    Teachers do very little, it's up to the kid to actually do the work and learn. No matter how great the teacher it matters very little if the kid isn't willing to most of the heavy lifting. All those hours studying in a library was that you or your teacher? All the papers written was that you or your teacher?
    Teachers serve a purpose but you're the one who has to truly turn the lesson into something applicable.

    Oh please, I'm not being slow and I'm not remotely comparing royalty to the rest of us, I was pointing out that your own comparison of royalty to celebrity is ridiculous.

    If you can't comprehend the difference, or discuss it without trying to insult me, or for that matter, actually read what I've written, why are you even responding to my posts at all?

    I fell sad for him that he lost his mom in a young age. But saying his life is difficult as a prince and potential future king is a horse shit. Yes, I am sure his life has some difficulties but I bet you in a million years he would not trade it to AIDS orphan child in Uganda, so again cry me a fucken river.

    Royalty is celebrity, the world watches you and I wasn't insulting you I was merely pointing out your behavior. To say his life isn't easy is cruelly insensitive. He will never know the hardships that most of the world suffers through and again because of what his family has done. But you're right I'm done with this topic so good night and enjoy the circus.

    True, you have to put the effort and hours of studying in the library but let's give credit when credit is due. Great teachers shape and mold the future of this country. I am sure there are tons of stories by sucessful doctors, lawyers, bankers, even athletes how good teachers kept them out trouble and put them on straight road.

    IMO good teachers go under appreciated in this country.

    I think we rely on them too much. Any academic success I or anyone in my family or even my high achieving friends attained came from relentless work after class. Class is usually one hour, truly learning the material took a lot more than that. Just saying...

    A good teacher (which includes good parents) can make a world of difference when it comes to children's learning. It's not an easy job either. Other than breathing, eating, shitting, sleeping & the like, everything else has to be learned & those things aren't properly learned unless they are properly taught. Yes, at a certain point a person has to motivate themselves, but being taught by someone who loves to teach helps foster a love of learning & that is a great motivator.

    Wow, i guess i don't check in enough to keep up with the 7 pages of responses in the last 20 hours or so; hot thread i guess.

    For the record:

    The majority of my family is indigenous Arowak indian, which are the indians that inhabited the West Indies when the Europeans first got there. By this point, there would definitely be african blood in my blood lines, as well as god knows who else, from actual Indian, white European, Spanish, and whatever else.

    If I happen to be one of the few black people that is able to see the benefits of White Europeans bringing better agricultural principles, Architecture, Philosophy, Religion, and other elements of higher learning and education that you may be learning right now in college, well then, I guess that just makes me an ignorant negro, well doesn't it?

    ABC Online - Thursday 3rd February 2011: An Australian soldier has been killed and another seriously wounded by an improvised bomb in Afghanistan, the Defence Force has announced. Defence named the dead soldier as Corporal Richard Edward Atkinson, 22, of the Darwin-based 1st Combat Engineer Regiment. The soldiers, who were serving with Mentoring and Reconstruction Task Force 2, were on a foot patrol with the Afghan National Army in the Tangi Valley in southern Afghanistan's Uruzgan province.

    Sydney Morning Herald - Wednesday 25th August 2010: The latest Australian soldier to die in Afghanistan has been named as father-of-one Jared MacKinney. Lance Corporal MacKinney died in a firefight while on patrol. Lance Corporal MacKinney is the 21st Australian soldier to die in Afghanistan. Defence Force chief Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston said the 28-year-old lance corporal was from the Brisbane-based 6 Battalion Royal Australian Regiment.

    ABC Online - Saturday 21st August 2010: Private Grant Kirby, 35, and Private Thomas Dale, 21, were killed when an improvised explosive device (IED) went off while they were overseeing an Afghan army patrol in the Baluchi Valley. The men, attached to the 1st Mentoring Taskforce, were outside their Bushmaster armoured vehicle at the time of the blast. Two other soldiers, who were inside the vehicle, were wounded. The incident occurred on Friday at 10:30am (local time).

