My Conscience I hate the education system. IT SUCKS! It badly needs reform. Take a look at the way tests are taken. We go to school to learn generalized skills and to be able to apply them in a real world setting. In my math class my teacher doesn't allow us to use calculators on tests. It is ridiculous. He thinks by using the calculator we are cheating. In a real world setting, we would be able to use calculators, formulas, etc. Tests are supposed to analyze whether we understand the material and how to apply it. Why should we have to memorize formulas and have to not use a calculator. We should be allowed to use any resources at our disposal. As long as you are able to answer the question within the allotted time, time constraints are teaching real world ideas, you should be able to notes, written formulas, and a calculator. Also, how do calculators (I wouldn't mind even using a scientific calculator over my graphing one) make you a cheater? Well I can sorta understand him. Some more advance calculators have all letters, and allows us to save stuff. Some of my classmates that have those often make little notes with the answers to the questions, or the formulas that we should have memorised, and use them to cheat.

I can understand not allowing graphing calculators, although not allowing a small scientific one is kind of stupid. A lot of kids will download programs to graphing calculators that do a lot of the work for them.

SoundDoctrine I hate it when people do this. (not this thread). When people pointlessly quote themselves with nothing to say. People could easily press the "edit" button, but they choose the "quote" button instead. But that doesn't annoy me as much as the people who either quote themselves without saying anything, and the people who quote other's without saying even a ,"QFT". It's really annoying.

'm getting tired of the posts in the underage adoption thread that go, "Well you're mother's wrong to force that on you but YOU SHOULD KEEP YOUR LEGS CLOSED! scream "
Seriously, WTF? If her own mother doesn't get a say in her body neither can you.
But let me guess, it's just your "opinion," right? stare
Oh yeah, and the "your mom has ultimate control over you so stop whining!" posts. Yeah, would it be okay for her mom to arrange her rape? After all, you did say she has control over her daughter's body.

Right now my biggest issue with the school system is that I would have been assigned to a school in the next town, forcing me to get up at 4am to catch the bus. I have to do that anyway because I'm an IB student and the only IB school in the area is in that next town, but it's ridiculous how my brothers have to go to a school over there when we live across the street from one. They're going to change that next year so that students will be assigned to schools closest to them, but because of my current education that won't affect me.

Warning, this rant might contain strong language, mature topics, a reference to the a**s, and yo' momma jokes. Children/Adults/Elders should not be permitted to read this. Thank You
The next person that tells me that smoking will kill me, I'm going to ******** stab them in the face with a cigarette and tell them," It's killing you more then it's killing me!" Eventually I will die. I know this. I hate it, but I know it will happen. Quiting smoking will not make me immortal. It might expand my life a little, but I'll die either way. And what's with these non-smoking areas? Everywhere is a non-smoking area. MY HOME IS A NON-SMOKING AREA! The only place that isn't non-smoking is somewhere between my right a** cheek and my left! The ********? If you don't won't smoke around you, then move you lazy sack of s**t!

BARRRR!!!!!!!!
One thing that pisses me off is politcaly correctness. But what pisses me off more is when people want me to be politically correct, and then use it as a weapon when I don't. Just because I don't use the words Some, Most, Not All, Sometimes, or even Rarely, I'm racist, sexist, a bigot, and sometimes a homophobe. Get a life, and take that peice of iron rod out of your a**! I know it's not everyone, and they know it's not everyone I'm reffering to, but you seem to still want that there, or else my entire arguement is null. And I'm not going to put up with bullshit. I'm not going to say," Not all, but some." before every accusation I make. If I think most of them do something, I'll say it outright. Stop being such a p***k!!
Thank you.
EDIT: ******** this s**t! I really thought people would at least try and move away from political correctness on Gaia. I lost a lot of faith in a couple people a little while ago. You can try and hide behind the masses, but it won't work forever. Sometimes, you have to play the bad guy by speaking what you know to be truth.
EDIT: I think someone here lost his cool. Hint: It might have been me. 3nodding stressed

I have simultaneous rants. One Gaian, two non-Gaian. Gaian in nature: I absolutely detest trolls. I know I've said that before, but I'm going to elaborate. I studied the Encyclopaedia Dramatica very well, because all they are is intelligent trolls. It's a wiki chronicling many different kinds of troll attack methods, and from the site, I developed my own response technique, which is to simply troll the troll. Last time it happened, I got blocked by the b***h. I know how trolls work, and I know how to beat them, but they still piss me off, because they do this ******** s**t just to be jackasses. What the ******** happened to "for the good of mankind"? Non-Gaian part 1: I detest my best friend's parents. I can't wait for the two of us to get our apartment, just so I can tell them to ******** off. Non-Gaian part 2: I hate how she can do this to me. I also hate how I let it happen.

The thing is, in real life you would have the formula in front of you if you didn't know it. The biggest part is knowing how to apply the formula. He won't even allow scientific calculators. It is ridiculous. I'm spending 5 minutes trying to figure out the factors of 132 when I could be spending my time actually applying the steps.

I don't wanna brag, but I'm not a stupid person. Infact, I'm quite far from it(Even though I do use the words wanna and ain't alot). But I don't want to goto college. In fact, once I finish high school, it's nowhere on my list of things to do. But the last thing I need is a couple thousand teachers, coworkers, peers, and adults including my parents telling me I'm stupid for not going to a college. But the truth is, I don't need to go to a college. I don't plan on raising a family or running for governer. I don't need a 50-60 thousand dollar paycheck like families would require. I'm that guy who lives his life day by day. You know that old man still rockin out at 2:00am in the morning? I'm him, before he found extacy and crabs.
And truthfully, I'm a lot smarter then a lot of people who went to college. I use my free time to learn. I don't need pay 10,000 a year for someone to tell me what I already know. That's all school is. It's not about learning anymore. It's about other people determining you're smart or not. If it was really about learning, then this multiple guess would not be there. Or it would all be a self-pace kinda thing.

I also don't know why people like to act like idiots just to be idiots. It astounds me to see that there will be people out there who just want to make people angry, and over the internet for that matter. I'm getting tired of it too, and it's getting hard to tell them off in a nice way. I've been away and it hasn't gotten any better. I think I should take a longer break this time, just stay away from it completely. You guys could handle it anyways, and wouldn't need me around. So I think I'll just make sure to drop a few comments here, and there on the guilds.
