EXATCLY! Our school (which is ranked 5th ij NJ) had the lowest amount of kids pass AP Chem last year. That class is crazy! I was talking to Juniors about it and they all said that the jump from regular chem to ap is ridiculous.

They asked (on the test i took today) such in depth questions for ALL the M/C questions, it was cray, i was luky i just finished. Honestly need to just pray i got a 3, no shot at a 4 like i was hopin.

I think it would be better to offer a second year of Chemistry instead of AP. My last year at my school, I switched my honors chemistry kids (year 1) to the same book as AP, so that they could do the first 1/2 of the book and then in AP finish the darn thing! It is not strictly how they want it taught but it was the best way we could do it because our traditional kids did not need the in depth content. The kids from that honors class, rocked the AP exam last year. It was bittersweet for me to have them do that under another teacher! When we go back to the US, I won't teach AP again. As much work as it is from a student stand point, it is equal from a teaching stand point! It was awful and I was exhausted!

Same here! That makes three of us lmaoo

Also, you contending with Leif for most confusing name? Leif apparently isnt "Leaf", and im pretty sure Jype isnt just "Jipe". Am i right? hahaha

High five! Is there anyone else who haven't got a clue who Daft Punk are? Come on lads, it's no shame admitting you don't listen to shit music.

And yes, you're correct. It can be tricky for a native English speaker to pronounce that properly since Finnish is so much different to English. I believe @manpe got the hang of it in the name change thread as the Estonian language is quite similar to Finnish.

I might get it my best friend is Finnish she is constantly teaching me Finnish words... But I am a poor student, my brain cannot cope with Finnish and Mandarin!

I can see how that can get complicated, both are among the hardest languages in the world.

The movie is exactly a parody!

How could you be expecting a more serious movie when the openning scene is already an absurd in itself?

The whole idea of the movie is to cleverly play with a lot of stereotypes that surround WW2...

Cant you see how everything is over the top in the film?

Each Basterd's background, the German movie actor/soldier, the rughness of both sides, Hitler is always overly screaming or smiling, the French culture clash, the racism presented in the helper inside the cinema, the tavern and Germans having fun, Brad Pitt accent, etc.

The ending was purposily chosen to be as far apart from the reality as possible. Hence Hitler is killed in a horrendous way (a clean death would be naturally the option, but everything is caricaturated in the movie).

This all shows how it has no intention to be factually right!

And that puts me off really. There were some really intense moments - Shoshanna meeting Waltz after years and the bar incident etc, but it was overshadowed by the parody it was. Maybe you can look past the unrealism and enjoy the film, I just cant!

Oh, fuck off. I'm allowed to dislike a movie, don't be a facist.

Of course you can dislike it, but that doesnt mean it is a shit movie...

[Rmpr 8,977]

I think I'm going to stick with this one, it's my nickname in the real life. I'm not a pussy like @Rmpr who couldn't stand the bullying and thought it's better to give in to their demands and change the name back.

You just started a fight with the mighty Romper, you better be prepared!

It's subjective. It's a shit movie to me dammit

I'm not scared of you.

De-man him, like you did to me. You'll be fine - just crush his balls.

@Stingray, did you approve of him?

It is a dilemma, really.

You see, @Jype voted for in the general knowledge thread, but @Rmpr didn't (that traitor !!! he should be hanged to the highest tree for that)

But, @Jype voted against me in the funiest member thread, @Rmpr voted for me ....

So the jury is still out on this one. I will await the proceedings of the awards ....
