What I did in Math today

[GeorgieGirl]

Junior, I have raised two successful children. I don't think you have an ounce of where-with-all to suggest to me that I am incapable of giving evaluative and supportive advice to others simply because it is contrary to your limited and tiny scope of the world or beliefs. I wish you much successs as well, but with your ****ty and jealous outlook on life, I don't think you'll go as far as the (creative) risk takers that you seem inclined to want to hold back.

If you think for one second that you can't acheive what you put your mind to then you surely don't know a thing about determination and ought to be schooled about human nature.

You make the weirdest assumptions. My tiny scope of the world? As in seeing it? You did notice I mentioned I am prior military right? I've worked on aircraft in multiple time zones in the same day so I've been around the block and have seen much more than you could ever think I have. You don't have to wish me success, I have it. I have a beautiful wife, 2 healthy kids, and I am collecting a large monthly check to once again further my education. Telling people that all you have to do is believe in themselves is fairy tale crap. You need to work hard, or win the lottery. Odds are, however, that just having a good outlook on life will not cut it.

You are just a fickle hypocrite, you come here to promote this kid drawing on his hand in math class, yet you post in my thread that I'm being robbed in my education because I received an A for something that you disagreed with. Get over yourself, your contradictory logic and your crazy assumptions. I'm not sitting here telling you what I think you are doing, or have done or who you are. However, I am beginning to see a trend with you; either you are looking to create drama in every thread you post in, or you are looking to just make waves with me. Knock it off, because you don't know me.

You should block me if it'lll make you feel better. Really.

Beats the hell out of the exam I was taking -_____o


I <3 you all

Tevo, I love this photo so much I just wanted to bring it back in front to the top of the pile. How long did this take you to do? And the big question I have....your little man avatar and the one one you wrist...is this an orignal character that you sketched? It's like a trademark.

Sucking up to be on doodle #2, LOL

A good friend of mine once said: nothing is free in life, you need to take what you want.

No, I'm not a representer that way. Its really artistic though and I wonder what art classes he's taken. I *think* he said his GF did the hand-i work, if so, maybe its her avatar man than. Its a dead ringer.

Wow, this thread is 8 pages long, seriously? Why is it that the threads that aren't really meant to go anywhere end up turning into massive debates of an existential nature and/or a flame war? I'm not knocking the original post or anything, I just don't think ol' Tevo expected all this when he posted it.

I was trying to be friendly and shout-out to people I am relatively close to on TPF. O_O

However, I have enjoyed the discussion - it's shown me a bunch of different perspectives on things, and even altered a few of my own.

I lot of these debates are fun and can be educational, don't get me wrong. Like I said, not knocking the post or the whole thread for that matter. I just find it fascinating how much attention they get.

I actually love threads like these...well, atleast the ones with humor and not name-calling. Although I didn't think reading all the comments was necessary, I am glad I caught the link halfway.

Thank you guys! I didn't know the Khan Academy existed; I will certainly explore that link better tonight bit it looks awesome.

I was like you in the math department, It embarrasses me now that my circle of friends and husband are all computer science majors with awesome math skills. I'm only 23, so instead of feeling inferior, I try to teach myself with help from them.
My high school wasn't even bad, I was just a kid that was on a clear path of self destruction. I could have used some discipline in my life. I discovered last year that dyslexia disrupts my sister and brother, so I took a look at my old tests.... yep, a lot of my mistakes were from swapping numbers.
I guess I just wanted to say, thank you guys for posts like these, you can't imagine the helpful posts I find from commenter. I feel the same whether its photography related or Off topic.

Also, Bitter, you rock.

People don't realize how much food additives and processed foods affect the bodies chemistry and create an inability to concentrate. Its easy to skip meals before or while in school or to grab a chemical filled beverage labeled drink or juice or or soda and you're off to a bad start. Little one's lunch boxes, how much red food dye chemical is in their daily intake? How many preservatives, much sugar? If I had to raise my kids from scratch again, I'd make all of their food myself and they would only eat chemical free and organic.

Possibly the most mature, reasoned post out of this entire exchange? Maybe???

More impressed with this kid's simple statement than somebody claiming he's "ex-military"...as if that excuses boorish behavior...
