Speaking of education, I talked to this 18year old guy from UK. And I was pretty shocked to hear he never even heard of Tolstoy and Dostoyevski. I mean, how is that possible ? I dont wanna sound arrogant, but their books are classics. I just thoght people all around the world learn about them. Its kinda off topic, yeah...
I'm in a great mood. The weather is beautiful, and I'm about to go to class, where all the other students stare at me with awe and fear as I give eloquent and beautiful answers to the teacher's questions.
I agree Fitz, the culture plays a big part of it... You can bring back the topic of apathy from the other thread into this. Maybe he's just an idiot. Off to class I go.
it probably just wasn't a part of his field of interest or majors in school. or he coulda just gone to a real shit school.
in my high school we'd choose a literature minor: french, italian, russian. the rest was english based stuff in english class. i have to admit, it wasn't for a lack of trying with the teachers. we had some really wonderful teachers. i really hated my classmates, though. fucking boneheaded fashion obsessed morons.
Oh I didnt know you had to choose literature minors...Its all obligatory here . russian, italian etc.
yea, pretty much...need a good understanding of that. i have a few books i want to pick up on these subjects...just need the money
I'd like to learn magic / Majik again. Not the shit that Paul Daniels prick does.( English people know what I mean). But stuff like voodoo , Wicca and stuff , mind control etc And the Chinese stuff where u knock someone over by tapping them. Nothing for the benefit of society or my local community. Just pure demonic , harmful fun.. Muuuhaaahaaaa...] Actually the magic I have done , worked really well. Its just I looked such a tit in the pub , dressed like Gandalf. And as for the boot polish bit when I was learning voodoo....
too many students, too much to cover. it'll be glanced over, but if you really want to delve into it and do it justice you have to take the class for it.
