Yes, I'm male. Its probably really evident, given my username "Alan".
Alan, Eatmorchiken didn't think you were a girl, he thought Escapay was.

Random.....

Just so this post isn't spam, I've had a huge amount of homework lately. AP World History is killing me.

Horray for on-topicness.......

Just had to pop in and say this:

Obviously, you DID NOT read my last reply, or you simply skimmed it...

Fine, I believe it.

I bolded the part where I'm basically giving Alan the benefit of the doubt. He has four hours of homework, and while I'll find the concept ridiculous, I cannot argue with it anymore.
Alan wrote:I can't believe how people can't accept that I have four hours of homework.

I gave you two quote above that shows that I'm basically believing you. I don't know you or your personal life, so I have to give you the benefit of the doubt and say that you do have four hours of homework. But I still stand by my opinion that I find the entire concept of four hours of homework ridiculous! How many times do I have to say it? It's MY opinion, not to be taken for flat fact, yet you still keep thinking that I don't believe that you have four hours of homework. I don't know what else to say anymore, it just flies over your head, doesn't it?
Alan wrote:Whatever.
Geez, the things I say always end up misconstrued and I have to waste my time trying to fix it all only to have it be disregarded with a Whatever. Why am I even trying to get Alan to listen to me? All I'll get is a Whatever, or a "My cousin goes to Ivy League!" or "How come you don't believe me when I say I have Four Hours of Homework!"

If anything, the flipping of a Whatever is a sure sign that you definitely did not read my last reply, where I'm basically handing to you on a silver platter that I believe you have four hours of homework.

HEY EVERYONE, ALAN HAS FOUR HOURS OF HOMEWORK!

Is that good enough?
Kram wrote:All I have to say is you forgot who you used to live with...
No, I definitely remember. But my opinion of four hours of homework is based on the concept of someone sitting in front of a table for four hours STRAIGHT doing nothing but homework. Like you said, you took long because of other factors. You NEVER sat down for four hours doing nothing but homework. Alan, on the other hand, is insisting that is what he does, and I am basically saying that I think the concept of it all is ridiculous.

Alan, if you actually do read this entire post and my other one, quote this and please reply that you understand. Not a limited to one-liners or a Whatever. I really really want proof that you have read and understood everything I have said.

And of course, if he skims this and doesn't bother, I'll just shake my head because my point will not be taken and I'll have wasted a lot of Luke's bandwidth trying to get my point across. So Luke, I'm extremely sorry for my lengthy posts in this topic as they fell on blind eyes. I'm gonna take a break from UD for a few days to make up for the bandwidth lost.

And I say that 4 hours of homework in High School is pretty typical. There's nothing remarkable about it. Like I said I have to study 8 hours a day in all of my classes but I also have to work so I don't actually study 8 hours a day. It's more like 1 or 3 hours a day. :)

I know cuz I was there, I had to do the same exact things you're doing right now. Well not exact but I still had to do some homework and I didn't have a job so that made it easier for me.

Not us.
In fact CSU uses their own network to suppy students with resources and what not. Like our homework is posted on the web and we also turn in our homework on the web.

No where you put the book into the machine and it reads it in like seconds flat. Then you have a wire and hook it up to your head and it feeds you the information.
I know I gone insane. :D

Actually at one time a theory like that was used in a disney movie, the movie was Monkey's Uncle.

Where they taught these kids by putting it on a lp, and putting wires on their heads and it transferred the info to their brain why they slept. Only prob was the next day in class when they answered the questions, they came out in Annette Funicello's voice lol.
