the first post that resulted in the flame. It basicaly says "people with a good sense of humor, like me, don't find this funny. People who do find this funny are inferior to me"
It's similar to when someone will post "____ show is bad, and people who like it are morons" which I just can't stand.
For my own rant, my computer is acting weird again. It's moving letters around and adding spaces as I type.
this is wha it looks lik if i type and don't edit anything out. it's taking lettes and adding it to the front of the curserand moving them all along. reit
Yeah, I take your point. There is a rampant "My opinion is both fact and awesome" attitude around here.

*grrr* Stupid Comcast. They've made Cartoon Network into a digital station so I can't get it without a cable box now.
I got this yesterday.
In the mail.
:waah:
In the mail.
:waah:
You can probably get a refund for that, seeing as how somebody fucked up.I got this yesterday.
In the mail.
:waah:
Nobody fucked up. I'm an eternal member. I can go every year without cost.
If you don't show up and claim your badge, they mail it to you every year. The years I can't make it, I'm reminded of how much I suck when the badge arrives a couple of weeks later.

Ahh... gotcha. Still, it's got The Goon on it. That's pretty cool.

Come on, project partner #3. Take a little initiative. I know your half of the project's partner is out of town, but that doesn't mean you can't make a simple outline or something to go over when she gets back. I'm not going to hold your damn hand. I'm busy with my own shit.
When you have 30 pages of material to make a simple, 15-minute presentation on a teaching model... with headings in the article that serve as the main themes... there's no excuse for confusion.. well, not if you've made it through 3 years of college without failing. Read it. Obtain the main points. Add related bullet points to main points. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes... It's a very simple recipe.

If this person is like the countless students that I've had the pleasure of interacting with in my three years, she's probably looking at the wrong recipe. Her recipe card probably reads something like:
1 - Fill casserole dish with wine.
2 - Drink from casserole dish.
3 - Repeat until drunk
4 - Make bad decisions*
*note: step 4 can be supplemented with 'disappoint everyone you know' depending on taste.

I guess I'll be getting an external hard drive sooner than I thought.

She uses at least one can of hairspray per day. Maybe it's affecting her brain... you know, as well as the casserole dish filled with what is most likely box wine.Nah, but I finally got fed up and just sent her an outline to use. At least this way we're guaranteed to get an A or at least a high B.
Ugh. No. NO!
One of my friends, who I've known since before I can remember, has been struggling to get a job after going to school to become a millwright. I'm talking to him now, and he's just about ready to give up.
His plan B is to go into visual arts school.
Now, his girlfriend is in the fine arts school in my hometown. She can draw a pretty picture, and I like her as a human being, but I can't respect her as an 'artist.' For all her pretty pictures, she has nothing to say, and since art to me is communicative ... it's completely devoid of merit.
He could only be worse. If you knew them, I think you would understand.
It just frustrates me that these people can consider themselves artists. Perhaps it's conceited, but they don't deserve to. Not from where I stand.

I'm on the fence about kids. But I'd gladly give you mine and then just adopt. I've always wanted to adopt... more than I've ever wanted my own biological child.One girl I had a crush on a few months back just told me she sent a love letter to another girl. >.> I'm not really that hurt by it, but it still sucks. :/ Hey, at least I still got her nudie pics!
Trade you? *wants a child*
Ugh. No. NO!
Fortunately for the world, you are not the judge of what is art and what is not.