    Sydney Morning Herald - Saturday 14th August 2010: An Australian special forces soldier has been killed in a clash with insurgents, taking the Afghanistan death toll to 18 since 2001 and seven so far this year alone.

    ABC News - Saturday 10th July 2010: Private Nathan Bewes from the Brisbane based 6th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment, was killed by an improvised explosive device (IED) while on foot patrol with a colleague in the Chora Valley region of Uruzgan Province. He is the 17th Australian to be killed in Afghanistan.

    Report from THE AGE newspaper online 21st June 2010: Three Australian soldiers have been killed in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan, just a fortnight after two other diggers died in a roadside bomb blast in the war torn country. Ten were on board the chopper, Defence Chief Air Marshal Angus Houston told reporters. The soldiers are attached to the Special Operations Task Group and there are "a number of casualties", the department said in a statement.

    Private Ben Chuck, Private Timothy Aplin, and Private Scott Palmer, were killed when the helicopter they were on crashed on its way to a mission south of the Australian base at Tarin Kowt. They were part of the Special Operations Task Group drawn from the Sydney-based 2nd Commando Regiment. The three commandos had been to Afghanistan on previous tours. Seven other Australian soldiers were injured in the crash and two remain in intensive care. The deaths bring Australia's casualty toll in Afghanistan to16 since 2001.

    News from Associated Press 8th June 2010 - Two Australian soldiers were killed by an improvised explosive device (IED) in southern Afghanistan, the worst fatalities the country has suffered in a single day during military deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, an official said Tuesday. The men were among a total of 10 International Security Assistance Force troops, including seven Americans, killed in separate attacks on Monday on the deadliest day of the year for foreign forces in Afghanistan. A U.S. civilian contractor who trains Afghan police also died in a brazen suicide assault. It was the first multiple fatalities Australia has suffered in a day in either Afghanistan or Iraq, Acting Defense Force Chief Lt. Gen. David Hurley told reporters in the capital Canberra.

    Combat engineers Darren Smith and Jacob Moerland died after their foot patrol was hit by an improvised explosive device (IED) as they returned to base in the Mirabad Valley region of Uruzgan province.

    granted...not even close to the death of american soldiers, but a life lost is still a life lost, and to be honest, iraq didn't even come to mind because when i hear of the death of an australian soldier, i hear afghanistan . i found an article which i found very interesting about australian soldier's involvement with the war in iraq. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article4016186.ece

    You have tried to change it a bit. This isn't about my fallen Australian brother's in arms, but whether Australia was "NEEDED" clearly they were not. And the part they played in both wars, they could have been played sitting at home.

    And while the death of those 10 is a loss, anytime a warrior falls its a loss...but 10?

    ...and the Australian people really think America needed it? America needed to say "Hey see, its not just us, the world wants this". So Australian sends its men and women off to war...

    ...and then are stuck so far from that war so as to ensure that they don't get any scratches on them. To even suggest that Austria came to the aid of the US is ....

    ...man...........I can't even think of a good word. And its almost dishonorable for the Australian warriors. I can't even image how they feel. Warriors...sent to war only to be keep away from any actual battle.

    Were they afraid?

    Entire Brigades train in Australia. Hell I've been three three times (Darwin, Perth, Sydney). The Navy hold port in Australia. The US Airforce does training over Australian airspace.

    ...why?

    ....because you needed it.

    Dude you just stay arguing up in this piece. Please go get laid, I'm begging you. If these chicks want to have their fairy-tale BS then let 'em. Although I do find it ironic that some like DB talk all this nerdy single-gal feminist BS only to fall head over heels for the royal wedding of all things, LMBAO

    PS: Seinfeld is an American classic, up there with Miles Davis, Jackson Pollock and other American originals. His sitcom is up there with I Love Lucy and will be rerun forever. He also has more dough than God. So that you're not into his comedy is more about your bad taste than him.

    Over and out.
