Read more than me? 2015 I read 17 books. I keep track.

I read 20 books in the months of October, November and December.

I keep track.

Well damn. Should have no problem writing a hundred word summary on Lord of The Flies. Hell I could and it's been a decade since I had to read it in high school.

I DON'T have a problem with doing it, other than the fact that I just spent the entire day

-studying for an english exam
-writing far more lengthy summaries of 5-ish other books
-researching and creating a slideshow for a presentation on Japanese culture

And then I realised I still was missing one book, and didn't feel like doing it. So I looked to the internet to see if anyone could be cool enough to have their summary lying around on their computer.

you think people are going to do your fucking easy ass homework for you which you obviously did half of it. theres a difference in asking for help and plagiarism you fuckwit. you disappoint me.

"Can I borrow your answers" would entail copying their answers, which is plagiarism.

But no, I did do my homework. I read the book.

Plus, I really don't care what "humanity achieves".

Because as nice of an ideal that this is, the office of the Presidency, the state of national politics and global affairs as a whole makes this extremely difficult to accomplish - it's kind of why we only see Presidents that graduate with college degrees (namely with law degrees) these days.

I don't see how a law degree helps in that regard.

I already said it in the fucking post you're quoting, dipshit. Read it.

I said "not by any rational standard" do you deserve to pass.

So you're asserting that the education system does not work by rational standards? You probably should've clarified that.

50% is FAR too low--the standard should be fucking 90%.

Well this is just your idealism talking. It doesn't matter if to pass a class, you SHOULD have a 90% -- in the real world, it's a 50%.

And you think you deserve to pass.

I still don't understand why I don't deserve to pass if I've done the minimum work required for a 50%.

Forgive me, but why does a leader need to have political experience to "matter"? Isn't the leader of the country meant to represent the people and their values, while making decisions that reflect that?

If you can do that, what's the issue?

Only to your sick and disturbed mind they are.

Yeah, because I'm the only one who finds 9/11 jokes funny.

I'm surprised how many people actually read the book on here. My brother-in-law told me about the book when I was 13 and said I would most likely enjoy it, so I borrowed his copy and read it. Then I saw the movie.

Then later on I borrowed and read the book again and recall shit differently.

Deci.

I don't fucking care.

TL;DR version: Do your homework kid, I read One flew over the cuckoo nest in Independent Study when I was your age and I had to write a summary for it. I didn't ask for the internet to write me one. Quit being a lazy bum.

1. I already read the book.
2. I've done my homework.
3. How old do you think I am?

You sure seem like you are.

Not my fault people only notice what they want to.

Being negative about everything is really annoying.

I'm not negative about everything.

You're a psychopath.

Literally how.

You

I've never done anything to warrant being your problem.

And also there's nothing wrong with being pessimistic.

i never said a single goddamn thing about "liking" your job, but okay

You said something about a "good" job. I took that to mean a somewhat enjoyable profession. To which I don't believe one exists.

i hope you get the shittiest fucking job ever, then

how about that

And what would that be?

Did you miss the part where I said I already have a job? It's not difficult at all to find work, you realise.

And let's take it even further. So I don't get a job... so what? Let's say my family doesn't care for me (which they will), and I end up homeless and starving... I'll just end up killing myself a bit earlier than expected.

But ultimately, I don't need that much money to survive. I don't need much space, I don't intend on owning pets or having children, I don't need an extensive wardrobe. I cut my own hair. I eat very little ($40 at the grocery store covers me a week and a half). And you can make some serious bank doing jobs no one wants to do -- like plant trees in BC. Sure, it's terrible work, but it pays extremely well.

No. If you did, you'd realize that you're being a shithead, and you need to stop fucking off assignments. So no, I don't think you do understand--and it sucks, because by the time you do understand, it's probably gonna be too late.

Then enlighten me. What are these mysterious consequences that I'm unaware of?

I'm just being honest.

You're hardly the first person to react this way, btw.

And how often do you make this mature and sagacious decision?

Fairly often, but not often enough to fail.

I've sort of mastered the art of doing just enough to pass.
