No, it wasn't done where the EC are all at the end. There were 5 or 6 questions that had multiple answers that were correct, and she did not count them against you if you got them wrong.

Ah, there is the response I was looknig for. See, you're learning from all this. However, if you are going to make irrational claims such as that, please be able to support them. In fact, I would like an E-Mail from your teacher. I assume that he / she has a school account, right? If I see a @hotmail.com, @yahoo.com, or anything like that, I will disregard it. So please have your teacher send me one. paintballer4life04@sbcglobal.net

You both can lay off now. Brandon, I said it's due to raging hormones because that's what it is. You learned, at least you should have, in psychology that there comes a point when males bid for power over other males to become the alpha male. In this instance, that's what all of you are doing. There's been a bunch of posts that are trying to 1-up the other either by insulting or, in your case, by trying to make a locical argument about grammatical issues and a persons comments.
Once you all get past this bid for power you'll realize that all of you were worng at some point of the discussion and either concede to disagree on a subject or point out that someone had a better argument. Males usually bid for power over their fathers, which you try with me all the time and what happens, you lose.
In this case spounting grammatical superiority or grades is an attempt to state "I'm better than you so deal with it." If you want to get technical Brandon, I received an A in Freshman Composition, which is college level and you could barely achieve a B in 10th grade Honors English. Although my class is a higher level than yours and Roggies, I chose to state this to show how stupid it sounds. Jeremy could easily talk about his former classes and make us all feel stupid.
The point is that all of you are bidding for power over one-another and it's just plain silly. Debates are fine and the occasional mild argument is not bad but this constantly 1-uping is not getting anyone anywhere. It all comes back to raging hormones and the need to be better than someone else.

I know what I got, I don't care. The email is from @monroe.k12.mi.us, or something like that. |

Actually I did not learn that from psychology. I told you I watch too much tv.
I'm not trying to state, "I'm better than you," he just stated that he in fact had perfect grammar when writing a post. So why can I not point out his mistakes?
Teachers grade on assignments, correct? So just because I got a B in Honors English doesn't mean I didn't learn correct English. I have seen some of the stuff you wrote and some of the spelling and grammar mistakes Rick.
I lose when i 'bid for power?' Know why? Because you pull the, "I'm older than you and I'll take something away if I lose card." Everyone with a higher status than you does it. I like it when this happens. Know why? I like it because I know inside me that I in fact won that argument and that you had to threaten me with a punishment to make me stop. I tell you this all the time.
I'm not 'bidding for power' in any way whatsoever here. I'm defending Stender, my friend, and having fun. Roggie is constantly trying to 1-Up me, but ultimately is denied the pleasure. Read my posts. Have I once personally insulted someone? Nope. First, I talked about his 'perfect grammar." Next time I talked about his constant need to make his ePenis bigger by 1-Upping everyone in any subject(OK, that MIGHT have been a bit personal).
Now let's look at Roggie's posts shall we? First he tells Stender to shut up because he isn't funny when he made a joking thread. Then he tried to embarrass Stender again with his 'flawless grammar.' Let's read on... Hm, attacking Stender again? here, I'll show you his post.
Not personally trying to 1-Up anyone at all, right?
Now, in 3 weeks Roggie, I expect an E-Mail from someone and the E-Mail address better be __________@monroe.k12.mi.us. If not then I will ignore it.
<3 Debates. Sexy points for me?

I'm not sure if that is exact, it is close to it.

Even if you got sexy points you couldn't see them and no you're not getting any. Oh and you lose becasue I threaten to take thing is not becasue I lost an argument. It's because when you're on the losing side you'll still argue becasue you think you're right when in fact you are not.
You seem to be the only one who actually care what Roggie's grade was in English. Noone else does, so why make it a point? If you want ot be the grammar nazi, then do it but I can guarantee that you'll get no respect from anyone by constantly correcting them.
And you "defending" someone by trying to 1-up them in a "debate" is you trying to flex your dominance over someone else in an intellectual argument. Once again, whether you see it or not, you're trying to 1-up someone. Hence your defence of your own statements to me defending your arguments in favor of Stender. Quite honestly, Stender can stick up for himself and doesn't really need anyone else adding fuel to the fire in a debate between him and someone else.
Your inputs and demands to see proof have taken the debate away from Roggie and Stender and made it about you and Roggie. Honestly, this thread started between Stender and Deluxe and has now turned, as most do, in to a Roggie vs Brandon debate.
As far as grades and grammar go, it takes effort and if you had put half the effort into your grades as you do in these debate I wouldn't be up your ass about your grades. The same goes for other aspects of your life that I hassel you about. You should be congratulating Roggie for achieving above his peers at his school. That takes hard work and dedication and no one can argue against that.
This is all getting stupid and I've honestly had enough. This will be my last response but I'll monitor the thread. If it gets any further out of hand, it'll be closed.

Boo.
Of course I'm the only one who cares. I'm the only one arguing with him, duh. If he is going to make particular emphasis on his 105% in English and expect me to believe it, then why shouldn't I question him on it. No offense guys, because I think of most of you as good friends, but I don't care if I lose their respect. Once again, most of you guys are cool with me, it's just that it's the internet and I will probably never meet any of you.
First: No starting sentences with And...it bugs me. Sorry for presenting an argument in an intellectual manner and keeping my cool the entire time? Aren't you being hypocritical when you say that by me claiming that I'm defending Stender, I'm really just trying to 1-Up someone? You are defending Roggie in your posts, but in fact you are trying to 1-Up me. GG.
It wasn't a debate between Roggie and Stender. It was an insultfest. Insult-a-palooza if you will(that sounded cool to me). However, Stender apologized to us on XBL, whereas I have neither heard or seen anything of the sort from Roggie.
Sure, if I was motivated to do work, but I'm honestly not very motivated at all. You actually believe half the thins he says? Maybe it's just me but I find it hard to believe that he can get a 105% on his English final then come here, claim his grammar is flawless, and make m istakes like that. Then not only that, but blame it on the fact that he likes oldtyme stories. GG again.
It is getting kind of boring. I can only '1-Up' people for so long before I lose interest. Maybe if someone posts something that personally insults me I will come back and pwn them too. One question: Why would you close a thread in the junkyard? That's pointless. It's not like we're swearing at each other or making death threats.
