Though the article is quite funny, I think it actually reveals the evil way society is going nowadays: good and evil is no more a question that should be decided by one's own conscience for every case apart, but it's becoming a front of the governments against 'the terrorists', and anything not lawful is considered evil, even when done in a past when public moral was completely different. Now where does this leave our own conscience? Do we still need it or can we just throw it away, as we already did with privacy and innocence (until proven otherwise)?

Now I am disappointed at you for still not finishing those nice games, but I'm sure you will if you just take the time for it. Also, I'm sorry for the law test. I hope you'll enjoy the retake and no, that could be way meaner.

And if I ever find the function for smacking people through the internet, you'll be the first to know.

Yours truly

Your point would be quite valid if not for the fact that most of the parliamentarians are quite obviously siding with Cramer and thinking the PVV and VVD should just drop the whole blame game and letting sleeping dogs lie.

AAH OH GOD LAW HAAAATE. Well, it wouldn't be quite as bad if the professor would just keep to the little corner of law he's supposed to teach us and not branch out in every direction which makes for an annoying frame of reference, let me tell you. It's like someone is supposed to tell you about the Jugendstil but constantly wanders away to blather on about the Renaissance and Baroque and Middle Ages and Classics.

Yes, those kind of teachers can be very annoying. Interestingly, it's usually the well educated and praised teachers that are the most likely to diverge during their lectures. It is even more annoying if the teacher also speaks with a heavy german accent, in bad english while stuttering. Luckily it was in mathematics class about Fourier transforms, otherwise I would have had trouble keeping up.

On a side note, how many hours per day or per week do you spend on gaming, how much on lectures and how much on self-study?

Gaming is put a bit on hold for now T___T

Um I have five lectures per week and self-study a bit and oh god I am such a bad student.

I blame Hikaru no Go.

I've seen worse, don't worry. Not drinking heavy amounts of alcohol already gives you a considerable advantage.

And meanwhile I'm still here waiting for a package that for some reason has to be delivered at five to six, thus wasting most of my day, which I otherwise would not have used in any meaningful way either. I don't trust working people.

Bah. Working people are fine. It's the customers that suck.

Unless it really is about delivery, because I feel your pain. I ordered a book about two months ago and it's still not arrived.

Well, oh joy. The package has not arrived. Thus having me wait needlessly for hours, being without my new phone for a longer time and having to call to resolve this. Although maybe student residence is to blame in this one too. However, if deliveries could be made in the weekend there would not have been a problem in the first place.

Meanwhile, the length of the replies seems to be decreasing with a certain geometric pattern, and were it not for this remark about it distorting the pattern I would try to find a fitting formula.
