Re: Liberals did not destroy the American school system.
Has nothing to do with where I lived; this is common knowledge. You can convert the scores online yourself its not a bleeding secret. I'm sorry my grammar isn't good enough for you.
Scores have one score that they take for the majority of the time and they usually convert the other to that score. If I apply to Iowa they take the SAT's scores and turn them into ACT scores. If I apply to Dartmouth then they traditionally look at the SAT so they will convert my ACTscores to SAT scores when calculating my admissions. Bringing race as an anecdote into this stupid argument is a Red Herring. They have nothing to do with each other and you are simply using race as a measure of unfair admissions practices. This is not comparable nor is it one. Your just wrong.

uhhhhh no. I did not.

um im sorry you have that backwards with regard to the SAT. The midwest takes the ACT plain and simple. California is a little different in that alot of people take the SAT but also quite a few take the ACT. The east coast takes the SAT plain and simple. The SAT was designed for elite east coast universities and that is the test everyone here on the east coast takes.
That being said it is irrelevant because colleges look at both and weigh them equally so it doesn't matter.
Not sure where your getting the rocks to be insulted and call me a ****. You were wrong and I corrected what you believed. This wasn't malicious or meant in an insulting way it was simply alerting you too certain facts. Now you are more knowledgeable about the process and won't look silly if you ever tell an east coaster something about how they take the ACT. Not sure where your being insulted enough to resort to common muck slinging and vulgarities.

Eh, I get angry when I know I am wrong. Human nature. Don't take it seriously.

I just want you to understand that I wasn't trying to be condescending or insult you. I simply wished to let you know that you weren't right so that you wouldn't make the same mistake.

Oh yeah, I know man. I learn like a dumb animal. You gotta beat it in my head and tolerate my growling and barking. I am just barely smart enough to know that I just gotta keep sticking my neck out so that new stuff/ideas can be beaten into me.
Sorry if I insulted you.

Anonymous people on the internet can't insult me. Mostly because I imagine the ones with good English to be 300 pound men living in Boise who hate their lives and the poor English speakers call center operators living in Bangladesh and making a dollar a day. Yeah that what I think of all of you *************

'your' and 'you're' share the same pronunciation, at least in some English dialects. Based on the context, it's pretty clear Centurion intended the one that is a contraction of 'you' and 'are,' which makes for a perfectly grammatical sentence. The only mistakes are in the orthography: 'you're' is misspelled by leaving out the apostrophe and the <e>, the first word in the sentence is not capitalized, and two independent clauses run into each other with no period or semicolon separating them. None of these is a grammar error.*

*unless of course you're suggesting he actually intended the possessive determiner 'your,' which seems very unlikely, especially from a native English speaker like Centurion.
