btw, guys, cut it out with making fun of our lack of understanding of your weird dialect of "English" ok? We don't live in Engerland. We have never lived in Engerland. We probably never will because Canada is the greatest country in the world. Just because we don't understand brit-talk doesn't mean we're illiterate pigs. "I'se the by that builds the built and I'se the by that sails." You guys understood that? I doubt it. Nova Scotian English fyi.

How about let's avoid the slippery slope argument, k? (hammer-->knife-->sword-->machete etc.) guns are just another tool, with the purpose of killing or causing some destruction. So are hammers, knives, swords, and machetes. You can use them for good or for bad. That's why gun control is useless. And don't get me started on drug control...

As promised, here is what I'm learning in the courses: History: 20th Century, which goes from the 1917 Russian Revolution to the Gulf War in 1991. NOTE: For Chem, Math, and Physics, all units are in SI/Metric units. No Imperial units (I can't figure them out anyhow). Chemistry: 1. Reaction Kinetics (Rate, KE, PE) 2. Equilibrium (Keq, Le Chatelier's) 3. Solubility (Ksp, Solubility, solutions, titrations.) 4. Acids & Bases (hardest): Ka, Kb, Kw, titrations, pH, pOH, etc.) 5. Electrochem: Redox equations, Balancing, titrating, and applications. Also with Electrochem and electrolysis cells. Physics: 1. Classical physics (momentum, kinematics, gravitation, circular motion, torque, rotational/translational equilibrium) 2. Electricity (charges, fields, forces, voltages, current) 3. Circuitry (Parallel vs. series, Kirchoff's Laws, resistors, but NO capacitors) 4. Electromagnetism and Induction (Mag fields, direction, force, etc. with induced fields/currents, eddy currents, generators and motors, and solenoids) Math: 1. Conics 2. Stats (Bell curves, mean, standard deviation) 3. Probability (nCr, nPr, trees, venn diagrams) 4. Trig identities 5. Logs, series, half-lives, etc. English: 1. Poetry 2. Prose 3. Grammar 4. Essay writing That's a rough sketch of our curriculum here in BC.

sorry, that second part AFTER the girls was meant for everybody. Gawd I hate them.

why DO girls wear ties? sad. *choke* /me falls to the ground dead.

145. ABove average, but nowhere near genius. I don't believe in IQ scores. They don't mean anything.

PLEASE!!! LET the COYOTE get the ROADRUNNER just ONCE!!! I feel sorry for the coyote... /me gives a coyote a BIG hug, scratch, and pat.

yes, CP = Cerebral Palsy. A rare kind in North America/Western Europe nowadays with better hospital management, but was more common here 25 years ago. However, in China (where I was born), they just received there first CT scanner a year before I was born, and they had poor management (a blood transfusion would've cured me.) My CP is caused by extremely high jaundice, which caused damage to the base of the brain, but left the upper areas intact. The damaged part controls fine & gross motor skills and such. It sucks, especially when you see other people do things that seem easy (tying shoelaces, crimping ethernet cables, etc.) and knowing you'll never do them. Adaptability is key here. Ah well, I don't like wallowing in self-pity and I generally am indifferent towards pity, so... Goals for future: Try to get into university directly (requires 78% to get admission) but my marks (around 75%, and falling) are barely below the cutoff mark. BAH!!! Guess i'll have to go to college first and work my butt off to get transferred to university. I hate marks. No Laurie, I do not need help in English or History (20th century), but if anyone's good at Math, Physics, or Chem, you're welcome to offer any advice I'll post what we're learning in these courses later, as I need to get studying for two tests tomorrow (ugh).

Thank you all. Sorry I don't hang around here much, as I usually frequent to other boards. Anyways, I am proud to stand by my opinions, and I welcome any criticism. Anon, please don't abuse your rights to free speech. To all you old folks: beware, because when I rule the world... hehheheh... enough fantasizing. I haven't technically graduated yet, as I still have 5 final exams to do in order to pass the courses I'm taking (Physics, Math, Chemistry, English, and History).

The quote by Old Man Caesar was made to the Senate upon Caesar's return to Rome after conquering the Parthians in Mesopotamia (the Romans did reach the Persian Gulf.

Sorry about the four-letter word. Moment of excitement. For those graduating, do try to be conservative, k? Terayon: do u use any IM programs (ie. ICQ, MSN, etc.)? gimme your icq # or msn name if so.

Today (June 1st in Canada) I had my graduation ceremony. Boringest thing humans have ever thought up of. Speeches by top brass --> Everybody gets to walk across the stage (500 kids in my class of 2002) --> more speeches --> valedictorian --> choir + recessional. 3 hours of sitting on your arse listening to the kids go across one by one. Only exciting part was when I went across (no, i did NOT trip and fall).

Soccer sucks! Real Canadians watch Hockey!!!

I agree with Laurie. Ignorant + stupid people == drives me nuts. Especially when they think I'm retarded instead of my actual disability (CP).

Tan goes well with any shoe. Black + white / white + black == teh ugly. Red nylons are hard to coordinate, and generally are bad. Stockings must be lighter than shoes. Black stockings only go well with black shoes. Trust me, I tried.

The system is different for each province in Canada. In Ontario, where Terayon's from, they have Grade 13, and the rest of what he described. In British Columbia, it's different: Elementary school: Kindergarten (age 5) to grade 7 (12) Secondary school: Grade 8 (13) to Grade 12 (17) University/College: Anywhere above 17. There is no 'compulsory education,' although you are not required to come to school anymore after age 16. Thus, if you get expelled after 16, you're on your own. Very few people drop out at 16 (less than 1%) and most make it through to Grade 12 without repeating. At the end of Grade 12, you MUST write provincial examinations (1 more month left for me, as I am graduating this June, after I write my exams). The minumum you MUST write is ONE, which is either English 12, or Communications 12 if you're not that good at English. I have FIVE!!! Them being Physics, Chemistry, English, Math, and History (all Grade 12 level). The reason why I'm posting this is because I need to vent.

I saw this commercial too in teh balmy city of Vancouver. I want to win... but, oh well. I'm not a mother, never be one. [pieman starts scratching chin, thinking of ways to win shoes, and not let parents find out.]
