[QUOTE=maxwellcu]What's more troubling than the lack of literature knowledge is the terrifying lack of basic math and writing skills possessed by the typical American college student. Our high schools aren't teaching anyone anything.[/QUOTE]
Something just tells me you are not as smart as you think...
[QUOTE=LBJWADE]Damn shut up about it already I can sit here all day and throw out Shakespeare quotes and see what ones you remember from High School...[/QUOTE]
Go for it Bro!
See I got that from Shakespeare too. Othello to be exact.

I dunno man.
Thats a line you should just hear from living in a Western nation. I know for a fact I knew that line before I read Julies Caesar in high school.
Its one of the most famous lines out of anything Shakespeare wrote.
The only two that surpass it in modern cultural references are from [U]Hamlet[/U] with "Alas, poor Yorick, I knew him well" while holding a skull up (as with Rodney King, this is not the actual line) and [U]Romeo and Juliet[/U] with "Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?"
Its not like its some random joke from one of his lesser works.

Kent,
"Out damn spot." is pretty famous.
"Friends, Romans, Countrymen" is famous too.
There are really a bunch of famous Shakespearan quotes in culture when you think about it.....

I know the story behind Julius Ceasar I just didnt recongnize the quote because I never read it. While I know some of his other work like the back of my hand. It's just stupid for some posters to equate not knowing a quote to the mediocrity of the U.S school system....

Completely forgot about this pathetic crap.
Remember Shaugn Livingston? Dude got his skinny leg snapped in half and dude was willing to be carried out, but of course thrown on a stretcher. No tears either.
D-Whistle = All drama
Even T-Mobile knows what's up with Wade:
Wade: GET ME OUTA HERE!!!!!!
Cause he locked himself in a bathroom, dude freaked out and shit:facepalm[/QUOTE]
Explain to me how he would be carried out? If you've ever had a shoulder dislocation before you'd know you can't even stand up straight, let alone raise your arm so how would he bring it up to even put it around someone's shoulder? When your shoulder is dislocated you are stuck bent over standing or sitting with your non-injured arm holding up your injured arm by the forearm to keep it from falling and minimizing movement because even slight movement is painful
[QUOTE=LBJWADE]My point exactly :facepalm[/QUOTE]
Exactly. :applause:

You never heard of one of the most famous sentences in literature yet you did not hesitate to mock the guy who thought Caesar was a new type of deodorant or something ...

:lol
Dunno if it was posted but Et Tu is latin for "even you" or "you too"
[QUOTE=LBJWADE]:lol you sounded stupid and something still tells me you just brushed up on Wiki because you still make no mention of Shakespeare :lol
But whatever...[/QUOTE]
PrimeJohnnyDepp has an oblique, absurdist sense of humor that is probably lost on many ISHers.

No I didnt recognize the "Et tu" because I never had to read it for school. But I did know that Ceasar wasnt a [I]Roman God[/I] and I was just making fun of the fact that he was being a smart-ass and didn't know what he was talking about himself. Im not one of those smart-ass posters who correct grammar mistakes and I wasnt being one in this situation. I didnt understand something,someone clarified,and that should have been it. But no, some posters feel the need to use this as an example of the failed school system in America :facepalm for asking for clarification. Im not like that because I know the "wise man is the man who knows he knows nothing at all" (I think Shakespeare said that one too :rolleyes: [COLOR="White"]*enters sarcastic tone*[/COLOR]
[QUOTE=andgar923]Too bad Kobe does this with almost every shot, made or miss.
But instead of saying something to the refs, he berates them, pouts, and goes berserk like a 4 year old not getting his toy at Toys R Us.[/QUOTE]
