what's wrong with the picture?

McLame will bring no change to America!


SHOCKING NEWS:

Prakash endorses McPain? We were debating about the issues today at IC. Much better than sitting around playing games... He was on the wrong side, obviously.

He tried to convince me that McCain was the real conservative. LOL!!!

He tried to justify McCain's statement of staying in Iraq for 100 years!

(He was actually winning at this point, but then...)

He argued that McCain was the real deal, not any democrat or Ron Paul. This prompted Timothy, Brian and Martin to come crashing down on him. (They support Obama)

Now, you know why I believe there are real advantages in imposing my "Rules for a fair and productive arguement", which has a statement on that neither party should use any form of ridiculing or superior psycho-persuasion technique on the other party"

Please note that I'm not against psychology, but instead disappointed at the way such techniques are being used against people who have no knowledge that they are being persuaded sub-consciously.

And this is in no way a witch-hunt thing, because there is clear evidence and effects that are scientifically existent.

Aw, your IC lessons are WAY more interesting than mine. I had to do a "reflection" on what we learnt in the 2 years of IC.

I did a silly slideshow, while at the same time had to prevent Chunting from messing around (including "Macbook remote terrorism"), as he sat next to me (Nicky had a Macbook).

In retrospect it seems as if I wasted a whole 2 hours. Argh. Too bad for me.

I mean, even if we had a debate, it'll still be boring, as very few of my classmates are actually interested in the elections.

During the previous debate with the candidates on gun control, my group mates were like "oh you know these stuff, you do it" (and I did become the spokesman). With this kind of attitude rife, how can you have a proper debate at all?

To comment on the style of writing itself, you might have noticed that we have made quite a lot of improvements since the start of the blog.

wtf...reflection for IC?

All we had were the "Congratulations! You've completed the course!" thing. At least I did.

Brian still has not handed in IC Service report....and at least 5 others.

Rational ignorance....is IRRATIONAL!!
In other words, these people are stupid.

I made a formal complaint to Mr Smith about him not putting Ron Paul on the list. I'd be willing to stand up for him alone. Hell, I know so much about him....

Oh my, where on earth did you find that The Seoul Times article? I am quite speechless.

Anyway, Try not to get mad.
