[QUOTE=Joelbassman;17304874]LMFAO.

The co-leader of the Maori party of NZ is trying to make it so Maori students get into University free and without the appropriate qualifications but do a course to show they have reached required standards.

WTF.

This is ridiculous. It's their fault they don't study and pass one of the easiest ****ing school systems in this world.


Just ROFL.

And this takes the cake:



LOL. Well I'm sorry if they aren't studying, which yes is stupid, ridiculous and it's just intolerable.

Jesus christ.

This already basically happens in Canada, there are open spots in medical and dental school for aboriginal students and they are almost always vacant, never being filled by more capable and more motivated non-aboriginals. :/

[QUOTE=gaslight;17304897]I never understood the fuss about Battles.[/QUOTE]

I never knew there was any fuss about them. I only know a couple of people who really like them, and a lot more who really don't.

I'm one of those people that has trouble figuring out what's not to like about them.

gaslight 06-18-2009 05:31 AM

Around here they were quite a trendy act for a while.

Moon Flavor 06-18-2009 06:43 AM

da **** is a maori is that just like a black person or what

gaslight 06-18-2009 07:35 AM

The Maori are the indigenous people of New Zealand.

For the majority of those spots, they have to meet the same requirements as other students.

FunkMetalBass 06-18-2009 09:30 AM

Anybody know if the BlackBerry Bold has been released for Verizon?

Oh, working hard. You can tell because I'm on the internet.
What's new?

Epidemechanical 06-18-2009 12:08 PM

its racist to put poor performing people into positions of privilege based simply on their race

Epidemechanical 06-18-2009 12:09 PM

for that reason i pretty much have to have a 4.0 attached to my bachelor's to get into a half decent law school

cause im not black

[quote=Raayl;17305595]its racist to put poor performing people into positions of privilege based simply on their race[/quote]

Quoted for truth.

My friend Jeremy had to sit through an extra 2 years of pre-med, even though he had a 4.0 average and some of the best letters of recommendation I've ever read, because he wasn't a minority. His buddy, of Mexican descent, had a 3.5 average and was probably very lucky to receive those marks from the sounds of it. Mexibuddy was accepted right away.

Jeremy finally got in and graduated in the top 1%, his buddy flunked out in his first year.

Reverse-racism (aka "Affirmative Action") is still racism.

I'm gonna buy an iPhone.

FunkMetalBass 06-18-2009 01:07 PM

I don't do the virtual keyboard, otherwise I would...not. I hate Apple.

It's a shame Verizon still hasn't picked up the BB Bold yet. Only AT&T has it, so if I want to get an unlocked one for Verizon, it's $549. AT&T Sells it for $99 after rebate with a two-year contract.

:upset:

:amaze: 06-18-2009 01:15 PM

i'm pretty sure t-mobile has it. could be mistaken, though.

i just upgraded to a blackberry pearl ... i'm thinking of getting the G1 when i can upgrade in October.

FunkMetalBass 06-18-2009 01:19 PM

It's probably the Curve. Very similar, though. I'm considering getting the Curve instead when I switch contracts on July 9, but my mom has the Curve for her business and it feels kind of cheap to me. Maybe I'm just used to my old-school Blackberry that feels like a granite brick (both in weight and construction durability).

fatbandit 06-18-2009 01:20 PM

I dunno, from what I've seen in my research, there are other things as functional as the iPhone, but nothing that does it quite as well and effortlessly. And what keeps coming back to me is that its actually fun to use. Plus I can get a big discount on it.

That would be the selling point for me. :lol: As much as I hate touch screens and Apple, cheap phone is a cheap phone.

:amaze: 06-18-2009 01:46 PM

how much is the internet/data plan for the iphone?

fatbandit 06-18-2009 03:33 PM

I think over here you pay like £35 a month for the 16GB iPhone over an 18 month or 2 year contract.

Unlimited data, and a bunch of minutes and texts. But not as many as I get now :(

But I know someone who works in the shop that sells them, and he gets me a 30% discount. And I think he can hack the phone and get me any app for free too.

FunkMetalBass 06-18-2009 03:59 PM

My car smells like sex.

And I didn't know that windows could actually fog up in 90 degree weather....but I was wrong.

BenJammin 06-18-2009 04:39 PM

Are you attempting to brag about getting laid?

Spaceman Spiff 06-18-2009 04:43 PM

I love [I]White Noise[/I] by Don DeLillo.

I wonder if I could write a screen adaptation of it... it seems very unmovieable, I must say.
