[QUOTE=DogGunn;25867409]red frog crew during schoolies is awesome.
they come into your house, make you breakfast, a nice egg and bacon breakky (which they bring), they give you frogs, they look after you if you're completely smashed and your mates dont, and so much other stuff.

they do in the name of jesus from memory[/QUOTE]

red frogs always come to our college in brissy and give us free food.

its awesome.

[Super_Poo]

[QUOTE=Pat.Lithium;25867257]Why is English a compulsory subject in school? Where will I need to know how to analyse a poem?[/QUOTE]
english is more important than any other subject because being able to critically assess, analyze for information, understand contexts, effectively communicate information, ect is an everyday skill important for 99% of jobs. Maths is the only other thing used thats even close to its importance and seeing as we have calculators, it looses.

[QUOTE=teeheeV2;25867348]I asked the teacher that in third today and we spent the rest of the lesson having a debate over the usefulness of analysing poems in the real world, and I won :smug:

[editline]5th November 2010[/editline]

Not to say English isn't important, just that section is pointless.[/QUOTE]
being able to analyze poetry isn't useless as it teaches you analyzing skills. just because poetry is used as the meat to get some people who might like it interested doesn't mean its the point of being there. Also your teacher must be an idiot if she lost that debate, also appreciate the arts.

That's what I thought originally, but I scabbed off mates and it turned out great.
Mates n' I went to phillip island with a bunch of random kids we didn't really know and it was the best shit ever. Long story short, none of us got our bond back and we don't talk to the other group of kids anymore. It was worth it.

[QUOTE=reltih floda;25865293]Look, you're just some kid who I don't remember trolling but obviously you got upset over it. Now you can be a faggot and post with the shitty superiority complex you've built to defend your ego over the fact that while you're smarter than some kids they are all more popular and get invited to parties that you don't and get that cute girl you won't. I however don't give a fuck about your shitty whitenoise angry posting. Wah wah seriousposter pay attention to me i wanna make myself feel better about my social failings, I lol at you.[/QUOTE]

Who the fuck is seriousposter? You talk about your alt like it's some superior member to Facepunch and you claim I have an ego? Seriously, get over yourself.
You calim you know about my whole personality, yet you don't know shit about me.

I'm not going to talk to you. You said I wasn't smart.

I am now Mr Apple's number one fan. I even have a flag with his face on it.

He probably doesn't think I'm stupid. :saddowns:

[mutant]

Schoolies is pretty great though. It's hella cool living with your mates on your own for a bit. You can get into all kinds of trouble and not have to worry too much about it. It's all pretty chill.

[QUOTE=podthegod;25884737]I think they walked from asia, seriously[/QUOTE]

as dumb as that sounds, the land formation or some shit was like that when they first came here (which was actually 60,000 - 80,000 years ago, not 40k) so that they could walk here from somewhere else, don't think it was Asia, though.

I cant remember where i saw it, but i read aborigines originally came from Africa.

Past research has a theory that they did walk from the Asia area.

[QUOTE=Rusty100;25908702]are you guys actually serious[/QUOTE]

Yes. Im allowed to dislike poetry.

Our teacher was obsessed with poems. We got a poem as our Text, and she chose a poem for our related. The only real interesting thing we read were Henry Lawson's Short Stories. They were great.

[En-Guage V2]

Poetry is boring as shit

I'm going to have to do it next year as I'm doing English Studies as it's one of the subjects I'm good at
