I was just speaking with a fellow employee. He was explaining he can not divide and that he graduated only finishing Algebra 1A. He also explained that if it wasnt for the teacher botching his grades he wouldnt of passed Algebra1A. Now this is not where the hate derives from. No, it is that I say, "this is why I hate my state and country!"
"Why does it matter, you don't need to know how to divide!" Says another peer of mine. DONT NEED TO KNOW HOW TO DIVIDE! You think its fine that americans are such shat brains that they do not know how to divide. Adding to the already growing stupidity that is our people and pushing on toward our downhill path of becoming dependant on others to solve such problems for us. What happens when there is nobody left who is intelligent enough to do such things?
"Dude, did you divide anything today? Huh, NO didn't think so... its useless!" is the retort! I sit back and cry because I know the annoyances at the local convenience stores and McDonalds are going to grow exponentially in the next few years.
"That will be $4.23."
I hand over a fiver and she starts to type it in, "Oh wait, i got a quarter!"
"uhhhh, what change do I give you then?"
"A FUCKIN' DOLLAR BILL and 2 pennies!"
"I can't take your word on that, you might be trying to scam me! I have to redo this order to double check"
[EDIT] But then again I live in a country that the majority of people can't even speak their own language! It's one thing to use bad grammar and know your doing it and not care because of the atmosphere you may be in, but it is another thing to actually think conversate is a verb... or even a ****in' word at all!
I am going to be a teacher, and I will be employing a certain rule I used the entire time I was in school. NO CALCULATORS under any cicumstance... I don't give a shit if its asking for the square root of 144, YOU SHOULD KNOW ITS 12 by the time your in 6th grade! let alone ALGEBRA 2! I'll even be handing out LOG books in trig class, sorry motha fuckas! The only thing I may allow is it being used for SIN COS and the likes! I am going to engrave the idea that you don't use a calculator unless neccesary, such as time consumption like if I asked you the square root of 1.23!!!
I grew up on a farm, my father also drove tractor trailer. He taught me many things in these two areas, and what I learned has helped me more off the farm then it ever did ON the farm. He always told me to learn how to do it the right way then learn the short cuts. My brothers could never figure that one out! Me and my brother drove tractor trailer, I can tie down most any car and if handed a car I've never seen I could probably figure out a way to do it! My brother on the other hand cut every corner and never bothered to pay attention to my father when he was teaching the right way to do it. He figured outside of training Dad uses short cuts, why can't I? He has had atleast one car damage per trip and has to call me or my father all the time for how to tie down some cars! (BMW TR6!!!!) I have had ONE damage, and it was caused by an accident not the way I tied it down.
