This was a tough call, I think it would be possible to get to where he is at, or close to, if achievements are added. Without achievements I'm looking at his points being at 18 - 22k. (15 X 1000 + 500 X 7) = 18,500. He does have all roles achievements and two others, but I'm just not seeing him reaching 27k unless he has a ton of achievements.

Neither Capitalism or Socialism is good in the extreme (read The Jungle). I think its productive to have socialist legislation in our capitalist society, even though we're told it is evil. By and by, I would NOT want to live in a socialist country, end of story.

In retrospect, chemistry was completely unnecessary for what I ended up studying and working in. So was physics, but I'm glad I learned it. I wanted to do everything, which was ridiculous... I ended up envying the people taking only 3-4 higher levels, classes in philosophy, geography, theater, etc. the easy classes. The people who didn't do more than a sport or two as their extracurriculars. I would have to get to school early in the morning to finish homework and leave around 8-9 at night, leaving me 3 hours at the pub to drink and dostart my homework on the weekdays. I'm so glad I'm done with high school... college gets so much better ;)

Homework has been assigned to students for many centuries as a method to improve student's theoretical and tacit knowledge on a particular subject. Homework assignments give students practice and improve their knowledge. However, research shows that homework assignments may not be beneficial for young learners. For instance, young adults could be overwhelmed with homework assignments that could lead to stress. Many students have sports, clubs, and other activities after school. These busy schedules do not allow time for homework to be effectively completed. Even though homework assignments may help students practice and understand academic materials better, it is not beneficial for students because it can lead to stress. Lengthy assignments take time away from other productive activities after school, which can actually hinder their academic performance.

The majority of the students can be overwhelmed with the amount of homework assignments they receive. When a student becomes overwhelmed, they might have to work all day and night to complete their homework assignment. Students who work overnight to finish their assignments, or project, get tired and are therefore inefficient the following day. "Staying up late doing homework assignments is not healthy habit and it only leads to circle of continual bad habits the next day." Being overwhelmed with homework assignments can cause a student to miss vital hours of sleep. Whenever a student becomes tired, they do not focus as much (Giles 1). Getting overwhelmed with homework assignments can cause more harm to the students and students will not benefit from doing their assignments.

Students are stressed out occasionally, and it could cause a negative impact on their lives. Young adults can be stressed out by homework assignments. Being overwhelmed with work, lifestyle, sports, and having homework added to your life can lead to stress. Parents can pressure the students because they want their children to succeed. "Students can feels pressured to do homework by high pressure parenting with Ivy League goals that leave students feeling empty inside" (Michaud 1). Students may have issues at home and they would have a hard time concentrating on their homework. Being stressed out will only harms the student instead of benefiting them.

Plenty of students struggled to find free time with everything going on in their life. Students spend about eight hours sleeping, and another eight hours at school, which leave them eight hours a day to do everything else. A lot of high school students are on at least one sport team, many students have to work, and many students have different activities they need to do in their life. "Teenagers, as a whole, need to have a well rounded social life, but excessive homework challenges the feasibility of extracurricular activities.(Giles, 1). In an increasingly global society, average students are finding it increasingly difficult to maintain what scientist call emotional quotient (EQ), which is positively correlated with social interaction. In fact, researchers are discovering that having a higher EQ is actually a better indicator of future success than IQ (intelligence quotient). You could therefore argue that, although academic skills play a vital role in a student’s future, developing social skills plays and equal if not greater role.

Low-income families who cannot afford to pay for internet are at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to proficiently completing homework, as many homework assignments may require Internet access. Students with no access are forced to stay after school, go to the library or go to public place with free Wi-Fi like McDonald's. "Access to the Web has expanded since then, but roughly a third of households with income of less than $30,000 a year and teens living at home still don't have broadband access there, according to the Pew Research Center" (Troianovski 1) If a student cannot go to a place with Wi-Fi, that student is forced to accept a zero for the assignment. Students, who have to travel just to get access to a source of Wi-Fi, expend more time and energy doing homework than those that have easy access. Therefore, homework places an undue burden on certain disadvantaged student looking for equality in education.

Many homework assignments, which I will call “busy work”, are not beneficial enough to justify the time expended and resources wasted. "By the time I got to that assignment, at 2 in the morning, I found it irrelevant, tedious and not worth doing" said junior Israel Hipolito.” I got high scores on tests but a lower grade because of the coloring assignment." (Hipolito 2) Irreverent homework assignments are very pointless and it just waste students' free time. Students can feel less motivated to do their homework assignment if they do not see the point in doing them.

