Suburbs are nice. It's like the city but without all the crime. XD

But crime is what makes city life worthwhile.

But crime is what makes city life worthwhile. Not when you're the one getting robbed, shot, and/or raped.

There are sickos everywhere, yes. But I'm just saying, that rural towns aren't as calm as people make them to be. Thats were alot of rapist and serial killers thrive.

^ According to what source, out of curiosity? the 'nobody' teachers who suck up to the popular kids because they wish they were popular. Some of my teachers talk and joke around with the populars , but if a more average person talks to them, they brush it off. They laugh and joke and worship anything these kids say. Don't do that. Well thats just pathetic... I found it demeaning and pathetic when other students suked up to the popular kids... but when the teacher does it... thats just sad. [/center] [/quote] I really dont know what you mean here. Wow... I had a plan verry similar to that... but not with cards. Teacher needs to L2 pay attention. You can see everything from up there. Pop quizzes really make people dread the class. I always try to sit next to the people who write big too. Why? Just do the reading when it is assigned instead of crapping before a test, and you are all good. Good teachers will form lesson plans that incorporate the readings for long term memory retention... If teachers only cared about you getting good grades, they would give you easy busy work, or give you the answers before the test... And the "Oh I dropped my pen near your desk! I'll go reach for it and casually glance at your paper on the way up." wow... the teacher either lets you get away with that, or he doesnt bother to look. The first time I observed a classrom, I was amazed at how much the teacher can see from the front of the room. Text-messages, everything. But I wont tell you about the morality of cheating... I did it in high-school. Some times, bad teachers just teach you pointless information. And I will NEVER use what I learned in science class. but I at least tried to put some effort into it. sheesh. Codes on the inside of your finger. or reprinted ingreadents for your coke label. I'm a very lazy student but I somehow manage to pull A's out from my @$$. I just cram the night before like Zenjamin said. I learn quickly so I don't need to do all this practice when I can learn it in one night. But how long do you retain that information after the cramming? Could you write a paper on the subject weeks later? Too many people are concerned about what grades they get. Too few are concerned with what they learn. I live in a place where all the Indians get free stuff, including free health care and evasion from justice for unjustified crimes. Even if you're like 1/16th Indian, you get special benefits. Their excuse for all this free stuff? "You took all our land from us!!! OMG!!!" Hey, Indians, your land wasn't stolen from you; you were simply conquered like everyone else in history. Now get over it. My roommate would have something to say to that... But I can at least say that is a pretty dang big generalizarion, or even exaggeration. I live in Durango... verry high Native population here. PS: Indians live in India.

^^Haha yeah I kept thinking about that. But they ARE called Indian Reservations, still. But yes, Native Americans is more of a proper term.

I just call em natives... Native American is too darn politically correct, and their culture so different from ours. Not to mention its just easier to say And, as much as I am a historical patriot, As much as I love our founding fathers. (most/many of them at least) Taking "American" onto the end of someones name, almost sounds like an insult nowadays.
PS: Thanks for getting my Karma to 260. I should be at 2,600 posts for my 1 karma for 10 posts goal.
... though to be honest, I kinda complemented and Karmaed you in hopes you would do me back. I still think standing up for that kid was karma worthy, but I confess, the initial thought was selfish.

^ According to what source, out of curiosity? None really, just idiotic conclusions and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre along with just about every movie set in the middle of nowhere. I tend to say/write things with out really thinking.
