futuro: 42, or seeing akira jimbo live

reminds me of a story my critical thinking lecturer told me

about 15 years ago, a kid contested one of his statements in class. so he told the kid to look it up in the textbook. the kid did, and apologised for being wrong.
my lecturer then told him to look who wrote the book

"you did, sir"
"so, how do you know its right if you just told me it was wrong"
"its in a book sir, you cant put wrong things in books"

wow, that's kid an idiot. Its one thing to think that teachers are always right, its another to think that they are wrong sometimes when they lecture but are always right when they put their words on paper.

Kae so. Underoath, Moneen and Silverstein PWND.

Moneens drummer (Dont know his name) was playing a red sparkle Pork Pie kit. Twas awesome. And I saw the 22"x24" Acrylic monster.

I'm seing Silverstein again in December.

K so i got back from the RHCP concert about 8.5 hours ago. It was the most awesomest thing i've ever seen. The volta were pretty much exactly how rohbit described in his thread but i still commend the lead singer for having such a great voice.

The Chili's were great. They played exactly what i wanted to hear live. Soul to Squeeze, Throw Away Your Television, I Could Have Lied, and Don't Forget Me. It was amazing. Some dude from the Volta stepped in and played the percussion part on Hump De Bump. Except he played it all on bongos. It was pretty sweet. Amazing night, and Flea walking off the stage on his hands was a perfect cap to the show!

[QUOTE=Seafroggys;13337126]Yeah, but your in college. You can usually battle the professor and call out on his/her ideas and such. Its not like high school where you have to do what they say or else.

I would totally take it up on her, publically in class, and state that good writing is maybe not entirely subjective (liking leetspeak doesn't make it good writing) but a good chunk of it is. Then your paper can compare and constrast what is subjective and what is objective.

Then again, from what you're saying, you are doing this already, which is good. I just would have called out on the teacher in the middle of class. It would have been fun.

And you only just started learning the MLA format? I had to use since I was in Middle School[/QUOTE]

Actually, the subject is just "What Is Good Writing?"

And I think that it's subjective. It's nothing more than an opinion, seriously. And I've found plenty o' evidence to back that up.

The teacher is a moron, and is expecting "Good writing is good grammar and clear sentences and blah dee blah dee blah dee blah dee blah."

Which just does not work for me.

No, I've been using MLA formatting, but for some reason it didn't click with me that double space = 1/2 the essay.

juniors at my high school have to take a writing test today, so i'm stuck in a computer class with nothing to do for two hours,

anybody else on?

what is mla formatting?

it's a way of citing sources in a bibliography

easybib.com i think it is helps you through it if you need it

the guy next to me is looking up bullet belts and wearing girl pants


i'm glad this class is almost over

EMOOOOOO

kill him. before he does.

we have sooo many hippies in my college.. they bring in circus toys like diabolos and firestaffs. 2 of them i have never seen wearing shoes....

[QUOTE=Corkofski;13338141]what is mla formatting?[/QUOTE]

its much more then just citing your sources, its also a style of writing.

Nah, it's not a style of writing.

It's a style of formating.


There are many formating styles besides MLA. Chicago, APA, Turabian, and AMA are some others.

But what font is MLA in? Lucuida Sans in size 12 is waaay bigger than Arial.

Should have everything you need. Times New Roman or Courier in 12 are the fonts MLA uses.


oooh i'm almost to 5,000 rep points.. hahaha

Evning all, hows it going?

Sheddin on the pad.. it's late morning here though.

I love Requiem For A Dream. Just watched it today for the 8th time. It's one of those movies that just doesn't get old to me. Everyone go rent it. Or buy it. You'll love it.

that is a great movie.

Asprin or Ibuprofin.

Hmm...

I have to do a spanish report. I don't want to.
I hate spanish. I'll be dead before it totally infiltrates rural NY, so I don't know why I'm bothering to take it. Gah.

and that there is the arrogance and simple mindness that every country in europe, asia, oceanaia or whatever, south american, and north american par the USA


see's in the united states. And partially britian.

Yes. Now, is there any way that you could have made that more difficult to decipher?


I managed to get that you think I'm arrogant. I'm not disagreeing, but come on. I have nine more credit hours to complete. With those, I will have taken six courses of spanish, and I'll only be able to fluently communicate with mexican kindergarteners.

Basically, it's the fact that niether the USA's or britains youth see any point in learning a language because they think they'll never use it, or it doesn't apply to them because they don't know any XYZ people.

Tis hard to explain. you have to look at it from an outside point of view.

I'm not saying you're a directly arrogant, you're just in that group of youth and negative thinking that consists of millions of people.

That group of youth is going to quickly be eradicated. In a decade or so, spanish is going to be introduced in primary schools. By the time kids graduate, they'll be bilingual, whether they wanted it or not.


Edit: I don't think I'm part of that group, because I'm taking it. Begrudgingly. I could just take a proficiency exam, barely pass, and then fill up the credit hours with art classes, but I'm not.

[QUOTE=Berk;13339211]Anyone listen to Dr. Acula?[/QUOTE]

I love Dr. Acula. My band is playing a show with them in January right before my 18th birthday. Its gonna be sweet.

but it's the fact you said "i don't care about this exam because spanish people arn't going to live near me", or something to that extent, which shows you are
A. Afraid of people immigrating to your country, which, although you won't like it, is going to happen. It's already happened in western europe, and it'll soon take full force on the USA. I know you already have trouble with immigrants from mexico, but still...
B. ignorant to the fact that many countrys speak spanish.

And although you'll probably come back to me saying, "i didn't say i was ignorant to that", you never said you wern't.
