Everything i have said is relevant to the "report" ( by the way, why do you keep giving fancy titles to a blog entry....paper, report etc ). You claim your report is completely unbiased but it cannot be, as it has been written by you and will always be tempered by what you experienced.

An unbiased report would need to be written by you but with you having had no first hand experience and working off information gathered through interviews from other students etc.

This is an important distinction that you have been ignoring i fear.

Your report could never be unbiased, the very fact that you do not like Wesley and wrote a report to give the reasons why means that it is a certain level of bias that began the report to being with.

I feel sorry for you that as a great and logically mind you cannot even see this simply truth.

What truth?

It is unbiased, not once does the report say "I think" or "I feel that" it dealt in Facts. There was one section with my own brief opinon. It was comparable (except for my grammatical errors) to something you'd see in a newspaper....

i got 1100 when i was 12/13

SAT is different now, it's not as easy.

Also, lets face fact, I'm crap at maths. :-)

I'm used to having people tear my arguments apart, I do debate :-P I can only improve on it.

I don't doubt it for a second considering how flimsy the logic and facts you base your "arguments" on are

Orionetheus wrote:

While all of you have been ripping on me, I've gotten around a dozen people or so either mailing me telling me I'm right, PMing me or leaving me comments saying I'm right.

Strange how they're not doing so publicly isn't it?

I am a smart kid, yes I've made mistakes we all have at some point, WC doesn't work for me, and I don't like the geographical socio economic divide in Dublin.

No one would give the slightest damn here about your social status or IQ, what people are being incited by is your complete lack of social grace, your attack on our culture/youth/education system, your blatant rudeness and, most of all, your arrogance for creating the blog and, worse yet, posting it on boards - a predominantly irish user group - and expecting to be... thanked for your "insight"?

You're not bashing back out of a cordiality, morality or a sense of democracy - you simply cannot defend your point of view and supposed "logic". Even in the last 2 hours you've contradicted yourself on about 10 occassions.

(I know I said I wouldn't reply but I'm beggining to think that repitition is the only way it'll sink in)

Yes could we please lock this? I keep saying the same things over and over and so does everyone else.

Anyone wants to keep arguing add me to msn or email me, it's in the first post :-P

Yeah, a tabloid newspaper. I admit, I only got around to reading your 'report' there, and my god does it smell of RANT.

Matthewthebig

Not as easy or you're not as smart as you claim.

The drop in grades was due to the fact that the american system is easier and you couldn;t deal with it

Keep it fact based and as civil as possible - there's no need to give him the moral upper ground

I got marked down on a test for using the wrong type of pen.

that is not harder, it's more burecratic.

Matthewthebig

THE WRONG PEN!!!!

Your excuses are getting pathetic.

Crash

1210 at age 14 for me - HAH matthew, i'm 2 years smarter than you! hHAHAHAH.

also, OP, a wise man once said only those who know no better can suggest full, definite answers to problems.

Methinks you know no better.

Also, the SAT is designed (while slightly sociologically jilted) to be unbiased in anyway. its much more of a mental and verbal reasoning test (along the lines of the drumcondra tests and other such things here) than a test of what you've learned like the LC. so you really can't compare.

So wouldn't that mean that you're much stupider than Matthewthebig because he's irish and did better than you much younger? I mean, you had an age bonus, you had a school system based around the exam, you had more formal education. Either they made it a ridiculous amount harder, and I don't believe they did, or you're much stupider than MoJu here

And that's saying a lot, because he ain't the brightest pickle in the jar

Extremely true.

OctavarIan

btw, if you're not going to follow a rule because it's 'illogical', good luck in life.

And not being given homework is no excuse. Pick up a book and do some yourself, show initiative.

A trait of real intelligence is learning to adapt. Obviously you are missing that one.

Matthewthebig

hey hey hey. I am a smart pickle

Don't you find it slightly rediculous that I get marked down for using the wrong kind of pen yet displaying the same information?
