LOL, I wish Roy Zimmerman was my uncle...

Great points Roy! Any thoughts about the interaction of education with the exceedingly high prison population in CA? Anybody? Crime, addiction, poverty, et cetera, all interacting with education. Fund it people! Reform it people! Should we really be paying "superintendents" the salary of 4-5 teachers? Admin does not teach and teach is the basic goal of an educational system. I'm out.

Why the "Six" and "Nine" names?

@aqwiz So how does one, (aside from having a ridiculously small phallus) proclaim to be an arachno(spider)phile(lover[wit­h sexual connotations])

@arachnophile01 You obviously either A. don't understand sarcasm. or B. have no frickin clue what you are talking about. shezus this comment was what 4 months ago?

I wasn't saying anything against computer science itself, I was poking fun at the degree system, which doesn't teach real-life application, just theory. I personally HAVE met quite a few computer science majors with degrees, who were completely incompetent, my point is, degrees don't mean shit.

@aqwiz anyone who uses the word n00b, against the verry computer science that created the online games in which the phrase was poularized is a hypocrit

Hats off to music teachers! This is why blackberries, i pods, video games, face book, malls, sports teams, entertainment, & war, are constantly being pushed by few elite at top. If public curriculum actually taught students to be self-thinkers, elite would have to deal with conscientious objectors thus making less $ on prisons wars. Our Constitution is being stolen right under our noses while the corporate government leads future generations into a more potent form of slavery & drug addiction.