A student might score no better than a D when tested in math, but because traditional grading awards points for handing in math homework, that student may earn a C or better in the class" (Bock, 1). According to the St. Charles High School, many students were on honor roll. After the school received their state test, they found out many of their students failed. Having a good grade does not reflect how much a student learns. From this we can extrapolate that, in some cases, tedious homework assignments do not equal academic success.

Several schools are implementing innovative methods for teaching the students. These schools are trying to teach the students without giving them homework assignments. Some teachers such as Becky Stevenson agreed that homework assignments should not be counted in your final grades. "She has been using pieces for the ideas in her classroom for at least five years, and gives feedback on homework even though it is not counted in the final grade, she also said her students have shifted from focusing on getting good grade to a desire to learn" (Bock 1). Students are learning better and desire to learn is a lot better for the students. Students may abuse the No Homework policy, but those who do will do worse on the tests according to Ethan Dobbs, a teacher who has the same policy. Evidence shows that no homework assignments are beneficial to the learners. < ------------ YOU BETTER FIND A CITATION FOR THAT SENTENCE.

Many schoolchildren may have other people to do their homework for them. Some parents do homework assignments for their children for various reasons. Parents may do homework assignments so their children could look good; make it easier for them, and save work for the parents. "A tenth of parents who took part said it saved stress if they did the work themselves, although not all of them admitted to doing so regularly" (Copping 1). How will the children be able to learn if they have other people doing their homework for them? This is a serious issue relating to homework which I argue is a valid reason for our education system to be so dependent on at home assignments.

Young adults find convenient ways to get around doing homework assignments; such as copying off friends or cheating on their homework assignments. "The findings come as surveys and studies show a majority of students cheat-whether through cribbing homework, plagiarizing essays from the Internet, or texting test answers to a friend's cellphone--even though overwhelming majorities consider it wrong" (Spark 1). Cheating on homework assignments will not help kids learn anything, and only furthers an inaccurate representation of that particular students academic progress. If the cheaters are caught, they would get in trouble and it may affect their academic's appearance and their future. Having fewer homework assignments may alleviate the student’s need or desire to cheat.

Most parents want their children to have the same way or better than when they had when they were growing up. Parents want their children to succeed and become the top in their class and they are willing to let their children have extra work. Some parents do not like changes and want homework assignments to be the same like it always has been for generations. When the school offered the idea of having no homework assignments to the parents, "The general mood of the room was, 'This isn't how I had it growing up.'" (Bock 1). This showed that parents would want their children to have it as hard as they did when they were growing up.

Some students have learning disability and homework can affect some of those disabilities. Disabilities such as dyslexia or various attention disorders such as ADHD can cause students to struggle with homework. There are many students that have at least one learning disability that struggle in school, and the last thing they need is more work at home. [B]“Instead researchers define it as reading difficulty that is unexpected given a person’s level of intelligence and education that such learning difficulties affect 1 in 5 students and more than 10 million children nationwide” (Duplantier 1). ← Did you quote this correctly? [/B]Many students have schools with individualized academic programs to help them learn at a standard rate. Homework assignments can be fatal to students with learning disabilities precisely because homework is normally completed during a time when their medications are no longer in effect.

Over the years, schools have been assigning work to be completed outside of school to the students hoping they would benefit from it. However, evidence suggests that it does not benefit the young learners enough to justify what is lossed. [B]Evidence shows that it is not beneficial for the students to have homework assignments, such as being stressed out, finding time to do homework assignments, lengthy assignments take times away from other productive activities after school, and it can hinder their academic performance. Eventually, more schools will realize that they need to change their method and abolish homework assignments. ←Basically rewrite everything that is bolded here…make it sound better. [/B]Homework assignments are not beneficial for the students and we should not be assigned homework assignments.

A student might score no better than a D when tested in math, but because traditional grading awards points for handing in math homework, that student may earn a C or better in the class" (Bock, 1). According to the St. Charles High School, many students were on honor roll. After the school received their state test, they found out many of their students failed. Having a good grade does not reflect how much a student learns. From this we can extrapolate that, in some cases, tedious homework assignments do not equal academic success.

