FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

 

DO NOT BUMP 2 YEAR OLD THREADS WITH ONE WORD REPLIES THAT ADD NOTHING.

haha

 

cool, i've never seeen this thread yet..

 

from a Canadian standpoint, I think the quest for knowledge is declining as well. WHY? # of reasons. I blame MTV the most. lousy americans...*j/k

 

Also with education, the public school quality here is decreasing and it's slowly seeking private funds to help alleviate the pressure; b/c there's alot of new immigrants coming into the Toronto and surrounding area.

 

I especially hate the Engineering Philosophy here. Here's the formula, input, output, done. Like Sayo said, there's no thought into why that happens.

 

Also with the tests, argh. 4/6 of my classes use Multiple Choice tests. The best way to test, (but most expensive , so no chance of it happening) like my PHYS prof. said: "He'll seat you down in a room for an hour, and drill you with questions upon questions seeing how much you know." Another thing. MC sucks b/c people complain that they got the entire thought process correct, but since they bubbled in the wrong answer on the Scantron sheet, or mistyped a figure in the calculator, NO MARKS. But that's a story for another day.

celebritised ignorance is one of the major culprits I think, not to mention the general obsession with image and frivolous things.

 

Dizzy blonde pop star-turned-reality TV queen Jessica Simpson was so convinced she was pregnant after she reading she was expecting in America's gossip magazines, she insisted on a check-up. The singer admits she fell for the rumors about herself after gossips mistook her longing for a pet dog as a strong hint she was about to become a mum. She says, "I think I said I wanted a dog and people thought I wanted a baby. I began to believe the rumors because I was very very sick. I ended up going to the doctor and being hooked up to an IV. I wasn't pregnant."

 

Since there was a new reply I was reading all the way through this thread and just got reminded to share this hilarious news story posted on IMDb.com

That's just another method of keeping cretins from getting higher scores
