So I'm in Jazz Band this morning and we're playing this Stevie Wonder medley that has a drum solo at the end. We get there and the drummer starts playing the drum solo from Moby Dick. I'm still laughing on the inside.

I doubt it too. But that's a moot point.

Not really. Because if that is true, than the average American would probably not even have a full high school education in your world.

That's a type of world I'm not sure I would want to live in.

A full high school education does not guarantee an education. So what if a person never learned physics? Does it make them a worse person? And even if you think so, then how about self-learning philosophy by the great thinkers? Would that still make them a worse person, even though they're gaining knowledge that they can utilize in discussions and actively apply in everyday life? That's better than knowing how much time it takes for an acorn to fall ten feet, isn't it?

And you're a mod, don't you have powers to whisk this over to some topic buried in R&P? You can create phantom posts.

No, but it doesn't matter what kind of person they are. Someone with only a grade school education is not going to be intelligent. Schools do not just teach you random facts. They teach you critical thinking.

I'm not sure what you mean. If by "great thinkers" you mean people like Aristotle, Plato, etc, then not only did they have academies in Greece, but they were also geniuses and the exception to the norm.

You know, I want to say "I think StrongRad once posted that" but that doesn't seem right at all...

I think the only reason CL backs this up is because she hates school.

Download trial version of winrar.

PROTIP: 'X' the window when it reminds you that it's only a trial and you have to actually buy it.

^LOL RANDUM, UR FUNY!!!!!!!!111111112

I actually just got 7-Zip. I think it's pretty much just a freeware version of WinRar. It works, which is nice.

How to post like WonderMike:

1. Complain about your school in the "Has Your School Ever Done Anything This Stupid?" thread.
2. Post random crap everywhere else.
3. ???
4. Profit.
5. Repeat.

That can be said about a good portion (not all) of people who have joined in the past year.

AbuGrape45 · **Posted:** Sat Mar 01, 2008 3:56 am

I don't do that.

I thought we had done that two months ago for being a liar and a troll in the "School" thread, but he can strike again and make his return at any time.

Yeah, they're kinda addicting. And, even though it's supremely old meme now, I still like the Fox News story on them too.

AbuGrape45 · **Posted:** Sat Mar 01, 2008 5:20 am

Same here. I've watched a whole bunch that I hadn't seen, and that one I've watched probably a thousand times.

Alright, I'm a bit late for the mandatory school talk, but I will say this: I think it's hilarious that the only people I ever, EVER see in favor of non-mandatory school attendance are kids presently in middle and high school. I cannot think of any adult I have ever come across who has "gotten educated" who regrets doing so. In fact, most of them would rather still be in school rather than the real world.

Aaaand I'm out of that convo. I don't wish to discuss it, I'm just commenting on the debate itself.

LOL RANDUM.