Several schools are implementing innovative methods for teaching the students. These schools are trying to teach the students without giving them homework assignments. Some teachers such as Becky Stevenson agreed that homework assignments should not be counted in your final grades. "She has been using pieces for the ideas in her classroom for at least five years, and gives feedback on homework even though it is not counted in the final grade, she also said her students have shifted from focusing on getting good grade to a desire to learn" (Bock 1). Students are learning better and desire to learn is a lot better for the students. Students may abuse the No Homework policy, but those who do will do worse on the tests according to Ethan Dobbs, a teacher who has the same policy. Evidence shows that no homework assignments are beneficial to the learners. < ------------ YOU BETTER FIND A CITATION FOR THAT SENTENCE.

Many schoolchildren may have other people to do their homework for them. Some parents do homework assignments for their children for various reasons. Parents may do homework assignments so their children could look good; make it easier for them, and save work for the parents. "A tenth of parents who took part said it saved stress if they did the work themselves, although not all of them admitted to doing so regularly" (Copping 1). How will the children be able to learn if they have other people doing their homework for them? This is a serious issue relating to homework which I argue is a valid reason for our education system to be so dependent on at home assignments.

Young adults find convenient ways to get around doing homework assignments; such as copying off friends or cheating on their homework assignments. "The findings come as surveys and studies show a majority of students cheat-whether through cribbing homework, plagiarizing essays from the Internet, or texting test answers to a friend's cellphone--even though overwhelming majorities consider it wrong" (Spark 1). Cheating on homework assignments will not help kids learn anything, and only furthers an inaccurate representation of that particular students academic progress. If the cheaters are caught, they would get in trouble and it may affect their academic's appearance and their future. Having fewer homework assignments may alleviate the student’s need or desire to cheat.

Most parents want their children to have the same way or better than when they had when they were growing up. Parents want their children to succeed and become the top in their class and they are willing to let their children have extra work. Some parents do not like changes and want homework assignments to be the same like it always has been for generations. When the school offered the idea of having no homework assignments to the parents, "The general mood of the room was, 'This isn't how I had it growing up.'" (Bock 1). This showed that parents would want their children to have it as hard as they did when they were growing up.

Some students have learning disability and homework can affect some of those disabilities. Disabilities such as dyslexia or various attention disorders such as ADHD can cause students to struggle with homework. There are many students that have at least one learning disability that struggle in school, and the last thing they need is more work at home. “Instead researchers define it as reading difficulty that is unexpected given a person’s level of intelligence and education that such learning difficulties affect 1 in 5 students and more than 10 million children nationwide� (Duplantier 1). � Did you quote this correctly? Many students have schools with individualized academic programs to help them learn at a standard rate. Homework assignments can be fatal to students with learning disabilities precisely because homework is normally completed during a time when their medications are no longer in effect.

Over the years, schools have been assigning work to be completed outside of school to the students hoping they would benefit from it. However, evidence suggests that it does not benefit the young learners enough to justify what is lossed. Evidence shows that it is not beneficial for the students to have homework assignments, such as being stressed out, finding time to do homework assignments, lengthy assignments take times away from other productive activities after school, and it can hinder their academic performance. Eventually, more schools will realize that they need to change their method and abolish homework assignments. �Basically rewrite everything that is bolded here…make it sound better. Homework assignments are not beneficial for the students and we should not be assigned homework assignments.

I read the report, it was hacked…yes, but mainly by people with simple passwords. That suggests to me people who had hacked accounts were people with stupid passwords. A further statement found on two separate news agencies reported that no financial information was proliferated.

The real problem is with the lack of traffic in the game. Before I donate I would like to know how they plan on attracting players.

Lets see how it turns out. If you all want we can take a pool of bets on him going rouge again. State your time table on when he'll break his word….or him not breaking his word. Say for instance, you can bet that it'll be one week before he legit cheats.

[QUOTE=ThinkLiveLife;423323]Honestly I don't place the blame on either of them. One man dosn't hold power. The community around him gives him power to use. Sure they both did some awful shit with the power given them by their countries but that is a moral failure on everyone in that situation. Not just on the leader.

All too often inaction is more evil than any action ever could be. Hundreds of thousands of people made this possible in both situations. At least those two morally void psychopaths own their evil. Refer to all the Nazi leaders bullshit excuses when they were tried for war crimes down the road. If anything I have less respect for the people that rode this train to get rich off the deaths of millions than the ones who were perpetuating that slaughter. *Looks at IBM*

"Hitler officially declared death to all non-german nations." That is a big statement, you'll need to elaborate on it further.

I think it is fair to add the 20-26 million Soviets who died fighting Hitler's war. Not to mention the people Hitler had put to death and the casualties of other nations. Thing is, it is hard to determine exactly how many people Stalin had killed...
