His point is that focusing on academics and improving classes, the school is instead directing its attention to useless school uniforms.

I cried like a baby the first time I saw that. It still makes me cry every time I see it including last night. I don't even care that half the movie is American propaganda about the Vietnam War, it has a deeper message than that. War movies always make me cry. And I love how it never tells you. That is one of my sister's favourite movies... Definitely one of my favorite movies. I was more sad when Ken was climbing to the top of that tower.

Yeah and in some cases it's even an actual class you can take. They replaced things like...actual learning in schools with classes like that. That being said, I had to take this class Senior year because of schedule conflicts. I hated it, but I lifted my [wagon] off to get an A. Never really got into lifting during hockey even though I was a big dude (6'4" 220) because it affected my tennis. I put up about 230 for Bench, never bothered with squats since skating for 14 years gives you strong enough legs.

I was hoping no one else would pick up on it. Gotta love George.

Yeah, because everything that has ever happened in history has been determined by a war and when there was a war, the loser was obviously completely eradicated along with all their histories. After which the victors immediately ordered their soldiers to immediately kill anyone who was caught recording the events that had just happened. Are you really going to try to continue this with me?

I hope you're kidding -.- The authors of current textbooks are writing them right now.

You're probably the only person on this board that I could let get away with saying Rage is terrible ;)

Maybe in lower level history classes but in college level courses, history is quite subjective. The only bias comes from which author writes it or which edition it is.

This has nothing to do with who wins wars or who loses them, rather that American propaganda and nationalism is shoved down our throats from an early age.

I love how you're a complete tool. All the time. I simply disagreed that school uniforms are a good idea. I believe that at a public school, uniforms should not be implemented. Limiting creative choice is simply another way to make children think alike and not question anything. I mean honestly, look at any history book in elementary through preparatory schools across America: Complete Propaganda. It's absolutely ridiculous. School uniforms are just the icing on the cake. Dress code, yes. Uniforms, absolutely not.

Torture is a broad term, and we split it into two. Physical torture and psychological torture. Once is not any less torture than the other, even though one causes more physical pain, but psycological torture has the same overall effect of causing fear. Ooooooh. Threadwin?

So simulating a person is drowning is not torture...hmm. You seem to have such good logic.

Well so far they have confirmed dates for: Jul 18 2009 - Mile High Music Festival - Commerce City, CO, USA Aug 01 2009 - Liberty State Park - Jersey City, NJ Aug 07-09 - Lollapalooza - Chicago, IL and my favorite... Aug 09 - Xcel Energy Center - St. Paul, MN I hope that I'm back from basic to see them less than 30 miles from me.

Songs like "Ave Maria" in a gangster movie with a slow motion gunfight scene. Love that.

"Be yourself because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter." -Dr. Seuss "I do respect independent thinking, but not when it's for the sake of proving independence." -My Father

It compares to "The Wall" by Pink Floyd for me. Things were just becoming more sour in the band and their music reflected it. It wasn't terrible music, but it just wasn't as good as what they were capable of. That's the reason why I don't have either of those albums in my iTunes.

You have almost the exact same musical tastes as my best friend's brother. I like most of the choices, but I don't understand how you can consider "De-Loused in the Comatorium" "unbearable".

Biggest. Fail. Ever.

I will be sending out a mass-text to all of my friends if they confirm this. I can only pray that they will record as well as 1992 and not 2000.

Any song by Nickelback, Three Days Grace, or Hinder.

Stand up to him and don't just take it like a wuss. If you don't have the gumption to stand up for yourself, then you don't deserve to complain about being bullied.

Dub Trio.

Let Her Cry by Hootie & The Blowfish One of the best bands of the 90s.
