Lets see, throughout your schooling experience you lived an average life. Yes, you had trouble with reading but that later eroded. In your family, academic excellence was something that was almost an understood accomplishment. Let’s have you move forward to about middle school. You were one of the average kids again socially and economically, but in the upper echelons academically. The success, accomplishments and recognition you earned for your hard work felt good. It put you on what felt like an equal playing field against what you like to call “the rich kids” as well as the other brains. Teachers and students alike admired you and your work but you always aimed for that social spotlight. Let’s have you move forward to High School. Here, you are known as one of the smart kids but there were naturally others. What made you stand out then? How come you could easily blend in with every crowd? I’d say that in High School you were that special “helper” friend to the socialites and general counsel to everyone else. This allowed you to ( ... )

What is so hard to understand about changing the world by fixing these? Perhaps your reading and comprehension skills are in need of work. Maybe that ADD kicked in and you stopped reading once you realized that I hadn’t accepted most of what you said. You most likely thought to yourself, “Well how could he? After all, he is Ron.” Maybe you ended up saying “its just like I expected, he missed the entire fucking point of this post.” Those are the only two options you explored to respond the way you did. Well, the answer was choice number 3, you said a lot of bullshit so I flushed the toilet. Luckily for you though, over the summer I learned how to speak idiot and was able to translate most of it. You are damn right I didn’t think of it in a “different way” because your “different way” is for the fucking birds Phil, re-read ( ... )

Upon revisiting your claims that sacrifice is the most important thing concerning change, again I say please, re-read. I did not misunderstand what you were saying about sacrifice its clear as day and in my previous comments I agree on how it fits into change. The fact that you missed the nail with the hammer is also blindingly clear. Sacrifice is a FUCKING COST OF EVERY CHANGE! Tell me Phil, say you are buying a car, is the FIRST THING that comes to mind HOW much money you will have to sacrifice? FUCK NO. Before you get there, DON’T you have to fucking MAKE a decision about what to do!?! Oh DEAR GOD, Where oh WHERE DO WE GET THE INFO NEEDED TO MAKE DECISIONS? Do I hear personal values somewhere out there in the crowd? No, I fucking hear sacrifices all over again. Let me simplify this shit for you. When I look at the car I decide, do I want to buy the car or not or can I buy the car or not (THIS IS THE FUCKIN BARRIER TO CHANGE THIS DECISION!!!). THE OUTCOME of this decision relies on WHAT THE PERSON IS WILLING TO SACRIFICE (time, ( ... )

The one about me needing crack was also great, I loved it. Let me let you in on a little secret, I’m fucking competitive by nature because it exercises the only dependent variable for success that we have direct control over, fucking effort (something you are still learning, poor fellow). If my personal value for school isn’t shit then why the hell not look for somewhere else to spend my time? Do you really think Mercer’s environment on its own created me? Why the hell do I crack the fuck out and just do enough to get by in school? Well, I obviously value the game more than I do what Mercer offers for the most part. However, my values are strong enough to ensure I leave what I deem as sufficient time for school. So, I play every game like its going out of style and devastate all of you guy’s level wise/skill wise. If I don’t right off the bat (rare), I’ll continue to exert effort until it’s done. Ever asked yourself why? Of course not, you are too busying assuming and making an ass out of yourself. You asked me to do what you do well ( ... )

Re: Nope I actually read it today anonymous August 15 2006, 04:07:54 UTC

MOST FUCKING importantly, where do I get off giving teachers a hard time? Well, I don’t give my definition of “teachers” a hard time; I give fucking idiots who claim to be teachers a hard time. I asked you about the impact a teacher who cared about their kids and their material could have versus that of the one’s your little brother had this semester. All I heard was fucking crickets. I should have known. Here, I’ll tell you. A teacher who cares would KNOW that their students are all capable of learning the material barring them having serious birth or untreated psychological disorders. All they have to do now is to figure out which ones can’t because of real life and personal choices. Here, I’ll attempt to “Phil proof” this argument. The harder ones to save are of course the ones directly affected by real life. The real life ones have 80hours a week work schedule with 3 kids and are probably single parents. The personal choice ones are exactly like your younger brother, FILLED with dormant potential but making poor personal choices. ( ... )

I know the life a teacher lives I’ve worked with Lynch on a personal level for almost a year and a half. What about you? Lynch is a great teacher. He cares and understands that his job is to teach not to just stand in front of a class and deliver material. He gets upset when students do poorly in his class and would go to the ends of the earth to ensure their success. Are you telling me that you are agreeing with a system where students who just needed a nudge or two should fail? Don’t worry; I’ll fix you too then. FUCK TEACHERS WHO’D RATHER PASS YOU OFF AS A FAILURE THAN TRY TO MOTIVATE YOU. FUCKING ASSHOLE DEANS/PRINCIPALS AND SCHOOL BOARDS CAN GO TO HELL IF THEY THINK ONLY 20/40 PEOPLE NEED TO PASS. They are failing students who ONLY needed a PUSH in the right direction! THESE ARE the people I wish to fix and they are NOT teachers even though they might be referred to as such. If you wish to defend these idiots, then by all means, step right up. I assure you, it will have no impact on what I intend to do. You are right, I will ( ... )

