whats with all the homework threads?
people used to think that the internet would advance society
on so many levels, but what has it really done besides make shopping
easier and turn kids into useless lazy "gimme gimme" a.d.d. freaks?

what is it that posesses a child to come to an internet forum dedicated to
movies, and ask for help (or rather 'please do it for me') with their homework?
not to sound like a crotchety old man, but way back in the stone age when i had
to do reports, i would have to go to the library and research, falling victim to
the dewey decimal system as i burned hours just looking for the material, let
alone actual research and work.

now its all searchable, and i think thats frikin awesome! how jealous am i? very!
but not in a bitter way, but in a 'GOOD FOR YOU!!!' way. you dont have
to go through the bullshit and hassle, and search engines save you hours upon
hours. so all is peachy, right?

now here we are, all this info just a *type-click search* away from an A+ on
your precious paper, and so many sites which have basically done your homework
FOR YOU already, and all thats left is to paraphrase, and what do
you do? "duuuh...i cant find anything about *insert misspelled topic*" or
"duuuh i cant decide what to write my paper on, because i dont have 5 minutes
to think about it" or "duh...where can i find info on *insert painfully easy topic
to search for*"

so is that the deal? do people's laziness and stupidity actually increase as
convenience and ease in gathering information increases? does anyone else
find this ironic?



oh and: do your own frikin homework!!!!!!!!

Goddamn right. Except that you should still go to the library and research, because you can find far more information on most topics that way then by cruising the internet.

Incidently, teachers still make students attach works cited pages to their work, right? What do you think your teacher's going to think if you turn in a report on the Gaza strip with a movie forum listed as a reference? Haven't you learned to use appropriate sources?

I like the homework threads. That way I can be an a$$hole without doing it to the regular members!

I'm not sure if that's the right thread but can anypone help me? I need to write a Paper about "Indiana and Mahatmo Ganti" ...and I can't find anything about it.

I totally agree!

And whenever I challenge anyone who does that I get painted as the bad guy. It is ridiculous and lazy. No wonder the percentage of dumb-asses is increasing exponentially.

Any research garnered from the Internet should be further researched by other means (yes deano this include you). Any research done on a web forum only reveals the researcher in question to be a total idiot.

Probably safe to bet on the 'bad guy jerk' option this time botankus.

When it comes to Bardork, I don't blame you.

I completely agree with both Kharma and PVS here, Bardock doesn't deserve an answer and some people are lazy and idiotic. They always have been internet just makes it that much easier.

Thanks for the props, and Bardock was just joking.

I know.

I like that name...If I ever change my name I know what it'll be...

I didn't even catch the 'Bardork' thing. That is kinda funny.

Yeah, I wanted to answer with some sort of alienation of his name..but the best I could think of was botankass which is about Jacope level..so i figured to just focus on damage containment.

I like botankass! A name change might be in order.

Ho-stankus

Stanky Ho... Yeah, I like that one.

Oh right...hate 'em damn homework swindlers....

This thread went from annoying to funny. Good work PVC, Bardork and Bostankass.

Now let's get back on topic before this thread is shut down, or before I am banned for calling you PVC, Bardork and Bostankass.

Oh my god, I laughed so much reading this thread.

But yeah. I think it's pretty dumb to use a movie forum as a homework help source. Do your own damn work

Hahaha. Fell victim to the Dewey Decimal System. I'm surprised you found this site.

I agree, children are too frigging lazy these days, instead of typing out a help thread, its just as easy to use a search engine.

We learned our stuff the old way, looking it up yourselves( I hope) , so shut up and use this gigantuan tool called the net. Afterall its not just for porn and forums...........ok thats 99%, but you can still learn something, IF U TRY.,hehe

We should all agree to feed any future homework threadists corrupt information as a means of teaching them that the internet isn't just a place to do a copy-and-paste from, but also a dwelling of some of the less salubrious individuals of this world. For this to be successful, we must do it subtly and never publicly divulge this information that you have become privy to.

If we do this properly, we could change the world...

Sounds like fun.

It is settled then. The next homework thread will be our first target. Remember the key word though; 'subtlety'.

(Of course, none of this will work if they've already read this thread, which could mean that we are the ones who are idiots.)

Ditto, thread's pretty amusing.

I do agree though. The internet's supposed to be a brilliant source of info, which is all well and good, but it breeds laziness and ignorance. Kind of ironic, that.

I quote;

"Do your own damn work."

Great idea, Krunky. You can count on me to help.

Most of the people who make Homework threads never venture to the GDF because it's too intellectual for them. I believe this thread's secret is safe.

Yes, what he said.

It's also kind of entertaining to see that whob, a member who prides himself in that he thinks that he knows everything, can't even spell my name properly with it written right in the quote above his post.

Whob, so often in your hurry to look intelligent or witty you end up looking like a complete bonehead. Thanks for the entertainment, but it's best that you took the time and effort to go out and get a clue. Or better yet, start a thread that condemns homosexuality and evolution, that'd be original!

Is there any way to tell you that you, also, did not contribute to this Thread without being guilty of the same? Well, I could add something to the Thread..but that's cheating.

No wai. All of Whob's posts are filled to the brim with accurate and unbiased information that houses the knowledge of life's secret questions.

Well, this thread seems to have missed it's topic since post 2. So it is kind of an Off-Topic thread just without stupid Off-Topic people....well, and whob.

You...just straight...the "h" is for homosexual, right?

i guess we should feel a sense of relief that they're not asking for help with their homework in the PotC forum

The real question is why are all these kids even DOING homework, it's a waste of time.

Did you ever think maybe they did look and couldn't find anything?

You know, if you don't like homework threads pvs, don't post in them, ignore them, they don't want your posts anymore then you want thier's..

Some of us however LIKE to help these kids learn something and find what they're looking for, because we like to help.

Beats the hell out of seeing your stupid rants that's for sure..

Somehow I get the feeling from your post you're a high school kid that's pissy to find out that you won't get homework help here

If someone couldn't find what they're looking for in a library or through the whole internet, the chances of them finding it on a movie message board are about as non-existant as it snowing in Death Valley in July. In other words, it's not going to happen.

If they can manage to find KMC, then they can find the information. Please don't defend stupidity or laziness, it just encourages such behaviour.

By that train of logic, if you don't like what PVS has to say in a thread of his making, then you need not read or post in it. Just made yourself look rather silly eh?

They don't learn anything by giving them the answers. The learn by seeking the answers themselves. They also learn valuable life skills by having to seek the information. Life skills that you deny them by helping them. Why do you hate the children?
