Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>well i missed it by 1…i didnt exactly fail…its just ■■■■■■■■ because that person was hella strict and didn’t let me go back and edit it</p>

<p>like the first time i went to go take permit test, i passed but this other guy didn’t and the SASME PERSON let him go back and edit it ***</p>

22

<p>AHAHAHA IM LAUGHING SO HARD AT YOU. you must fail really badly at life</p>

23

<p>lol this is such a miserable thread.
I failed my permit test the first time. It’s not an intelligence thing, its a common sense thing.</p>

<p>I’m lacking in that area.
Don’t worry about it, just take it over again till you get it.
btw, cali’s driving laws are unreal. You have to be 18 or something until you can drive with a passenger?</p>

<p>then again, florida has an aweful crash reputation.</p>

24

<p>no cuz like…it asked about “if your gonna tow someone, which lane would you be in?”</p>

<p>i put most farthest rightmost lane…but apparently you can drive in any of the 2 right lanes?? watf???</p>

<p>■■■■…and then there were hella random ass questions that noone cares aboutFML</p>

25

<p>haha FYL indeed</p>

26

<p>no i mean srsly lol, but i’m not looking into teh towing business as a career choice</p>

27

<p>hahaha
i remember a question from my permit test. It had a picture of a deer on a sign and asked
“What does this sign indicate?”</p>

<p>A. Merge lane ahead</p>

<p>B. Deer Crossing</p>

<p>C. Drive with caution</p>

<p>D. construction ahead</p>

<p>lol. Really?</p>

28

<p>yea most questions are like that. which is why im astounded how a Cc’er could fail that test. even if he is the most unqualified cc’er…still…</p>

29

<p>erm i didn’t study. second of all, i passed the other practice tests with flying colors. third, i’m more qualified than you =D</p>

<p>I absolutely despise ignorance, India is not a third world country. Frankly, I resent the notion of […] world country.</p>

<p>“Oh why don’t we just call all Western nations first world and all the nations in Africa third world because they are obviously inferior…”</p>

<p>[File:First</a> second third worlds map.svg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:First_second_third_worlds_map.svg]File:First”>File:First second third worlds map.svg - Wikipedia)</p>

<p>the third world countries are in green…</p>

<p>and sure, india may be developing fast but it is still laden in poverty and the like</p>

<p>…</p>

<p>“Oh why don’t we just call all Western nations first world and all the nations in Africa third world because they are obviously inferior…” </p>

<p>The terms “First, Second and Third World” are out of date since the collapse of the USSR. Basically NATO and friends (Capitalist countries) were the “First World” (you can tell a captialist coined the term), the Soviet Bloc and Cuba (Communists) were the “Second World” and those who were allies with neither were classified as the “Third World” the reason that these Third World countries are undeveloped is because the classification came at a time when many of these countries and recently gained independence from their colonial power and had their own problems with nation-building etc. that they were not developed enough to risk a being involved in a war against a superpower.</p>

<p>

I’m so tired of people bringing that up; no one in the US has it as bad as some people in several African countries (Zimbabwe for instance). But really now, get off your high horse and let us complain.</p>

<p>OP, did you parents really say stuff like that or were you exaggerating?</p>

34

<p>India > A guy who can’t pass a drivers test.</p>

35

<p>^^^Wow, I never knew that, quite interesting.</p>

<p>Anywho, yea, everyone has bad days and good days. It’s better to vent than to keep it in, and obviously doing so makes you feel better. Just roll with the punches.</p>

36

<p>The Yank in London is totally right. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd world are out dated terms. 1st just means Capitalist democracy. 2nd just means Communist command economy. And 3rd means everyone else because no one cared enough about them. The correct terms these days are “More Developed Country” and “Less Developed Country.” These aren’t categories, but rather adjectival descriptors. So Mexico is a more developed country than Afghanistan. But Mexico is a less developed country than the USA.</p>

<p>Most of the comments on this thread about Africa are absolutely horrible as well. Statements like these show just how much we’re already inculcated into a paternalistic view of Africa (and not of the individual countries in Africa, because who’d bother to know those? ■■■■) at a high school age.</p>
