Re: Monthly chat May 2015

Re: Monthly chat May 2015 I also think the tests might depend on the way they are organized. For example, as far as I remember from biology, there were questions like, explain how food is digested. and you had to describe it step by step. There were also questions filled with alternatives

Re: Monthly chat May 2015 Ah afrim that makes sense. My biology exams were all single answer questions, as were certain parts of the general studdies exam. I will say not all of secondary school was fun, the less said about the shithole I went to between 11 and 15 where I did my gcsee

Re: Monthly chat May 2015 @Afrim, I certainly didn't mean being tired of studdying. I loved my secondary school (well at least the decent place where I did my a levels between 16-18), and would gladly go back there. Like you they didn't want a blind student, were in fact very o

Re: Monthly chat May 2015

Re: Monthly chat May 2015 @Dark, regarding She-Ra there is no big mystery as to why the dolls were marketed as part of their Barbie line. In the mid 80's He-Man was extremely popular with boys and Mattel wanted to launch a line of similar action figures for girls. Therefore

Re: Monthly chat May 2015 @Dark, I am also a fan of the original Transformers. As you said the plot and action ratio was well done for an animated series and wasn't over done. While the storylines weren't necessarily the best it worked. I really enjoyed the series as a whole as

Re: Monthly chat May 2015

Re: Monthly chat May 2015

Re: Monthly chat May 2015 @Dark, I do agree that Bruce Banner could be a much nicer person when he is not the Hulk, but that of course would undermine the storyline. It is Bruce's anger, rage, feelings of inadequacy, etc that fuels the change from human to Hulk. Getting rid of

Re: Monthly chat May 2015

Re: Monthly chat May 2015 @Dark, I do see where you are getting at. For the most part I agree with you that a lot of books are biased and since they are written by a person of a certain country he naturally props his or her country up as the good guys and assumes his or her readers
