What have you learnt today?

[cgymike]

I learned that if you make a thread criticising JUB the thread is deleted.

 

[pat grimshaw]

^ which thread was that?

 

[cgymike]

It doesn't matter the thread is gone.

 

[ashonfire]

Did you take him up on his offer?

I know better than to click a link about a fetish

Nah. Part of me would like to go because I'm fascinated by oddness generally but it wouldn't be fair to guy for me to meet-up just to gawk.

The link's safe, it's a pretty light and comparatively non-confronting, though mind-boggling, fetish.

that i still don't know wtf those kids were spelling out at the end of jahiem's fabulous record.



G-R-U-T-E-F-U-G-L-A-F-T-S-U-C-G-E?? say what??

for those that don't know what i'm talking about.

one of new jersey's own. got the nerve to name your albums "still ghetto", "ghetto classics" and the hugest wtf of them all "ghetto love" he's not even from brick city. he's from new brunswick.

starts at the 3:04 mark.

Don't know the song but....

(after listening about four times)


U-N-I-T-Y is all we need

to get our R-E-S-P-E-C-T

and never G-I-V-E U-P

and keep your H-E-A-D U-P


(then they repeat the last two lines many times)

why does such a positive message sound so funny then when they say it like that? it just sounds awkward when they spell it.

 

[jkom1f]

I learned that this website is a strange beast.

 

[bankside]

I've learnt that not all Canadians are familiar with standard English. I had assumed that even when we make a habit of using American English (aluminum, tire, curb, sidewalk…) we'd still recognise real English English.

 

[refujiunderground]

that sometimes you have to get over yourself and face your fears. two steps forward, not looking back. life is for the living. you can succeed if you're willing to ride it out.

 

[cgymike]

Guys, I think it important to realize that, while JUB isn't perfect, it's the best of its kind on the 'Net, bar none.

I too have a couple of issues---the main one relating to the existence of trolls in the political room--but remember: we get free membership...unless you choose otherwise.

The benefits far, far outweigh the annoyances.

Yep and that's another reason for letting relatively minor gripes go. Kinda like when in a relationship when some things bother you about your bf but you don't split up because of it/them because there is more value in staying together.

Today I learned that England invaded and occupied Iceland during World War II. Never mentioned that in my history classes. I'm starting to realize that there is so much I didn't learn while in school.

Leaving aside the fact that you could not actually learn much from all that everybody should be learning at this stage of civilized development, but rather be hinted at all that MUST be learned during the couple of decades following the school period, you do not go to school to "learn": you go there to get programmed or, rather and in most cases, you are merely forced to follow a social rule and habit.

And yet I learned a quite bit in school, how do you explain that ?

Today I learned that Jerry Springer' shows are terrible (and yet funny in a twisted way to watch).

 

[BreakTheIce]

Here's what I learned

 

[star-warrior]

I was happy to learn that the books I bought for someone was loved and appreciated.

You said "a bit" ("quite" or not ): you prove my point
And do not mistake "learning" for "feeling".

 

[oakpope]

A feeling can be a learning experience, can it not ?

I didn't say that it was in English that I learned the most

Without school I wouldn't have the mental capacity to learn all that I know (the amount of which being irrelevant to the proposition).

It depends on how you account for it, especially if you use creative accounting

So you learned to learn at school. That's fine. At least you did, no matter where, no matter how

I learned that 50% of houses in India have toilets. The others do it in the streets, the fields and the rivers.

I learned that 50% of houses in India have toilets. The others do it in the streets, the fields and the rivers.

So does that mean that in India 100% of the toilets are used, while in the Western world only 50% of the people use the toilets available in a 100% of the houses?
