I just got done studying Calc for 4+ hours and I want to kill myself. Lfd how do you motivate yourself to study/do homework so much?[/QUOTE]

:lol:

i hated it aswell but now i'm a TA and it's getting fun :-D if you can see a practical use for it (control systems, time-discrete and contineous statistic systems, signal theory, antennaes etc) it's much more motivating.

are you actually english? i mean, at all

or are you doing what seemingly most yanks do and claim to be a nationality based on the fact a great grand parent lived in said country

like, theres some douche in the general forum who says he's polish, even though he was born in the US and his parents were born in the US.

and wtf is up with so many yanks saying theyre irish wtf

see wtf is this 'irish american'

theyre iether american, or theyre irish, theyre not inbetween

you'd only refer to yourself in terms of 'mixture' when youre talking race, like if your parents were different

you dont dub yourself half irish because 8 generations ago one person in your family was born in ireland

then again i wouldnt expect yanks to make use of logic

People who say they are ___-American are talking about ethnicity not nationality. The only people who are ethnically American are Native Americans, the rest of us are just Americans nationality wise. If I gave up my US citizenship and moved to Sweden to live for the rest of my life I'd be Swedish from a nationality standpoint but I'd never be ethnically Swedish.

Just because most people are bad at math doesn't mean they're dumb... oh wait, yeah I guess it does. Point being, if they really think they're half irish because 8 generations ago one person was born in Ireland (which honestly if say you're parents were both French, moved to Ireland, and you were born that pretty much makes you of French decent not irish) then they are an idiot.


I'm essentially 1/4 Italian, because my Grandmother (though born in the states) was a pure-blood Italian. Both of her parents were from Italy, had a few kids over there and moved to the U.S. then had more (12 kids total). Though honestly I don't even refer to myself as "Italian-American", or any non-sense like that. I generally believe that an Italian-American is one who is born in Italy and moves to America, or even as far as dual citizenship (though if they were born in the states I'd say they were American-Italian -- yes, it sounds dumb).


Though I have had people just go, "OH! That is why you have a 'roman' nose!" When I tell them I have Italian blood. So it isn't like physical traits may not be passed through the blood. Of course I always kid I'm a mix of the bad guys from WW II, though I exclude Japan here, because I know I have Italian blood on my Father's side and on my mother's side there is a German last name. Though my Grandmother (O.K., so tech. this is "Grandmother" and my father's mother is "Nana", but I call them both Grandmother) has traced her family history back to the American Civil War with no relatives coming from outside the U.S. that she mentioned to me.


Though my original point for posting, why do you call Americans "Yanks"? I mean, southerners call northerners that (short for Yankee of course). So you call some one from Alabama or something a yank and they'll be 'bout ready to pull out their sawed off 12-gauge and put some holes in ya. :lol:

LFD' journal has spoken

i read the whole thing tbh

I didn't..

Should I?

I should really proof read my damn posts, before I post them. I'll just leave the horrible grammatical errors. :lol:

Yes, you do.


No, money down.

God, frey Jones.

Why can't I write like happy sh[size=2]i[/size]t? Like, every song I've ever written was either like depressing relationship crap or end of the world disaster crap. Which isn't exactly depressing, but lets just say the majority of my writing focuses on the negative.

That's as far as I got until I realised it was LFD and I didn't care.
