party up

Ugh. The last straw. In a world where we're worried about the future, there's a guy in Finland that's published a book written entirely in text message. lol, lmao, and whatever else people are texting. Sorry txting. Soon it'll be commonplace for people to say "LOL" at work and mean it. When does it stop? It'd be cool if we started to talk binary but otherwise stop it. Stop being stupid people. A little extra work never killed anyone, in fact if you don't start doing the little extra work I'm going to pay you a visit!

Suicide bomber kills two. Well, he only killed one other person beside himself. Still, we get the message. I can't believe people write "the suicide bomber killed himself..." Whoa! Really? A suicide ends with the person killing themselves? *gasp* That's like, a skydiver falls towards the ground. This is news! Quick someone call the New York Times, I've got a Page 1 story! What would really be newsworthy is a suicide bomber that detonates himself and lives. I bet they go to extraordinary measures to save the bastard too.

OK, the skydiver crack was because I read this story that someone's probably going to make into a TV movie. The things people do for love.

(bleep) save the Queen! Ha. (bleep)damnit! I'd do something like that just to do it and get fired. So I could fill out the reason I got fired from my last job as, "I bleeped out the word (bleep) in movies.)

(bleep)damnit. I'm serious now. This is just (bleep)ing retarded, those dumb(bleep) mother(bleep)ers. State-funded same-sex schools? How does that solve anything? Except maybe take us back to the 1800's. "Oh, it gives the girls a chance to voice themselves in class." REALLY? Well then maybe we can put all the blacks in their own school so they can be taught in ebonics. And how about putting all the Mexicans in a Spanish speaking school? Hmm. Look, I'm not saying that girls should be oppressed in class by their male counterparts, but sadly it's the real world. They should learn how to compete for things, because in their future they'll be going up for jobs against men and won't know how to handle it and get all emotional and cry and stuff. Yeah, that was sort of sexist but it's better than going on a shooting ramage like a guy would. Look Leonard Sax, executive director of the National Association for Single Sex Education, pull your head out of your (bleep) and get your (bleep) together. Competition is healthy. Being competitive is a good thing, that's how advancements come about. But put girls in a class by themselves makes as much sense as having a pro football player go up against a bunch of Special Olympics athletes in some flag football.

oppression, not necessarily. much research shows that both girls and boys benefit from gender-segregated learning environments, just because of the different ways in which they learn. if boys dominate the discussions, then that's the teacher's fault. but studies do show that the two genders benefit from different styles of teaching, because they learn in such different ways. i can think of a few boys back in HS that i'd like to have had thrown out on their bleeping bleeps, though.

point taken, but what about cross-gender interaction? i think that's important too. if not as important as what is learned from books.

i agree inter-gender interaction is important. that's why parents/teachers/schools should offer programs that build necessary social/collaborative work skills between the genders. but i still think girls and boys could benefit from separate math classes. for instance.
