Math is the easiest goddamn subject people. It's either right, or it's wrong. Fuck answering in a goddamn sentence. Fuck the memory game. The answer is false.

Math is way easier than history. To pass a history test you have to learn the answer to all the questions. You cannot answer a history question unless you have already memorized the answer. To pass a math test you only have to learn one thing and then you can answer zillions of questions you have never seen before.

Please try to see it from a different perspective. Maths might be easy for you but for others it can be impossible. Math doesn't come as easily to people who hate it, but they're probably proficient in other fields.

Has anyone actually considered that people hate math for a very good reason? Some people just aren't good at it. They're not retarded like mathheads want them to think. Math is important for some people and without it, we wouldn't have a lot of useful inventions, but forcing it on people who would rather do something else is pointless. If you want people to stop hating math, don't force them to take it.

There's Pi as well, about a math genius with mental problems.

And Proof, about a math genius whose father's a math genius with mental problems.

There are plenty of math problems which are not "either right or wrong."

if any math haters come across, guess what? Without math, you wouldn't have any free internet porn to wank off too. Now, fuck off.

They're all saying 'meth.' Unhear it, I dare you.

Rainman? lol

theres that awful series numbers, or that movie about the sexy card counting types, I think the problem is hollywood is bullshit, rather than it hates maths per se.
