ok Who thinks that the word for shortening a word and making it easyer to spell: "abriviation" is waaay to long and hard to spell, lol. kinda paradoxical don't you think?

sorry about that, you dont have to leave, you just have to take your own advice...
'Scroll back... waaay back...'
then you'll understand :p
Art Wolf
09-06-2004, 01:22 pm
Comprehension slowly begins to work...though my statement of 'gak' remains ;)
Course best point out gon etc are the past tense of going so you really couldnt use them :)
Shadow
09-06-2004, 03:27 pm

Hogso
09-06-2004, 03:29 pm

Noize_Otaku
09-06-2004, 03:43 pm

that pepends on your perception of cheating, in your eyes yes it it may be but to many others its not, thus you are both right and also wrong, i could go deeper with this point but it would serve no greter purpose so oh well there you go problem solved

Well by that nothing will ever be right or wrong - if there is ever a descission to be made of something that would imply at least on person disagreed if only slightly etc..
Furthur more if you look at the Catholic church for instance I believe you will find that they, now this is in VERY broad terms ;), say if you acted in such away that it was wrong but you thought was right then there was no wrong commited - along the lines of "I did what I thought was right" and all
...thats all for now :)

Heres a nice little quote for you:
''Disobedience is mans original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress will be made.''

Surely one of my favourite quotes :)

lol i guess but it depends on the majoritys vote and descision and it also depends on social norms, steryo types etc.
lol it also depends upon in which diemention you view the event and the laws of that diemention, notably, the law will most likely win over if u killed sum 1 claiming to be a termanator and that that person was dangerous to the future as after that u'd have only ur self and u'd be chucked in the loonie bin lol

lol i managed to make my german teacher collapse on the floor crying once lol well twice, take to long to type.
my m8 managed to get a teacher to quit and end up working at mac-donalds lol
Art Wolf
16-06-2004, 10:50 am
Hmm best point out that I really think it sucks getting on a teachers case - they have a job to do and all just like you will someday.
As to GTO - thats Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO)
A gang member and simple bum turned teacher you is given the shitest of classes - and when it gets too much for him in the first book he simply gives up and calls in his gang friends and sort out the punk kids :) But its VERY funny ^^
Akion
16-06-2004, 10:48 pm
lol yes but some teachers aint really good teachers, if they cannot get respectt without shouting at you for an ounce of it then they aint fit to teach you
Shadow
16-06-2004, 11:14 pm
the best teachers are definitly those who treat u as a person rather then the annoyance we all probly have been in one way or another
Akion
17-06-2004, 01:11 am
lol i only ever started to annoy teachers once i started re-taking my GCSEs lol as i found the course pointless lol only ones i actully listened to were my psychology teacher and my old maths teacher who left half way through :'(
Shadow
17-06-2004, 02:34 pm
trust me the best student in the class still annoys the teacher-b it thro arrogance at bein the smartest or them not bein able to find nething with which to challenge them or(in my case) never endin questions that would take all lesson to answer- or until they tell me to shut up for 5 mins- heh

Heh I was exempt from Irish in my school so whenever class begins I simply take out some sci-fi book or other and start reading. I simply made sure I never drew attention to myself and the class was pretty hectic one day. Teahcer got pissed off at them and said "Right if you continue on in this fashion you will fail your Junior Cert and if you fail that your fucked! Currently the best student here is John *lays hand on my shoulder* cause he simply shuts up - like the rest of you idots should do!!"
God when she left we cracked up :D And I kept rubbing it in that I was considered the best irish student in the class for the rest of the year ;)
Oh good fun :)
Shadow
19-06-2004, 04:16 pm
heh i've had a few classes like that- notably year 10 business- the teacher had a daily thing of leavin the lesson cryin
Art Wolf

And I assume those werent tears of joy ;)
I guess it would be OK to abbreviate "abbreviation" as "breve" or "breviforme".... Unless it's a verb, in which case it would still end up as "breviformation".... :p