Re: Nope I actually read it today anonymous August 15 2006, 04:09:22 UTC

Are you such a bumbling idiot to think that the same party scene doesn’t exist on these campuses? Perhaps you believe gaming to be non-existent on these campuses. Check, its actually far worse at these schools than for Mercer. Students who fail classes there fail after being counseled, lectured, and talked to during the course of the semester. In all cases, teachers spend more time with troubled students in order to guide them through the rough spots. Why the tremendous difference? Well, they certainly pay a higher price to attend these schools than Mercer. Check, you’d be surprised how much or should I say, how little more they pay than we do. Them having great teachers (fuckers who want to teach) is probably the number one reason why they win at life. There, the teachers stress that every single student accepted to the school was thoroughly investigated and known to have the ability, now all they must do is put forth the effort. Heard this one before right? Teachers there panic when 20 fuckers fail out of their class and aim for 100 ( ... )

Re: Nope I actually read it today anonymous August 15 2006, 04:09:58 UTC

What would happen in my world? It’s pretty much a revamping of the entire system with emphasis placed on the learning process and teacher welfare. Well, first thing’s first, teachers, real honest to God teachers who LOVE their work would be in charge of every classroom. How do you create such people? Funneling tons of money into teaching makes it an attractive occupation to have because of incentives such as increased pay, benefits and an easier work environment. Hopefully you understand this much. All of their superiors would just be former teachers who have lived a fruitful life as a great and understanding teacher who has gained invaluable leadership qualities. Who better to tell a teacher how to teach than an older teacher? The goal of every fucking school will be to teach the willing. I will personally remove idiotic material (kids) from schools but eventually, systems will be put in place that removes them automatically and places them in other programs. If in time they change, the door is always open. If I’ve tried everything ( ... )

Re: Nope I actually read it today anonymous August 15 2006, 04:11:04 UTC

In our situations, yes it’s better to be educated by the bad system than not. I don’t want kids to IDOLIZE ANYONE IDIOT; I want them to RESPECT HUMAN CHARACTERISTICS OF SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE! Why? If they idolize human characteristics, then they can aim to be LIKE said person by having SIMILAR HUMAN CHARACTERISTICS. I want them to respect their successful parents, actors, musicians, doctors, lawyers everyone ELSE in society that EARNS THEIR FUCKING KEEP. When you IDOLIZE you AIM TO BECOME but YOU CAN NEVER BE SOMEONE ELSE! Do you not understand this? When you RESPECT, you aim to ACHIEVE like-mind ness and actions. You can’t even come up with the reasoning required for this level of thought? You still have no fucking clue what I want to be even after I told you. I’d humor you and say nice guess but really, it was quite pathetic ( ... )

Re: Nope I actually read it today anonymous August 15 2006, 04:13:07 UTC

Don’t worry though you will fulfill your role. Your role is to be like every other person who sits there with a thumb up his or her ass THINKING that their way is right until their environment smacks them in the face. What you aim to be is simply what I’d become if I failed in life. How do I know I’ll succeed? Well I plan to never give up giving whatever lucks modifier is a real run for its money in terms of my success. So, I took lessons from Hitler… Did you completely miss the part about using the power to change the world for GOOD? Knowing you, I wouldn’t put it past ya. Yes yes, I know “the road to hell is paved with good intentions,” you engineers all love this one. My solution? I plan to stop paving if shit starts getting hotter, rethink and then reapply my efforts. Tell me Phil, how can I change the world without the things I listed off? Don’t go dribbling on your shirt now damnit this is an easy one! You and your children will be a product of everything I have to say and your grandchildren as well. I’m full of myself? That is ( ... )

Re: Nope I actually read it today anonymous August 15 2006, 04:14:31 UTC

So I took it over and over driving it as low as 40 just to make them understand. I know I know, you take everything with a grain of salt so here, I took the national one for you ( ... )

Re: Nope I actually read it today anonymous August 15 2006, 04:15:10 UTC

Oh, and about your analysis of the situation. Everything YOU have said, someone has said, and they’ve said it fucking better. Everything YOU have done and WILL do (if you stick to your guns about being comfortable) someone has already done and BETTER. Everything you’ve ever thought of someone has already thought of and HAS exerted more effort in that than you ever have and ever will. YOU are the one with NOTHING to offer because you are in the middle of the bell curve. No one will care what YOU have to say because they have all said and done it before. Frankly, if I lived like that (and I have) I wouldn’t give a rat’s ass either. No? You’ve lived your life according to a mold that society has for you. Would you dare say that you are better than every other fucking person who has settled for society’s mold or mediocrity as I like to call it? I think not. Perhaps you’ll say that society is so powerful that no one in their damn minds can impact it. WHERE THE FUCK DO YOU LIVE!? Even though I doubt you will fail in your own life ( ... )
