i had to write a ten page research paper this year (my sophmore year) and i had to learn all the format and such. i have also learned how to write a anylitical essay and a 5 paragraph essay. i have yet to learn how to spell. 

 

but i think it is a worthless skill. how many times is your boss gonna ask for a essay on this years cuts in production sector 17? all it teachs you is how to get through school and college, not real life.

 

 

I'm going to disagree but I guess it depends on what you consider the essence of essay writing. If all you're talking about is format then it doesn't really matter. However, you would be amazed at how many people in the work world can't write clearly and coherently.

 

One thing you learn from writing essays is how to organize your thoughts. And if the boss wants a report you need to be able to state quite clearly where things stand, what you've accomplished, justifications (if any) for shortfalls, and how you've already implented a plan to bring improvements in the next quarter.

i was talking about the format yes. i think learing how to write a straight forward report would be a valuble skill, though. but they dont teach that in english (or any of the english classes i have been in anyway, and i am in honors)

Urban legends about the camel spider (properly termed a solpugid or solifugid) are as old as the proverbial hills, but they made a huge resurgence when vectored by American troops in Kuwait during Desert Storm. They're not quite as big as your hand (unless you're a five-year-old), and very shy and secretive. They do like to hide in the shadows, and they do run very, very quickly for a critter (they can reach about 10 MPH, the fastest known non-flying arthropod). They make no noise whatsoever, they have no venom whatsoever, and they do not eat flesh--they eat small desert arthropods like crickets and pillbugs. The rumors of their attacking camels, or crawling onto sleeping GIs' faces, apparently stem from one of two things, both of which may be true to some extent: (1) they may use hair to line their burrow when they are about to lay a batch of eggs, said hair being clipped from dead camels or other dead mammals (and a sleeping GI is not much different), and/or (2) dead camels are covered with flies, and crawling over a camel corpse may make for a convenient way to get a good meal of flies.

 

We have camel spiders in the sandy parts of the southwest U.S. and Mexico (in Mexico they are called matevenados), considerably smaller than the Middle Eastern types, but of the same shy, unassuming habits. Completely harmless and beneficial critters, like the desert equivalent of a praying mantis.

hey, if you lie to someone so no one gets hurt and so you dont get screwed (i.e. get cut off from school, friends, computers etc.) becuase you beilve that what you are doing is not wrong but someone else who can screw you over does, is that wrong?

if i can trust someone, then i will never lie to them. but if i think that the person i am talking to will make a website about what i am telling them then they ar going to get a whole lota crap from me.

nope. i believe in luck, conicidences, and the subconcious.

how many miles is a knot?

some really hot chick that was wearing a skin tight mini skirt and tank top. god bless the school administrators that dont enforce the dress code.

i wake up. i stumble into the bathtub and turn on the water until it gets around my head. i am to lazy to turn it off with my hands so i take five min. trying to turn the nob eith my foot. then i fall asleep till my dad or sister bang on the door and tell me to get out. then i run like hell.

you know, if you think about it, all humans are insane. only an insane person would try and fly a plane or float a boat or fly to the moon or make a big box that shows pictures.

when a cat and a dog are almost the same size the cat will always win, they are just tougher pound for pound.

i love stupid shows that have low brow and crude humor, such as the three above, family guy being my favorite.

sorry i forgot bevis and butthead.

i vote for cats. i own two and they can entertain you for hours with only a little kat-nip and a lazer pen

something to do with gas and fireworks. i have done to many things to remember which one was stupiest. i lit my pants on fire once, but that was an accident.

none, cuase whenever i think that i think "but what if that gave me the resolve to do this?" etc. i think that i like who i am now and that all the mistakes i have made are just as important to who i am as the good choices i have made. doseant mean i dont want to improve on myself.
