If you had any clue about university life you'd realise it's best to have access to neccessary texts whenever you need it.No...studying on the internet isn't studying unless it's an academic site. Scopus, Science direct, WestLaw. etc. Where you can get peer reviewed and/or reference material for whatever it is you actually study. An interest in conspiracies and looking up stuff on google and wikipedia isn't studying whether you like it or not. Infact you'd get slated at university if you cited anything from wikipedia or google scholar even at undergraduate degree level.
Yes, you can call me arrogant because i've worked hard to achieve the level of academic success I have so I deserve to be arrogant with regards to that. Ignorant, on the other hand, is an idiotic remark.
Clearly i've touched a raw nerve because i'm holding up a mirror to your academic failings and general lack of intelligence. What other reason would there be for you flying off the handle like a petulant child.
I tell you what. Instead of reading the rubbish that you tried to counter my arguements with, I will just get straight to the point and post the definition of the word Study so that no one else on this board ever has to pay attention to your devious little tactics of trying to pretend that the word study has anything to do with school. Because it doesn't. And you and your "academic successes" or whatever it was you called them mean absolutely nothing to me. I am probably more informed about whats really going on with our government and the World than you may ever be. And thats why you are only known mainly on this board for posting little snippets of rude comments and nothing substantial for people to try and learn from.
But anyways, here's the definiton of Study guys. Don't let Jaden fool you with his lies.
Study
Application of the mind to the acquisition of knowledge, as by reading, investigation, or reflection: long hours of study.
Often, studies. a personal effort to gain knowledge: to pursue one's studies.
Research or a detailed examination and analysis of a subject, phenomenon, etc.
Deep thought, reverie, or a state of abstraction

Alright Jaden, now you show me where it says ANYWHERE in that definition of the word study that it has ANYTHING to do with the word school. Thats because the two have nothing to do with eachother.
A school is only ONE place that a person can study. But a person can choose to study anywhere, at anytime, in any place, in any situation. You can study without reading too. Thats where the Deep thought, reverie, or a state of abstraction
comes in.
So Jaden. Cut the bullshit. Start telling people the truth, and quit trying to twist it. Man sometimes I swear I think Jaden might be a dis-info agent. But on the other hand, I try not to pay too much attention to him.
