hey dudes, dudettes,

sorry for interfering in you intelectual posting but I was just wondering if maybe one of you could help me out on a subject for my new paper, its supposed to be an opinionated speech and I ran out of inspiration.

so pur-lease help me out pur-lease pur-lease pur-lease!

thankee kindly

Opinionated?

Ok, what are your opinions? What do you feel strongly about? Think of something that makes you feel either enraged, or passionately involved...

speech about what? what's the topic?

What's the topic clavis......

opinion about what....do you want me to sign your name and double space it too

no seriously whats the topic?

Why do people keep asking what the topic is- read her post. That's why she's asking for help.

yes, i read it..its an opinion paper...about what? opinion about what she read in class that day, open opinion about life. if its just a plain opinion paper, follow Lil B's advice

She's asking for help choosing a subject. The best advice was given in the subsequent post, unless anyone is going to volunteer a subject (which to me seems a bit pointless).

Gay marriage, abuse in the church, plastic surgery, photo shop models, poverty in Africa.

If it's an open topic paper, you're extremely lucky.

I hate these posts where people are asking help with their schoolwork. Isntead of spending time here, perhaps you could do your own work instead of asking for help from people who don't know you, and who might not know enough to give you sound advice.

What's worse is she's asking for a suggestion on a paper that's supposed to respert HER opinion.

I reckon he was just appreciating the irony.

Pick abortion, everyone has an opinion on that.

I don't. I genetically engineered myself not to have an opinion on abortion.

Either way, she's asked for help now, so are we going to help her? I wasn't planning on writing it for her, which is why I suggested she write about something she's passionate about. And Tears is right, if she's got an open subject paper she's very lucky. Especially considering it's an open subject, opinionated paper.

No, at least I'm not. Let her do her work for herself. This is not like trying to help a child understand arithmetic. This is helping someone (who should be mature enough to do it on their own) write a paper (or even give her an idea) about a topic and then give her own opinion about it.

Write aboot KharmaDog.

i have an idea for a topic:

how the internet contributes to complacency and outright dysfunction in the learning process.

Write aboot PVS.

Well, I'm willing to help.

Dude, first of all don't talk about me as if I'm not there...

second of all, yes it is my opinion but I need a SUBJECT that I can write my opinion on.. don't you f-ing understand that mister?

and yes, maybe it is sad to ask people like YOU advice but I was kind of hoping that with this post I would actually atract people who actually like helping me, so if you don't want to help me then stay the hell out of here because obviously you are irritated by this post.
I say soi

and FYI Karma DOG or whatever your name is, you try writing something in Dutch, it's not like it's easy.

and thank you for the abortion one, but this is for my finals so its got to be something spectacular and all of you thank you for helping me out or at least wanted to help me out without bashing this thread for no reason whatsoever.

Like I said before, what are you passionate about? How about you use this experience? Vent your frustration and share your opinion on overly opinionated people...

well yes, maybe I should give that dog an award for letting me figure out what I feel passionate about then thanks for that syren

I was thinking of : I don't believe in fate and or maybe adoption with homoseksual couples

Does that really make a difference in a forum? Apparently you weren't there because it took a while to respond.

That's still lazy. You can't figure a subject on your own like the millions of students who went to school before you? You can't peruse the internet, look at newspapers, watch the news or just look at anything in the world which would inspire an opinon? Rather than put any thought into it you'd rather ask complete strangers for a subject to develope an opinon on? Chances are that the opinon that you'd express would also be influenced by others who posted regarding the subject thereby negating the fact that it is your opinon at all.

Irritated by the post, and the intention and motives behind it. Therefore I gave my opinon about it, an opinon that I developed on my own without anyone's help.

well good for you let's all give kharmadog a warm hand

actually I've come to know lots of people on this forum so no they are not complete strangers for me, maybe it's just you that has no life and browses this page because in real life you are vapour to most people but no, that is not me. Maybe it is lazy but as I said, I just asked peoples opinions on subjects for papers not for your opinion on the whole thing, dude thats just sad go and annoy other people with your posts, I'm asking for help since I have browsed the internet and didn't really find anything that pleased me. I was hoping to get a serious answer from serious people but all you can do is bash people with your nasty comments, I'm giving you the choice to respond, you don't have to respond.

and maybe there were people who did this on their own with books and stuff, but I'm going to Ace this Dutch test that is why I need a wide selection of subjects I don't want some shitty remark from some shitty sad "Dog" as you call yourself.

