I was severely offended when I saw that on the PSAT. To me, it says, 'Since Blacks are dumber than some other races, we have to give them an advantage'.
This seems racist to me, but all my Black(not all from Africa or all in America) friends, or part Black friends were delighted as this boost.
As my 1/8 Black friend said, "I will put my primary race as black because I feel my pride for being African American". Then he laughed and said, "and because it will help my college application."
Although it doesn't seems to cause an outrage among my friends, I still think this is extremely offensive to the intelligence of Blacks, instilling in school students that Blacks are dumber than other races and they need to extra help.
Should we the next generation grow up thinking, "I'm (some race) and am therefore naturally smarter than black people."?
I'm not sure if this is the opinion of others, but to me, that is what it seems to say, and although I may be ignorant of some other issue for this, I'm already starting to hear elementary school students shun their peers of different colors with mildly hostile jokes(I pick up my brother after school since it is so close to mine.).
Of course, I don't attend the school so I'm unsure of the whole story.
I believe the scholarship should benefit the poor(people who do not have the same opportunities as we do), not a certain race, I just don't get it. Maybe you all can enlighten me.

Well I think that Earth will survive this, as this seems to happen every some years, but if we don't survive... Well it wasn't meant to be.
But I don't have much knowledge in this subject to make a definite decision.

Thanks for the advice, I'll look into it and see what I can do.
I have heard from my friends all they do in peer tutoring is goof off and get "credit" for nothing, but I'll try it out. There is probably at least ONE person who actually cares about what they're doing.

I was wondering whether there was some kind of free essay grading site where I could improve my essays and possibly APUSH DBQs.
I tried to find it on google but it just gave me tips on how to write essays whereas I want actual feedback.
When I try to grade my own essays, I have a biased view. Meaning I know my essays suck but don't know how to improve them, that is why I require feedback.
So if anyone knows of such sites or services, can you please post for not only my benefit but for others who may need help on essays.

It's not too addicting compared to some other stuff. I was addicted to it for a while, but I weaned myself off of it. Was up to 3+ cans a day, then I dropped to 2 for about 3 months, now I am at 1. Hopefully I get to a point where I only drink it when I go out to eat once a week or so.
Whao, WOW is that addictive... or is this one of them bs charts?
I just feel heroin is more addictive than WOW...
Did you hear about that one dumb [wagon] in Japan (maybe Korea) that committed suicide after playing WOW (or was it just warcraft?) for 32 hours straight?
So are you saying you're taking this seriously?
-
Well I couldn't find anything on search so I made this.
I have found several studies where music is a distraction to studying because of multi-tasking. This decreases the depth of which material is analyzed and comprehended.
However, other studies show music prolongs the attention span of which people will continuing studying, by using music as a pleasure device.
So do you think studying with music is better or without?
Outside information is welcomed :D

Well, I think I'm leaning a bit on the Creative Zen side as opposed to the iPod.
Does anyone have good websites where they have a comparison between different Creative Zens and another between comparisons of different iPods(Pretty familiar with iPod vid, nano, mini, etc. so not really needed).
-

My guess would be it's fake since the date at the bottom of the graph is from before WoW was even released. :P
Yeah you're right.
WOW was released one month AFTER this chart was published.
Unless I'm missing something this chart is totally bs.

This is an older thread but it's a year or so old so I'm not sure if it's still applicable.
So basically Christmas is coming up(in 2 months) and I'm thinking of getting some kind of portable media player for my Christmas present.
I've done some really shallow research on Creative Zen and iPod, and I have no idea what to get.
So post your opinion and recommend a good portable media player.
Preferred:
FM Radio (don't have many favorites right now)
Able to acquire from retail stores (not eBay and other online)
Durability (how long it lasts before I have to buy a new one, not including intentional damage, i.e. throwing it on the floor)
I won't be watching videos on it so don't really need that feature.
ARG!!! I can't think of anymore. Yes it's pathetic. If you have any thing to add onto it just post or pm.
Also, since this is the ONLY time of the year I get a gift, unless I get a 4.00 GPA unweighted or get into the top 1% in the PSAT(you can probably guess my race), if not a portable media player, what should I get for a Christmas present.
No Computers, or anything more expensive than like $400-$500.

