    Calculus IS part of the standard curriculum in most districts.

  2. Re:Optimism at it's best on Scientists Solve Mystery of Star Formation Near Black Holes · · Score: 2, Insightful
    I am of greater than average intelligence and the "calculus" you speak of is completely incomprehensible to me. You must really think highly of yourself if you think that just because you're good at something everyone else must be good a it or they aren't of even "average intelligence."

    Mod me a troll if you want, but you know I'm right.

    Just because it's all the rage to claim American students are stupid, public schools suck, bla bla bla, it is in most cases not supported by the evidence. Here come all the people giving examples of bad schools yet completely ignoring the fast majority of fine schools.

    There are a fucking ton of articles. Look for yourself.

    This is true for early (modern) Olympic athletes. The proper role was to look like one never practices and doesn't need to try. Pretty messed up.

    "The South Ossetians have wanted to split from Georgia for 10+ years now via several democratic votes, and identify themselves with the Russians (" People keep saying this...and? We in the U.S. had a civil war over some states that tried to leave our Union. Sure, they had the right to try, but as American land the federal government had every right to go to war with them to stop it. Georgia has every right to keep their land, by war if necessary.

    Doesn't change the fact that they are still in Georgia, not Russia.

    They attacked. Georgia broke no treaty, as it had already been broken.

    Chronic anxiety is a potentially crippling condition, and marijuana can help certain people. How is that ridiculous?

    It's not his job to prove a negative assertion, it's YOUR job to prove the assertion. I guess they aren't teaching logic in Japan?

    The prime directive was a nice idea but in the real world is complete bullshit that no one should ever stick to.

    Holy shit, YOU ARE THE ARROGANT ONE. People on slashdot seem to have an interesting mental issue where they take faults that they in fact have and project it onto others who they don't agree with. Pretty fucked up.

    Way to ignore all the huge protests we've had in the last few years. Oh yeah, that's really a lot of "apathy." Good job spouting a cliche, too bad it's not true.

  19. Re:It could have gone a lot better.... on Scrabulous Returns To Facebook, As Wordscraper · · Score: 1

    Just because you agree with the laws and still break them doesn't mean others have to. What you basically said is that nobody has the right to disagree with a law that you don't disagree with. They can break it, but GOD FORBID they actually disagree with the existence of said law. Something's wrong with your reasoning, and it shouldn't be too hard for you to figure out what.

    There is absolutely nothing unfair about it. You don't like paying for those people? Too bad. You buy insurance, you understand that you are paying for other people's health until you need it. You don't get to say that others can't continue the lifestyle they want because it might cost you money. There's a very easy way to fix that, cancel your insurance you entitled moron.

    I am also an atheist. Newsflash, most athiest know more about your faith than you do. In fact, many of us even have degrees in it and study it for a living.

  24. Re:Order of the Arrow on Mormon Church Goes After WikiLeaks · · Score: 1

    I HAVE studied them, for years, and you are wrong. My undergraduate degree is in religious studies working on finishing my PhD in the same. I have extensively researched many different researchers' work ranging from academics in religious studies to historians/historians of religion and even geologists, as well as done much of my own published research. There is very little to no historical support for anything miraculous in the New or Old Testament, including the existence of the Christian prophet nor the escape of a large amount of people from Egypt. Anyone who claims there is - is either lying or drastically misrepresenting the data.
