Are you fucking kidding me?
This is the very kind of thinking that has caused me enormous grief with our local school system.
My daughter is a fucking genius, but she is also dyslexic (PDD, ADHD, too, but lets be focused for a moment!). She has a hell of a lot of trouble reading, spelling, doing math word problems, but still manages to get her grades scores into the upper percentile of kids in the state.
She is skipped over for additional services from which could greatly benefit, because her grades are already exceptional. I KNOW that she could do more, better, faster, if we could get some help with her dyslexia, but they are satisfied that she is "performing" according to expectation for kids in her age group. BUT, she is not a regular kid! She is much smarter than can be tested with reading skills exams (as per NCLB standards) and her school psychologist knows this also, but the school departments are under the gun to keep costs down, so my daughter and we as parents have to do it all on our own.
I KNOW she could be doing so much more in her education, if we had a little help! I can't do it all! I don't even have educational skills, but I have taught her far more than the dipshit school ever has.
I could certainly apply my hard-learned skills to help with her PDD problems (with which I can most assuredly identify and quite possibly assist) if I did not have to take so much time helping her to recognise the issues she faces with her dyslexia.
Sweden is not alone in this type of nonsense.

My parents took me out of school for 4 months because I had successfully defended myself against some bullies (they needed to visit the dentist afterwards) when I was 10 years old. In 4 months I did all school work that should have been completed in three years! Had no benefits of it, though. ::)

Freedom, morality, and the human dignity of the individual consists precisely of this; that he does good not because he is forced to do so, but because he freely conceives it, wants it, and loves it. Mikhail Bakunin.
Does it follow that I reject all authority? Perish the thought. In the matter of boots, I defer to the authority of the bootmaker. M. Bakunin.

Then O.A.L.D are talking out of their arses. Quotation's a noun, not a verb.
First person singular: I quote/we quote
Second person singular: You quote/you are quoting
Third person singular: He/she/it quotes or "is quoting".
Win.

I never said it was a verb. ???
-
yeah he said it was a noun.
-
:agreed:
-

No, but the word, quote, is often misused as a noun, especially on the internet. (Uhm, that's why Lucifer was picking on him.)
I've done it myself, casually falling into other people's bad habits while involved in 'net conversation.
"It's a shame and a disgrace."

Yeah the same nonsense happened to me. Apparently as I was already a genius that I didn't need any help academically. One good bit of advice I heard of was a learning log - I am going to try it when I get chance.

go with the flow
language changes because of social trends and shit. how people speak usually becomes the official and correct way.

This is largely how languages evolve, yes.

They were brave! :arrr:
-
They were cowards.
-
They fought for their believes and many of them gave their lives for it. It comes to mind: how many have given their lives for "liberalism"?
-
As it happened, they killed lots of innocent people before dying. In my book that is as cowardly as they come. It makes them cowards, and it makes their followers cowards.
Yes, that means you, Lit.

You must be proud.

They were cowards.
No, no - brave but foolish. They made the first step in recognising that society in its sense is flawed, however they failed to fully understand the flaws - which led to a poor attempt at a solution.

Cowards.

Agreed. It's documented that not only did none of these assholes have the guts to pull a trigger they couldn't even bear to watch the attempted extermination of members of an ancient and honorable religion. Their "solution" was racist garbage, and they were yellow to boot. Fuck them.
-
Hitler and Göring and many other high Nazis had been soldiers themselves in WWI. That's more than you can say about Bush, Rumsfeld et al. ::)

:agreed: But that doesn't do anything for my opinion of them.