If there really was no ADULT INTERFERENCE, I think it would be somewhat like Lord of the Flies. No one really has any skills, they need one uber strong person to lead the rest, and hopefully no one goes crazy in the fight for power.
BUT... since that is WAY too harsh, I guess this will piss me off.
-
is this like an idea for a story that you're writing?
It's only been said 50 times in this topic, he did not make this up.
The force is strong with this one.
Change force to stupidity.
The first thing you should ask yourself is, does God exist. If you believe heaven and hell do not exist, then... you'll end up the same anyways, but if you do, then you'll have a battle of morals.
-
Finally, a change from those constant "Worst day of my life," "big brothers suck," and the like threads.
Something that actually matters instead of overexageration and depressing thoughts from emo people who actually think they have it bad when they are so damn lucky.

Remember how people said high school would be hard? Remember how hard it wasn't? Same thing here, I'd imagine.
Everyone I know that goes to college is a straight-up jacktard (drinking, drugs, wasting time in general, etc etc) and they do fine.
Are you kidding me? Easy teachers you have -.- .
The school year I just finished was Junior year, the hardest at my school. I got 6-7 hours of homework a night; 3 hours was a godsend -.- . High school is and has been harder than I was told it would be. The people you know are just going to semi-easy party schools, that's my guess anyways :| .
Dude, at my school the maximum amount of homework you can have a night in grade 12 is 4 hours :lol:
Damn. I'm sooo jealous... I usually have 5-6 hours. \
Ahh well...

Arg...
1. Find new band members.
2. Find a new gf.
3. Things happen, like tires being slashed and people being stalked who post messages on tip it and get brutally murdered.

An excuse to procrastinate homework.

Hey there Tip.iters For my L.A class I am doing a reasearch project and I wondered if you people could help me out by guideing me with a couple questions.
1) Why do some people become ghosts while others can't?
2) Why did people in childrens tales describe ghosts as a bedsheet?
3) how can you tell if a medium is a fake or real?
I would greatly appreaceate any theorys and i promise not to plagerize
any material. Thanks! :D
1 and 3 are complex questions, depending on where your sources are from.
Now 2 is easy:
The authors were lazy and had no imagination. This is actually what I think and is not sarcasm.
-
If it's YOUR income there's no drama at all. It's just something every healthy teenager will encounter sooner or later. Pfft.
That band and my gf meant so much to me
And now its all been taken away
That candy bar meant so much to me
But now I eated it and its gone :(
I know how you feel. I lost a penny, and I dropped it in the sewers. It was so important. Sniff* I'm so sad!!!
:( now it's time for you to kill yourself Nadril, goodbye.

Time Magazine apparently loves to lie.
Dr. Kavorkian cannot practice medicine, and if you watched Larry King Live last night, you'd know that he said he'd never help anyone kill themselves again, not because it's "wrong", but because "it wouldn't prove anything".
I think he legitimately wanted to help people, but he has a twist of weirdo to him. Like he thought of it as actually helping, not murdering, but he actually somewhat enjoyed it. That's just my impression of him after listening to him.
Good news is news that doesn't sell.
Now bad news is definitely news that sells.
-
Haha.
I'm actually sad that school is ending. Friends, away from chores my parents want to do in an anal specific way, and education too.
But I can relax now I guess. Or not have to try as hard.
-
Well I wouldn't have helped.
Strangers and all that stuff.
But it's nice to not fall into that "All strangers are evil." mentality. I applaud you.
-
Yeah, it's time to be a loner.
Screw your friend, make new ones, next year cause this year is ending.

I'm sure some Korean bloke died of heart failure after playing World of warcraft for about 3 days straight.If you don't sleep, you'll die.I don't think you can die directly because of lack of sleep. You will just eventually fall asleep, no matter how hard you try not to.
Yeah after about 6-7 days of sleep deprivation your body will just collapse of sheer exhaustion, I don't think you can actually die.
What a muppet.
I'm pretty sure it was a heart attack and he was playing Starcraft! STARCRAFT!

I'd write "God" in it.
>.> I wonder what would happen. I also wonder what's gonna happen after people read this post.
Lol, he'll stop time, rewind, and kill you before you do that. Or something along those lines.
Or maybe "SHE" will? Oooooh...
Ooooh... Actually I should've said "it" because God is neither he nor she. You like this anal precise definition instead?
Horrible Gifts?

Not horrible... but just really, REALLY cheap games in lieu of $40 games we want(They actually ask us then come up with lame excuses, like, they ran out. Oh right millions of people are trying to buy a game that has been in production for 3 years, wow. Trust me are a line of people waiting for a Warcraft battle chest 3 years after initial production...If you're not going to buy it shut your mouth and don't ask at all.).
And yes I only get 1 present a year from them, and yes they are millionaires, and no my parents are richer than them.
Cheap bas****.
Well w/e karma or I will own them...