DOG!!! LOLZ!!!!111111

Are you some little child that defends their lazy actions by throwing abuse because they have no real defense? I'm thinking so from what you have displayed, and no doubt will continue to.

You posted something on an open forum, I responded. You think that my answer is pathetic only because you don't like what I have to say. Grow up, and do your own work.

and how old are you exactly?

dude, shut the hell up your just annoying people, or well, you can post all you want on an "open" forum but please go to the off-topic department because I think that you are to egocentric to post here because that is not the problem we were talking about in the first place... so whatever makes you happy dude, I give up because I can not put my personal opinion on you aside, if you would at least just step out of this thread I would really appreciate it.. thank you

I think this thread is just a sly way of insulting every one.

thanks PVS I'll consider that, do you know any websites that tell us about wormholes, because I can't find anything on them, anything useful that is.. not just you PVS just everyone in general

Old enough. By 'exactly' are you talking down to the minute? That'd make me around 45,846,000 minutes old (or thereabouts).

Actually it doesn't seem that I am annoying alot of people, and that shouldn't matter anyway. I find your request annoying, does that mean you should stop posting? And actually, although loosley, I am on topic. I find it to be an epidemic that highschool and university students (not all, but many) are getting increasingly lazy and their work is getting poorer by the year, and this thread helps support that line of thinking.

Do you know the meaning of egocentric? How are you trying to apply it here? I am not making this thread about me, you are trying to make sure that this thread does not vere off in any direction that does not apply to you. That is egocentric.

It seems that I may have unwittingly helped you. And you are aware that PVS was taking a dig at you also are you not?

You're 87?!

KharmaDog, please take your bashing elsewhere. She's merely asking for help. She didn't ask you, or anyone, to write the paper for her. The only thing she asked for was a possible topic, so BACK OFF

Hold on here. Somebody posted on this forum a request to have people help them with their school work. It doesn't matter to what extent she wanted help, she asked for help with a simple task that a teacher requested HER to accomplish.

My response to this (which was on topic) was my dismay that this is a growing trend and suggested that she do her own work.

Clavis' hostile response was this


She felt compelled later to add


I responded, no flaming was in my posts, I addressed her comments

Here are Clavis' responses




I then called her a child, that is not bashing, that is how she was acting and told her that she should do her own schoolwork (which once again, is not bashing).

Clavis further replies:


So NyC-gUrL, if you actually read the thread, you'd see that I am not bashing anyone, and if anything I am being bashed. If you're a mod, you should know better, if you're not, you still should have figured it out.

So I guess I'm closer to 18, 396,000 minutes old. Thanx for the heads up.

How about, why people have problems with randomness......It's anal.

and here comes lil miss random

It's still a topic of great interest to some..........I just don't know why people have problems with extending a topic for more variety and stimulation beyond the boring subjects presented here sometimes.....

and the random superficial nature of the topic offers the addition of irony. brilliant!

I feel it has a branching effect.......growth in other fields of thought...yes.

The problem isn't with "extending a topic", the problem lies with arbitrarily changing the topic to a completely different subject.

Maybe I'm bored........and the topic is soooooo boring......sorry....How long can a person talk about punctuation....Oh my god....hahahaha

God knows I do try....Ask Storm.

Ponder this.

You get bored with general discussion.

You like to post off-topic.

You see where this is going, don't you?

oops wrong thread

Why is it that I feel like a dog in heat when ever I post?...God you just gotta jump on me........

That isn't near a good enough reason to subject us to your ramblings and rather intellectually clouded comments. If the topic is boring, and you have nothing really relevant to say regarding that topic, then start a new topic.

Way to derail another thread.

How very perceptive.

I just love the way you guys get irate just because someone asked for help. You've really restored my faith in people

i would rather have faith in our system of education.
the rest should then take care of itself...but alas...

I think the education system should be revamped.

I think it should be sacked.

Originally posted by Syren
I think it should be sacked. I agree!

I feel it's evolved into rote learning and not real knowledge and a desire of interest and growth......Edison, and Albert Einstein both were homeschooled after the education system said they weren't capable of keeping up with the class.
