Chicago- I was just thinking that...lol

Adam- you seem very mature for 16. Congratulations and happy birthday.

Goodnight

No, not being a drama queen. Are you being a backwoods redneck? We can exchange insults all day but I prefer to just speak honestly to you.
I, personally, would prefer to have a president who can actually think on his own and formulate responses on his own (have you ever seen the man expound on his own, without written responses?) as well as be able to scribble on a page with passable grammar. That's not asking for too much.
As for accepting people for what they do and say, I don't think anyone is not doing that here. The problem is that grammar and its continual downward spiral is of GREAT interest to thinking people in this country and we would like to put pressure on the wound...maybe even sew it up and prevent more bleeding. I have seen some papers a friend of mine who teaches has had to grade. It is beyond shameful.
And then our prez cuts education spending in favor of upping the military budget. To which I say, "woo woo."

Well, Tiff, I just meant to describe the stupidity of people...the dems complained because the repubs yelled at them for ripping down republican posters...

tell me where the logic is in that....

Anyway,

I must go to bed - early morning tomorrow!

Peace out, and read my review about Andre's show on the main board

Peace

see, Plum, I didn't want to say that because...some may not know...

::hides palm pilot behind back::

Ahhh...I'm floating now. As you may know, I have a little problem in which I need to hear it to feel appreciated.
English is my favorite subject, and all of my friends just don't understand how I can like it.

Yes, I'm *only* :-p 16, but Type_A_Tiff, I don't think I will be allowed to drive at this point; I may stalk Adam Pascal when he comes back to Westchester after the Rent movie!

Adamaddict, there's nothing wrong with seeking anonymous virtual validation once in a while! (So you're gonna stalk Adam Pascal huh? Are you gonna, like, walk around town to find him? )

Plum, it's funny because the person in question here is preaching about accepting others with differing viewpoints and not passing judgment unless you are perfect, yet she has not failed to pass judgment and criticize me and several others on here while taking entirely out of context what we had to say. Hello pot? You're black!

Chicago, I'm not demanding people have perfect grammar. I am a big literophile and read like a demon, I have a BA in English and I still make grammatical errors in addition to typos (although I did type 98 words per minute with no mistakes on my last typing test, thank you very much).
The issue at hand about grammar here is that, if you can demand it of your scholastic writing, why would you suddenly be lax here? Again, I say typos are one thing but continual errors from laziness are simply beyond me if you're going to attempt to be better when you're writing for academia.

Oh man, that time I agreed with Bwaysinger's complete posting

BSo, sweetie, believe it or not, even after all of your concentrated Phantom Chicken spam attacks of random posts on a million of these threads, brace yourself about this...Not all of these posts revolve around you. And believe it or not, there are many who do not know about the Raggy situation(s), nor is this the time or place to hash it out. I actually think I've been quite civil to the bugger tonight, haven't I? (Am I going soft?)

ETA: Funnily enough, I just received a PM from someone thinking I was alluding to HER (as in, the sender)! So the RQP situation is certainly not that high profile.

bwaysinger, what do you do with a BA in English? (Only partially a joke - I just want to know that I won't be entirely hopeless and on social assistance once I finish my BA this term!)

Type, it wouldn't be the first time I've stalked him . However, the two long-awaited prescious times have been at more common fangirl places like the stage door and Joe's Pub.

hey hey hey. I think I take the prize, Tiff and addict....

Rock on. Can I have a spelling award, too? You know, so that this post fits into this thread?

"And believe it or not, there are many who do not know about the Raggy situation(s), nor is this the time or place to hash it out."

And although, this not the time or place to bring the Raggy situation up, Tiff still must get her way by forcing it in somehow or another. It's a wonder how people try to get attention.

I tell ya it's true- People who are incompetant about themselves or have low self-esteem often feel the need to bring others down to make themselves feel superior.

I have low self esteem and often I am incompetant, but it sure doesn't seem to effect me so much that I feel I need to harass others in a negative way for attention.
