Exactly, the USA is just as evil as Russia. USians think they're helping by spreading their shit around and preventing the commies from spreading their shit, but it really isn't. It's just your opinion of what's important, not the truth, so hopefully you guys get over it soon and stop being such assholes on the global stage..
Years of training? Maybe if you're of average intelligence.
What's more interesting is that people with well functioning bodies actually make better engineers. Because the engineering concepts used in the human body are way more advanced than the crappy simplified squares that engineers build. Geeks think they're so cool because the can work out the formula for a ballistic trajectory on paper, when that is child's play compared to actually getting your body to calculate a throw and actually accomplish it.
Ah, you so you know what the rest of the world feels like when confronted with the US as a whole. Good, maybe you can do the world a favour and change that.
No, what he's saying is, that unlike you, he just did what he wanted and to hell with what other people thought.
By the looks of the comments here, there are several of us like that and we continued regardless of all the obstactles we faced.
It is nobodies fault you were more interested in made up fantasies than the world around you. Stop being a sad sap blaming others and take some responsibility for your life.
I went through all of those. Well, except the d's, what is that a failure? For some strange reason about 15% of my class was advanced.
High school was worse because I'd get 50% on every math homework plus detention, almost every single day! The problem? I couldn't 'show' my work. I couldn't understand all the stupid and illogical steps people used to solve alg. Give me a formula and I'd give you an answer, hell I don't even do basic math like westerners which seems to be based more on remembering things than actually understanding what the hell is going on.
College and University were even worse. People would get mad at me for interrupting the teacher when they were teaching something wrong. Even in my honours courses people were more interested in marks than learning. I was pretty ostracized.
..and these gifted teachers are available quite cheaply in the form of books. None of my teachers had any problem with me reading advanced texts while the regulars struggled with whatever basic concept was being discussed.
If your teachers can't even think of such a simple solution then there's definitely a bigger problem in your education system.
"Ditch digging is hard work" sure, but it's much harder to find someone smart.
Are you sure about that? Citation? Why would you think that the amount of well functioning brains is lower than the amount of well functionning bodies?
There's always good teachers like that, though it doesn't seem enough.
Eventually my teachers just gave me advanced books to read, let me sleep during their lectures, and stopped trying to 'teach' me because their teaching left me a retard while the autodidactism brought out the genius.
I did, I plan on experimenting with it in comparison to a composting toilet and a biogas digester. Now go read the patent, when you realize it's not feasible for an urban setting put away your cock, this isn't a pissing contest.
oh, and yeah, you really do need onsite training for composting toilets. While the USA has put out a lot of informative booklets on sustainable practices they're always a little lacking on the proper maintenance.

What you say is true only for social awkward geeks with their qidditch broom up their ass. Seriously, get a life.

Right, nobody.

ah fuck, not worth it. Apparently sometimes like doesn't recognise like.
Yup, definitely a quality US education there.

Same here! Though the fact that I couldn't see the blackboard might have helped with the visualization!

Sure glad I didn't have a negative nancy like you for a parent!

Ah, i see you mentionned football...
Your writing shows you might be overly familiar with education in the US. :p
Sure you can. Walk into a library sometime.

In general, liberals the world over are actually interested in learning and not just paying for their 'education'.
Second, I don't live anywhere near Great Britain. All I got was the micro-usb cable.

without him their prophecies wouldn't be fulfilled.
Careful, your western nature is showing in that you think material possesions equal happiness!
cognitive dissonance much?
