I just saw a post about Shakespear and was saddened that when my kids went to school they didn't get any of the classics, Shakespear, Chaucer, Stienbeck,poetry simply because the teachers didn't think they would be interested. I'm...

AvarianParakeet This was actually close to the idea that I was trying to present. English classes slaughter any good themes that exist in the classics through tedious and pointless exercises that make students resent the books. I personally felt that some books really did...

I have a couple friends here that are police officers and they have told me that you should not flash your lights at someone that is driving at night with their headlights off. This applies in my state but could happen elsewhere...

So I watched a thing the other day about how the next great war will be over the moon. Well maybe not the exact next war, seeing how things in the middle east are going, but it will be a problem in the future. Multiple countries...

AvarianParakeet Sad, but true. I personally think that most of the major world nations will wipe each other out before we ever get to the moon. Wow, this topic really depressed me. It's sad to think about the fact that an age of peace will probably never come. Think...

i have some classmates who cheat in examinations. they bring "codigos" or small papers with answers on them. what's worst is that they even have the guts to open their books even though the professor is just infront of the class....

AvarianParakeet This may be one of the worst aspects of it at my school. I go to a private school, and the principal is too afraid to make any of the parents angry. He is always begging for money, so he has to tell the teachers to strictly prevent cheating with a zero...

AvarianParakeet This is what hurts me the most. She is about one of the 2 actually nice girls out of the 40ish in my class (They are all either superficial, whiny, or really mean). It really upset her too.

What is your general opinion of the series? I loved the first manga and I am 40 pages into the second one. I loved the artwork and the storylines, and some of it is just so great. The first movie was alright, but I honestly...

AvarianParakeet The plot was pretty well hidden until the last 5 minutes, so I could see how that happened :). I loved the action and animation of the second one, and I thought that the plot was good, but it didn't get into as much of a deep philosophy about human...

AvarianParakeet I honestly came really close to crying at the end of GITS:SAC 2nd. It was just such a great finale. I'm a guy by the way, so that's saying a lot if a television show almost brought me to tears.
