Well I have taken the test after studying my arse off. It hasn't been graded yet but I can almost guarantee I made a good grade. Thanks for all the help guys and thanks Suds for recommending Wikipedia I never thought of using that as a study tool.

I can't agree with you more Sudhish.
The bullshit going around that Wikipedia is largely false is downright annoying, especially considering the educational value it holds.
I've been screwed on many a project/assignment because I couldn't use Wikipedia as an official source, despite the fact that is was far and away the best source of information.
Here's the eighth (5/4) installment of my signature, which will consist of lyrics from my favorite bands/artists (And ones you should check out):
"So ***, the flocks, of sheep that keep amassing masses,
Asses being led so far astray.
And I won't claim to believe the things I read,
Black books or agenda magazines,
I'd rather see in shades of gray.
-Tomas Kalnoky (Streetlight Manifesto)

I have never found wikipedia to be wrong but there is always that risk that someone got the wrong information so I wouldnt use it for school.
Please tell me if you have GTA IV on either system so I can put you on the list. Need to find cheats? Click the link. Link

I'm not saying you should trust it, I'm saying you guys should give it a thorough chance--not poke your head into four-five articles and make highly intuitive guesses on it.

Probably, but I don't need to in any way. One, I think it's pretty evident my "intelligence" is pretty high, and I know that Wikipedia has been a tremendous factor in making it so.
I do assume it at first, in large part due to the fact that I've only met three-four people who I would consider at WORST as smart as I am. Gamers and those recovering from gaming tend to spend too much time thinking about ways to succeed in games to actually make enough room to be even generally smart people. It's done no harm to me thus far in assuming it. Probably because it's my honest opinion of myself ( not all positive opinions of oneself are compensation/ arrogant opinion), and, dare I say it, it's most often the case. If it angers or annoys you that I have the gumption to actually come out and say this, by all means strut your stuff on me. But doing nothing but complaining/ bitching and harrassing in defense certainly doesn't hurt my case, does it?

Why would I "strut my stuff"? I don't feel it necessary to toot my own horn. A man is only as great as his actions.

How is there any less of a chance of wrong information at any other site? Laypeople are the primary communicators of most research-savvy web sites.

You really think because you read every bit of information off wikipedia, that means you're smart?

You must not have ever read the rules.
He did not break any rules, and here's how:
He made a normal post (the first one)
He is allowed to make speperate post for seperate quotes. Three posts in a row that are all perfectly legal.

Well that, and how he says that he's smart during his spare time rather than socializing/playing sports/gaming/etc.
Out of curiousity, what do you have against females? You seem to bash them a lot. Personally I hate fashion and all that crap, but if it's what they like to talk about and such then it isn't a waste of time, for someone that plays Brawl you seem to bash having fun and playing video games a bit too much.
| Your last sentence is right, and thinking is an action. Communicating the thoughts is a greater, more encompassing action. |

Depends on the value of the thoughts, if I discuss my thoughts on what the greatest Pokemon card is, that's not a very great action. I meant it more in a long term fashion anyways, when a person dies all that really matters is his actions in life, did he cause good things? Did he cause bad things? Did he focus his life purely on his own pleasure?

The thing is...This has happened when my wife WASN'T home...I think it may be my 17 year old daughter. I've looked in her room and she has some of the same sex toys and she has written in her journal that she is into that same kind of fetish. What should I do?"
