Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

It's really not surprising with a forum full of hyperactive 13 year olds, ranting on about the latest portal movies like they're godlike.

Yes. There are two ways to say the number "two" depending on the situation. There's one pronounced something like"leung" and "yee." It's hard to fuck up though, because the wrong version just doesn't even sound right enough for you to attempt. I've only seen someone fuck it up once and it was deliberately written in a comic strip where the white guy was learning chinese and he fucks it up and was too stupid to get corrected, so it doesn't count.

This is going nowhere, no matter what I say your going to have you whole "America is a country of idiots" opinion and nothing I or anyone else says it going to change that.

Basically this is the fucking internet I could spend the extra time to spell check everything to make sure I impress someone who could really care less about me. I'm on the net to be entertained and to have a good time not to be judged on what kind of person I am based on the way I choose to communicate.

I just feel its really lame that Americans are constantly looked down upon by other nations. I get enough discrimination and moronic values from people here as it is.

You believe that laziness is Americas downfall, I believe its people that try and force there beliefs on others. None of this shit really matters. I'm trying to live my fucking life and I don't feel correcting my grammar and spelling on an internet forum is a priority.

As I said before its not a competetion its just communicating.

Don't forget me.

speaking of imposing beliefs, didn't Fred Phelps go to some soldier's funeral to celebrate his death because he was gay?

Now that's shit that matters.

HAHA your right dude! You 0WN3D us all!

I don't know, this thread has challenged me to perfect my English. Why? Because its just another way that I am secretly judged. I also enjoy bettering myself as an indivual.

Heinous I challenge you to learn more about the people you judge. America has one of the worst educational systems in the world. I as a minority living in Detroit had to go to one of the worst schools in the country, We didn't have books the teachers were late and had a jaded opinion on teaching. You may ask why I didn't switch schools and I answer because we didn't have the money. Theres multiple factors in this equation and all of them have to do with drive.

My math skills are horrible mainly because I was never taught anything beyound fractions why because or math teacher quit. You may ask why the school never bothered to hire another teacher and its simple. The people in the school were to busy stealing the funds from the school to do something about it. People protested (myself included) protested this but were met with police resistance that threated violence if we didn't stop our dimenstration. You ask why people in my situation often lose hope its because every step of the way we are met with resistance.

I am doing better than most to maintain hope and read and learn all that I can but I admit I'm not doing all that I could. I worry that I am not as smart as others and that I am not doing enough to combat this. I will try my best but I normally get by saying "well as least I'm not as bad as others" but I am not doing enough to educate myself.

I'm always for learning more anyway.

If you're really interested in making up for lost time you have the internet now so use it. You only think it's hard to teach yourself because you were always told to learn from a teacher. Half the thing I learned in middle school math, I've already thought of when I was 5.

I still remember looking at the floor one day thinking "If I walk halfway to that cement seam, then halfway of what's left of it, then halfway of that and so on, I'll be really close to the seam but I'll never be really there!"

Guess what? That's called a fucking asymtote. I came up with that when I was fucking 5. You don't need a fucking teacher to teach you math. Her brain's just as big as yours. She only had a book to refer to. Your brain can already make the connections just read about them so you know which things to put 2 and 2 together with.

i hate 13 year olds, so less mature than 14 year olds, mainly because people start losing thier virginity at 14.

I just get frustrated easily math is something I never really liked. I got by in school by being the class clown. Later in my highschool life I became a loner and a free thinker distancing myself from what I saw as ignorance. People that refuse to experience other cultures because they were afraid of being viewed as someone thats lost touch with there culture. Being black sucks and its other black people that fuck it up. Its like if your smart your too good for everyone if you listen to music that others wouldn't listen to you're weird.

I feel so fucking lonely I feel that I'm not an complete idiot but I'm not intellegent either. I just am a guy that willing to learn more about any situation that is presented to me.

The only thing I have thats close to that is I constantly question what others readily accept as fac

Yeah, see? It's not too hard to do things without a teacher.

The crap is people don't realize how little other's differences matter until they get to college and have to live in dorms, and by that time they've already been mistreated for being different.

English has always been my favorite subject (surprise, surprise) but for the creative writing exercises.

I can imagine things that others cannot even being to understand. One of my mental exercises I use to clear my head is to imagine never existing. Now when I think of just nothingness I become calm its really stupid but it helps me alot of times when I'm angry.

All the time Heinous spent thinking up mathmatical equations in his head, I spent learning more about myself. And from that I think I learned more about others than I learned about myself. I took all my flaws and tried to change myself to make myself a better person. In the end I still know very little about myself and even less about everything else.

Communication is thought to be one of the main factors that set us apart from the "animals". Language is massively important. Mastery of language in all mediums (forums included, since text is how we're primarily interacting, for Christ's sake) will improve your mind in ways that are much more complex than knowing how to use an apostrophe.

In short, I agree.

Yeah.

Another point that I'd like to bring up in our defense is that you're talking about the Newgrounds BBS, which consists primarily of kids between the ages of 13-18. If you look at most of the flash content, it's mostly video game parodies and stickmen fighting. I'm by no means referring to every user on NG, but it's not exactly the creme de le creme in here.

Very, very offensive. Now to hang with my best friend and to see if he wants a cup of tea. Do you want some Mr KFC man?

i agree with you, it's mainly ignorance, lack of knowledge and use tends to lead to people not using the correct teminology, but we aren't all naive, so i don't think you should generalise an entire 2 colonies from experience you've had in the past, good point though

well i think i speak for all of us here when i say you can go fornicate yourself with an iron stick

lol i love family guy

Considering most of the users here are like 13.......i suppose no one should be surprised, Spelling can matter but not all the time.......if you have not noticed already, i'll let you in on a secret.....Not everyone is a smartass...

What about my explanation for it: They're gay.

I agree with you... they should be more carefull about the spelling but i dont thing they are a "disgrace to their heritage" mostly because everybody can make a mistake.

I doubt sexual preference has anything to do with typing skill.

Whenever I use chat, all grammar, spelling etc is blown away as I need to type fast. But I think it's just courtesy (sp?) to make your posts readable to anyone who gives a dam.

Oh yeah, i like the way you screwed up your post, if your gonna complain about others peoples grammar etc you might as well triple check if you've messed up cose ya don't wana l00k lke an 1dit.

My English is, quite literally, impeccable.

Win, topic of the day.
