The rules apply to the community. In regards to the site, this topic, and so on, he is spamming. The posts are doing nothing other than adding to his post count. He's not ranting, he's just babbling. If he wishes to type like that, while annoying, it is allowed. However, he has no content in his posts. If he is to continue, he needs to be actually saying something, not just typing words that add up to no point.

I agree with Aumaan Anubis here, sorry guys, but you're only making it worse.

Nobody's claiming to be making it better. We're (Well, I am) telling Insane to cease his spam-type postings. Nobody else is permitted to go into a thread and post random gibberish, why is he allowed to do it here? Would you call it spam if I started posting random words in threads? I believe the answer is yes. It is not a rant, it is off-topic, and it is pointless. It is spam, and it needs to stop.

I agree that his spam, not that I've seen it, needs to stop. Though, I found that the criticizm aimed at him was unnecessary and uncalled for.

Anyway, to get back on-topic...

I hate history quizzes. I hate history tests. And lastly, I hate history.

You mean the presentation as a whole? Or mainly the use of powerpoint and its all-the-same designs?

I say only a few people can execute them well..There's too much of an over reliance on them and people suck at it.

Oh, interesting power point presentations are good, however i've never come across one.

My main rant comes from an hour and a half of people doing reports on presidents in my governent class. They write tons of crap on a slide, then sit there staring at it, reading... it... off.. like... this... It's supposed to be basically a reference to the people watching, with sparse words and interesting graphics to help you understand what the person is saying, not the other way around.

I got an Alegbra II test tomorrow and I don't understand any of it. I look at the examples but don't understand what to do after a few steps how it's relevant to a certain problem. I've looked on the Internet for step by step examples but so far no luck. Help is appreciated by the way.

My WMP decided not to work anymore. Whenever I try to play anything (music, video, stream) it fails. (Windows Media Player has stopped working window pops up) It's on Vista, mind, so it's not totally unexpected. Not really a problem as I use iTunes, but for some things it'd be nice.

My Rant: Religious Nuts.

One of them saw me pitch a banker box full of Spanish Bibles in the dumpster, and this little jesus freak Got all pissed off and started yelling at me how I committed a sin and some shit, so I told him to piss off. so he starts yelling all this religious crap at me, like I'm gonna burn in hell and some shit, so I turned around and faced him off. I told him don't preach your Christian Bullshit towards me, and shoved him off. so the kid runs into the locker room and grabs a Staff Assistant.(our School Equivalent of Mall Cops) So the guy he gets is like the Assistant to the Christian Club, and the guy tells me to pick the Bibles out of the dumpster. And starts yelling at me on how this can be considered a hate crime based on a religious Standpoint.

Yeah..It saddens me to say that a lot of Christians (or anyone in any religion, but mostly Christians) are terrible about being hypocritical asses. Anyone who knows me well knows that I rarely go to Church, and I even more rarely affiliate myself with the Christian name. I go for the "it's a relationship, no a religion" stand-point, so you wont ever find me damning you to Hell for what you believe.
