Next, JohnK will be tellin' us he dropped out in grade 9!

I flunked 2nd grade, because I couldn’t read, damm dyslexia.

I also skipped most of my senior year of high school since I turned 18 half way through. Back then in AZ you could write your own excuses if you were 18 so I just had friends turn in my home work and showed up for tests.

The office workers use to bitch at me when I’d write excuses like “Kidnapped by Pirates.” bureaucrats . . . no sense of humour.

I used to write my own notes to get out early, or take a day off in high school, mostly gr 9-10(age 15-16). When I say "wrote my own note", I mean signing one of my parents name on it....I always wondered years later if the school mailed those notes back to my parents or not. I'm still alive, so I guess my dad never saw them.

Notes? You guys used notes? I was never brave enough to write a note, I just told the teachers I had an appointment of some kind, Denist, Doctor, for some 'injury' and I was out the door, no questions asked

Fixed. Put people in the mix and there will be exploitation. We are all evil captialists (ie: selfish) at heart.

Oooooh, did you get one of the padded rooms?

The human element is why communism doesn't work either. Great concept on paper and in theory. Applied it has shown to fail time and time again to be oppressive and exploitative to its people. Every political and economic system is not perfect and flawed in its own particular way.

No, our room was concrete.

QFT.

What does quantum field theory have to do with this?
